New York, Feb. 23.-How are American women exercising today the equal rights for which they were SO strenuously fighting . dec ade ago? What have their organiza- tions accomplishment civtcs, eci- ence. politics. art? Whither goes feminism?
 It was to these and other ques- tons of concern to very one inter- ested in the future of America and of the world that answers were sought from leading feminists gath cred here some time ago for the bi- ennial convention of the National Council of Women.

 Mrs. Frederick Nathan. officer of the National Council Of Women:
 "Women's clubs are beginning to realize the social inequality in America and 10 feel certain re- sponsibility about it. They are be- ginning to consider their concern about such things as the question of living wage. child labor. equal work. workmen's compensation. In the future. think. they will do more to bring about reform.'
 Mrs. Ella Boole, national presi- dent of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union:
 "Women's clubs are gaining pow CT and prestige each year. think their importance in the future will be gaugcd by their national and in- ternational activities. They no longer want to confine their activities to their little, immediate circles"

One of Brownsville's cold bache-

THE Gregorian calendar is a
clever scheme-but not entirely
perfect. Each common year we
have not quite a quarter day left
over, so each fourth year we add
the 29th day to February to use
up the surplus, but really a little
bit more. Leaving out the leap
years at the end of three centuries

error will be only one day in three

also be allowed the leap day
