BRITISH WOMEN
 ASKING TERRACES
Demanding Public, Honon for
 Their Public Works

London, Feb. 23. R,-British wo. men. a great number of whom rose to distinction in 1927. are asking for more honors of knishthood and peerage as public recognition of their work.
 Out of 1s3 honors granted by King George V at the beginning of 1928, only 25 were conferred on women and these were of the low rank. The Women's Freedom league in view of women's records of accomplishment considers this an unfair reflection on their public activitieA
 "Peerages have been given to two conservative members of par lament and . former governor of Nigeria" the league declared in formal statement "Why was the Duchess of Atholl, the parliament tary secretary to the board of edu- cation. not given a similar dis tinction."
 Of 30 men who won knighthoods. 12, according to Miss Frances A. Underwood, secretary of the league. were granted for political and public services. two of the men were distinguished surgeons and one a journalist-but no wo- man in these spheres was given an equivalent honor.
 There are a great many women .,nA- V1n particularly think that women should be made privy councillors" Miss Underwood said. T do not see why women should not be given peerages, baronetcies and knight hoods. There should be no dis tinction whatever now that men and women are doing the samo | work.
 Tt is the privy council which has decided that women should not be admitted to the diplomatic and consular and Indian civil services and If women went on the council I think this would be altered" British women have just had an exceptionally successful year. More women were chosen for the office of mayor than in any other year. The election of Lady lveagh brought the number of women members of parliament to seven.
 Miss Elizabeth Scott. the woman architect, won the attention of the artistic world by her success in de- signing the winning plans of the Shakespeare Memorial Theater. Lady Bailey was coupled with Lindbergh in the awards in the field of aviation. She created a height record for women in light plane.
 Miss Sackville- West gained the Hawthornden prize for her poem "The Land" Miss Gertrude Trev- elyan won the Newdigate prize: Miss Helena H. Harrison, the Earl Grey Fellowship for work in bo- tany, and Miss c. r. Elam. the Robert Madfield scholarship to the Second Empire Mining and Metal lurgical congress in Canada.

AMERICAN WOMAN'S
 HISTORIC HOME
Anne Meredith Pr@idS Over
 Knole Castle in England

Seven Oaks. Engand, Feb. 23. R) An American woman, known to theatergoers as Anne Meredith, is the new Lady Sackville. who pre- sides over Knole Castle, the historic family seat in Kent, which has been the storm center about which some of the greatest lawsuits in English history have turned.
 Sir Charles Sackville-West, who has succeeded to the baronetcy of his brother, is the fourth baron of Knole, and nephew of the second haron, Lionel Edward Sackville- West, who was withdrawn from the post of British minister in Washington in 1888. at the request of President Cleveland, for having meddled in American domestic politics.
 The second Lord Sackville was a bachelor and after his death in 1908 Jean Baptiste Sackville- West brought an unsuccessful action to prove himself the son of the second baron and Josefa de Ortega, a Spanish dancer.
 knole is one of the most historic family seats in England. The bed room of King James stands in the old mansion exactly as 1t was when he used it 300 years ago and the house is rich in art treasures. But within the last 20 years a num- Der of the famous pictures, notably two Gainsboroughs, have been sold
 The present Lady Sackville. who was Mrs. Anne Meredith Bigelow of New York, married her husband four years ago when he was attach ed to the British embassy in Wash- ington. Recently he has been liv- ing in Guernsey in the Channel Is- lands where he is governor general of Guernsey and Sark.
 In 1913 the present Lord Sack wills brother and predecessor as holder of the baronetcy and his wife were parties to a suit brought to contest the will of Sir John Mur- ray Scott. under which they bene- fitted 10 the extent of about $30,- 0O0000

Lillian Engages veritsen in the Meaial Task Of Gathering Driftwood
 Thsrs was apparently nothing but his usual smooth smiling courtesy in Philip Veritxen's reception of Lil- lian's gibing invitation to renew his youth by gathering drtftwood with her. But l was standing near enough to him to catch a glimpse of the tiny spark of resentment which famed for an instant away back in his brilliant dark eyes. and then vanished again. Although the great producer does not cheapen his dig nifty by aping the dress or manner isms of extremely young men, I realized early in my acquaintance that he likes neither to remember that he has passed lifef meridian, nor to be reminded of the fact.
 To my surprise his boise was not proof against the temptation to re- turn Lillian's thrust.
 ''Is that your reason for going?" he asked. smiling.
 Tho little laugh which she gave him in answer was more malicious than any retort could have been.
 "Of course," she said. T never miss an opportunity of joining the gambols of youth"
 But suppose I prefer the society of the youngest person in the party" he returnsd, with a gallant little bow to Mother Graham.
 My mother-in. law laughed, with a sprightly little wave of the hand at him.
 My dear man." she said. "you know all children should have a nap in the afternoon. I'm going to take mine now. Go on and gather drift wood or sea shells. I shall be per fectly all right"

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

bA Dn. MothIS ElShbtlN Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine. Bleeding from the nose is fair ly frequent condition. It occurs not only as the result of direct blow, but also from a variety of causes associated with its structure. | Sometimes inflammation may at tack the vessels, sometimes there may be varicose veins in the nose that will burst, sometimes a little ulceration develops crust and vio- lent blowing or picking at the crust results in hemorrhage.
 Disease or Local Cause Not infrequently bleeding from i the nose is associated with such dis cases as inflammation of the kidneys ! hardening of the arteries or tumors in the nose. If the condition is due to some local cause such as an ulcer or a scratch. the bleeding will prob ably stop of itself after it is tenn porarily controlled.
 ! The simplest measure to aid the stopping of the bleeding is the plac- ing of the patient in a recumbent position, preferably with the face down. The application of ice water or of hot water to the nose or, the temporary packing of the nose with steriized clean gauge will help.
 Any superstitious measure. such as ice applied to the back of the neck, a cold key hung down the back, the inhaling of smoke, or sim ilar procedures are likely merely to , he a nuisance without giving any help.
 Examining the Blood i If person continuously bleeds, an examination of the blood should be made to find out If there is de- layed coagulation time. An investi- gation may also be made to find out whether the person happens to be- long to one of the families known as bleeders. in which coagulation of the blood occurs only with great dif- ficulty.
 , There is no way to strengthen the blood vessels so as to prevent hem orrhages, but a a'tompetent nose and throat specialist will be able 10 look into the nose and to find out whether a cauterzation of the vessel, a strengthening of the septum. or some similar procedure is necessary to control an anatomical defect.

 But once the brave was 'in the family" Miss Ashley further re- lates. he attained dignity and was coached to become the husband of a wife later to succeed her mother as keeper of the hearth. And how ever much he had to pay homage to the old woman before marriage, the ceremony dealth effectually with the mother-in-law problem.
 There may be men today who hesitate looking their mothers-in- law in the face. but in many of the pre-Columbian tribes a son.in Jaw was forbidden to glance at his wife's mother. Other tribes for bade him speaking to his mother in-law. while still others prohibited him eating with her."
 Miss Ashley also reveals that while the wife possessed unusual power. the Indians apparently had an easy system of divorce. For the brave in his passion for gambling often staked and lost his wife along with other earthly possessions.
 The great Indian game of skill was "chunkey stene" and Miss Ash ley believes she has unearthed a monument to the sport. It is q boulder covered with carvings which resemble the implements with which the natives played the game. The Indian rolled discuss like stone, with a hole in the mid dle. over a beaten track, then hurl- ed spear after it, the object being to stop the discus with the spear before the former reached a certain line.

 For neither the ballot box nor Nhe paint box could have added much to the power of these women, declares Miss Margaret Ashley. an- thropologist, who with Dr. Warren K. Morehead of the department of archaeology of Andover (Massachu- setts) academy. is engaged in trac- ing the history and culture of the Indians who built Georgia's mys- terious mound villages.
 On the other hand, the Indian brave was so fond of his vermillion coloring he often took 1t with him to the happy hunting ground,>along with his black flint spear and stone tomahawk.

 The tribes here were matriarchal and the women not only ruled the home, but the political situation as we'll. When a warrior fancied a young maiden for a wife, ha did not ask her father. Instead, he hung around the mothers tepee and presented her with his finest catches of game and pelts. If the mother thought he would make

Planting of the thousand crab apple
Srees which were donated to the Office
Of Public Buildings and Public Parks
of the National Capital for the local

the area on the south bank of the
river, between the Eleventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue bridges over the
stream, according to Lieut.. Col. U. S.
Grant, Sd, director of the Office.
Col. Grant said that the trees, which
were contributed by A. E. Wohlert,
nurseryman of Narberth. Pa, were
mostly of the double-b blossom variety.
which do not bear fruit, but make a
beautiful display in the Spring. The
first of them. totaling 250. are being
planted on the banks of the river, so
that a good view of the blooms may
be obtained by those crossing the
bridges.
Some of the others are being planted
temporarily in Section c, between the
Eleventh street bridge and Boiling
Field They will not be planted per-
manently until this area is cleaned up.
and a planting scheme can be worked
out, which probably will be later in
the year.
About 750 of the trees will be used
in these two sections of AnacoStia Park,
while the remainder will be distributed
in various parks about the city, ac-

the Merchants and Manufacturers As
location that arrangements had been
completed for the display tomorrow of
complete Christmas stocks 0 goods,
earlier this year than ever before.
Concerted action by local merchants
to make earlier showing of these stocks
was decided upon months ago, as con-
siderable time is required to get ship
ments here and in shape for display.
All of the larger and most of the small
er retail shops of Washington during
the coming week will present elaborate
window displays of Christmas goods.
The Christmas season. of course, is
the busiest retail period of the year,
and orders for merchandise were placed
in far-of markets as early as last
Spring.
A committee of the association found
after considerable study that it is to
the publicS advantage, as well as 10
the merchant, to offer complete Christ
mas merchandise as early as possible
