Some Warlike Females
Who Fought Own Battles

Many married men suspect the truth
of the legend Of the AmaZons, a race
Of warlike women who once overran
Europe, ventured as far as India and
Africa and founded colonies In Asia
Minor. Fairly authentic history re-
cords that in 1910 an explorer, Fran
cesco de Orellana, making his way
from Peru to the Atlantic through the
Brazils, was told of tribe Of warrior
women who lived apart from the men.
He proceeded on his journey and ap-
preached the neighborhood at the juno
ton Of the MADEIRA and Maranon
rivers, and suddenly found himself OPP
posed by a group Of warlike women
who were gathered on the banks and
were leading the men in what might
have been a battle, had the explorer
given them any excuse for 1t.
Being convinced that he had fallen
on the renowned AmaZons, Orellana
cross-examined some Of the natives,
who confirmed his belief. The women
appeared to be very tall, robust, fair
Of complexion, with long hair twisted
over their heads and skins of wild
beasts wound around their loins. They
carried bows and arrows with WHICH
they succeeded In killing many Of the
explorers party.
1t Is said to have been for these
fair but ferocious enemies that Orel-
lana named the river Amazon.

Objected to Knitting
in London Co. Council

Knitting needles may not click an
accompaniment to the debates In the
London county council.
This unwritten law was laid down
with emphasis by an irate masculine
.objector when Dame Beatrice Lyall,
member for East Fulham, produced
pair during an all-night session and
proceeded to click off intermlnable
hours of debate with as many inches
Of warm wooden sock.
No woman has yet had the hardi-
hood to produce knitting needles in
the house of commons, but in the
past men NJ. P.s have done so.
The most famous knitter in parlia-
mentary annals was one of the WasOn
brothers, who were well known to a
former generation at Westminster.
They were such big men that they
were prominent figures wherever they
appeared, and the spectacle Of one Of
them, a man six feet tall and proper
tlonately hefty, plying his knitting
needles throughout debates in the
house must have been incongruous.
His fellow NJ. P.'s apparently thought
nothing of It, however, for there are
no chronlcled objections in parliament
tary archives.
