everybody was excited The idea Of being free
to do what we wanted for whole day was
thrilling.
I'VE wanted to accomplish everything with
w out the help of a single man. Our
committee had chartered two busses to take us
to the country. But there was one hitch We
could not find an Arabic woman who could
drive car and We had to hire man chauffeurs
for the busses. We were upset at the necessity
Of having men along, but there was no way out
otherwise
Once we were out on the read many Of the
young women began to get worried Perhaps
we were not doing the right thing. Perhaps we
should not have left our homes and families
for whole day.
But when We got into the country where
we planned the picinc, we succeeded In banish-
ing public opinion from our thoughts We
sent the chauffeurs away and we really enjoyed
ourselves enormously breathing in a whole day
of absolute freedom, far from critical male
eyes,"
The women who belonged to Miss Hallabyis

the ankles to the modified turban that has
taken its place among the most advanced

1T is difficult for an outsider to understand
] the problems of women In Palestine Miss
Hallaby explains.
Organizing the women into club seems an
especially difficult job
IF you want to have any kind of under
standing Of the problems which a womans
club has to meet in Palestine the most inpor-
tant thing you must realize is the tremendous
force Of public opinion" she says. All our
women are constantly worrying about what
people win say and what men will think.
Our people are a proud nation fun of the
glory Of the past, and they are afraid to do or
say anything which may cast a bad reflection
upon their history. Blazing new trail for a
new cause makes shivers run up and down their
spines.
Fighting public opinion is almost crime,
and organizing under new banner must be
done carefully and slowly not to offend
too many people and arouse the ogre, public
opinion. 1t is frightful.
Here is a case in point. Our little club,
which started, planned to give picnic for
its members near the city of Jaffa. We all
pitched in for the cost of the refreshments and
we were all looking forward to wonderful day.

they are often seen to crawl up flights of stairs

afraid of anything else!
Recently group of Bedouin women proved
their native courage and their eagerness to
stand up for their husbands. The land on
which number of Bedouins had pitched their
tents for years was sold by the landlord to
other tenants at a good price The Bedouins
were told to move, but the women refused to

Dressed in long robes girdIed at the waist
and pouched down to the feet, these brave
women in their ancient costumes decided to
meet the British soldiers in what they con-
sidered a fair fight. As fast the soldiers
lowered the tents just as fast did the strong,
dark-Skinned women put them up again.
You ask me where the men were? The
women did not want them to join in the fight.
The men remained safely in hiding, for
and woman BedouinS all realize that resistance
on the part of men means imprisonment for

independent people, fear Imprisonment more
than death.

and were obliged to provide them with another

to the tents knowing that they safe"
THE village women are a different type from
the Bedouins. They are not so bad the
tent-dwellers, nor SO full of independence, but
they. too, have their fine qualities.
THE peasant women of the villages" Miss
Hallaby continues, "are simple in their tastes,
hoSpitable, never nervous, never questioning
Providence, standing in awe of learning and
books, of which they are entirely ignorant. The
village women seem to enjoy life, although We
as city women cannot understand why They
seem to have little reason to enjoy it.

Until only a few years ago even such con-
servativc affair as a woman's club was unheard
of in Palestine. As matter of fact, any
organization of women was considered shock
ing thing even to think about.
The women of Palestine in both village and
city had been subordinated to their men for
SO many centuries that one saw any reason
for their. sudden emancipat tion--not even the
women themselves. The men could hardly be-
heye it when the club was organized, and IT
wasn't until the Moslem women left off their
wells that the high commissioner of Palestine
realized that they were in earnest.
1t was only natural that the organization OF
women, which is just beginning, should have
sprung up with the aim OF helping the men,
Sultani Hallaby, young Palestinian girl,
who is now living in Philadelphia, where she
is taking a course in secretaryship at the
Drexel Institute, was the organizer OF the flrst
women's club in Jerusalem.
The purpose of this club was primarily to
raise money for the Boys School. A group OF men
had started the school and they did not have
enough money to keep it up. The women
collected money and sold their handiwork for
the benefit of the school.
DACIAL friction in Palestine brought about
n the debut of the Arab woman in public life
on October 20, 1929. Three hundred woman
delegates from all parts of the country as
sembled in Jerusalem that day. deciding
that the men could not carry the burden OF
their political problems alone and that 1t was
up to the women to do their share.
"The first thing that the group Of women
did" explains Miss Hallaby, was to send
committee to the high commissioner to ask
him to comply with their requests The
Moslem women agreed to sacrifice o custom
Of many centuries and lift their veil before
O stranger.
The high commissioner understood their
absolute sincerity when he saw the bare faces
of the Moslems in the committee. As a sign of
honor he received them, the first woman
politicians of Palestine, in his home instead Of
at his Office.
"He offered them coffee. Their leader
refused to drink. Coffee is sign of peace and
friendship, like the Indian pipe, and she said
they would not partake of it until he promised
to do all he could for them. He agreed and
they all slipped Arabic coffee.
Then the women asked his honor for
permission to make a public demonstration.
At first he tried to dissuade them from doing
something so sensational. Women had never
appeared in public for a cause. But they
persisted. Their determination was strong
that he had TO consent. He gave them a body
of soldiers for their protection.
"It was very exciting. was one of the group.
We knew we were pioneers and had the
zest and eagerness of the explorer untrod

women drove through the main streets Of

VINES VICTOR in
TENNIS TOURNEY
AT WIMBLEDON
By ROBERT DOWSON
'nited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


WIMBLEDON, Eng, July g.
Playing before an overflow crowd
which included the king and queen
of England, Ellsworth Vines of
California, United States national
champion, today won the English
tennis title in the final match with
Henry Wilfred Dummy Austin,
British player.
Scores were ca. 6-2, 60.
While Vines did not play as bril-
liantly as he did in defeating Jack
Crawford of Australia, he was we'll
able to defeat the clever English
player
He lacked some of the accuracy
which had marked earlier play at
Wimbledon, but much of this was
due to the high and gusty wind.
Austin repeatedly played for
Vines backhand which never failed
the Californian.
The outcome was a diSappoint-
ment to the crowd of $1,000 British
tennis fans who watched tensely
while Vines, the new California
master, maSsacred the British court
idol.
Vines followed the precedent he
established in the Crawford match
by acing Austin for match point.
The crowd took the outcome in
sporting fashion, admitting the AM
erican's superiority and giving him
a tremendous ovation.
King George and Queen Mary
arose as the pair left the court.
Vines play seemed unbeatable
seemed like that of a Tilden or a
LaCoste of old. He maneuvered
Austin at will, sending hot drives
to deep corners. These speedballs
were either missed entirely or were
returned SO weakly as to give Vines
perfect chances for kills.
The match was one of the short
est mems finals ever played at
Wimbledon.

CHICAGO, July 2. - The Hon.
Maurice 0One-eyedD Connolly, dele
gate at large from 48 states and the
free territories, today granted an
interview in which he clearly and
eoncisely outlined the nations great
est problems.
The Honorable Maurice was dis
covered in the lobby of the Demo-
cratic convention stadium, inserting
what appeared from few PAGES to
be dime into the clutches of a
popcorn vending machine.
Il think this will work." the Hon
orable Maurice said as we walked
up. 1T is button off dollar thir-
ty-f1ve shirt, and they hardly ever
fail. Still, 1t doesn't matter much,
for they put hardly any butter on
pop corn these days, which is a
shame, for popcorn without butter
Is a very poor dish. Nutritious, of
course, but not very tasty. But
then, very few things in life are
these days. The Sehmeling- -Shar-
key thing wasn't very tasty"
oh, so. the Honorable Maurice saw
that one.
"Of course 1 saw it. I travelled
from here ON the same train which
carried Mayor Cermak and his
party. Just before we pulled out
for New York ran back TO the OBJ
seryation car and shook hands with
the mayor And I beat him out
of the station in New York. Please
don't ask me how I manage tr
travel on the better trains. All
can say is that I know a place on
train that nobody else seems to
know. 1t is very small place, and
l cannot come out for food nor
water once under way. But a man
shouldn't complain as long as he
makes good time"
The Honorable Maurice was asked
how he liked his career of gate
crashing and plain and fancy
"bumming."

1T is a very tough life. / am Sc
years old now and more than 80
years of gate crashing has cost me
plenty of punishment. But it is the
only thing have to do. I tried
working once about II years ago,
and couldn't stand it. But please
do not use the word cumming.
People can say almost anything
else about me. But they can't say
I'm a lug. I haven't had as much

last 10 years, but I never ask for

He wore badge that looked as
much like the 1882 credentials as
an Illinois Central water tower does
like Greta Garbo. 1t bore the let

With this badge I can go up. on
the speakers platform. But I am
not using it now. The first day of
the conventionsI got a sergeant at

the boys keep out gate crashers.
You'd be surprised at the number
of people who are trying to get in
for nothing. 1t is shame"
