WOMEN OF ENGLAND
DETERMINED TO WIN
EQUALITY IN DIVORCE
By Associated Press
London, April 16.—-Since English
women were given the vote some not-
ahle victories have been gained for
causes in which women are particular-
ly interestd. But there is stlU much
fighting to be done and victories to
be gained, their militant leaders say,
before they can claim to have won the
great contest for equal rights in which
they enlisted long ago.
One of these battles is expected to
be fought to a finish in parliament
very soon. Its legislative designation
is the Matrimonial Causes BUI, and
It seeks to amend the existing law of
divorce. It aims .to give a wife the
right to divorce her hitsband on the
same ground that he can divorce her.
As the law stands now In England,
the husband can divorce his wife for
adultery. But a Wife may prove her
husband guilty of adultery a dozen
times over and she will not stahd a
ghost of a chance of getting a divorce
unless she can prove him to have
been guilty also of cruelty.
"There are three reasons why this
bill should become law,’' says Mrs.
Wlntringham, who is supporting the
measure in the House of Commons.
"First, tl is only a matter of equity
and justice as between a husband and
•wife. Second, it received the support
of an overwhelming majority in the
House of Commons on the occasion of
its second reading, and third, the re-
moval of thp inequality is demanded
almost universally by the women of
men have only two representatives at
present who sit in parliament, but that
by no means is the measure of their
political power. It is -vastly greater.
No party can now afford to disregard
women’s votes.
“Then it has to be borne in mind
that there is a growing tendency today
to consider the woman's point of view-
in all matters relating to questions of
equality between the sexes. There Is
evidence also of a growing desire
among a certain section of the com
mtinity, both of men and women, that
women should rank equally with men
in domestic life, and take a nequal re-
sponsibility.”
FOURTEEN CHILDREN IN EL
PASO DEAF-DUMB SCHOOL
By Associated Press
El Paso, Texas, April 16.—Fourteen
children are enrolled in El Paso's
school for deaf and dumb. The school
has been operating three years and is
maintained by the public *8011001 sys-
tem, directed as any other city school
by the school board.
Miss Frances Stevens, teacher of
the school, who has had experience
with childrne who hear and speak as
well'as with those who cannot, says
that almost without exception the deaf
and dumb children have just as bright
minds as normal children.
“They learn rapidly, in spite of their
handicap,” said Miss Stevens. "There
are more than fourteen children who
are known to be deaf and dumb in El
Paso who are not in school because
school authorities do not know where
they are. Parents of such children
hesitate to tell of them and usually do
not report them in the school census.
Thee children can develop mentally
very rapidly, and their sense of touch
is very responsive.* They make good
artists, show talent in all kinds of
this country.”
England lags far behind most civil- jng almost as well as other children.

and women equality oftreatment with SPECIAL VENIRE SUMMONED

Austin, Texas, April 16.—Both hous-
es of the Thirty-eighth legislature es-
tablished quorums this morning and
■the special session got under way.
Twenty-threee members answered to
roll call in the Senate and one hun-
dred and three in the House.
The legislature is called upon to en-
act eight revenue measures by Gover-
nor Neff in his first message, which
was submitted soon after it convened.
The measures proposed by the gover-
nor include: Increased gross oil pro-
j duction tax, franchise tax, inheritance
1 tax, delinquent tax, and Income tax.
The governor also called upon the
session to give the revenue measures
first consideration. The state is fac-
ing a deficiency in its general revenue
funi of 3780,460 the message declared,
and considering the appropriations al-
ready made for the present year, the
state will have a deficiency of pproxi-
mately $3,400,000 by its close, it was
said.
Senator Charles Murphy, of Hous-
ton, was elected president pro tem of
the Senate. The body suspended the
rules and passed finally the per diem
and contingent expense bills, totaling
$110,000.
Eight bills were introduced in the
house, which included the so-called
quo warranto bill, sponsored by the
governor, seeking Uhe removal of
county officers who fail to perform the
duties as prescribed by oath. The bill
failed to pass at the regular session.

IMS BROS. GARAGE
By Associate* Pres*
Austin, Texas, April 16.—The state
should take steps to assist farmers
and tenants in obtaining their own
homes, in th eopinion of George B.
Terrell, state commmissioner of agri-
culture. Commissioner Terrell de-
clares the question of such assistance
mental work, and can make their liv-1 together with that of equalizing taxes
and placing the burden on those who
can best bear it, will be the principal
issues in political campaigns in the
future.
“Texas has 232,309 farm tenants or
53 per cent, and only 201,210 farm
: home owners,” Terrell saW. “There
are also more tenants than home own-
ers ni the cities. Something must be
done by the state to relieve this sit-
uation.’’
Terrell also advocates separation of
state and local taxes as a means of
obtaining tax equalization. The state
should not levy an ad valorem tax
upon the counties, but leave them tp
levy and collect such taxes for local
uses, he declare)!. Such action would
be a far-reaching step in obtaining a
better and stronger school system for
the state, the commissioner said.
By Aaooclated Press
New York, April 16. — Additional
wage advances, continued reports of
great industrial activity and indecis-
ive speculative markets have been the
chief topics of discussion in business
and financial circles during last week.
As had been anticipated, the re-
vival of the season for additional out-
door work has resulted in increased
competition for labor, this factor plain-
ly being the reason for the 11 per cent
increase in wages in the steel Indus-
try. The other outstanding advance
was in the packing Industry. In cer-
tain quarters, a disposition to view
recent increases with restraint was
apparent, the point being made that
the magnitude of the labor shortage
has been the subject of a certain
amount of exaggeration, the latter be-
ing prompted in some cases by a
desire to sell goods ahead.
In 3teel, it has become increasingly
clear that the buying movement which
started last December has come to an
end. Buyers are well covered ahead
and do not care to pay present high
prices for more remote deliveries. Ac-
cordingly, although the steel corpora-
tion's unfilled orders showed a further
gain during March, it is considered
that this sort of thing may have come
to an end for the time being at least.
Meanyhile steel workers are operating
at something like 90 per cent of ca-
pacity and are expected to continue to
do so for some months to come.
Among other record breaking indus-
trial performances are those of the
railroads and cotton mills. Railroad
traffic is remaining very heavy, ex-
ceeding the movement at this season
in any other year and for that matter
the optomistic estimates recently pre-
pared by the American Railway Asso-
ciation. Cotton consumption in March

CLARA PHILLIPS TRACED
TO SALVADOR, PAPER SAYS
By Aa*oc4*fw1 Preaa
Los Angeles, Caltf., April 16.—Clara
Phillips, who escape dfrom jail last
December, After"having been sentehc-
ed to ten years in prison for beating

Meadows, has been traced to San Sal-
vador, according ’ to a copyrighted

paper. •
amounted to 623.000 bales of lint, this
being over 100,000 bales greater than
in March a year ago and establishing,
in fact, the greatest month’s takings
in history.
Despite these evidences of prosperi-
ty, speculative sentiment remained
uncertain. Cotton prices fluctuated
over a wide range, being helped, on
the one hand, by heavy rains in parts
of the growing ar^p and being depress
ed, on the other, by profit taking and
short selling. Stocks were again un-
der pressure, particularly in the early
part of the week, oil shares being sold
on reductions in California and East*
ern crudes. Bear attacks did not suc-
ceed, however, in dislodging any large
amounts of stock.
Wheat was one commodity which
displayed consistent strength. It, to-
gether wiht corn, probably owed part
of its rsie to the Department of Agri-
culture crop report. The latter placed
the condition of winter wheat at 76.2
per cent, which compares with an esti-
mate of 78.4 a year ago. No official
estimate has been made as yet of the
acreage abandoned, and until this has
been done, ideas of probable yield will
remain sketchy. Nevertheless, a feel-
ing is growing that the winter wheat
crop will be somewhat smaller than
last year’s. Other factors helping the
grain prices are a revival of export
buying and a recrudescence in specula-
tion on the long side.
Money rates have been slightly eas-
ier, the relaxation being apparent in
call and time rates. The chage is ex-
plained in most quarters as being due
to the passing of the April 1 influences
and to a gradual drawing down of the
large government deposits which re-
sulted from the March tax collections
which were bigger than had been ex-
pected. Consistent with easier mon-
ey. bonds have been showing a sonje-
what better tone.

NEW DANCE RECORD;
RECTOR SCORES CRAZE
< Houston, Texas, April 16.—The en-
durance dance, which has been in pro-
gress at McMillian’s Dancing Acade-
my ended at 3:08 o’clock Sunday after-
noon with Miss Magdalene Williams,
red-haired and 23 years old, as the
winner. Miss 'Williams not only won
the endurance contest, but she smash-
ed- all world records, not by minutes,
as has been done heretofore, but by
more than twelve hours.
Not only did Glasgow, London, Bal-
timore and Cleveland records go down
before the strenuous vitality of the
young Houston dancer, but she didn’t
want to stop when she did. She could
have gone right on dancing Until 12
o’clock Sunday, she declared. She
stopped only after earnest urging by
Mayor Oscar Holcombe.
After Miss Williams had decisively
proven herself * winner and Houston
seemingly had all world records safe-
ly tucked away, Mayor Holcombe
wanted to see the long, grinding test
ended.
"I don’t want to see this contest
end in death or a tragedy,” said the
Mayor. “So please stop now.”
Galveston. Texas, April 16—Liken-

contests to break the “world’s record”
to a woman who committed suicide to
get a new thrill.” and to the ancient
Athenans who were only amused at
Paul’s efforts to bring the message of
God to them, the Rev. W. E. Phillips,
rector of Grace Episcopal Church, in
a sermon Sunday night declared that
such people are fools; that the Brit-
ish Government h;;s by legislation,
stopped the decadentcraze and that
the United States Government should-
take similar action.’’
Today,” he said, “we have the silly
dancing craze; one fool or a pair of
fools wear out a pair of dancing pumps
upon a dancing floor, in an attempt
to outdance the previous fools who
er, nature will demand from such as
these, satisfaction for the abuse of
natural power, in the form of a heart
lesion, or in inciting cause fa the di-
rection of tuberculosis.
“I am glad to know that the British
Government has stopped by legislative
action, this sort of decadent craze.’’

will do the same, 'Ny that the growing
