chesty over their wartime achievements, English women have brazenly complained over the fact that their sex has long been cluded irom the honors awarded publicly to men on New Year’s Day and on the King’s Birthday. Yet for years females have been given the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, the Royal Red Cross and that of s. John of Jerusalem. The Order of Merit was also awarded to Florence Nightingale. Tobe sure. most of the honors habitually dis- tributed were reserved for ladies of royal birth, and the Nightingales were century glnts whose glorification could be viewed by thousands of their sisters only from front gats in the angel choir. But while this ould seem sufficient for a sex selected by Providence to act merely as a drab bac ground for humanity, the English howl for feminine honors has resulted in a Royal Or- der which provides that the Military Medal nay in exceptional cases be awarded to for- egn born and subject women for gallant ser- vice to England.

Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ An Old Story with a New Setting HE breaking of the American non-stop record in aviation by a gallant slip ofa girl, small, fair, and not yet twenty-five, is but the retelling of the same old story with a new setting. Ruth Law set out to prove that a woman's place was in the air as well as in the home, and toaccomplish her purpose she demanded an up-to-date machine. Did she get it? Indeed, not. The powers-that-be filled the small and inadequate gasolene tank of a ue well nigh obsolete, and said to her, “There, little girl, if you will fly, fly inthis. If we gave you the latest thing in bi-planes you would surely get burt.” This excuse, be it noted, is the same old threadbare one that has been used from time immemorial to keep woman out of man’s tool-chest. Its spirit is identical with that of a small boy I knew who trudged daily to school with two knives in his pocket: one to use himself and one to lend togirls. Read Bergson and learn how all through the animal world intelligence tried to cut loose from instinct, but never could do it, because the tool with which the animal worked was part of its body. nally the knot was cut with the appearance of man because man could make his own tool and make tools with which to and with these tools he tion. ay sound a bit highbrow, but it y simple, and it explains just ¥hat a horrible handicap it has proved to Wine Jelly when flavored with Abbott's Bitters ix made ul and healthful.
