It’s This Wcm By Petsfh It seems a long- time since Su san E. Anthony found a convenient log stump and set the air to ring ing with her cries for the right of women's suffrage in the United States. It has even been a com paratively long time since Mrs. Pankhurst succeeded in impress ing the importance of the same thing on hardy old veterans in the House of Commons in England. Yet the women of France are just now beginning to make pro gress toward women’s suffrage in what Jose Shercliff chooses to call “Never Never Land,” in his article on French women in a recent edi tion of “Independent Women.” Led by intelligent Madame Lou ise Weiss, non-militant. Puchesse d'e la Rochefoucauld, president of the National Union of Women, and Maria Verone, president of the French League for W o m e n \s Rights, the women of France are becoming more interested in ac quiring the rights which women of equally progressive nations are now enjoying. The Parts police have finally learned that the women are "dead in earnest.” At the last general election Madame Weiss set herself up as an unofficial candidate, and when police tried to do away with her polling station they were greeted with a smoke screen of face powder. Some five hundreu' boxes of the stuff were used dur ing the day, worrying both mar ried and unmarried members of the police force considerably. * * * There are several reasons, listed by Mr. Shercliff, why French wo men have not succeeded in their attempts before the present. It must be remembered that they as yet have no civil, political, or le gal rights, may not sign checks, may not even secure a passport without the written consent of the “head of the family.” The main reason given is based upon the de sires of the women themselves. Up to now, women have been content to stay at home, raise families, and exist as the powers behind the throne. Moreover, the chamber of depu ties has feared women’s suffrage in France because of their belief that women tend to favor a fascist doctrine. They also fear the de vout Catholic tendencies of the wo men folk, and anti-Catholics balk immediately. Nevertheless, in a land where there are 15,000 women doctors, and 150 women lawyers in Paris alone, much may be expected dur ing the next few years. What ef fect the present war condition may have on the question is hard to predict. But there is an expression on Madame Weiss’ face which seems to say, “It won't be long now.” Send the Emerald to your friends.

Membership Campaign to Start T Reason For Joining She’s a very bright, scholar Who with a bright shiny dollar Buys a membership card From the Y today. The lines don’t rhyme, but the point is that between Condon and Commerce today has been installed | a. booth where campus coeds can (buy a membership card from the j YWCA. Why have a membership in the ; Y you ask ? Mrs. Alice B. Macduff, assistant . dpan of women said yesterday: “Membership in the YWCA means an opportunity to form the close and lasting friendship, resulting from contact with people with a I common interest, working for a common purpose.” Elaine Sorensen, president of the YWCA, says: “Probably the thing I value most that the YWCA has given me has been friendships— both with the girls on this cam pus and interesting students and leaders from other places. Be sides, I have found that my work in the Y has proved a broadening influence and a great help in learn ing how to meet and work with people.” And a sophomore’s viewpoint by Gretchen Smith, Kwama, claims— “The YWCA is a dandy place for every girl on the campus to find an interest and activity which is most suited to her. An upperclassman, Ruth Weber, says -“The woman student who comes to the campus from out-of town finds in the Y bungalow a friendship that helps to dispel the feeling of strangeness which is common to all new students. The YWCA offers innumerable oppor tunities for student service and cooperation.” Patsy Neal, chairman of the membership drive, feels that the groups offered this year are un usually interesting, more so than in the past and the questions to be discussed are up-to-date and' mod ern. Doris Mabie, prominent sopho more, said that the Y offers a place for the college coed to spend her lime in discussion that is out side of the academic line of thought. Members of the purpose and contact group have been working in the living organizations this week campaigning for new mem bers for the active campus organi zation.

Le nore is an active member of the Amateur Fencing League of Amer ica. a league formed to inspire and keep alive the sport. Fencing combatants wear tail ored, padded jackets, or plas trons, decorated with a little red heart. Masks cover their faces, and they are armed with long, thin-bladed foils. The aim is to touch, (touche) the opponent so that if he were not padded the thrust would draw blood. The blunt end of the foil is supposed to land directly in, a thrust that Eugene’s Own Store McMorran & Washburne Merchandise of Merit Only PIIONE 2700 GUESS • IIow many feet of silk thread in a pair of 4 thread Berk shire hose, 45 gauge, size 91/2?
