Oxford Vni vwprtty ibv wdmlU women freely to lis tttgrvvH and to university niem lr &lit? , but Cambridge milt locks Its do against them. Naturally th women don't f a bit grateful for such Blfmp4Ctu They want the doors unlocked. The' -women from the Cambridge Colleges of Newiiham and Girton Hi are demanded ndmlsnion to degrees and university inemobrship on the same terms jik nun. Not long ago some 2600 of them tinned a pe tition to thin effect. The reply given by the university wurf polite, but unsatisfactory. Willi In the last two y4ira Cam bridge has voted and i-ountervote.d on various (proposals to admit wo men. The only proposal which It linn actually carried Hnd to this practical effect bus not yet been given is that women who are qual ified for degree statu may obtain "titles of degrees,'' but not real degrees. Iu making this half-luirted of fer Cambridge is proposing to treat women just as it formerly treated Jews and Nonconformists, whom al so it tried to satisfy with the titular degree until parliament stepped in and compelled the university to abolish its discriminations of creed Now women want parliament to intervene and compel Cambridge to abolish its discrimination against their sex. And situs are not lacking that Cambridge itself is beginning to see that ft will not pay to keep the women knocking at their door.' much longer. A deputation consisting of sev eral inemlierH of parliament, the heads of Girton and Newnham col leges and oilier friends of tho move ment recently talked with Mr. Fish er, minis ber of education. The min inter made it quite, plain that be was on the side uf the women and would do all he coultl to persuade CambridKH to open its doors to them. Parliament nl.o was undoubt edly on their side. Cambridge was looking for a grant from the ex chequer, htt said, but it was not likely parliament would vote it while Cambridge; continued to ex clude women. If Cambridge, found that by keeping women out the needed money also would be kopl out site would probably quickly de cide to let them in. It might not therefore become necessary 'to em ploy legislative pressure' to force her to open her doors. IS A REALITY A general review of condilioiiH in the lumber Industry by the Loyal I.ecion of Loggers and Lumbermen, indicates that the industry in gen eral is prosperous and figures are cited showing t that building oper ations this year are booming.

Harney Vukp, an Australian jockey. has jUHt come to London to reaume the saddle on KngllHh tracks. The first thlnir ho did ou liinillns was to upply for a licence and then an-' nouuee that ho was anxious to know if ho could teach unfiling to Eng lish riders. I'aso lauded Iho Australian rule that forces a rider, once he ha.t entered tho Jockoy'a room at the track, to remain there until the day's racing is finished and to keep,' absolutely away from the public. This applies whether the Jockey Is! workliiK or not. "In Australia rac-! hit; is boomini; and tlwre are un doubtedly many good Jockeys there," he said.
