SUFFRAGE FOR INDIA'S WOMEN.
ENGLISH LADY PREACHER,
Standing among the native women preaching the gospel of female canaaicipa tiga in India is a young English-woman, wile of Air. Finarujadasa, an Indian scholar and Cambridge, graduate. Their home is at Madras, but at present they ace touring Australia..
As Miss Dorothy Grahame, Mrs. Jina- rujadusa took a prominent part some years ago in the militant tactics adopted by the suffragettes in England as a pro. test against women being denied the vote. Although she has never served time in Holloway, she has on several occasions experienced the excitement of being plaar under arrest after militant raids. Now she is helping the women of India in their demand for a voice in settling the affairs of the nation.
The Indian campaign; will lack the thrilla and adventurig of the British attacks because there is no occasion to put on the fighting gloves. Strange to relate, the men of India see eye to eye, with the women reformers on this ques tion, and the native women are very keen on securing the political privilege.
Recently Mrs. Jinarajadasa spoke to members of the National Council of Women and the Australian Women's National League on the Women of India. According to her data, there is no ope position from the men of India in regard to woman suffrage. At the National Conference held at Delhi fast December, attended by 10,000 dalezntes, a resolution in favour of woman suffrage was passed unanimously. A curtained space was reserved on the platform at the confer ence for hundreds of purdah women.
She stated that a great change had rome over the women of India, who were keonly interested in the political life of the nation and in reforms..

People who do not understand op
posthe idea of the Indian woman having the vote, on the ground that she would! not be capable of exercising the privilege intelligently. This ides is an absolutel fallacy said Mrs. Jinarajadzsa. ** The Indian woman may not be educated according to European standards, but she has the ideals, intelligence, and spiritua Ilt, that entitla her to take her right place as a factor in the Empire The Indian woman is a greater power in the national and home life than most "people imagine. At 40 or 45, the age when the average Indian woman has reached the grandmother stare. she is the supreme: ruler of the home. Her will in law. She commands the reverence of the menfolk. and through this power to a very marked extent governs their actions in regard to outside affairs.
In the ancient days of India women wern regarded as the equals of "meri rulers, warriors, councils seeking their co-operation when discussing the nation's war and probleras.”
About two years ago Mrs. Tinarafndaso formed a Women's Indian Association. and educational movement. Ita members are taught rending. writing, hygiene, sanitation. home-nursing, and encourag- ed to take a live interest in the worial and peponamin Ravelotment of the cmntry. The association new has 3.000 members and 48 branches, Areording to the visitor the Indian woman finde her chief amuse mentin tulving religion. When she frels the hands a little frivolous relaxa- tion after her daile, work is done, she dis en honk of religion with a congen ial neighbour, baka

CHASING HER OWN TAIL
Bit by bit the dark and deadly secrets of the war come out, now that the risk Lof disaster following upon disclosure is ended. Here are two: (1) Sometimes our cemaora suspected that the arrangement of plain words in, a echlegram was intended. to convey information to the enemy. These messages were subjected to an innocent- seeming paraphrase. Sometimes the mere despatch of a cable, whatever it said. might. the requisite hint. To scoth that scheme these mestages were occast in- ally given hot-foot preference over all others, and occasionally kept back for "days"
There were a few shootings at dawn (Tower of London) as the result of these experiments. (2) Divergent times caused a lot of bother. An Allied boat. entering Kingstown Harbour, reported that she had spotted a submarine operat ing off Ireland's Eye at 12 noon. As all our craft had been back at their base by 11:30, an elaborate search was instigated. Not for hours afterwards was it realised. that the 12 noon reported for the suspect- ed submarine meant 12 noon Greenwich time, while our inshore, craft were work- ing on British summer time, by which 11 a. meant the Greenwich noon. Con- sequently the British submarine was em ployed for a fruitless afternoon, in chasing ber own tail.
PATOMIME DITTIES. According to the beat authorities, the comic song will reign supreme. in the pantomimes, which have already become widely popular Many of the examples will be wildly received, and some of the novelties, such as a lisping song, are likely to catch on. Stuttering songs, of which
K-K-Katy
is a devastating specimen. have already a vogue, and it is feared that this new fashion will develop until wa have to listen to ditties executed by por-. sous supposed to be suffering from per forated palates and other vocal deformi-, ties. Perhaps an amateur's musical effort. which is based on the story of a child who saw a pig scratching itself against apons and asked, "Why the pig waa sharpening its noho
"would be accept
ablo to the impresarios. The child, who is provided with a lisp, puts the question to various relations, each of whom is troubled by some impediment to clear speech, yet chants an explanation The revival of the sheer-comic will have ond welcome result in the coming pantomime season. The Tenessee brand of American netion song will no longer vex us with its elaborate, inanities, for it will only survive in riotous parodies, such as Harry Weldon's "I'm going back back, back to Alabam "
