WOMEN. MOTOR-CYCLISTS.
RECOGNITION OF THEIR SKILL.
GERMAN DECISION, The German motor-cycling authorities nolified the Auto-Cycle Unica.
that they intended to include women riders in their teams for the Six Days' Inter- pational Trial which started from Bux- ten on August 16th
This is the first time that any women other than English have taken part in an important international event. The announcement was received with some surprise, as motor-eycling among women is not popular on the Continent.
The Auto-Cycle Union is also paying a compliment to women riders It decided, for the time in the history of this trial, to nominate a team of English. women for the contest for the Inter- national Vase-a prise for the team that gives the best performance during the six days.
Countries are allowed to enter any number of teams of three riders, but they must be mounted, on machines construct- ed in their own country. England, Ger many, and Holland are all entering several teams for this prize.
ENGLISHWOMEN'S TEAM. The team of Englishwomen was to be selected from Miss Cottle, Miss Ball Miss Foley, Miss Debenham and her sister, and Miss Bedlington.
Miss Bedlington, was is a new-comer to important trials, is a district. nurse at Durham. In the course of her duties she rides thousands of miles on her machine during a year. She has won a number of gold medals in local, trials.
Au official of the Auto-Cycle Union stated:
The reason we are choosing a woman's team is because in recent trials women have proved themselves capable of riding on level terms with men. They
can not only handle their machines with skill and perform with credit on the stiffest test bills, but they also make light of the physical strain of six days' baad motor-cycling over difficult

Neither proft-sharing nor emigration, continued Mr. Wheatley, would provide a remedy for the present,industrial trouble. Nor could he see, to be quite frank, how nationalisation, one by one at long in- tervals of our principal industries, was in itselfin solution of our problems. or even the frst step towards a solution.
Foreign Trade Subsidy.
The great problem as the moment was of wealth. We had now reached the stage not the production, but the distribution
where it was essential to the salvation of
the country that we should immediately. abolish poverty.
National control of the product was more important than control of produe

We had got to get rid of the old Liberal ideas of Free Trade and trade generally.
