WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
· 200: FAMOUS MEN REPLY.
A remarkable revelation of the religious beliefs of many eminent scientists has been obtained by the Christian Evidence Society,
Aurora (linola), Feg. 29. This is the first city in the world to be ruled entirely by women.
In honour of Leap Year Day the City Fathers to-day gallantly abdicated in favour of 16 bachelor This has been done by sending girls, while 100 men in executive a questionaire to all the Fellows of positions as bank prealdonts, shop the Royal Society, and the results managers, hotel chiefs and newa- obtained from 200 dofinite replies paper editors aleo gave up their are summarised in the following chairs to women.

Homes were deserted for offices, typista took over the roll-top desks, demure maidens wrinkled their brows aver efficiency charts and pressed buzzers.
Male leaders of the community who planned this change said they nicant. It as a recognition of the privileges of the other sex.
It was suggested, however, that this was an artful device to keep bachelor girls' minds off proposals.
By drafting them into reapon- sible jobs on Leap Year Day they kept them tou busy to track down victima!
Twenty girls assumed duties as traffic

FOUR BISHOPS ON A

The Archbishope of Canterbury and York have appointed a com- mission of bishops, olergy and Inity-of whom four are womon- to consider the Ministries of Wo-

Bishop of Carlisle (chairman); Bishops of Rochester, Blackburn
and Middleton;
Dr. W. R. Matthews; Archdeacon of Auckland (Dr. A.'
E. J. Rawlinson); Canon L. W. Grented (Oriel Pro- .fessor of the Philosophy of
Religion, Oxford);
Canon J, K. Mozley;
Mr. Cyril Balloy (Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford);
Deaconess Wordsworth: Lady Hoskyns;
Miss Christine Burrows, and Miss Dorothy Swayne.
Anglican opinion on the Ministry of Women is at present divided, and the clergy are against any sugges tion of their receiving ordination. The Lambeth Conference of 1920 Inid its plans for the restoration of the Order of Deaconesses, but the Lambeth Conference of 1930 had to confean that those hopes "had been but meagrely fulfilled."
