LONDON, March 17th. This week the House of Commons gave a second reading to the Race course Betting Bill introduced by Major Glyn as a private member's measure to legalise the Totalisator. The Government had announced that they would leave the Bill to a free vote of the House, and then if sufficient support were forthcom ing facilities would be given for its progress towards the Statute Book. But while the Goverment are pros fessedly friendly, it was disclosed in the course of debate that the Cabinet are at sixes and sevens over the matter. Two Ministers are, how. ever, in favour of the "Tote," Mr. Churchill and Me, Guinness.

That question has given rise to controversy in Belgium, and tas lately become so acute that the Minister of Labour at the" request: of the International Labour Bureau. has made an exhaustive inquiry into the subject. The artificial silk works at Tubize were inspected by a Belgian Government medical in- spectar, the resident doctor of the works, and an analytical chemist.

In the course of the investigation 700 worker-men, women, and gitis were examined, and it was found that health conditions », were no worse than in many othervinds | tries.

Votes For Women.

A minority. Nobody pretends that this is a popular measure, at least putside the ranks of the out-and-out supporters of votes for women; cer- tainly men in general are not eager to find themselves in the position of being out voted at elections, which would be the case if all women chose

Women are at last within measur able distance of getting the full franchise rights the right to vote at 21 on an equality with men. The Government Bill introduced this week will place an additional five If the Bill becomes law- and the million and quarter women on the Totalisator is set up on all the race-registers. The result will be to put courses of the country, which, of the male voters of the country in course, is the idea, the control of racecourse betting will pass into the hands of the Jockey Club and the National Buat Committee. These two bodies have agreed to set up a Council which shall have fell control over all betting on the rare- course either by machine or book maker. The Council is to consist of, seven members on the following representative basis: A chairman of proved experience in france and racing who will be paid a salary big enough to make it & whole time position; three independente finan ciers also thoroughly acquainted with racing and racing finance; ene representative each of the Jockey Club and the Racecourse, Owners' Association.
