...THE LONGER SKIRTS..

SETRACK TO FEMINIST

MOVEMENT. !.

The Summer School of the Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship last month discussed the new fashion of longer dresses for women and decided by a large majority that the change of fashion is a setback to the feminist movement." Mra. Corbett, Ashby, who moved the resolution, said she was opposed to the new fashion because she thought that for ordinary life long dressses were ugly and also that they were a handicap to health. "It is said, that mea like the new dresses, but, then, men will always accept the fashion of the day and will think women beautiful in what ever they wear." She thought it a pity that women, just for the sake of fashion, should be stamp ed into wearing something totally unsuitable from most points of view. I think we should try to keep our frocks below our knees but well above our ankles," she added.

Miss Marjoria Green, opposing," said that no one could seriously argue that a change of fashion could influence such a great thing as the feminist movement. They were not going back to the old crinoline, bustle, or whalebone days,

DOG'S HEROISM.

ATTEMPT TO SAVE Á DROWN- ING MAN.

The story of the gallant efforts of a Newfoundland dog to rescue member of the crew, who had fallen overboard, was related when the French steam trawler" Gria Nez arrived at Fleetwood last month.

The trawlor left Boulogns for the Well Scottish fishing grounds. One Bunday afternoon one of the cray saw the dog in the sea 200 yards from the trawler. The cry

CALL TO YOUTH,

FRENCH IDEAS AND A *** MOVE-ON "''NEEDED.

An appeal for more young people to take up local government work was made by Miss Ido Samuel te cently. She was speaking in London at the Summer School of the National Union of Societies for Equa! Citizenship. She said:

There is an idea that all local government work should be done by old man. When you get old women working with them it is very diflicult to get a move on. attitude among them is that what was good enough for their fathers is good onough for them.

The

That is why it would be a good thing if we could get more young people coming into the work of local government, not with the idea of reforming the world in a day but with the determination to get things done. Their fresh ideas aro needed."

Mrs. E. M. Hubback said that maternal mortality was one of the gravest problems the women of Eng- land had to face.

Esfarming the Doctors, :

It appears to be abundantly true that there are a large number of doctors who are not doing their work adequately in maternity cases. The profession itself is realising it, and is perfectly well aware that re form is needed"

Mrs, Shilston Watkins urged that the thedical profession should be made to realise that it should set aside specialists for maternity 'work just as they had specialists for eyes, nose or throat 'cases.
