"BACK HOME" HAS CHANGED A BIT IN LAST 20 YEARS Toronto, Ont., April 23.--A cor- respondent of the Globe's women's page writes: Going "back home" with my lit- tle ones two years ago, what a ¢hange there was from the prairies of 20 years ago. Then, the family drove to the homestead in a wagon, a distance of 20 miles from town, over muskeg, badger holes, through creeks and sloughs, until we at last arrived. All that mark- ed our land of 150 .acres were four holes about two feet across and one foot in depth, with a stake in the centre, at each of the four corners. My mother had five chil- dren, the youngest a year old, and coming from a town in England, I know now that she was in terror of the dangers of the unknown wilds. Our last neighbor was five miles away and our only shelter was two tents. An early snowfall caught us still in the tents, with a shack nearing completion. I re- member with what delight we mov- ed into this 12 by 16 house, made of one ply of clapboards covered with tar paper. The next spring when things began to thaw mother set me to work with hammer and chisel to chip the ice off the wall behind the beds, where the moist warm air had frozen all winter. Now what a difference there is. The new railroad is there. Towns have sprung up all along the line, new settlers have come in and everything changes so quickly that I rubbed my eyes to make sure it was the same place. There is a fascination about the West that one never loses. I have travelled all day there through districts peopled by Europeans--Russians, Bukow- inians, Serbians, etc., where they live in one half of the house and the cattle in the other half. It is partitioned, of course. Their hous- es are thatched, and they use an outside clay oven for bread baking, which is some of the whitest I have ever seen. Ybu can imagine the joy to drive up to a Canadian school in these districts and talk with an English-speaking person. The children are learning the lan- guage as fast as they can and take home the English methods they have seen the teacher use in the little shack beside the school.

Sydney Concluding Periodical Health Enforcement Survey Sydney, Australia, April 23.-- Sydney is concluding one of its pe- riodical health gestures. They are unique in many ways. Cynical vis- itors compare them for usefulness to the dances in which certain Af- rican tribes engage with the object of banning pestilence. For a week or more inspectors in plain clothes were stationed at a strategic point about the city with instructions to summons anyone who dropped an obsolete tram transfer, match, cigarette packets or what not. The newspapers were asked to state that match dropping would be regarded as particularly objectionable. Scores of offenders have been identified and the first batch has already appeared in court. It is expected that the bench will be busy with cases for several weeks. The health campaigns : are an outgrowth of the extremely drastic health laws passed some years ago by the New South Wales govern- ment as a result of the threat of bubonic plague. At that time whole blocks of buildings were burned down and large hotels quarantined. But this effort seems to have ex- hausted the capacity of the authori- ties for reform and they have been a tired lot ever since, It is some- times said that Sydney has never been 80 clean as {it was when plague still stalked through the streets, and gloomy prognostica- tions are made that it will never be so clean again. DANISH LABORITES APPEAL TO WOMEN Party Leaders Promise To- tal Disarmament if Re- turned to Power Copenhagen, April 23. -- The Danish Labor Party has gone di- rect to the mothers in its appeal for votes in the April 24 general election, pledging itself to com- pete disarmament if given its first Government.

IN THE YEAR 1849 Montreal, Que., April 23.--An- other mystery is solved. Out of the furore caused by the statement made by Hon. Ernest Lapointe, do- minion y eter of justice, on Oct. 31 last, that women of Quebec once voted, has come a body of fact on the history of women suffrage in this province in the past. Women did vote in the province of Quebec 'las early as 1809, and as late as 1830. The law then did not spe- in the Election Act of 1849 women were definitely denied the exer- cise of the franchise. This was shown in the prize-winning essays of Miss Dorothy A. Heneker and Miss Azilda Dumais, between whom the prize of $100 in gold offerea by the Canadian Alliance for Wo- men's Vote in Quebec was divided; these contestants being tied for Test place by decision of the judg- SAYS BRITAIN HUST MAKE NEXT MOVE Soviet Paper Comments on Re-opening of Rela- tions Moscow, April 23. -- The new move in any campaign to re-estab- the Soviet Union must come from London, newspaper Izvestia said yesterday in commenting on the early conclusion of the visit to Moscow of the British trade dele- gation.

"The solution of questions of further trade develop- ment is now fully dependent upon the position the Government takes on the question of resumption of normal diplomatic relations." The newspaper warned tha® "business cannot develop normally when it is dependent upon Bri- tain's inter-party struggles.
