The commission said that since 1945, when the. U.N.

charter was formed, 65 countries have "confirmed, granted or extended full or limited political rights to women." About half, the commission explained, already had taken some action on women's suffrage prior to adoption of the charter.

Then, too often his muscles will begin to twitch and his teeth to chatter.

He has contracted dis temper's worst sequel, namely chorea. Send at once for the ery best ve: you can find, put the case in his hands and obey his orders Even then, the chance for recovery is very slight But the chances at greater today than even ten yeais ago, thanks to new medicines. BRING 'EM BACK Presented in the pnblic interest by AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF MICHIGAN Color Blind I have always doubted the scientific theory that dogs are colorblind and that they see all the world as black-and-white-and-giay like a photograph. I believe that dogs can tell one color from an other as readily as you or I Sim pie experiments of my own have led to this belief, though some people don't agree with me. And here is one more of many instances which seem to prove I am correct According to Mrs F.

Remont of Los Angeles, her dachshund, Mitzi, had a very keen sense color For instance, the dog would not willingly ride in any cab whicn was not yellow She backed away in disgust from vehicles of any other hue and was especially repelled by. the sight of a red cab Mrs. Remont carried the tests still further She gave Mitzi several toy balloons, most of them yellow The dachshund played gaily wih all of them Then a red balloon was added to the collection Mitzi backed away from it, as if terrified Nothing would induce net- to touch it or to go near it To me that is pretty conclus've proof that all dogs do not see the world as if it were of a photograph. Mitzi had a very clear knowledge of red and yellow Audrey Meadows Marries HONOLULU (UPD Actress Audrey Meadows and Continental Airlines President Robert F.
