Miss Laura Berrien urged the President to prevent the United States from becoming a party to such a treaty, and' about an hour and a half before the vote was taken at the Hague, Mr. Miller, Chief of the United States Delegation was instructed by the Department of State, to vote against the entire nationality convention because of its discrimination against women, and An ensemble of English fabric, wltfc a blouse of flgnred crepe chine.

The Penguins presented by the Cheektowaga branch of the Martha Washington Club under the direction of Mrs. John Boetling, greatly amused the house. The two acrobats' Miss -Louisa Long and Miss Evelyn Passamore almost made one think the costumes had given the gift of flight to mortals. Miss Louise Schendler and Miss Margaret Keh-rer "sang, and the other penguins gravely, entertainingly, flapped and danced. Mrs.

N.t the Hague Conference SICKMON nection with members of the Nat ionality Committee of the Inter-American Commission, prepared a manuscript, soon to be published, concerning which Dr. James Brown Scott, President of the American Institute of. Interna tional law, said the following: "This work required the most patient and difficult investigation of the nationality laws of 84 countries, many of them remote and little known, and most of them in strange languages, I have had occasion to study the results of this research, and to compare the reports with the original laws, and I think the women are far too modest in what they claim for their accomplishment. This work is stupendous incredible! I have never seen a piece of work done by men which could equal it. It ought to be used as- a text book by every university, every em bassy, every ministry and every consulate in the world." Is Presented.

Therefore, when the Council of the League of Nations voted to hold the first World Conference on the Codification of Internation al Law at the Hague on March 13th, 1930, to take up the follow ing subjects: first, Nationality; second, Territorial Waters; and third, Responsibilty of States' for damages done in their territory to the persons or properties of for-. eigners; the Inter-Amrican Com mission of Women, felt that their effort to improve the status of women in the Americas, was to see to it that only a progressive code for women should be enacted at the International Conference. They therefore, interested many women's organizations as possible in the question of women's citizenship, among them the Inter national Federation of University Women, the Confederation of Zonta Clubs, the National Association of Women Lawyers, and others. In response to the request of many organizations for women representatives at the ference President Hoover appointed Ruth B. Shipley, Chief of the Passport Bureau, as a member of the Delegation to the Conference at the Hague, and Dr.

Emma Wold, an authority on laws pertaining to women, aa technical ad visor. It was their hope that the following sentence will be inserted in the Code to be drawn up at this time: "The contracting parties agree that frou the going into effect of this Treaty there shall be no dis tinction based on sex in the law and practice of nations relating to Nationality." Senor Miguel Cruclaga, a Chil ean representative, has been! a warm supporter of this proposi tion, but unfortunately, there are not enough among the delegates aa liberal minded as the representa tive from Chile, and it is feared that it will be impossible to get a major ity to put nationality on a aex basis, To prevent the enactment of re-togressive measures into Internat ional Law, the Inter American Commission of Women has sent out an S. O. S. to beseech our governments, and fortunately for us our President is in sympathy with onr request for equality, to instruct our delegates to defer the matter of nationality to a future conference, believing that it is better to have no provisions for the Code, than to accept only those provisions acceptable to the backward countries.

In the words. tf Miss Stevens, "The women of the Western Hemisphere demand equality or nothing." Several Senators, headed by Senator Borah, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, rallied to the support of the women and announced that they would refuse to ratify a code containing sex discriminations. Representative Cable, author of the Married Women's Nationality Act and Scott, called on President Hoover in op position to discriminatory enact ments. Miss Maud Younger and ENGRAVING CO.1 of Quality'" ST BUFFALO HalrtonM Ztno Klrhlngt Color FUlw By MAY There Is a group of women in the United States of America-brilliant, earnest, sincere, well-informed and self sacrificing a group of practical idealists If such an apparently contradictory char acterization may be used, which for years has been concentrating on obtaining equal rights for women. These all of whom, if working for compensation, would be high, salaried women, are either contributing their services or working, for very meager salaries in the cause of the advancement of women.

They are organized under the name of the National Women's Party and maintain headquarters in Washington, D. C. where they can keep in constant touch with legislation affecting women of the United States. These women are women of broad interests and education, but are directing their energy mainly to the emancipation of women on the theory that "What Is everybody's business Is nobody's busi ness" and that effective work will result quickly and economically only from organized effort and intelligent, -courageous leadership. From this group came the women who dared to face imprisonment before the passage of the 19th amendment in order to ob tain political equality for women.

Under the leadership of Alice Paul, the lovely, low-voiced Quaker scholar, following in the footsteps of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant suffragist of England, to whose memory the British nation as a whole on March 6th, 1930, paid tribute at the unveiling of her statue given to England by the women of the world, this group in the face of the ridicule dared to maintain that democracy as well as charity begins at home. Ask Complete Equality After the passage of the nineteenth amendment, by a process of checking and double checking, in a manner somewhat more accurate than that employed by Amos and Andy, namely a compilation of the laws of the various states of the "United States of America, by Burnita Shelton Mat thews, a lawyer member of the National Women's Party, it was discovered that the gaining of po litical equality was the acquisition of but a small portion of the pro gram set forth at Seneca Falls in 1848 by Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and the other pioneers, and the National Women's Party then set out to break down the remaining barriers to complete equality be tween the sexes. In furtherance of this determ ination, Doris Stevens Jane 'Norman Smith went to Havana, Cuba, during the 6th Pan Amer ican Congress, and thanks to the cooperation and hospitality of Cuban officials, were given the priv ilege of the floor to present a request for participation by women at future conferences, to the end that they may have some voice in formulating treaties to regulate the conditions under which they are to Doris Stevens made a stirring speech which resulted on Feb.

18th, 1928, in a provision for an Inter-American Commission of women to study laws of the Americas relating to women and to report at the next Pan American Congress. Doris Stevens was made chairman of the Commission, which is composed of women from South and Central American countries, and which has since been making a study of the laws having to do with women in the various countries. From this study, it was discovered that the legal status of women has almost as many variations as there are gov ernments, and these students of the law became more and mora con vinced that the logical thing to do was to work for one code of laws, applicable to -dulU, men and wo men alike, and to do away as far as possible, with the old practice of evoling one set of laws for men and an entirely different set for women.

The vote, however, stood 40 to one, with the United States of America alone holding out for complete equality between the sexes.

As a result, a nationality convention was adopted on April 10th, 1930, which constitutes the first article of a proposed World Code of Law and which eon-tains 17 sections, of which a majority discriminate against women.
