WOMEN'S PROBLEMS.
In addressing the meeting of delegates to the women's division of the Farmers' Union, Mrs. C. C. Jackson, Dominion president, said that great strides had been made by the women's division. Last year over 100 branclut; had been formed, and new branches were being set up each day. Quite a number of projects had been "put in hand, and every one of them was thriving. In the South Island the women had taken up the idea of open markets wholeheartedly, and were making a greater success of it than the NorthIsland were. The speaker went on ti say that the attitude of the division to national questions had been somewhat misunderstood. One of their activities had been in relation to the . Mental Defectives Bill. The division was striving to liavo two clauses which had br>en cut out of the bill reinstated, and they were tlio two main clauses. They had the support of the New Zealand division of the British Medical Association, and very soon they would have a qualified woman speaker touring the Dominion to' try and gain public support. The Speaker also referred to the work of the division in regard to supporting the work of the League of Nations, to illustrate the attitude of the division toward national questions.
