8000 Women Debaters. Nearly 8000 women from villages throughout England gathered in the Royal Albert Hall, London, recently to discuss among other things, film con sorship, disarmament and agriculture (states the Daily Mail). They were members of the 5000 Women’s Institutes of England and Wales, and many of them went to London for the first time in their lives, to attend the annual meeting. The meeting lasted only one day, and many women travelled all night to arrive in London in the morning. A special train from Yorkshire took 200 delegates, who returned the same evening.
