WOMEN AT WORK.
In Iceland, there are four women candidates for the Upper House. They are placed upon a non-partisan woman's list, as this is the only way to get women elected. Miss Mary J. Simpson has been appointed Clerk in charge of the Bills of the U.S.A- Senate. This position is no sinecure, for they introduced more Bills in one session than the number passed in the last 12 months by every civilised nation. Turkey has a woman Mayor who for many years has been unanimouslyelected by the Village of Germat. She can neither read nor write, but she knows all the laws of the village by heart. She is a widow, over 60 years of age, and with her daughter-in-law and 2 grand daughters, does all the work on the farm, which is their only means of livelihood.
