CONFERENCE Tlu> signiHcancc of the Pan-Pacinc Women's Conference, it <t'(.!ms to us, is not so much whether or no it may be (i) accomplish anything of practioal value as the fact of 'tracluallv having come together. Here "are women from a \mnlu'r of countries and of several races assembled to discuss Ih )S(' micstions which' are most troubling the world, the sub- i.t of'will*, of course, being well to the forefront in view of u tindoiihted imminence at the present time. It lias been held as axiomatic that the entrance of women inio L̂ n'Vrnhient is a sure sign of the decadence of, a race. This may and may not be true, but' the general invasion ;by womcii of the various .walks.of life rendered: it ineyitable. So far as government is concerned, it iS'<doubtful whether <V>nrdc sulfrage has up to the present made any appreciable lilTcrciico beyond increasing the vote tally. WOmen generally ■ivv not iieen long enough out of the home to develop opinions ' f their own on public matters, most of them voting the same viv 'is the men of the family, if they exercise the franchise •it'ill 'Many men object to women being given'the vote, and •1 si ill greater number refuse"'to support the candidature of. ■ '„iv woman seeking office. Yet these objectors will have to confess that they could-not do worse with their votes than, the men "and, when not fully informed, on the issues at stakO, they at least have the^serise to keep their ignorance to them­ selves • ■ . ■ Doubtless'with the years, they will acquire more inde- nendence of thought,, and will then become from their numbers • alone apart from all other, considerations a force whose power will have to be reckoned with. One of the many indications*^ t hat they are already on the march is this - Pan-Pacific Con- , fetence. However, in .'this connection it should be remembered that exclusive , of those who have actually ruled,-many have for centuries been the power behind the throne, notably with the Fi ench and British. As Kipling has it, ."Make your peace with the women *. And the tnen will make you L. 0." - Their general entry into the professional and commercial fields is quite another matter. Their impact. there has been vast and far-reaching in its results. Few would dispute, for instance, that it - has largely increased unemployment' ■ among;men; as it will have to be admitted that more and more they are invading tho§e:fields..of .endeavour which were before ' exclusively maiits^ For it is chiefly in those occupations^de- -manding' hard advantage, and the machine is gradually reducing the number" of thes£ndaydb.v::day-.--- - "" But-let us not forger IMPORTANT LIBERAL MEETING MUNICIPALITY LEASE » P.G.E, TRACKS A general meeting,.of the West Vancouver Liberal Association will be held at 8 p.nt. next l\jes- day, July 27th, in Dundarave Hall.

THE WHY OF LOST POWER CORRESPONDENCE Why the West Vancouver Regatta Has Been Called Off. This note is written in, answer • to the request of many , people, who have called at „my home to ask about the swimming this' year.' Swimming, like any other • branch of organized sport,' is conducted under certain laws. In so far as swimming is' concerned, the laws are pretty well stand- Frequent'cause of an automo­ bile losing its maxinvum power vvas revealed recently by Hector Rabezzana, p^*ominent engineer,* who has just completed a new study of; ignition phenomena. "After a few hundred miles 'of alternately slow and fast driv­ ing, deposits from combustion gases begin to form a coating on the lower end of the spark plug insulator," Rabezzana said. "This coating is responsible for the loss of maximum engine power, and for higher gasoline consumption. It can be .remedied by having spark plugs cleaned at intervals of 3,000 to 4,000 miles." ■ Those interested in swimming nnd diving, either beginners or ndvnnced, are asked to phone Molly Edwards, West 208-X.
