WOMEN IN EFi By the Associgted y . HAIFA, Palesting, Decenber 30. ~The movement for the' emanci- pation of the women of Palestine from their soclal. :yoke has just received a new jmpetus by an ex- hibition of woman's handicraft Peid bere, with results far greater than sny hoped for by its most ardent supporters. The idea of women in industry is a new one in this land. Before the great war woman was consid- ered a burden. Her place was the Jaillike home from the confine- ment of which she would dare leave only by special permission from her lord and master. the hus- band. This was especially true among the more ignorant of the Mohammedans who believed that woman had neither brains nor soul and must be treated as an animal. The fact that she was bought and sold instead of being married for Jove added great strength to that belief. Today all this {s changed. Women are not only demanding., but are also receiving, equal rights in the home. To the utter consternation of men, they have thrown to the winds custom and tradition, and have embarked upon fields tabooed a few years ago. They have defi- nitely entered industry, and are, as & rorutt, relleved, in part. of the economic dependence which kept them subjugated for centuries. First Exhibition of Kind. The exhibition, which was the first of its kind in Palestine, was opened by the high commissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel. In the colrse of his speech he praised the wom- en of Palestine for the part they F PALESTINE PROGRESS RT TO THROW OFF YOKE are playing in the upbuilding of the country. The exhlhlu which were all handmade, consisted chiefly of pottery. lace and embroidery. ket making was perhaps the mult interesting feature of the display. It is believed that with advertising markets could be found and a great demand created for some of the things which the country women in Palestine are capable of making. DESCRIBES NEW PLANET. Dr. Hartmann’s Dlséovary May Be Seen in 1923. BUENOS AIRES, January 26.—Dr. Hartmann, director of the La Plata roper | observatory, says that the orbit of the little planet he discovered on November 4 in the constellation of Cetus lies be- tween the orbits of the planets:Jupiter and Mars. The orbit is elliptical and is covered in flve years and seven months. z!" has the considerable eccentricity of .372. As the plane of the orbit is very in- clined in regard to the earth's equator, the new planet can approach the poles closer than most of the other planets. The little world may be observed from the end of this year until the fall of 1923 fn a very northern position, most favorable for observations from the northern hemisphere. The dlameter of the globe is estimated at barely twenty-five kilometers (about fifteen and one-half miles), as its, bril- liancy taken at the last observation ap- peared to be of the fiftegnth magnitude. ———— Fifty-five million_dollars is the esti- mated total spent by American women every vear for powdering and beautify- ing thelr faces.
