By the Associated Press. LONDON, February 29.—The House of Commons today passed the second reading of the bill extending the franchise to all women at the age of twenty-one. The vote was 288 to 72. Under the present law, limiting the franchise to women of thirty or over, the electorate numbers about 21,000, 000, of whom about 8,000,000 are wom- en. It is figured that 5,000,000 will be added by the adoption of the bill, making 13,000,000 voters of each sex. The laborites favor the measure, as do a great number of liberals, whose election manifestos declared in favor of treating_women on equality with men. Ex-Premier Asquith, liberal leader, who was formerly an unbend- ing opponent of woman suffrage in any form, but who changed his views during the war, has pronounced in favor of the present proposal. The conservatives mostly oppose it. The government Is understood to have assured its supporters that it will not treat the bill as a ministerial measure, but will give it its blessing and leave it to the free decision of the house. The woman members of parllament are divided on the bill. Mi thea Jewson, labor member wich, in her maiden speech, seconded the measure, urging the house of commons to follow in the footsteps of the British overseas possessions, such as Canada and New Zealand, and even Some of the eastern territories, such as Madras, Bombay and Burma, in glving an équal franchise to women.

The study of Brussels dialect, fast dying out, s recelving attention, and moving’ pictures and popular songs to preserve character- istic conventions of the country will be attempted. re taken by the second woman speaker, the Duchess of Atholl, conservative. She declared against granting the ballot to young women when they reached the age of twenty-one be- ‘ause she sald such an extension of Jhe franchise at the present time would give the woman voters a ma- Jority over the men and would appear to be an attempt by the women to Mrs. Margaret Wintringham, lal disagreed with her cons ter in the view that would be taking ad men.
