Special Diepatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 8.—Forest fire patrols are to begin their two- month Autumn watch over Maryland's 2,228,000 acres of forest lands Mon- day, it was announced today by F. W. Besley, State forester. A detachment of 20 division wardens, rangers and “smoke chasers” will join the 350 county wardens in main- taining a constant lookout for out- breaks of fire in wooded areas through- out the State Monday and continue onldduly until December 1, Mr. Besley said.

Charaoui Pasha Tells of Newly Won Freedom in Land of Pharaohs. Struggle Began With Dis- carding of Veil by Her- self and Daughter. fime. Hoda Charaoui Pasha, mother of Mme. Samy Pasha, wife of the Minister of Egypt, gave an interesting account of the progress of feminism and nationalism in ypt during the past eight years at a conference with leaders of the National Woman's pParty Thursday afternoon in the gurden of the clubhouse on Capitol Hiil. Mme, Charaoul, who is president of the Egyptian Feminist Union, the first suftrage organization established in i9gypt, as well as a member of the international advisory council of the Woman's Party, is recognized as the leading feminist of her country. It was she and her daughter, Mme. Samy, who first removed their veils, defying tradition to free the women of the country from one of the out- ward signs of social restrictions with which custom had shackled them since the da of Mohammed. Start Anti-Veil Crusade. Returning from a meeting of the In- ternatienal Suffraze Allilance in Rome in 1923, Mme, Charaoui confided to her ighter that she thought vells quite unnecessary. The daughter agreed, and they forthwith uncovered their faces and, with rare courage, appeared thus in public, braving the possible criticism and ‘censure of the ‘old school.” Mme, Charaoul, being a widow, realized that she was open to even more scvere criticism than her daugh- ter. “You go first,” she directed, on the occasion, “for I will have to bear my lot alone, if we shock the world, while you have a husband—and he Is very broad-minded.” So they set forth, Mme. Samy leading the W To their joy the women were quick to follow their lead, and now no woman feels the need of a veil when dressing for the street in Egypt. “This imply one of the very little things indicative of the progress which has been made in the past eight vears,” said Mme, Charaoui. “Just to think, before the war, women rarely appeared on our streets at all—then only when accompanied Dby their husbands or members of their family—and most carefully veiled. Now we participate in the political demonstrations as_freely as do the men, and wear the same sort of clothes you see me wearing now. Nationalism and Feminism. “Nationalism has gone hand in hand with feminism in Egypt,” said Mme. Charaoui. “Following the war, many changes were made in our form of government, and as the movement for more progressive laws grew—for a truly representative government— so did the sentiment for feminism thrive. At the time that my organ- ization was formed women had few rights and practically no oportunity for education. We have had to work slowly, primarily because of this lack of education. Our women are mnot even yet fitted for the full duties of citizenship—that is why we are not vet asking for the vote. This will come. Other matters are of greater importance now. “Our first plea was for equal edu- cational opportunities for women and proper enforcement of marriage laws. Today we have won the first point without qualifications and have the promise of the government for en- forcement of laws concerning mar- riage, many of which have been on the books for years, but ignored. “Wo have schools for girls all over Egypt now. We have 500 new schools, some of them co-educational and many of them exclusively for girls, opening this year. We have university courses for women—five of our girls were sent by the government to Iurope this Fall to complete their education as doctors and lawyers—this much we o accomplished toward the eman- wion of women in Egypt. “Our girls need not be married be- foro they are 16 now, thanks to a law promised the women by the govern- ment recently. “Having gained these two points, we now are working on four others, embodied in a bill which is being urged by the women. These points are: First, enforcement of laws prohibit- ing polygamy (which is not practiced generally now as it was formerly): second, equal divorce laws; third, on- forcement of the obligations of hus- band as well as wife undertaken in the marriage contract in the event of divorce, and, fourth, equal guardian- ship of children in the case of divorce, until a boy has reached his majcrity and until a girl is married. Formerly the wife, separated from her husband, was permitted guardianship over her G. 0. P. WOMEN TO MEET. Representative Yates to Address Montgomery Federation. Special Dispatch to The Star.
