One of the outstanding obstacles to Indian national development is the glaring disparity between the educational progress of the two sexes. At the last census of the In- dian Empire of fully-grown males 171 in each thousand were able to read and write in their vernaculars, as compared with only 20 women. In the last ten years the propor- tion of male scholars under in- struction in British India has grown from 4.7 to 6.5 per cent. of the made population, while the female advances has been only from 0.9 to 1.3 per cent. Lady Irwin is president of the All-India Women's Congrence on Educational Reform. It is compos- ed of delegates from conferences previously held in all the Provine- es and many Indian States. A maximum of ten delegates is allow- ed from each constituent confer- ence, and the number of delegates at the second session held at Delhi last February was more than 200. All the ordinary sessions were held in purdah, but the opening cere- mony, when the chairman of the conference, the Dowager Begum! of Bhopal, introduced Lady Trwin who gave an address, was publie, special arranzements heing made for such women as could not break purdah. Subsequently, a dep- utation waited on the Viceroy, and afterwards on the leadérs of the various parties of the Indian Legls- lature, to urge support of a private member's Bill to raise substantially the minimum age for marriage. The next annual conference will he at Patna, and in preparation for it Provincial and Indian State con- stituent conferences have been ar- ranged.

None of the mariners Imperilled by the storm had a more harrow- ing experience than the crew of the small Glasgow cargo steamer, St. Brendon. Their vessel was wrecked on a reef, They took to the hoats and were tossed for hours in the angry waters before being rescued by a trawler which landed them at Tobermory. A similar experience fell to the Iot of the men on the Irish Trawler, William Castle. The boat was blown on the rocks of the Wigtonshire coast. One of the crew was swept into the sea and drowned.

Police of Crossing Maze of Steel at Niagara Falls Lorain, O., Oct. 24--United Stat- es immigration officers are holding for deportation George Cervemeck, 27 years old, a native of Czechoslo- vakla, while investigating the activ- ities of a ring of alien smugglers that brought Cervemeck and five other men from Canada into this country over the understructure of the International Bridge at Niag- ara Falls. Cerveneck fell into the hands of the government recently after be- ing in this country 14 months. His illegal entry might have escaped attention had he not talked to some of his fellow workmen in this city about the hazardous adventure of his entry; a method that tries the nerves of the most daring, He became acquainted with a band of alien smugglers. Five oth- er aliens from different parts of Europe were in the little group that listened to the proposition of the smugglers. First the men would pay $50 to the smugglers. Then, if they should be successful in their attempt to enter the United States, the aliens would pay $75 more. And they would enter the coun- try by climbing along the under- structure of the great international bridge with the black and yawning waters of the rapids 200 feet below them. The little band was nonplus- ed for a time, But still, they rea- soned, the goal seemed worthy of the risk, and they agreed. Silently, and under the cover of night, they followed the leader of the smuggling band, From rocky precipice of the Canadian side of the river they climbed out into the maze of steel girders and struts that support the mighty span, and start- ed on one of the most perilous of journeys.
