"You used to suy Wagner was a wonderful musician." Setting the Pace in England. "Women are hurrying up the pace of men workers," says Mrs. Pankâ€" hurst. ‘‘The challenge of 1,413,000 women working beside the men made England wake up. When women started out to work after they learned the tricks of trade they began to turn out more work in far less time than men were doing it. Of course, when they began setting a new pace for their output the men were borrifed. They begged the women to go slower. "‘We came to work because we must win the war,‘ was the only anâ€" swer the women gave them. ‘Nothing clse countsâ€" not even the timeâ€"honorâ€" ed rules of your trade unions ‘ "It was too much. The trade union laws began to reflect the nervousness of the men. They started to block the women and slow up their work. But the women were ready for the emergency. They had been warned that this might happen. This time their answer to the unions boded ill for the nation. Cfiango your trade union laws and take us in or we will turn miliâ€" tant again.‘ * England was fghting for her life. She needed the women and the woâ€" nren wanted to stay.

In a match each team will be allowed substitutes to be used at any time during the game, and in addition a substitute goa keeper. The substitutions to be made without interruption of play and only six men of a team to be alâ€" Icwed on the ice at one time. The periods were not changed, the Manitoba body favoring the halfâ€" hour system, also the residence rule, the latter being discussed for a while with a view to favoring returned solâ€" diers.
