DECLINE OF THE HOUSEWIFE.
Mime. SchmahI Predicts the Disap- pearance of the Dinner.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
 Mime. Henri Schmahl is an Enslishwo- man by birth, who. since her marriage to Frenchman, has devoted all her time and energies to the furtherance of wo- mans rights generally in France, and in particular to obtaining to the reform of the Napoleonic Code on lines long since adopted in England. One of her most notable achievements has been to induce a deputy to frame French married wo- mans property act, more restricted in its scope, however, than the English law. The measure successfully passed the Chamber some time ago. but at present lies shelved In the Senate. Now Mime. schmahl attacks. not a loftier but, per haps, a more vital subject. .
 F1guratively speaking, she makes an onslaught on the inner man. The "haus- frau" Is becoming extinct. Such Is her bold statement. Still more darngly she adds, "So much the better" Tn her opin- ion the modern woman is losing both taste and capacity tor looking after the house. Mime. Schmahl is openly delight ed to have ascertained, as she professes to have done. that this Is an undoubted fact. The woman of the future may con- sequentiy be expected to rid herself en- tirely of the ''hausfrau's" instincts. She will no longer rake the slightest ir+erest in supervising the cook. being utterly un- qualified to do so, while 1t stands to req son that she will have nothing whatever to do herself with her husbands dinner except to partake of 1t.
 Mime Schmahl forsees further and In her opinion, a still more benefcient consequence. When the 'hausfrau', dies out the cook will vanish from the house. hold, and with her the kitchen. and all it's odors will be abolished. Mme schmahl does not go 80 far.' however. as should be done away with as well and that nitrogehors tabloids are to take the place of varied menus. Her vision of the future merely forecasts the day when all food and drink will be supplied by universal providers. Breakfast, lunch con, tea, dinner and supper. when re- quired, will be sent In to every house. hold from the nearest restaurant by con- tract at so much a head per annum.

BUSINESS AND BEARps.
Most London Men Are Clean Shaven,
 or Wear Mustache Only.

From the London Express.
 This would appear to be mainly a beardless age. for. though you do find men in nearly all pursuits who wear boards, they are nevertheless in a vast minority just now.
 In the first place, let Us take the typi- cal city man. He is probably engaged on the stock exchange. and if 50 will be remarkable if he wears a beard.
 Most of the frequenters of Throgmor- ton street are clean shaven, or, at most, a mustache Is cultivated.
 The same applies to most bank clerks and young and middle-aged men in in surance and other offices Secretaries of with cultivating slight mustaches, if they are not altogether clcan-shaven.
 On the other hand 1t Is curious to note that boards seem fairly popular among accountants. Indeed, 1t would almost seem as if the growth of hair on the face were conducive to clearheadedness in matters of calculation, so general do boards and whiskers appear to be among men of figures. Middle-aged buyers and travellers in the wholesale soft goods and the rag trades also seem partial to cultivatelng hair on the face. though in retail trades 1t is seldom that more than the mustache Is grown among men of an ages.
 For instance, bearded men are the ex- ception rather than the rule among dra- pers, bootmakers, stationers. grocers, hosiers. and such like caliings
 In the government service men are. as

a rule, either clean shaven or they culti- vate the mustache only.
 Take the clerks, telegraphists, and sort CTS In the postof1ce Mustache. especially the downy, embryo sort seem rather popular among the youths and younger men, while a few of their middle-aged seniors indulge in the luxuries of com fortable beards but for the most part the clean-shaven men manage to hold their own
 At Somerset house the same remarks may be applied, as at the treasury and other government offices.
 In the army, of course, they cultivate mustaches, but boards are practically un- known, even among our generals.
 Naval officers are as a rule clean shaw en, though boards are pretty common seamen.
 The law is, of course, the cleanest shay en of all clean-shaven callings-which is, perhaps but as 1t should be.
 Medical men, on the other hand, arc rather fond of their mustaches. One sup poses that they are cultivated when their wearers have set up in practice in order to inspire confidence in possible patients
 Take it all around, however, it may safely be said that clean-shaven men in London are quite as numerous as those with mustaches. If not slightly more so i; while the man with beard would appear to be getting more of a rarity.

the Treasury did not become fully effec- tive last week because upon it's promulga- tion there were considerable sums in transit to the New York sub-treasury from Western points. From this division of internal revenue collections therefore there probably were moderately large amounts of money added to the cash of the banks on Saturday and further con tributions will be made early in the cur rent week. The decision of Secretary Gage to continue to purchase 8, and 5 per cent government bonds may cause large offerings of such bonds this week and upon the acceptance of these offer ings payment will be promptly made Therefore, considering the above facts, there would seem to be fairly large amounts of cash already in the banks not showing the statements and making the sums which may be reasonably expected early in the week. If money rates could be kept firm without deranging specula- ton, there would seem to be reasonable assurance of imports of gold from Europe sight exchange now being quite close to the gold importing point. It Is probable, however, the relief which the money market has already received and that which is In immediate prospect will tend to restore normal rates for money, thus causing the postponement of gold imports from Europe.

Al TO CUBA

The growth of the beet sugar industry
and the situation of Cuba have brought
up new problem, which will be forced
upon the attention of Congress at the
coming session. The production of SUI
gar is by far the greatest of the in
terests of Cuba, and the one upon which
its trade most largely depends, and it is
capable of almost indefinite expansion;
but at present it is not iourishing. In
the season of 1929 the island produc-
ed 1,054, 2l4 tons OF sugar valued at $50,
O0O, 200, but the industry was almost
destroyed by the insurrection and
war with Spain, and i now struggling
for new development But the foster
ing of beet sugar by bounties in Eu-
rope has practically closed that market
to the cane product OF Cuba, and the
duty upon it in the United States is |,
barrier against which it is raising d
desperate clamor.-New York Mai
and Express.
