LONDON. September -, 1910
\ wonderful thing has happened in the
direction of organizing small holdings in
England on a successful basis More than
2O1 village clubs have quietly sprung into
being in various parts of the country
during the past ten weeks, and new clubs
are in process of formation every week
This remarkable demonstration Of the
desire of small holders for organization
has been the result of a suggestion made
by the STAKEHOLDER, a small weekly Jour
nal.
The movemen. has spread so widely
that the need for a central body already
has become apparent, and a Small Hold
ers' League has been established The
league has been registered under the in
dustrial and provident societies act, and
has offices at l. Great James street, Bed
ford Row, W. q. A new era for small
holders and allotment holders is begun
with the formation of this holders
league. which aims at bringing about in
England the same kind OF agricultural
revolution that Sir Horace Plunkett's
great work of organization and co-opera-
ton has wrought in ireland
What has been done i'm ireland and
Denmark In the way of cooperative or
ganlzation is to be done in England, and
the Small Holders League will be the
nucleus of a complete national scheme of
small holdings. agricultural Coon
eratfve societies, credit banks and land
banks. The league will at once under
take the encouragement of small hold
ings. by advancing to qualified members
money to purchase land, or for any pro
ductive purpose. on the easiest terms
No part of small or large husbandrv has
been overlooked in the drawing up of the
League charter. and the work will be
developed in many directions .

Through Dense Jungle.

One OF Mr.. Wilson's first great jour
neys was through the Chinting-shan re-
gion, near the big Chantu plain, where
the range was clothed with a dense
Jungle and brushwood. Descending to
this valley. he crossed over to the terri
tory of one of the semi-independent tribes
and obtained the friendship OF the Chief
who allowed him to traverse his country
freely This region was previously un-
known botanicaily, and Mr.. Wilson found
many new specimens.
Reaching the Chinese city of Tuan the
traveller, after a. rest crossed the river

companions hewed their way through the

In another journey Mr.. Wilson passed
through the wilderness behind Mounts

new treasures. On the lower ranges

A REAL DUEL
Students in University of Cracow
Fall Out Over Dashing Man
At Fifth Exchange a Bullet in
Shoulder Ends the Combat.

BERLIN, March IA duel between
two girl students took place this week
at Presterlitz, a small village close TO
the Austrian frontier
The combatants. who were studying
medicine, had fallen in love with a
dashing young medical student named
Breitner, who made love to both Of
them in turn, and avoided becoming
engaged to either. The rivalry for his
affections excited violent hatred, which
led to a quarrel and the exchange of
blows
The two girls considered themselves
bound by the same chivalry that held
good among their male companions.
In these circles blows demand the
shedding of blood and duel Is the
inevitable consequence of naDd to
hand fight.
Girls Arranged the Details.
Consequently Ilonca Ilnetzky, who
received the first blow, challenged
Olga Metzeroff, who struck her. by
sending two other girl students as her
seconds. Olga Metzeroff obtained two
more girl students as her seconds, and
the four seconds arranged that the

MAID TO RUN
MOTOR CAR
This Is Latest Fad Among the
Fashionable Women of Lon
don-Bester Than Man Oh
Long Tours and just as Good
on Short Ones.

LONDON. March -Wi1eawake
and ambitious women's maids, to meet
the new demand that has sprung up
for women with such capabilities, are,
now learning to drive motor cars.
WANTED-For an Indian lady in
Bombay. a ladys maid who also
understands thoroughly the mechan-
ism of motor cars and can drive them
well; must be young.
This. advertisement in a London pa
per led to inquiries. which showed
that the Indian woman is no more up
to date than her English sisters.
"There is great demand for lady's
maids who can drive a car" a report
err was informed at a motor school.
an the first place, many women
who drive their own cars prefer not
to have to take a chauffeur with them.
A man chauffeur is all well in town,
but for longish country drives it is
much preferable to take the maid
chauffeur.
Gives Women Chance to Talk.
''Then, too. even the most silent Of
women likes to have someone to talk
to, and finds her maid more compan-
ionable than a chauffeur.
Again, lady's maids who can drive
are often wanted to take out a small
car with the governess and children
whilst the chauffer IL driving other
members of the family.
"Women who own cars are also be-
ginning to realize how useful it is to
have maid who can drive. for if the
maid is also a chauffeur she can ac-
company her mistress TO her room IL,
for instance, she is lunching at, an ho-
tel, and help her to make herself pre-
sentable before she goes down to the
coffee room.
MANY other ways in which such
combination is useful present them
selves to any one who reflects little.
"Governesses, too, are learning to
drive cars, and of course, both they
and ladys maids who have added this
accomplishment to their qualifications
can command much higher salaries.
Can Give Men Points.
'These motor maids can give the
men points in the handling If car,
and are much more careful in their
driving. Many of them, rs l have
seen, understand the mechanism as
well as the men do.
at comes to this If a woman makes
up her mind to understand anything
she is like women are in other mat
ters-she will do it.
"Of course, acting as ladys maids or
governesses in the intervals Of dri ring,
they do not expect or undertake to
clean or wash the cars. A man must
be employed for it, but he naturally
does not get paid as highly as chauf-
feur."
