Mrs. NIirabeau l.. Towns, wife OF
Brooklyn lawyer. gave an order at the
New York cement show for the max
ing of 10000 cement toy houses when
she later distributed among poor chill
dren throughout the city. The molds
used for the toy houses are miniatures
of the mold invented by Thomas A.
Edison for full sized cement struc-
lures.
Mrs. Towns. who was recently ap-
pointed a member Of the board OF euu-
cation. visited the cement show twice.
The second time she called she placed
in the hands of Mr.. Beck, the manager
a certified check to pay for 2OOOO min
ioture cement houses. Mr.. Beck was
amazed at the order until Mrs. Towns
told him that the houses were to MAKE
clad the hearts of as many poor chill
dren.
There were doll houses for the girls
and factories. garages. engine houses'

permanent veto on all measures. In a
conference between the representatives
of the two houses there was Il failure
to reach an agreement. and parliament
WAS once more dissolved for an appeal
TO the country The resultant elec-
ton, the one just held, gave the Lib
eral coalition net gain Of one, max
ing the majority 1876. thus assuring
the passage of the anti-vote Dill as
originally framed by the government
and passed by the commons.
There are those who profess tnat
even though commanded to do so by
the nation the lords will not pass the
measure, but such persons are not III
formed as to British traditions II the
unper House should refuse the govern
ment through the king would simply
crcote enough new peers to command
a majority in the body. AS a matter
of fact, the mere possession of the
mower to create these new peers IS
enough. 1t seldom or never has TO be
exercised.
There is no power in England, be 1t
that of king or parliament or courts
that darcs to stand in the way or the
nopu)nr will when it is thus clearly
EXPRESSED on a definite proposition.
The British people have said that the
lords veto must go. and go 1t VIII.
This is a foregone conclusion.
The most that the Tories can seek IS
COMPROMISE. Already they have agreed
to abolish hereditary membership IN
the house of peers and to make the
body in effect elective. That IS not
enough to satisfy the Liberals. now
ever. They are willing to leave the
chamber as it is, but are determined
to deprive it of power. And, having
been approved by the nation twice
within the year, they will have their
way.
Home Rule Now Possible.
AS for home rule. it will go through
following the veto bill or may even
accompany that measure. Inc lrlsh
Nationalist have the balance of pow
err and are in position to force the
issue. Moreover practically every

in some quarters that Premier Asqultf

as they now call themselves. took up
the protectionst issue. Since forced
on them by Joseph Chamberlain it mas
been rejected by the British people TOT
three successive elections just as it has
been rejected whenever brought Tor
ward ever since the passage of the corn
laws.
Referendum Is Applauded.
The second question resulted from
the tariff. Arthur ]. Ralfour, the I'm
ionist leader proposed to submit the
tariff to referendum. The audience
which heard this proposal recognized
it as q master stroke and leaped to its
feet in mighty cheer. Now we in
America are also graphing with this
same question of a referendum to the
people on all important laws. That
the Tory party in England would even
consider so radical a measure shows
how fast the world is moving.
The third issue was "American dol
lars" Because Redmond raised cam
paign fund in the states our poor heads
were belabored from Dublin to Edin
burgh and back again. Against this
cry the Liberals and Nationalist
raised counter one concerning the
peers who had married American heir
esses. So our dollars were abused and
lambasted from both sides. If all that
is said be true American dollars have
decided many elections at home. but
this is the first time they have played
star part in an election abroad. II
they have helped even remotely to enc
the house of lords and to give freedom
to Ireland. however, we will esteem
them more than ever.

QUAINT NEW YEAR CUSTOM.
Feast of Asses Of the Middle Ages Still.
Celebrated.

In certain parts of southern France
New Years eve is still celebrated BY
the famous feast of asses Of the mid
die ages. Before the congregatiCn IS
admitted to the church a great glow
ing braZier is placed in the nave. upon
the stone floor. and a broad path from
the entrance of the church to the altar
is roped off
The ceremony begins with a process
sion of men made up to represent va
rious Biblical characters. At its head
walk two priests singing ar old Pro-
yencaI hymn When the procession
reaches the center of the church six
men dressed as Jews of the time of
Christ step forward on one side and
six gentiles on the other. Two advo-
Gates stand between them.
1.-The Lord is made man." the gen.
tiles eXclaim.
To this the Jews reply, with scorn-
ful demand for proofs. The advocates
then summon the prophets and legis-
lators of the Old Testament One by
one the great personages of the past
| Moses, Aaron. Isaiah. Daniel and many
more-slowly advance up the aisle and.
pausing for moment in the glare OF
the brazier, bear witness to The divini-
| tv of Jesus and then pass on into the
darkness.
But the principal figure O. the cere-
mony is BaIaam's ass, FRI m which the
feast takes it's name The ass. under
whose voluminous trappings child
| is concealed, bears Balaam up the aisle
| and when beaten by his master re-
Dukes him in piteous voice through
the medium of the concealed child,
lust as the ass did the real BALKAN in
the Bible story.
The last parsonage Of the procession
Is usually Judas, who constitutes the
tragic feature of the quaint festival.

By JAMES A. EDGERTON.
~HE chief interest Of Americans
I'M the recent British elections
and in the new parliament
rests in the fact that they
promise to end the veto power OF the
house of lords and in the near future
to bring about some measure Of Irish
home rule In this aspect the victory
for progressive principles IS the most
important in more than generation.
The limitation of the lords veto has
been the dream of British radicals
since the days Of John Bright. Irish
home rule has been in issue since the
time Of Gladstone
Two parliamentary elections occur
red during 1910. both Of them result
ing in Liberal victories. The issue IN
the first was the Lloyd-George budget.
The peers rejected this. and the gov
eminent appealed to the country. The
result Of the polling was that the Lib
erals, the Laborites and the Irish Ma
tionalists together had a majority OF
1914 in the house of commons. The new
parliament again passed the Dudget,
and the lords assented. 1t being one or
the provisions of the unwritten Brit
ish constitution that after the voters
have approved bill once rejected IN
the upper house that body must bow
TO the will of the nation and permit
the measure to become law.
Peers Lose Appeal.
The death of King Edward and the
accession of George V. interrupted the
further program Of the Liberals for a
time but last fall the government pro-
posed a bill depriving the lords Of the

ENGLAND VOTES TO KILL
VETO POWER OF THE PEERS
AND GIVE ERIN HOME RULE

the veto power the road will be clear
ed for an Irish parliament at Dublin.
II was the lords who defeated home
rule in Gladstone's day. Now. more
than ten years after the great COM
moner's death. the lords themselves
are to be deprived Of power and home
rule is to triumph. The stone they
rejected becomes not only the head OF
the corner, but grinds them to powder.
There Is not little poetic justice IN
the outcome, and the only pity is that
Mr.. Gladstone is not alive to see the
triumph of his cause.
Campaign Was Bitter.
It has been long time since Eng
land has passed through so bitter and
abusive campaign. With the cleo
ton over the vituperation is redoubled'
The baffled Tories are making all sorts
of threats, even to civil war In Ire
land. They hint that George V. Will
stand in the way of the humiliation or
the peers. but the Liberals retort that
the king is virtually pledged to bow
to the will of the people as his father
and grandmother did before him. AS
a matter of fact he cannot help nm
self. Charles l. was practically the
last king who tried to oppose the VIII
of the nation, and his fate has been a
deterrent to other monarchs who held
similar absoutist ideas. If there is
one fact clear in Great Britain 1t IS
that the people rule. and the house OF
commons is the voice Of the people.
Three other issues that were in
volved in the English campaign are
of interest to Americans. One of these
is protection. The Tories, or Unionists

holding back their orders in the hope
that the market price may break in
their favor.
According TO those present at the
meeting yesterday afternoon, the price
Of the raw material is so high that
any cut in price would mean ruin to
the industry. and the resolution to cut
production to conform to the demand
was almost unanimously adopted, af-
ter a thorough discussion Of the stu
alton. The scheme involves about 90
firms manufacturing glazed kid.
While less than 30 per cent. of the
normal production is being turned out
in Philadelphia, a Wilmington moroc-
co manufacturer said today. that not
more than 25 per cent is being turned
out in this city at the present time.
When asked for an explanation of this
condition he said that It was to get
the price of raw material down and
to make a short supply of the manu-
featured product.
At the banquet, which followed the
meeting, Robert H. Richards, former
