TITLED cHAPERoNs
GET $4,000 A YEAR

GET $4,000 a YEAR
LONDON, January 25.-The chap
eron has been revived, but she is no
longer the officious parent.
Parents, indeed, now do their chap
eroning by proxy. Professional chap
eroning was never a more lucrative
and popular business than it is to-
day, according to the well-known au-
thoress who writes under the name
of Cecil Mar"
The type of chaperon, however,
has undergone a vast change. Moth
ers very rarely chaperon their own
girls nowadays-in fact, the daugh-
ters wouldn't let them-and somebody
with title and small means is usual
ly chosen.
These women have been facetious-
rich They make it their business in
return for a consideration to act as
companion to well-to-do girls who are
thinking of marriage.
MANY professional chaperons make
over 5000 year. And in some cases
they claim so much per cent of the
girls first years income after she is
married. If the man happens to be a
millionaire, the proceeds are naturally
considerable.
I'm time the professional chaperOn
gets a name for marrying off her
charges, and her services are in great
demand One lady I know has found
ideal husbands for three girls during
the past season.
AT the present time chaperoning
is somewhat. of a competitive business
among impecunious women with titles.
The stern, severe, uncompromising
chaperon of past years is quite extinct
today.
The more attractive and youthful
the chaperon the more is she in de-
mand She must dress well and be
always full of energy and spirits"

EMIGRATION ALARMS SPAIN.

MADRID, January 25.-Spain is be.
ginning to be seriously troubled by
the continued exodus of Spaniards to
the Western Hemisphere, particular.
ly to South America
BY thousands Spanish emigrants
are embarking on steamers from the
various ports of Galicia, the greater
number bound for Chill, Brazil and
the Argentine Republic. In some
cases whole villages are leaving for
the new world. 1t is estimated that
in a recent fortnight as many as 5000
Spaniards embarked for Buenos Ayres
The government, greatly concerned
has appointed committees to study
the causes of this loss of it's popula.
ton, which is estimated as reaching
100000 yearly.
The committees of investigation
have already decided that good
means of diverting the emigration
would be the cultivation of the vast
territories of internal Spain. Renew.
ed efforts will be made to induce the
Spaniards with ambitions to emigrate
to remain in their own country and
turn their attention to agriculture.

CUBAN LEADERS
SIGN AGREEMENT

HAVANA, January 2O.-That the
Gomez administration has successful
ly passed the crisis resulting from the
veteran agitation appears to be made
reasonably certain by the assurances
given by the leaders of all factions
who attended the Palace conference
last night. The terms of an agree
ment which was signed by the lead
ers were announced officially tonight
as follows:
First-The Association of the Veter-
ans of the War of independence Will
contine its activities to such purposes
as are defined in its constitution and
bylaws.
Second-The National Council OF
the Veterans of Independence will
choose whether the existing revising
commission engaged in the examina-
ton of complaints against office-hold,
ers accused of hostility to the cause
of Cuban independence shall now dis
solye-in which case its duties shall
devolve upon the various members OF
the cabinet-or shall continue in oper-
alton.
Third-ln either case all prosecI
ton of ofIiceholders of this class shall
cease February "a.
Fourth-The President shall then re
quest Congress to revoke the suspen
sion of the civil service law.
Fifth-The Veteran leaders and all
the members of the association pledge
themselves to act as the guardians OF
the moral and material peace of the
country and to aid the government tc
this end.
The statement says further that the
government is now assured that those
who fought for independence will de
vote themselves to removing any eX
cuse for American Intervention, clos
ing with the declaration;
The Cuban people repose faith in
the honor loyalty and patriotism OF
the American nation to protect their
| liberty and rights"
This agreement was fully ratified to
night at a meeting of the Veterans.
Secretary of State Sanguily has
been instructed to inform American

STOLEN ROYAL SKULL FouNr

STOLEN ROYAL SKULL FOUND.
VIENNA, January 25.-The skull
which was taken from the body of
Prince Alexander in the cemetery
here has been found near the tomb
and returned to the coffin. The pc,
lice have been unable to find the thief,
but their theory is that the perpet'
rator was either a personal enemy OF
the Kurageorgevitch family or a man
who hoped to receive large payment
from the son of Alexander, King Peter
l. of Servia, who for some time past
has been making preparations for the
transportation of the bodies of his
father and his mother, the Princess
from Vienna to Topola in Servia,
The mausoleum at that place has
now been completed, and this week
the remains of the parents of King
Peter were conveyed thither, -Four
companies of cavalry accompanied the
hearses to the railway station and at
Topola the reception was much more
imposing.
The founder of the Karageorgevitch
dynasty was George Petrovitch, who
was proclaimed in 1904 and was as
sassinated in 1917, leaving two sons
Alexis and Alexander The former
never ruled. The latter died in exile
in 1885. His son, King Peter, is thus
the third of the line. He was pro
claimed King in 1908, after the as
sassination of King Alexander, the
son of the notorious King Milan, and
the last of the Obrenovitch dynasty

ENGLAND SLIPPING INTO Sc

ENGLAND SLIPPING INTO SEA.
LONDON, January 25.-England,
long known as the tight little isle"
is rapidly becoming loose" if we
are to believe the alarming reports
that come from various parts of the
coast The recent dropping of huge
slice OF the Dover cliffs into the sea
is but one of many similar incidents
that would lead one to believe that
the total disappearance of the whole
island is but a question of years.
From Dover comes the report that
at least 10000 more square yards Of
ground show evidence of instability
and it is expected that, with a little
more of the extraordinary run of wet
weather we have been having, there
is serious danger of their slipping into
the water. At Pakefield, in Suffolk;
Kilnsea, in Yorkshire, and Berth, on
Cardigan Bay, something approach
ing panic has taken possession of
the people who live near the waters
edge.
In the past 80 years more than 5000
acres Of Englands coast have slipped
away. he County of Yorkshire has
been the chief sufferer, losing about
500 acres. Lancashire and Suffolk
have each lost almost 500 acres and
Kent, Sussex and Lincolnshire have
added materially to the total.
For five years a royal commission
on coast erosion and afforestation sat
/ in England and made exhaustive in
vestigations into the former subject.
About year ago the commission
made some valuable suggestions for
preventing just such accidents as
that which occurred near Dover re-
Gently, One of the members of the
commission takes an optimistic view
of the situation. He said:
Although the sea is encroaching
on certain parts of the coast, we need
have no fear that the sea, in it's tight

battle. On the whole, the coast is
growing outward, and much more lanC
is being added to the country thar
is being lost
Nevertheless, at certain parts o
the coast the sea is making serious
inroads. At Pakeheld, near LOW
estoft for instance, the village is grad

ually being swallowed up by the
waves. There can be no doubt that
the encroachment of the sea at Pake-
field is due to the protective meth
DDS for keeping back the sea at Low
estoft. If the sea is held off at GER
tain point it is apt to get in behind.
The only way to protect the coast
effectively is to protect it everywhere.
But in certain parts of the country
the value of the land hardly justifies
such an expense"

LONDON, January 25.-JaCob Hood,
the artist of the Graphic, who had
special permission to make sketches
of King Georges shooting expedition
in Nepal accompanies the drawings
he sends to his paper with letter,
in the course of which he writes:
"The Maharajah of Nepal and his
three sons spared no trouble or eX-
pense to give us all a good time dur
ing our ten days as the guests of his
tiger-infested jungles. There were
| two camps, in each of which some
days have been spent, furnished with
every comfort including electric light.
Roads into the camps We're made
more than 40 miles up through the
virgin forest from Thori, the nearest
railway station on the border of Nepal,
and motor cars have kept up COM
munication, sometimes running into
tigers or rhinoceroses on the road.
Christmas Day, after a service in
the tent, a long line of the Mahara-
| jah's servants brought around costly
presents for every one of us and elab-
crate Christmas cards, from the Ma
harajah himself and one from each
of his sons.
ITO the King the Maharajah's pres
ent was truly princely, a collection of
all the wild animals of the country
in cages, some of them very rare.
They were carried into the camp by
coolies in their cages, and placed in
three lines. One Of the most difficult
to secure was the kyang or wild ass,
from the borders of Thibet. Differ
ent sorts Of bears and various kinds
of deer, from those with large snowy
antlers to the little musk deer, and
every sort of bird also, and fishes,
dead, of course, were represented, and
baskets of every fruit and vegetable
known, completed the gift.
Game in the way of rhinoceros
and tigers has been plentiful and an
excellent organization has been en-
ployed for effecting its destruction.
His Majesty shot altogether 81 tigers.
He has been shooting remarkably
we'll, and it is not often that he had
to give a second barrel. From an
artists point of view this was to be
regretted, as l have seen no exciting
incident of a tiger charging an ele-
plant or trying to pull the sportsman
out of his howdah. No sooner has
the tiger broken cover tnan he has
bit the dust, without a chance of bit
ing anything or any one else. Nine
teen rhinoceroses have also fallen
They have shown more fight, as there
are only two places in their thick
hides in which bullet may bring
deaths surcease, and when wounded
only are they apt to charge.
81 send drawings of two of his Ma,
jestys equerries who experienced a
fight with an engaged rhinoceros.
Major Wigram was on the head of the
elephant and Captain Godfrey Faust
was in the howdah. He eventually
shot his rhinoceros and his horn was
the biggest of any taken"

3SS,00 tons the tonnage building in
December, 1910.
The present figures are the highest

In addition to the foregoing 80 Brit
ish and eight foreign warshins of one

Some idea of the enormous extent
of the British shipyard industry may
be gathered from the fact that all
the principal foreign countries to-
gether had only 1854 vessels (exclud
ing warships), with S36,S2O tonnage
under construction at the end of the
year. So that the United Kingdom

TO TEAR DOWN PARIS WALLS.

PARIS, January 25.-The stone
walls of Paris which mark the legal
limits of the capital will disappear
and the fortifcation territory will be
transformed into a garden city, ac-
cording to a plan that is soon to be
brought before the Municipal Council
of Paris in connection with the pur-
chase of the Notifications by the
municipality from the State. Already
it is decided that the old military
zone formed by the historic breast.
works will be made into a broad belt
of verdure, occasionally widening into
pleasant parks and play grounds
What is known as The League OF
Open Spaces" has joined forces with
public spirited citizens to popularize
the establishment all round the city
of superb gardens modelled after the
English style.
The plan of Garden Cities" has
been taken up with great enthusiasm
in France and in many industrial cen
tiers efforts have been made to follow
the English example of establishing
model villages for work people. A
big coal mining company near Douai
has laid out a splendid garden village
and now is rendering more beautiful
the approaches to the mines them
selves, masking the unsightly shafts
and engine houses with rose gardens.
