SOME NEW TANGLED

LONDON, July H,-No home In

Leonard Hill, of the London hospital.
Also, the futurist home must be
equipped with a hypocaust to meet
futurist conditions, which demand
warm feet and cool head.
Prof. Hills invention, the katather-

ture indoors approximates that out
of doors, his theory being that it is
wrong to maintain level summer

he believes, for the prevalence OF
nerve troubles. Houses should have

DANISH KING MAY
LOSE PRER0CAT|VE
EFFORT BEING MADE TO TAKE
AWAY SOME RIGHTS THE
RULER HAS CLAIMED.

Copenhagen, Denmark June 12.-
King Christian x of Denmark today
placed an unexpected obstacle in the
way of the plan of the Danish cabinet
to solve the deadlock In electoral re-
form by dissolving the upper house OF
parliament. The king objected to the
inclusion in the dissolution of the
twelve members of the upper house
nominated by himse1t and declared
that he wished only the other tifty-four
members to be effected.
Radical politicians have advised the
cabinet to resign unless the king gives
way.
The bill which abolished all prop
erty qualifications for electors of mem
bers of the upper house and takes
away from the crown its present right
to nominate twelve members passed
the lower house on June 8. When the
bill reached the upper house, the con-
servatives, including the kings nom
inees absented themselves and as they
number more than half of the sixty-six
MEMBERS, no valid vote could be taken.
