CITIES ABROAD
 MUCH CLEANER

New York Oct. 21.-The large cities of Europe in the point of clean liness and tidiness of streets are far ahead of New York, Chicago, Cinc1n- nati and many cities in America, says Clyde A. Copson, manager of the Anti-Litter Bureau of the Merchants association, who has just returned from trip of observation in Europe
 "In some sections of New York" !" he said, "I can see more street Htter in one square block than in any one city visited abroad. Paris and Lon don are models of cleanliness and comparatively free of street litter of any description. This is due to the fact that the people abroad are more
 tidy than we who live@In America.
 nances conditions that none of the
 cities which I visited would tolerate for a moment.
 MT. Copson> said that London has
 the best organized street cleaning de- partment in Europe, Glasgow, the poorest, and Paris has the best gar bage disposal system.
 Referring to taxi-cab drivers and all chauffeurs abroad, MT. Copson's $ statement said that they seem to know their business and when Tn trouble, or about to run down a ped estrian, they apply the brakes instead of footing horns. The chauffeurs in New York do just the opposite, hence the greater number of accidents and noises.

DEATH RECALLS
 ABBEY LEGEVE

London, Oct. 21.-The sudden death of Michael P. Grace, father of the Countess of Donoughmore, re- calls a legend connected with Battle Abbey which he rented from Sir Au- gustus Webster.
 The great establishment was seized by Henry VIII and it is said that the last abbott pronounced a curse that the owners of it should meet death by drowning. It is stated that Lord Montague, who owned the property in the 18th century, was drowned, and a, similar fate befe1l his two nephews. Lady Webster, wife of the present owner, was drowned three years ago and a short time later the eldest daughter of the tenant then occupy ing the abbey lost her life in a similar way.

HEINoUs CRIMES INCREASE.

Budapest, Oct. 21 - Professor Rusten Vambery, a famous crimin- o1ogist of the Budapest university, has told the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press that the number of hein- ous crimes has been increased in the war defeated countries of Central Europe to ten times their pre-war percentage. ''The criminal, in his revolt against society. is becoming more and more desperate" he said. The continual increase of crimes, however, stupefying in itself, is far less appalling than the increasing in humanity of the criminal.

HAS
 ANNIVERSARY

Hamilton, Bermuda, Oct. 21.-Ber- muda has been celebrating the 3ooth anniversary of the founding Of its House of Assembly one of the oldest representative bodies in existence and coming next in age to the British par liament.
 Bermuda shares with Virginia the honor of the earliest of representative institutions on this side of the Allan tic. It's history is closely linked with that of the Old Dominion.
 The first general assembly for Vir- ginia was held at Jamestown, July 30, 1919, while the first general assembly for Bermuda was convened at St.
 colony, on August l. 1920.
 Virginia was settled in 1907 while
 Bermuda was settled in 1872, though
 the latter reached the stage of self government more quickly than their Virginian fellow colonists. When Sir George Somers was wrecked on this island in 1909, he and his company of adventurers were bound for Virginia to settle. But after their unexpected landing in Ser muda they decided to stay on here and later secured letters patent from the crown which included the Ber- mudas in the limits of the Virginia Company.
 The distinction of being the oldest self governing British possession is proudly borne by Bermuda and it's tercentenary is one of the notable celebration in connection with the l English settlement of America recent ly held at Plymouth and Southamp- ton, England.
 The ceremonies included meetings in old St. Peters church at St. Georges where the first legislature met 300 years ago, and in the former state house in that town. They are now concluded with the visit of the Prince of Wales.
