ENGLISH WOMEN
STILL CHATTEL
Wne's Status Held Different
From Husbands.

LONDON. Feb 26.-English women
strongly resent the recent decision OF
Justice McAndIe in the divorce court
that women are still legal chattels Of
their husbands, who are entitled TO fnan-
ciaI compen sation II their wives leave
them for other men. Under the law,
husbands should be compensated for such
an injury to their feelings. for the blow
10 their martial honor and for the Sc
riOusness of the hurt TO their matri-
monial family life, Justice McArdle de-
clared.
The value of n wife, he asserted, de-
ponds upon whether she Is helpmate
jn business or as a housewife, but he
said be did not think n wife could claim
compensation II her husband went OF
with another woman.
Mrs. c. S. Peel, a well known jour
nalist and novelist, declares this decision
would make a comic opera plot but at
shows how necessary Il is that changes
should be made in the law
DR.. Elizabeth Chesser, a prominent
woman physician, said "The time has
come for women to be Judges Reform
of the divorce law is long overdue

step toward feminine emancipation. said
Miss Florence Underwood, secretary Of

added: 1--WE are directing our whole

Lady Asquith, leader in many social
reform movements, is also for equal d.

BEAVER
PESTERS FARM
Open Season Declared Until
Late in Spring.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Feb. 26.--The
beaver, once threatened with extinction,
has come back" under protective laws
to such an extent in Alberta that the
provincial government has proclaimed an
open trapping season, lasting until April
30, in all the country south of the fifty
fifth parallel of latitude.
Beavers may be said to have been the
architects of Edmonton's early fortunes.
The Hudson Bay Company pioneer fur
fOurished on its trade in beaver pelts.
Every prairie stream was full Of beavers,
and the 100000 acres of land dotted
through every township of Alberta. Sas-
katchewan, and Manitoba, south of the
North Saskatchewan river, which the
company has now thrown open to farm
settlement, was once included in the
richest beaver country in Canada.
When the settlers began swarming in
upon the prairies in the last quarter of
the last century the prairies were swept
almost clean OF beavers
Laws for its protection gave the animal
peace from it's human enemies, and it is
now again plentiful in many districts.
Numerous complaints have been made OF
damage by beavers in Alberta In the last
year. Their numerous dams have caused
streams to inundate farm lands, and
many cattle and horses have been
drowned recently in attempting to cross
these swollen streams on thin ice. The
animals also have destroyed much brush
and small timber along the streams
which the farmers needed for shelter for
stock

WESTERN IDEALS

DR.. Reid Says Nation Must Re-
sumo Friendships.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Dr. Gilbert
Reid OF the International Institute of

to over 200 students, representing twenty
five countries, at Columbia university,
under the auspices of the Intercollegiate
Cosmopolitan club.
DR.. Reid first emphasized the need Of
n moral reconstruction in China. "Per-
haps," he said. Il would be more correct

of western civilization has done as muck

that some very dubious policies have
been taught the Chinese which do not
equal old policies, traditions and idea,
taught by Chinas own sages.
"One Of these baneful policies is thai
of militarism. Young China now believes
that 1t must cultivate war rather than

the great nations are great because they
