Another Slap at "Mere Man.

Marriage is a desperate thing"
said John Selden way back in the six
teenth century, and now 1t looks as if
we of the twentieth century were do
ing our bit to make it still more des-
perate. A begowned dlgnitary over in
Newark has decided (and unfortunate
ly his decisions have legal weight
that the lesser portion of the marriage
contract has no rights to compensation
for work performed in odd jobs around
the house ON his wife's property, such
as carpentering and painting the
fence, or washing the dishes, or get
ting up to warm the baby's milk when
it begins to squall ut a. m.

ought to be glad to do them. And if

this the court will undertake to assist

WOMEN TAKING TO M0N0CLE
Single EyeeIass Rapidly Becoming
Popular Among the Smart Set in
English Society.

Two fashionably dressed women
were seen in Regent street the other
day. each wearing a monocle screwed
into the right eye. According to a
member of a well-known firm Of op-
ticians the wearing Of the single eye
glass is becoming popular among wom-
en- in society.
1--WE have had several orders for
mOnocles from women recently" he
said. "In every case there was genu-
inc trouble with one eye only. Rather
than wear pince-nez fitted with one
plain glass for the good eye, they pre-
ferred monOcles as being the least dis
figurement. They all chose those fit
ted with gold rims as being the most
comfortable and the easiest to keep
in the eye. They take cords also, for
1t requires the confidence born of long
experience to wear monocle without
a guard.
after all, why should the monocle
be a masculine glass onlyf 1t is a
mistake for some people to regard 1t
as only a facial decoration for dudes
and politicians Where only one eve

DRAW MILLIONS FROM LAND
Immense Wealth Accruine to Fortu-
nate Property Owners in the City
of London, England

The most elaborate and the largest
map Ia the world is the valuation"
map of the city Of London, which was
some twenty years In the making, and
which is more than thirty feet wide
and twenty feet from top to bottom.
The map is of the metropolitan dis
trict of London. embracing an area of
| 115 square miles, and every house,
shop and piece of property in that
area is shown. Nearly 10000 separate
estates are listed.
Some curious and interesting facts
about London landlords are shown by
the great map. The wealthiest estate
! Is that of the duke of Westminster,
400 acres, with a rent roll of $15,000.-
600 per year. This is not by any means
the largest estate in London, however,
though its location makes it the most
valuable. In South London is one es-
tate which covers four square miles,
and there are several exceeding two
square miles. Lord Howard de Wal
denis estate brings in rents to the
amount of $10,000000 per annum, and
the $50 acres belonging to the duke of
Bedford rent for $10.50O0OO per year.
Lord Northampton. the duke of Nor
folk; Lord Portman and Earl Cadogan
each own around 200 acres of city
property, and their rents run from
about $5,OO0,0OO to 100000 per year
each. Not bad idea to let a city like
London grow up around ones farm.

UNCLE SAM HOLDS BAG.

The question of who is left holding the bag
in the disaster that has hefallen Poland inter
ests the people of the United States quite as
much as it does those of France and England.
The fact is that, quite unknown to the aver
age citizen, our Uncle Samuel has been gamb-
ling on Polish success, and Polish failure raises
the question of where the money is to come
from.
While ostensibly at peace with Russia, our
government has nevertheless been busy supply
ing the Poles with military supplies The Pol
ish government now owes the United States a
total Of ST. ,92O, III, covering sales made from
supplies shipped to France for the use of the
American Expeditionary Force, and sold by
Secretary of War Baker to Poland, not for cash,
but on credit.
For these supplies the Polish government
gave the U. S. Treasurey Department it's prom
issory notes bearing interest at 5 per cent and
running three, four and five years, each note
being for one-third Of the total amount pur-
chased.
To these sums must be added others, totals
of which are unknown, for the purchases made
by the Poles through the Grain Corporation
and the Navy Department. The Navy Depart
ment has refused to say how much war mater
ial is sold the Poles. The best estimates are
that these latter transactions will bring the
total sum due the u S. from Poland up to $780,
100000
Officials responsible for these sales, incud-
ing the State Department which approved at
least the latter transactions, are busy scratch
ing their heads over the explanations they may
be called upon to make to Congress in case the
Polish government defaults.
All of which goes to show that it might be
a good idea if the people Of the u S. A. were
kept advised Of what is being done with their
property
