LONDON. Aug. 1877 find on trs
whole that American women are bet
ter informed ana more alert on world
affairs than English women. You
have few women of exceptional abil-
ity."
This Ii the view expressed by Mrs.
Mary Austin, the well-known Ameri-
can novelist. a.
There is a great demand In Amer
ica." she says. for women's points OF
view on feminist questions. as we
have not had the vote very long and
are keen to know how other countries
are dealing with all the women prob
lens which arose out OF the war
"A democracy does not tend to pro-
duce exceptional types. Women Mt
home are doing very great deal III
local matters, and our men are dis
posed to, turn over local matters to thu
women, who are working to secure
better sanitation, education. ETC..
"A man who votes will call UP his
wife on the telephone and say:
Mother, how did you tell me to vote
on the new sanitation question:"

Mrs. Austin replied. II see a vast
Improvement in the dress of the work
ing classes. / do not see any more
dingy hand-me-downs on the women.
and the men are better groomed.
Then I notice, too, a changed at
titude in the way the English people
treat Americans-they are more
cordial. I think the working classes
have improved in every way enor-
mously.
I'm rather disturbed to see 80
many American films in London. I've
walked miles to find British film.
i am particularly interested in films,
as I write scenarios myself.
But what worries me is that the
films do not represent American life.
and therefore gives false ideas Of our
social and working life.
Our stengraphers do not wear
ropes of pearls and sable wraps as
the films from over there would lead
one to believe"
Mrs. Austin is the founder Of the
Community Theater movement. and
1t is to lecture on this subject also
that she has come to London.
Corrccts Divorce Fallacy.
Now about the fallacy that Ameri.
cans are always being divorced-it is
entirely wrong. The average people
in America are happy. But all the lit
erature We get from England deals
with marital troubles. of unpleasant
subjects in life"
Criticising Englishwomen, Mrs Aus
tin expressed surprise that so many
were SO keen on sport and spent 80
much of their leisure on the tennis
courts or golf links.
Mrs. Austin has had life of excite
ment that many a biographer would
crave to write. For many years she
lived with Indians in the deserts of
Arizona, California and New Mexico,
studying their modes of life.
She has a scar on her arm which
tolls the story of an eagle which
swooped down to steal her baby one
day in her garden. She tells of thrill.

search for food.

HOLDOVER RENTS
STAND AS SECURITY
FOR LANDLORDS
Justice HotchkiSS Hands Down
Decision That Aids Admin
iStration of New Laws.

Supreme Court Justice HotchlSiss
to-day decided rent paid under old
contracts by holdover tenants where
landlords are suing for recovery OF
the premises may stand as security
for any damages obtained by the
landlords. This decision helps to
clarity the administration Of the new
rent laws.
Justice Hotchkiss made his ruling
in the action Of Mrs. Theresa Bern
stein, who, as the executrix OF the
estate OF Isaac NJ. Bernstein, sought
from the Supreme Court a peremptory
mandamus compelling George Olt and
eight other tenants to give up their
apartments at No. 5O4 West 16sth
street. Justice HotchlSiss denied the
mandatory injunction and ruled:
Each OF the defendants having
consented to pay a monthly sum
equal to the former rent, an order
may be presented providing for the
payment Of an amount equal to the
aggregate to date in each case, and
the appropriate amount monthly
thereafter, and that the same stand
as security for any damages plain
tiff may recover"
