Magma charta of the Servant
Girl Issued In England

RoMFoRD, Eng, May g. The
Magma Charta of the Servant Girl h, 9
been issued. The Romford Juvenile
employment Committee has drafted IN
list of suggestions which household
ers are asked to adopt when engaging
servants. These are.
Eight and one half hour WORKING
day.
Three and one-half hours day for
recreation.
Two and three-quarter hours a day
for meals.
Every Sunday evening off for church
service.
Every alternate Sunday off after
midday.
Two weeks annual holiday after a
years service.
These suggestions are considered out
rageous and revolutionary by the Brit
ish housewife, who is accustomed to
keeping three or four servants, all of
whom are on duty most of the time.
Doubtless the last clause will command
the greatest attention from America n
housewives. ~
The servants demand a minimum
wage of Sits a week.

having some queer results in
Germany. A twentieth century
Garden of Eden is now blossomingi a.
Berlin suburb as product Of the, cult
of Zaractustra.
A few days ago residents in the vii.
lage Of Spreehagen, in the Berlin met
ropolitan district, saw little group
of serious looking men and women dig
gng holes in the ground in piece of
waste land. Rumor spread that the
Red army had intrenched itself, but
when the police came to investigate
they were informed that it was merely
quiet law-abiding Communistic re-
public that was being established by
a spiritualistic group.
Thirty in number, they were under
the leadership of Berlin doctor, and
when the holes were dug they rooted
them with branches and prepared TO
live there The doctor told curious
visitors that his title was Guardian
OF the Caverns Of Zarathustra."
He and his companions, some of
whom were young girls, wished to live
as "children of nature" and establish
new sect. Neighbors, however, OBJ
jected to the fact that the naturalists
were most scantily clad and used the
adjoining lake for mixed bathing. 1t
is understood that the enterprise will
come to an untimely end, as the Berlin
city fathers are considering drastic
action.

War Romance is Conducted
Via Classified "Ad" Column

LONDON, May 5.-A war romance
via the Personal classified advertise
ment columns of daily paper has just
been consummated.
1t is the story of an Australian ex-
sergeant, who, after having won the
.. C. NJ. and the M. M. at the front,
passed through Birmingham in 1918 en-
route to a rehabilitation camp. On a
railroad station platform he talked
with a pretty girl for fifteen minutes,
and-the Australians being quick work
ers-received gift of lock of hair
before he left. He did not learn the
girls name, however.
Returning to Australia, he moved to
Tasmania, and from there wrote the
chief constable at Birmingham, say
ing that he had fallen in love with the
girl, and asking aid in finding her. An
advertisement was inserted in The
Daily Mail, of London, the girl saw the
"agony column" notice, photographs
were exchanged, and last week she
sailed for Hobart, Tasmania.

British Bill Would Eliminate
Feudal System of Land Tenure
Medievaldom Still Exists in Eyes of the Law and
Certain Realty Deals Are Governed by Stat
utes Hundreds of Years Old

islation, for it was not put on the
books until the time of Henry VIII
a mere four hundred years or so. But
it still governs certain transactions in
land.
The law of property bill itself
bristles with legal Technology. While
a close study of it would delight the
heart of the lawyer who is interested
in the evolution of Anglo-Saxon juris-
prudence, the lay reader would be
hopelessly lost before he had read
half a dozen clauses. Its progress
through the House of Lords will prob
ably be slow, for there are more timely
measures to claim the attention OF
the upper house.
Gist of Proposed Reforms
Here is what q legal writer has
to say about the gist of the reforms
embodied in the measure:
"The bill gives facilities for over
riding all interests in land, except
legal estates in fee simple or for a
term of years absolute, equitable in
terests have to be registered to escape
being overrden, and all charges and
incidents are to be appraised as def
rite termnable amounts.
Another salient reform is in the
application of the existing law relating
to the devolution of personal estate
on an intestacy to land generally. This
involves changes in the rule of inheri-
tance of an intestate's landed estate:
among other provisions, kindred more
remote than second cousins are ~ex-
eluded, the crown taking the place of
all others.
"Copyhold tenure is absolutely to
disappear, only the quaint and inof-
fensive services of grand and petty
sergeantry' remaining.
"All manorial Incidents must be
ascertained and redeemed or their re-
demption provided for within five
years, and at the end of ten years all
Will cease to be operative. whether
declared or not"
1t makes one wonder whether the
antiquarian of 2421, rummaging among
the dusty records of FIVE hundred wears
before, will find that Dora" (the de-
tense of the realm-act) is still in effect
and that for over four centuries the lsw
prohibiting the sale of chocolates in
thesters after 8 o'clock has been ruth
lessly broken.

at Po$sdam found that all his medals,
which had been packed in special cases
for the ceremony, had been stolen en-
route. The Order of the Iron Cross
(Firse Glass;, which the Kaiser had
pinned on the field marshal's breast
with his own hands, was gone, and so
were the many other minor decora-

ANNuNZTO stays in the lime

riage with, the pianist, Miss
Luisella Baccara, Venetian
young lady and daughter of a former
Bersaglieri colonel, has been an
nounced. Miss Baccsra was delighting
Fiume audiences with her concerts dur
ing D'Annunzio's regency-concerts at
which D,Annunzio regularly attended,
and thus the idyl began. What appears
strange is that nothing has been heard
of D'Annunzio's divorce from his wife,
Maria Aquino di Gallese, noblewoman.
In this respect Fiume seems again to
have been the resort for divorces as
it was for Ntalians before the war,
no divorce laws existing in Italy.
Hungarian law regulations being handy
and easy in divorce matters, regula-
tions appear to have been kept on and
taken advantage of by D'Annunzio. 1t
is alleged that his marriage with Miss
Baccara took place in Switzerland, In
connection with this an amusing story
is reported from Berne.- The Pope's
representative from Rome, Nunzio, hap
pened to request an interview with the
president of the Swiss Federation. The
doorkeeper misunderstood the name
and announced him as D'Annunzior
forthwith divulging the event in sew
eral Offices. A rush of clerks hap
pened Immediately and both the Pope's
representatives surprise at this unex-
pected welcome and the presidents as
constituent at receiving the so-called
DAnnunzio in priestly clothes can be
imagined.

From The Tribune's European Bureau
yohTnnAy 4

LONDON, May 1.
IS an anomaly that in this year
of our Lord 1921 bill is being in
Ia troduced into the British Parlia-
ment with the object of eliminating
the feudal system of land tenure!
One usually associates feudalism
with the Middle Ages, and the history
books state that the Black Death, which
eliminated in the fourteenth century,
was largely responsible for the break
up Of the manorial regime. AS a mat
ter of fact, the history books are right,
but Britain's laws evolve slowly, and
in the eyes of the law the whole pic
turesque array of medievaldom still
exists.
Many of the survivals which the bill
sponsored by Lord Brkenhead and
generally similar to the measure pushed
by Lord Haldane in 1914, when it was
sidetracked by the war, is designed to
| terminate, mean little save to the an
tiquarian or the barrster For in
stance, the bill would end the legal
existence Of lords Of the manor, thane,
knight, vassal, socman, villein, steward
reeve hayward, marlborough, grieve,
woodward and beadle. Other anachro.
nisms which would be terminated are
the payments of fines, heriots, quit
rents, free rents, estovers, escheats,
courts leet and courts baron, view of
frankpledge, assize of beer and .of
bread. How many of these terms mean
anything to-day?
And yet the practices which they des-
ignate remain to comp,icate the pur-
chase or renting of land.
Laws for Landlords Benefit
"Britain's laws" the American who
contemplates buying or renting will be
told, "are framed for the benefit of the
landlord. One has devil of q time
to get place, but he has a worse time
in getting out Of it,"
However that may be, it is a fact
that British law, the source of ou-
common law, is very involved and
very technical thing. Precedent? There
are decisions handed down seven hun
dred years ago upon which cases even
now may be decided. Lord Birkenhead's
Dill, known as the law of property bill.
would repeal, among other things, the
statute of uses. Now, the statute of
uses is comparatively pew bit of leg

Lady Astor is using American meth

speaker For instance, she and the
wife of the Premier spoke recently at
a great demonstration held under the
auspices of the Temperance Council of
the Christian Churches. 1t was cele-
bration of what the speakers called the
"repulse of the brewers bill'' in the
House of Commons. Here is the report
of Lady Astor's speech as it appeared
in the London papers:
Viscountess Astor, M. P, said she
was pleased with the work in Parha-
ment that afternoon. After the House
rose she saw some Of the members OF
"the trade and, in the language OF
the Tommies, they had "got the wind
up" Uaughter) The drink question
was not going to be settled by any
government; it was going to be settled
by the people themselves. (Cheers.)
There were q great many members of
Parliament who had not yet been mob
bled" by "the trade" and who honestly
wanted to see better conditions, and it
was her opinion that if the Prime Min
lister would appeal to them and show
them that it was to the interest of the
country to have drastic temperance re-
form, he could get their support.
