London, March 2.
Peeresses In their own right viii be
parmitted to sit In the House or Lords.
under 8 decision by the Committee on
Privileges OF the House of Lords act
ing upon the petition OF viscountess
Rhondda. daughter Of the late viscount
Rhondda, coal magnate and wartime
food controller. who was d. II. Thomas
OF Wales. LADY Rhondda is the fore
most business woman in the British
Isles. She is director in twenty-seven
public enterprises, an active suffrage
worker and stanch supporter of the
equality of women in all walks of life.
She will be the first woman to sit in the
upper House.
The committee argued that the only
question was whether there was ground
for disqualification on the point of sex.
but the Crown Counsel admitted this
was removed by the sex disqualification
removal act in 1919. The Attorney-Gen-
era. raised no objection to the petition.
Lady Rhondda said she would take her
seat when summoned, after the House
OF Commons acts. The committee was
composed of Lord Donoughmore, chair
man, and Lords Desert Haldane.
Chelmsford, Hylton. Wrenbury. Philli-
more and Askwith.
The decision affects some twenty
three other peeresses in their own
right, including the Duchess of Nor
folk the Duchess OF Fife princess
Arthur of ConnaughD, the Conntesses
OF Cromartie Warwick. Melfort, Sails
rs-NI .l@x- .~t-Nr

esses Clifton of Leighton Bromswold,
Darcy de Knayth. Beaumont, Berkeley,
Burton. Furnival Grey Dorchester,
Einloss. Wentworth Zouche and
Strathcona. and the Baroness Lucas OF
Cridwell and Dingwall
The fact that the husbands of some
OF them already sit in the House of
Lords is held to be no obstacle TO their
taking advantage of the privilege that
has been accorded to Lady Rhondda
In short time, therefore. the COM
plexion Of the historic chamber will be
changed by the Introduction of feminine
faces.
Lady Rhondda. who survived the Lusi-
tania disaster in 1915 with her father.
Is 70 years old and the chairman of
the board of directors of the Cambrian
coal combine, which controls the greater
part of the output of the southern Welsh
fields. and is chairman OF the British
Fire Assurance Company.
Viscountess Rhondda was notably
active in business and industrial activi-
ties in connection with the war. and in
1918 was chief controller of the women s
recruiting service. During the fight for
the ballot in prewar days she was
militant suffragist. Early this year
Lady Rhondda filed a petition in the
Divorce Court seeking the restitution
OF conjugal rights against her husband

(Capital News Selvice)


Washington, June S.-A Newark
IN. J.) woman has found new rea-
son for getting a divorce. She got
it, too, which should make all de-
votees of the royal game more care
full. Her testimony was to the effect
that hubby played so much golf, so
often, that he hadn't time to be 4
husband and provider. It's an old
saying of golfers, "If business inter
feres with golf, give up business" ."
This particular golfer found his wife
interfered with his game, and so she
got rid of him!
But this was nothing to lie sad
case of a Des Moines Qowa) lady
who had husband" who proved to
be a woman, yet one so overbearing
and strong that she held her "wife'
in terror for year ard half be-
fcre the poor deluded lady caused
her husband" to be arrested!
The wife should have gone to Vas
sar. Statistics from the great wom-
ems college show tlat Cassarities,
during the last ten years, are an inch
and half taller, two inches larger
around, and with bigger hands and
feet, all due to physical culture.
A Charlestowp (W. Va.0 boy, out
riding in an automobile, was fired
upon by an unknown assailant.
Rushed to hospital he was X-rayed
and his heart found to be upon the
right (Which is the wrong) side of
his body! Had his heart been where
hearts are supposed to be, in the right
place on the left side, he would have
been instantly killed.
Paris says skirts must be long.
America says they are short and go

the prohibition enforcement law. In
a Republican district, the Republican
nominee was returned to congress by
a greatly reduced majority. 1t hap
pened that in this instance the Dem
ocratic nominee had made opposition
to the prohibition law a point in his
platform. There were several other
factors in the election, reduced vote
disgust over congressional do-nothing-
ness, the aftermaths of financial de-
preston, and the usual local group
vote alignments.
But anti-prohibitions ignored all
other factors and loudly ascribed the
reduced Republican majority to dis
satisfaction with prohibition.
A few weeks later, however, the
primary election in Indiana was held
and anti-prohibitionists remained dis
creetly silent over the election. Sam
uel NJ. Ralston was nominated for
senator by the Democrats by an over
whelming majority. One of his op-
ponents had made the campaign sole
ly on the anti-prohibition issue, and
had been showed under so badly that
it was not worth while to count the
votes. In several of the congression-
al nominations, other anti-prohibition
aspirants had Jared as badly.
The truth of the matter is tha, ~
public will not consider prohibition
as a live issue. Even those persons
who profess the belief that the pro-
hibition measure was mistake re-
fuse to let any worry over its passage
interfere with their 1922 digestion.
Prohibition as fundamental policy
is settled, and the politician who tries
to urge its repeal is arguing an is
sue as dead as slavery.
