Lady Margot Asquitil
And American Women

Margot ssquith did not intend to be
unjust to American women when she
criticised those whom she had met on
her first arrival to America and the few
weeks following. She says: - The
society women | hav.' met in America
and | have had little chance so far TO
meet the others-haven been women
who are doing worth while things. |
confess prejudice in favor of women
who do scme kind u; work. Whether
the women are in America or in Eng
land. it is a mistake not to keep abreast
of the times. Ny husband is gone
from in the morning till midnight. We
couldn I be very eongehial if ! did not
read about things in which he is inter
csted. so that | can discuss them with
| him.
1.-The American business man works
pretty much the whole wear round, as
| understand it, and | think he and his
wife should have more outdoor life to
gether When he won't do this, il
| leaves all the months of the year fol
society alone, unless the woman has
some work in which she is interested.
Mrs. Asquith says that England i:
| drinking less and less, but she believe:
| that il is better to have laws that limit
| rather than prohibit ''In England We
are drifting toward prohibition, sh,
SAYS.
Mrs. Asquith SAYS that every re
! porter who has interviewed her ha:
asked her what she things of FLAP
| pers. After so many queries,
| found out, vaguely, what Il flapper Is
but what, pray tell me, has flappel
to do with the important questions OF
the day, Why should waste time dis
cussing IL, flapper!
The writer SAYS that from the bottom
of her heart she wants her country anC
| America to be on friendly terms ant
that she wants to help along the friend
ship; that when she speaks of the diff
ference between English and American
women, she does not do il in spiri

Medical Examiner Believes
Man Was Dead Before
Being Decapitated.
KILLED THEN BEIIEADED

Two small boys hunting mushrooms
In Bronx Park ycsterda, afternoon found
a package containing the head of an
Italian. The package was lying in a
gully among stones about 200 feet north
OF the Bronx River bridge and north
OF tine Pelham Parkway entrance. not
far from the end Of the Botanical Gar
Gems. The head. according to an ex-
animation made by the Medical Exam
iner. had been cut from the body at a
point just below the ear, either with a
sharp knife or with a butchers cleaver
The head was that of a man who had
been dead from twenty-four to forty
eight hours.
The head was wrapped in butchers
paper then in a layer of heavy Manila
paper. and then in copy Of The Italian
newspaper II Popolo dated September
l3, 1922. Then the whole package was
wrapped in a slip of blue and white mat
hess ticking The boys notified Patrol
man Wodrijka OF the Bronx PARK sta
zion and he sent for detectives.
Acting Captain Henry Duane of the
Bronx Park station TOOK cnarge of the
investigation and last night Capt. Ar
thur Carey of the homicide squad of
Headquarters visited the scene. The
detectives searched the whole OF the
north end of the Botanical Gardens and
the outside territory for a considerable
distance but found no other parts of
the body. They believe that the man
was murdered somewhere else and his
head taken to the park.
The head is that of an Italian of
from 20 to 35 years of age. The face
is clean shaven and bears marks which
indicate that the man had been beaten
before being decapitated. None of the
wounds in the head, however. would
have been sufficient to have caused
death. The medical examiner believes
the man was dead before his head was
cut off.
Detectives who are investigating hope
that they may be able to identify the
head by means of two scars. one over
the left eye and the other behind the
left ear.
