Mrs. Asquih Takes Ten
Punches At Americans
BY RUTH

ON TOUR WITH MRS. MARGOT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS has made ten
distinct impressions on Mrs. Margot
Asquith, drawing-room politician.
diarist and lecturer.
And the ten impressions gained by
this famous Englishwoman. the wife
of a former British premier, are not
altogether flattering. Here they are
as she told them to me.
Society
your social life is terrific. You
have fifty guests at dinner and call
it a party. Your hospitality is slight
ly exaggerated.
Women
81 find all women everywhere who
wish to succeed socially are much
the same. They have hearts. brains
yes, it's safe to say bodies-cut
out after the same pattern. So
America surely is not distinctive for
its women who have social ambi-
ions. But among business women
o have a very characteristic ele-
ment, conservative and charming.
However. I don't see how American
business men can employ certain
short-skirted. bare-kneed. rouge
Tipped females who talk too much.
1 find the average young business
man a more poised, more elegant
person than the average business
woman.
I'm your cities. as / have seen
them, / have found no women to
housewife with any degree of cor
rectness. Then where are your
housewives? In the country, of
course. 1 have watched your fine
country homes from train windows
and nave said of this one or that
one, Now, there must be a very
happy home Though, of course,
the furies may be playing within.
Prohibition
prohibition, which / always fav-
ored. is most harmful in its effects,
as / see them in America. Lord Lee
(first lord of the British admiralty
says my statement that there is
drunkenness among American young
people is cruel, ludicrous and un-
true 1 wish it might be at least
the latter. But ] am overwhelmed
with letters from all over America
agreeing with me in this opinion.
American people are dvnamic; they
always will overdo a protest.
jazz
America has a remarkable sense
of rhythm. / have heard little be-
yond your colored melodies (mean-
ing jazz but l like this sort of
melody. 1t is splendid. 1t carries
on. After hearing it / should
say, Not strange that America
moves its feet so fast, and so
much.'

The Abyss
u 81

At Polly's question. where have
you been?" a sudden resentment
came over Paul. He had come
home filed with clear-burnlng loyal
ty to his wife. The concierge's WELL
meant preyarication had been a slap
in the face. Polly's hesitation 10
clearing up the matter was another,
and sharper one. Now she was
looking at him with annoyance. IL
not suspicion. in her eyes. And
something within him hardened and
chilled.
So. too. felt Polly. 1t was evident
that something was troubling Paul.
something he had got from another
source than herself. Sped by Nine.
Dubois suggestion, her mind leaped
to Violet. OF course, Violet Always
Violet, Violet. Violet! necessarily
she came between them. Forever
vexing and harrassing. Hot
anger blazed in Polly's heart. She
had been patient long enough.
ELSEWHERE were you?"
Polly and Paul stood there, eye to
eye, go close. yet with an abyss OPEN
ing between them that must have
made the recording angel weep. 1t
was Paul who broke the tension.

reason whatever to conceal it," He

1t added a fresh stab, his walking
away indifferently. Had they roach
ed the stage. Polly wondered bitter
ly. where sullan silences took the
place of healthy spats? Well, she,
at any rate, could not keep silent.
Her anger against Violet burst
forth.
And she has given you her ver-
sion of the Crassards' party! She
has dared to lie to you-yes, lie, for
the telling of a half truth can be a
lie! Whatever she has told you, 1t
is evident you believe"
why don't you tell me then?"
Paul spoke from the other room. :

Your drama is vigorous; quite
often improper but free from
coarseness. You make a good job
of handling indicate situations DEL
icately., Your American actresses
are more finished, more beautifully
gowned, more convincing than Eng
lish actresses. But Englishmen are
much better on the stage than the
men OF America.
Press
Il don't like your newspapers.
They are too hurried. They even

printed. They pay too little atten-
ton to what l say, and too much to

Your Health
Cleanup
(By DIR. II. IL. Bishop

l found some figures recently
which proved about one-third of the
deaths of persons under forty are
caused by diseases contracted from
filth.
This seems to leave no doubt that
an annual spring cleanup campaign
is of vital importance to every COM
munity of any size. The degree of
immunity during the summer
months will be Influenced by thor
oughness or lack of it in the COM
munity housekeeping.
A city or COMMUNICATIVE clean
UP now may head off an epidemic
Of infantile paralysis this summer.
The battle against this disease is
one conducted for the most part in
the dark. Medical men do not know
exactly how it is spread.
They do know, however. that the
disease has been made less perilous
and extensive in the large cities
where cleanup campaigns have be-
come a regular annual public health
measure. Disease-breeding places
are at this time wiped out Of exist
ence.
Disease-producing germs thrive
best in warmth, dampness and dark
ness. The places furnishing these
conditions should be sought out and
thoroughly cleaned.
Flies are without doubt one of the
greatest spreaders of communicable
diseases. They transport germs
from person to person. A fly killed
In March is equivalent to millions
Killed in August or September.
Mosquitoes also spread disease
and these pests find ideal breeding
places among empty cans. bottles
and broken crockery partly llle1
