FRENCH WOMEN SLAVES

There is a feminist movement on
foot in France, where an attempt is
being made to raise the mothers,
wives and daughters of that country
to social and political equality with
men. The average Frenchman con-
siders himself lord and master" and
he will not give up his rights and
privileges under the law without a
struggle. Some idea of the French
statutes may be gained when we re-
call that after Anna Gould obtained
a divorce from Count Boni de Castel-
lane, the courts over there compelled
her to support the father and mother
of the worthless count.
The married woman in France is
little better thu a slave, IL the law Is
strictly interpreted. Even when par
lament revised the marriage laws in
1919 it refused to ~abrogate the arti-
Gle of the code imposing or the wife
absolute obedience to her husband or
to modify another article compelling
her to follow her lord and master
everywhere at his good pleasure.
A Frenchman is entitled to call in
military help to fetch his wife back
to his residence II she fees the con-
jugal home. Or in such a case he
may refuse to contribute a cent to
her living expenses, and even seize
her personal income, II she has one.
In the matter of misconduct, wo-
men have a grievance in the differ
ence of treatment of the offending
persons. An erring wife may be sent
to prison for two years, whereas a
faithless husband is only liable to a
fine. The law gives the husband a
right to read his wife's personal cor
respondence and there is no reciproc-
ity.
In other respects the code places
married women on the same plane
as minors and insane persons. They
may not enter into contracts, sign a
lease, buy, sell or mortgage. On the
other hand, except in cases where the
couple were married according to a
regime of separation of property"
the husband may sell or dispose of
their joint belongings, or property,
including the wife's. as he wills. I'm
known, perhaps, to the victim, he
may ruin her completely.
In the matter of authority over the
children also, French law is all on
the side of the man. The father
alone exercises real and legal control
of the offspring. He alone decides
matters pertaining to their educa-
ton, their trades or professions-in
a word. he exercises all power oyer
them, even If he be a drunkard or
morally incapable.
Feminist leaders recall that Napo-
leon, who gave the present code to
France, once said: Mature has
made women our slaves" and they
insist that the time has come to
emancipate woman and free her from
the last vestige Of slavery so c~ynically
imposed upon her.

BooTLECcINC ORE
ON ALASKA BORDER

The most profitable industry in
Alaska Is bootiegging ORE" remarked
Governor Joe Hutchison in the Mig
pah hotel.
Never heard Of 1t. Ell? Down
here in Nevada a miner does not have
TO do that kind of business to collect
the Government pay for honest Amer
lean silver, but up at the new Pre-
mfer mine in Alaska the boundary
line runs right through the heart OF
the producing district with a divide
marking Uncle Sans side from that
of the Canadians. They are mining
on both sides of the divide and the
Canadians are trying to run their ore
into the American side so that II will
pass for American-mined product.
That's what | call bootlegging In ore.
but II takes a daring adventure to
land the stuff on the American side"
The Governor is interested in the
new district where he spent the great
er part of the Summer and will go
back in the Spring.-Tonopah Times.

The deepest mine in the world is
that of the st. John Del Rey Mining
Co., Ltd. at MORO Velho. Brazil,
which has reached a vertical depth of

great depth is not attained by one
shaft but by a series of five, staggered
to follow the As deg. pitch of the lode
with which it is connected by cross
cuts. At the Ooregum mine. in In
dia, a depth of over $500 IT. has

British Leader Is Dead
Long a Power in the Political and Public Affairs
of England, Sue cumbs to Illness

refused, for already the lure of the
printing business was upon him.
Upon his arrival in London at an
early age Northcliffe secured a minor
post upon a half magazine and half
newspaper answering letters to cor
respondents. This gave him an Idea
so he started the weekly Answers"
a periodical with a particular appeal
to its readers. In time he acquired
Tit Bits a publication of similar
kind. and then decided to go into the
legitimate newspaper profession. He
kept adding to his publications un-
til he had a virtual monopoly of the
popular papers of England.
Northcliffe found the publishing
business a lucrative one and his for
tune IA estimated at about $780,
000, 900. He had a never ending
flow OF ideas and virtually revolu-
tionized newspaper customs in Lon
don. He added many of the most at
tractive features of the American
newspapers to those of the English
journals.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE
In appearance Northcliffe some
what resembled Napoleon. He was
short and stout with a massive head
and broad high forehead. 1t was
claimed that he was a slave driver
towards his subordinates, but in ex-
tenuation 1t could be said for him
that he never asked any one to work
harder for him than he worked him.
self.
49,
The following description ofNorth-
cliffe as a lad was given by one who
had known him all his life:
I'm 1881 he was a bright enough
boy. his relatives and school teach
ers admitted. but his head was full
of vargaries. He had a good chance
to become a barrister like his father,
but he was more interested in play
ing with a printing press and editing
the school paper. He was always
throwing away golden opportunities
to take up some crazy notion. But
he was headstrong and would have
his own way in the end. He said he
was going to London to become a
newspaper man and he declared that
he was going to be a successful one,
too. 1t seemed too bad then but no
n could stop him."
Viscount Northcliffe was married
in 1886 to Miss Mary Elizabeth Mil
ner, but left no heir.

THE PROHIBITION POLL

The prohibition poll" now being
conducted by the Literary Digest is
attracting countrywide attention.
The summary in the latest issue of
the Digest shows hat OF a total OF
6l7,83S ballots received, 1853 of
those voting favored prohibition pure
and simple. Those who favor a mod
ifeation OF the Volstead law to per-
nit light wines and beer numbered
253.O09. while those desiring repeal
of the prohibition amendment totaled
12S,5O0. Adding the number of bal
lots favoring repeal to those ~favoring
modification, we have ~3S1.509. Sub
tracing the 236,329 straight prohi-
bition votes. we have conclusive evil
dence Of the strong trend of public
sentiment against retaining the pro-
hibition act in its present form. This
trend Is more plainly indicated In
Utah than in some of the other States.
says the Salt Lake Tribune. the re-
suit Of the poll up to the present
time being as follows. For the law
as It stands. 4S9; for modification to
permit light wines and beer, 676;
for repeal. 291, the heaviest vote be-
ing East for modification.
Few people believe that the prohi-
bition Law will be repealed. Many of
these same people. however. are of
the opinion that the law should be
modified and will vote that way IL
they have the opportunity. Those
who favor repeal may also be count
cd upon to support modification. So
It seems to be highly probable that
the big drive against prohibition will
be for modification and not for re-
peal.
