UTILITY N BEAUTY.

WYE learn from the New York
w Herald that the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
has been planting rambler roses
over the steep sides of their cut
banks on the right-of-way in order
to prevent erosion of the banks.
Thus they combine beauty with
utility. The Herald says:
Experiments have proved that
nothing prevents soil erosion on
steep banks more effectually than
the rambler roses. These decora-
tive plants spread their root system
over large areas, are sturdy in cane
growth and establish a mat over a
wider surface than any other avail
able plant. These roses are highly
ornamental, a fact impressed on all
travellers over the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railway. The
right-of-way is made gay with
blankets of red and pink blooms
wherever soil erosion is to be fear
ed. In the rocky cuts a curtain OF
color gives a picturesque touch to
the surroundings that under ordin-
ary circumstances do not reward
the search for the beautiful. The
green of the shelving banks pre-
sents a harmonious background tor
the bright roses whose luxuriant
Towering bespeaks the care with
which they are tended. Many rail-
roads have beautified their rights
of-way and station grounds. Flow
ers and shrubs are maintained at
most of their stations. especially
in suburban communities and i'm
portant towns in which land is
not too high in price. In this work
the climbing rose almost invari-
ably plays a part, but it is not for
beauty alone that it is used on cuts
and on steep banks. In such plant
ings it holds the soil fast, checks
earth slides and contributes to the
safety of the road. The roses de-
light the travellers eye in the BIOS
soming season and protect his life
II months in the year"

old masters discovered By a British
rector in an old unused room of his
rectory. The rector, according to the
story. had come upon this remarkable
room through an ancient sliding panel,
which he had never suspected was a
part of his home. Entering the room
somewhat gingerly, he had found the
paintings. which British art critics de-
clared to be genuine. One of them was
a four-Oak PLAGUE. covered with years
of dust. which when brushed off. re-
vealed a perfect example of Rubens
at his greatest period.

ST was a good story" said the
dealer drvly. but ! had heard plenty
like it before. Nevertheless this par
ticular one happened to be true, and
if I'd believed it I'd have secured a
great bargain. That PLAGUE is worth
$150,000 now.
You know, that's what makes our
business SO fascinating" he wen on
ruminativeiy, the chance in a hundred
that we'll get hold of something genu-
inc for little or nothing. Such things
can and do happen even nowadays. A
real Gilbert Stuart has come suddenly
to light in the past month. and | have
a friend who recently bought what he
thought was Il Gezanne copy for a small
sum. only later to discover that it was
a valuable original. Among all the
fakes spread out like so many traps
in Europe there's apt to be n that
is worth a mint of money. That's why
so many of us are practically European
nut now, If we find n old
master in a lifetime, it's enough to
make or double our fortune.
Take The Red Cap one Of the
most important pictures in the Frick
collection he said. That picture
was peddled through the streets of
London about 10 years ago by some
unknown tramp. who carried it under
his arm. wrapped in newspaper. He
asked 30 pounds for it and was laughed
at. Finally. Sir Hugh Lane discovered
il in a dingy London auction room. took
il home and cleaned it. and found it
was a Titan. The late Mr.. Frick
bought it from him at a stiff price.
But of course this sort OF thing
doesn't happen so often rs it used to.

dollars of American private capital
invested in Russia has been confis-
Gated and stolen. The soviet gov
eminent is ready to promise to pay
this back to the American owners
some time in the future when they
can afford it, provided American
capitalists send them more OF their
capital as a loan. A few private
capitalists might be tempted on &C
count of the enormous wages tend
cred by the soviet government as
interest to buy their bonds or prom
Uses to pay in the future. But no
great sum could be raised that way.
The risk is too great to tempt big
capital, even with unheard Of inter-
est rates nov prevailing in Moscow
for loans.
And if the Russian loan cannot
be floated in the United States, no
other country can supply it because
they have not got it. Most Of them
want to borrow themselves from
Uncle Sam instead of lending to
Russia. The American bankers de-
clined to lend to Germany because
her security was not good enough.
II was far better than anything
Russia has to offer. The proposed
Russian loan is doomed in advance.

THE OF WOMEN,

ONCE women have acquired full
~ citizenship some rather queer
questions of law have come up.
For instance, where a man has Sc
cured a divorce from a wife who
owns property while he has none,
and is unable to earn his w liv-
ing, is he entitled to alimony? That
question has been raised and is be-
ing discussed pro and O quite
heatedIy by some m The
other day a man sued a woman for
breach of promise of marriage
claiming a large sum as solace tor
his wounded affections. This is
not a solitary case. 1t has been
done a number of times. and we be-
lievc the courts have held that in
such cases the blighted male has
a good cause of action. W. do not
remember, however, of any case in
which they recovered any substan-
tial sum, though we do recall some
cases in which a cent or a dollar
damages was awarded them as balm
for their lacerated hearts.
We have not heard any advocate
of feminine equality before the law
urge a change in the statute giving
the husband the same dover right
in the wife's property that the law
gives the wife in the husbands
property. but probably some lady
will insist on this in order to put
woman on a perfect equality with
man before the law.
The old English common law
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-07-04

presumed that the husband was re-
sponsible for his wife's acts, and
we learn from the Manitoba Free
Press that this principle vas sue
cessfully pleaded in a case of crime
in Great Britain not long ago. The
Canada newspaper says:
Recently in England a Capt.
Peel and his wife were charged
with obtaining money under false
pretenses from some forty book
makers. The method employed
consisted in misdating kilograms
placing bets. which kilograms were
actually sent after the results of
the races were known. Capt. Peel
was found guilty and convicted.
His wife, who was shown to have
an active and intelligent interest in
the swindling operations. was tried
but was found not guilty by the
jury, according to the direction OF
Mr.. Justice Darling, who told them
that Mrs. Peel must be held to have
committed the offense under the
compu!sion of her husband and that
she was thereby absolved from all
guilt. This was a surprising view
to take in view of recent legisla-
ton establishing equality between
the sexes, but the existence of the
old rule in England cannot be ques-
toned. 1t is stated legislation will
be introduced to repeal it. No such
presumption arises in Canada. Our
code provides in section FL: No
presumption shall be made that a
married woman committing an Of
Tense does so under compulsion be-
cause she commits it in the pres
ence Of her husband This provi-
sion first came into our law in the
criminal code passed in 1892. With
reference to it Mr.. Justice Tasch-
ereau, who published the first work
on the code Of 1898, says: This
alters the law. All ~offenses COM
mitted by a married woman in pres
ence of her husband, except high
treason and murder, were presumed
to have been committed under CO.
ercion.'"
The position of married women
before the law in the United States
has generally been regulated by
statute, and for the most part these
statutes have been framed for the
protection of the women, ra her
than the men, though they were
made by men.

New York City. July Most OF
Europe's industries are rapidly regain
ing their pre-war strength, but there
is one which shows a tendency to
languish indefinitely. That is the
business of manufacturing old masters
to sell to American collectors. 1t
isn't being successfully done this
season.
Since the war. SO many genuine
masterpieces have been placed on the
market by the impoverished nobility of
Europe that Americans have learned to
be f%astidious. A painting has to have
exceptional merit before they will
show any interest in it. At the same
time. such a tremendous flood of fake
paintings and other art objects has
been let loose in Europe that they
have learned to be cautious. They are

Games Last Night

The Goodwill Club COPIED three
games in a bowling match with the
Lincoln Engine Company alley rep
resentatives on the Argonne alleys
last night. All three games were
bitterly contested throughout and it
is probable a return match will be
rolled at an early date.
In the first game the GoodwiIls
rolled 722. forty-six pins better than
heir opponents and in the second
game the winning team rolled 728,
two pins better than the Lincolns.
The third game was decided by
twenty-seven pins, the Jefferson
street club members rolling 1872.
Harry Apologize of the Lincolns
carried off high score and high ave-
rage honors in this match, rolling
156, 216 and 1876 for an average of
1885,. Henry Holzheimer of the win
ming team was second high average
man, his average for the three games
being 156.
Both teams used seven or eight
players each in this match, the re-
spective managers desiring TO cop
the opening match. There was a big
turnout for these games which were
rolled as the prelim to the Argonne-

Back on their home field again
the Beauvais Post American Legion
football team of Tottenville will
endeavor to eliminate another con-
tender from the running for the
football championship of Staten
Island this Sunday afternoon.
The strong Stats Post American
Legion eleven of Rosebank, S. l.,

two teams last year.
Prior to their visit to College
Point, where they encountered a

warriors, the Tottenyille team OF
Coach Wilburn was piling up a
string of victories. The showing of
his team against the College Point
club has not d~isheartened Coach
Wilburn who claims that his players
will be ont to continue their home
field winning streak in the game
with the Rosebank aggregation.
Commander Thomson of Beauvais
Post made an announcement this
week regarding a booking with the
Roosevelt Field Club eleven of Tot
tenville and no reply has been made
by the borough manager to the re-
quest of the legion commander.

FAILS TO SHOW CLASS

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 16.-Jess
Willard made his first public ring
appearance last night since the day
three years ago when Jack Demp-
sey wrested his heavyweight box
ing title from him.
In the opinion of sport writers
the big Kansan failed to show
championship form.

each with Tom Kennedy and Joe
Bonds, Los Angeles Eeavyweights as
the feature of a boxing program
given at the Hol,ywood-American
Legion stadium for the benefit of
the Assistance League for ex-ser-
vice men.-
Willard received a. rausing recep-
ton. His TWO, npponents, although
large men, looked small beside him.
Kennedy made the better showing,
swinging four or five hard rights to
the jaw but Willard merely smiled
and retaliated mildly.
Willard was quick on his feet and
his rapid firing as one writer ex-
pressed it gave one the idea he
was not far from being in fair fight
