Buying Wives ON Credit

IN HAPPY pre-war days the average South African negro could
> readily procure the nuncbcr Of cows necessary for the purchase
of a wife or of wives, but that woodworking struggle doubled
the price demanded and now more COWS are required than ever.
Moreover, a mysterious shortage in cattle" is reported, which
further adds to the difficulties confronting the wife-seeker in that
part of the world. How serious is the present situation may be
gathered from a London dGratch recently which reads:
MANY natives of Pondoland, South Africa, are likely to lose
wives purchased on extended credit in the last three years, because
they say they are unable to complete their payments. The pur-
chase of wives on credit is not usually permitted among the ma
tives, as there is too much inclination to return the wives in lieu
of the purchase price, but a matrimonial moratorium has been in
effect during the period Of mourning for the death Of a para
mount chief. This period is now over and natives who obtained
wives on credit must pay up or return the women to their par
entail kraals."
There is nothing to indicate whether the goods" thus bought
on the mstallment plan are regarded as damaged when returned
to the parental kraal in default of payment. If there can be a
second sale for as many or almost as many cows as in the first
place, obviously the damage is regarded as slight, if any. Ac-
curate information on this interesting point appears to be lacking.

HUNTS DAILY

BY HARRY 3. HUNT
WASHINGTON.-Tbe cost Of :

WASHINGTON.-The cost Of counting
isn5t 50 high in love as it in politics.
Despite current rates on candy,
flowers and theater tickets, the tax On
ambitious young suitors is nowise cam
parable to the outlay that must be made
by the ambitious "old boys anxious to
make a hit in the courts Of Europe.
1t costs approximately 500, 0OO a yea;
for an American to qualify for the title.
"Fcrmer ambassador to the court Of
st. Planes, for instance. The title.
Former ambassador to France costs
almost as much.
In a nutshell that is the reason the
tenure Of our diplomatic" representa-
tives in the major capitals abroad il
comparatively short. George Harvey had
enough Of it in London after a little
ever two years.
Frank Kellogg, former senator and
"tru~st-buster" from Minnesota, is re-
ported as DESTROYS of getting out from
under the expense, although he has
not yet served a year. n
Myron t. Herrick, Cleveland multi
millionaire, to whom the cost Of being
ambassador is no financial hardship. Is
the only ambassador to any Of the
major courts Of Europe in recent years
who has been able cr has cared TO hold
his post for any extended term.
Financial independence is. therefore.
a determining one in the selection Of
ambassadors. And it is one Of the
qualifications that has brought the sug-
g~esticn Of Medill Mccormick, lame-duck
senator from Illinois, az a possible sue
cessor to Kellogg at the court Of st.
James.
Mccormick, slender, rather lanky,
sandy-haired scion Of the immensely
wealthy Mccormick and Medill families

the cost Of admission to Dc super-diplo-
matte set.

hold the social essentials Of the post.
In a way, an ambassadorship for Nc
Cormick seems to be "in the cards. T"
His father had a long record in the di-
plomatic service and it is felt that this
increases his eligibility.
Robert Mccormick, father of the sem
ator was the first United States am
bassador to Austrian-Hungary. Later he
was ambassador to Russia for three
years and served in a similar capacity
in Paris, as ambassador TO France, from
1905 to 1907.
Gossip in Washington political circles
has it that Senator McCormick's chance
at an ambassadorship. after his term
expires March 4, depends largely on
C~oolidge's willingness to forget and
forgive"
These stories have it that the Illinois
senator was not favorably inclined to
the Coolidge candidacy for reelection
and that when he was invited to help
line up Illinois delegates for Coolidge,
prior to the Cleveland convention, he
declared that Coolidge could neither be
nominated nor elected.
The immediate result Ct this is de-
