Slavery I'm The Empire.
RECOGNISED BY LAW IN SIERRA
LEONE.

Slavery is still recognised by law with
in The British Empire. This amazing
let eE.etGcs from q decIsion Of the
Supreme Court Of Sierra Leone, the de-
tails OF which have just reached this
country.
Two slaves escaped from their masters
in the FTu;Cct0Iate Of Sierra Le0ne-nOt
to be confused with the actual Colony of
Sierra Leone, where slavery Ia all forms
has already been abolished.
Their masters recaDtured them by
force. and an action was brought against
the masters for the amount o. personal
assault involved in the |recapture. The
Supreme Court Of Sierra Leone, by a ma
JOrIty OF two judges out OF three, upheld
The right Of the masters to recapture the
slaves within the Protect0rate by he use
al such force as was necessary. The two
Judges who gave this ruling based i on
the argument that slavery had long
listed iG the PrCtectCrate and had never
been abolished, ana that while slavery
existed and Vas recognised by law the
right Ci a easter to fecaptuTe the body
OF an absc0uding slave must also be re-
cOgnisad.
Apparently it was the intention Of the
Sierra Leone Legislative Council, by a
Protectorate ordinance which came Into
effect u March of last year, TO abolish
al legal status for slavery ia the ProJec-
torate, but the drafting OF the ordinance
aid not achieve this purpose.
This is The view taken by Sir Frederick
Lugara, The authority on African admin
isLration, who abolished slavery IN Hige-
ria and is nov the British representative
on the Commission of the League OF Ma
tions which has been dealing with ques-
lions Oh slavery aud forced Iabour.

 Levine, his pilot Captain Walter Hinchcliffe and their passenger. Prince Louis Ferdinand of Orleans all escaped injury. The mishap, was caused by faulty fuel feed, which necessitated a perilous landing in which the Columbia barely missed several high tension wires and came to rest, partly capsized, with a smashed landing gear, only ten feet from a deep ditch.
 The wealthy amateur pilot and sportsman after the accident said eloomily: T guess I might as well pack up and 20 home" He added, however, that ne would endeavor to carry out his intention Of dropping a watch by parachute over Villa Carpena, Mussolini's country home, for the premier's baby son, Romano.
 Before starting on the unfortunate flight yesterday Levine let 1t be known that he was negotiating with two Italian airplane companies for the construction Of seven-engine machine capable Of carrying 50 pas sengers, for use In his protected transatlantic aerial service. r. the negotiations fell through, he would erect a plant Of his own, probably at Milan.

WOMAN MORE LIKE
 MONKEY THAN MAN
Says Eminent British Anatolnist
 at Oxford University

London, Oct. E (P,-Woman re- sembles the ape more than does man, at least so it seems to Dr, Ar thur Thomson eminent British anatomist. professor in that science at Oxford university since 1893.
 Before the Royal academy last night. Dr. Thomson said the basis TOT his statement was that woman's legs are usually shorter, and her arms longer, than mans.
 It Is only conceit which makes mankind believe it is not descended from the ape, he continued. AL though generations have brought great changes in anatomy, the simi- larities are too great to be ignored. Furthermore, he contended, a baby, until it can walk, resembles the ape In nearly every respect"
 Another blow at the fair sex was taken by Prof, (. W. Valentine Of Birmingham who, in addressing the British Science association recently, asserted that women are not good q, wonderful power of self deception.
 "Woman insists, by some remark able gift of self deception, in Contin- ulng to think her husband the fine noble fellow who flashed across her ken early in their association" he said. Actual experience would be expected to destrCJ that illusion"
 As for woman's much vaunted in tuition, he coutended that this was not much better than her logic. He told of tests in which photographs of editors, dramatists and murder CTS had been submitted to women with the request that they choose the ones which they judged to have the greater moral qualities. They picked more murderers than literary men, according to the professor.

SUMMERTIME
Linden Blossoms,
BY d. G. PEATTIE.

Beloved of the bees, the lindens
come into flower with the reign Of
the warm. long days and heavy-sweet
is the odor that they cast out upon
the Summer air. How many coun-
tries love the linden-Germany first,
perhaps. but surely France, too, and
Sweden has so dearly cherished 1t
that in the eighteenth century craze
for changing family names. many
a. Swedish family adopted the lin
or Linden. There was Jenny Lind,
the singer, and Linnaeus, father
Of botany. whose family owned a
linden from which it is said a Dough
could not be cut without some MEM
Der of the family dying. And how
about Charles Lindbergh? Inter
den Linden Is the great garden of
the kaisers.
How few people seem to know that
In America are more kinds Of linden
than anywhere else in the world ?
Europe has but one. We have per-
haps a dozen or more species. And
one and all they hold strange fas-
cination for the botanist, for the
flower stalk adheres to bract that
is half a papery wing, half a thick
veiny leaf. l know of no other flower
that has quite this appendage. 1t
seems to be an experiment that ma
ture tried once and failed to repeat.
But to the most casual observer it
Is plain that such a. thing acts like
a parachute to the seed pods, en-
aiding them to glide far.
OF all cities, Washington has more
lindens than any l have yet seen.
Green, shady and very cool are the
linden lined streets these days.

Elbow Creams.

Some parts OF your body can stand
very thick cream; other parts are
irritated by it. You could not put
too heavy a cream on your face
for instance, especially this warm
weather-without having the SKIN
break out in little marks. You can
put very heavy grease, full of tar
and antiseptics. on the scalp. and the
heavier it is the better the hair seems
to like it-unless you should stand for
some hours in a hot sun with hat
on; then the heavy cream would irri-
tate the scalp. But as far as that
goes, just the heat would irritate the
scalp under hot felt hat.
The elbows will take any sort of
heavy cream and be grateful for it.
Petroleum, lard or any Of its vegetable
oil substitutes. cold cream. melted

little difference. The skin of the elbow
gets unnaturally dry and needs feed

doesn't matter what is fed.
My advice is to use two kinds Of
cream. Use a nourishing cold cream
for nighttime, after you've scrubbed
your elbows and before you go to bed.
Rub this in well and wipe off what's
or the surface. If you can't afford

Tendency Toward Culotte Skirts
BY MARY MARSHALL.
cation to find something really new to

cation to find something really new to
wear" said a woman the other day.
1t is Just because most of us take
this passive attitude, play the role OF
sheep following a leader, that fashions
worry along in much the same rut.
And for some reason or other we all
seem to be in particularly passive
mood regarding fashions at the pres
emit time. We sigh for something
really new, something different, frocks
and hats and hair arrangements that
will show off our charms in new
ways-yet not one woman in a thou
sand Is willing to wear anything
really new
We seem to have come to a dead
lock. Skirts have become as short
az possible, yet not one wants to wear
them long again, even for the sake OF
variety. We have grown weary of
the monotnoy of short hair, yet we
dread the inconvenience of letting it
grow again and of the old struggle
with hairpins. We have rung the
changes with the comfortable chemise
or sheath type of frock-we long for
clothes that will reveal more of the
natural curves OF the body-yet we
fear more closely fitted frocks would
be less wearable, less comfortable.
The next real novelty in dress fash
ions-one authority on such matters
assures us--will be the culotte skirt.
Women won't wear long skirts again
at least not soor-and they can't wear
them shorter. Yet there is something
unattractive about the short skirt that
rides up TO show bare skin or a
glimpse of lingerie. The culotte skirt
a little ST ocking though it may
seen1--will be move in the direction
of greater modesty. A number Of the
most prominent Of French dress
makers have been experimenting with
skirts OF this sort-and for Autumn
we shall undoubtedly see many of
them. For sports wear there are
culotte skirts with removable pleated
panels that may be snapped into posi-
ton at the front. For actual sports
wear the panel may be disca rded.
Then there are evening frocks made
with the culotte construction of the
skirt. The line OF division is entirely
or partly hidden by means of clever
arrangements of drapery or panels at
the front.
