Sweden Changes Old
Inheritance Rules

Ancient rules of inheritance are radi-
cally changed by new law Just passed
in the Swedish Parliament. Sweden Is
thus the first Western European coun-
try to suppress the old established right
OF succession.
The new law acknowledges as natural
heirs only direct descendants, then
parents and their brothers and sisters
and grandparents; also the brothers
and sisters of the deceased and their
children. The right to dispose of
property by will was, of course. left In
tact, not even Socialists daring TO touch
such an important matter. But even
so, money that would have in case Of
intestacy gone to distant relations will
henceforth be going to a special state
fund set up for child welfare and for
the care of orphans and sick children.

ress also stops, and the mind which
ceases to learn is a dead mind. Great
periods in history, such as the renais-
sance in Italy or the EliZabethan era
in England, we're times of intense, ner-
vous curiosity. They were times OF
learning and not for the sake Of what
practical results would come from 1t.
A project on smaller and less inten-
sive scale is that sponsored by the
American Federation of Art and
financed by the Carnegie Corporation
in Cedar Rapids Iowa, a typical mid
Western city with large foreign popu-
lation, mostly of Czechoslovakians.
Two experts have been placed in Cedar
Rapids to test out the place Of art in
the lives of the mass of the people.
But in all this the vocational educa-
tion of the adult has not been forgotten
Opportunities have been increased
everywhere by means of correspond
encc courses, evening classes and Spc-
cial schools and museums established
by the industries. State universities
have begun to reach out from their
campuses into the farms and factories
and are teaching everything from psy-
chology to plumbing.
The Massachusetts, State Department
of Education was a leader in this move
ment. Workers in the Bay State now
can take up the intensive study OF
almost any subject they wish, with
expert assistance, without leaving their
homes. The mail-box university has
been placed on high stage of eff
cheney.

Statehood for Hawaii
Seen i'm Island Progress

Steady progress toward statehood
for this territory Is seen by Gov Wal
lace r. harrington, who has just re-
turned 10 Honolulu from an official
visit to Washington Always a stanch
advocate of local self-government. he
believes that the territory has made
marked advances in winning governing
powers, and in getting some of the privi-
leges which Congress deals out TO
States as a matter of course.
He feels also that sentiment is grow
ing in national circles that Hawaii Is
solidly founded on American political,
social and economic principles.
During the last few years Hawaii has
been granted larger and larger partici-
patton in Federal aid" funds on the
same basis as those funds are parceled
out among the States. simultaneously,
this territory has identified itself more
and more emphatically as an integral
part of the Union, not colony or a
possession"

something unusual in this country, but
in Norway it is frequently a privilege
granted to benefactors to choose any
part of the church property for a re-
ligious ceremony. 1t has been suggested
that no lovelier spot for wedding,
especially in Spring or Autumn, could
be found than that about the Cathedral
Of IS. Peter and Paul. The nuptial
scene for Mr.. Bergen and his bride was
set apart by tubbed palms and flower
ing oleanders, and the arches of roses
already in place were decorated with
genuine buds and sprigs of white
clematiS, which gave an exquisite and
natural appearance to the scene.
Mr.. Joseph James Tunney's home
outside of Greenwich, Conn, is now one
of the attractions of that charming re-
sort, and of equal interest is that of
Mrs. George Lauder, jr., whose pretty
daughter, Mary Josephine is to become
the bride Of the scholarly boxer. These
estates lie side by side, and a close
friendship, if not something warmer,
has existed between Mr.. Tunney and
Miss Lauder all this time, which Is now
more than four years. The Tunney
estate was a show place of Greenwich
and was owned by Mrs. Clara Louise
White, who, some 20 years ago, had
purchased about 10 acres of heavily
timbered rolling land and then en-
ployed the most renowned landscape
gardeners to arrange flower plots,
sunken gardens pools and rock gardens.

just as willing to wait until the diligent

At the end Of the first half hour

Covering and trade buying was
induced by the large spot sales of
