Slaves First Before Wives.

Slaves have more rights than wives
or children in an independent African
state of which Ofori Alta is paramount
chief, according to recent revelations
made by a student of Akan law. There
a mans property must remain in his
own clan. His wife can never become
a member of his family or clan, so that
neither she nor her children can in
herit his property. If he chooses. how
ever, the man can make his slave a
member of his family and then can leave
his property to the slave. although law
forbids him to will 1t to his son.

The politicians of South Carolina,

the textile barons the extremely low

consider such a measure seriously, it
is reported. When other laws of bene-
fit to labor came up in the legisla-
ture after a delay of several years,
they were almost unanimously voted
down.

experiment of producing big film in
which all the participants are home
less children. This film which goes
by the title Golden Honey" is al

To find suitable types and artists
for their film, the stage managers of
the studio visited Leningrad night
shelters where one can find homeless
children who cannot be pursuaded to
settle down in children's homes. After
considerable difficulties, the right
types for the film were discovered.
The first stage of the work con-
nected with the production of
"Golden Honey" was full of enor-
nous difficulties. The homeless
children frequently decamped. One
of them ran away in the middle of
the setting of the film and 20 per
