WOULD END BUYING
 QF YOUNG BRIDES
France Moves Slowly h Chang ing Old Algerian Custom

AIgiers. July 19 LP}-Buying and selling of wives is soon to be abol- ished from the kabyle "kanouns, " or customs. the code of traditions that governs the social life of sever al million natives. This is the first of the age-old native practices to be recommended for return by a mixed commission.
 A bill to translate this into law is before the French parliament with every prospect that it will be adopted. There are many other changes contemplated but it is the intention to go slowly for two req sons, first, because France pledged her word she would not interfere with native customs; second. be- cause she would invite trouble by upsetting native life.
 Revolutionary as it is. the pro- posed flaw of betrothal" merely re- quires a declaration of intent by the bride and groom or their families and fixes the minimum age at 15.
 The custom. which dates back farther than history goes, requires that the man buy the bride from her father or nearest male relative. She may be delivered to her hus- band by force.
 The Kabyle woman, often sold into marriage when only seven years old, has no property rights. except that she may own the clothes she is wearing,
 Her husband can divorce her by repeating three times, T repudiate you' and he may set ransom on her. without payment Of which she can not rcmarry The wife can not "repudiate" her husband. She only can flee 10 her fathers house and remain there Fin a state Of inSur- rcction."
 The husband clothes and feeds his wife as he wishes; no complaint by her will be heard by the Caid, or chief officer of the local assem- 1 bly, who dispenses justice. The children belong to the father If the wife is repudatod. she lose all relationship with them
 If the husband dies the wife goos to his heir, as part of his property
 Many native leaders, conversant radical reforms, but it is on their advice that the French propose to go slowly

 SALE IS APPROVED Title to Blue Hills Tract Clear,
 Woodruff Says
 S2,765.67 IS APPROPRIATED Tnf ta
Increase in Communicable Diseases and Payment of Back Bills Causes of Extra ENpcnsc-Legion Outing Plan-Berlin Items.

The voters attending the town meeting last night at the town hall approved the appropriations request ed in the call for the meeting. The three projects that were disposed of at the meeting were as follows: Ad- ditional sums for the health officer and the outside poor account and the empowering of the selectmen to sell the old Blue Hills school.
 It was brought out that an in crease of contagious diseases in the town during the past Winter was re- sponsible for the additional sum ask ed for by Dr. R. NJ. Grswold, town health officer. Inspection and quar- antine of the families with cases of disease was responsible for the eX- c"eding of the budget. The amount asked by the official was S265.67, which will pay bills and take care of expenses for the rest of the year.
 An additional appropriation of s250o was asked for hy the town solectmen for the outside poor fund. T. was disclosed that about s1950 of the amount appropriated for the account was spent in the payment of back bills before the present fiscal year began and the present select men took office. They have paid up additional back bills, some of them three and four years old, and asked that the additional money be given them so still more old bills can be paid and the new bills met, This was passed by the voters, and the money will be appropriated SO that by the end of the year there will be no old bills left against the outside poor account
 The permission of the voters was granted empowering the Selectmen to sell the old Blue Hills school house to the highest bidder, The property is not being used by the town for any purpose. and it was thought best that the town realise any money that could be gotten for the structure.
 Title to Land Clear
 Asked by a voter present if the deeds for the property were clear and in nossession of the town. Town Clerk Woowruff answered that the deeds were in possession of the town and that they showed that the prop ertv was sold to the fourth school district of the town clear of all en- cum berances. The deed is d1ted about 1860. the property having been bought from Truman Cowles. then the owner of the property. The land is "bounded on the east and north hv a stone wall. on tho south and west by the highway" It is doubted if there are any traces of the wall, but the size of the plot is given by tha deed. about 16 square rods.
 Asked as 10 the value of the prop arty. First SeleCtman Leon C. Hall stated that the value was not known and that the land and building would ne sold 10 the highest bidder al though there would he no actual auction of the property as far as he knew.
 IL is understood that Perry Stew ens, owner Of the adjoining land. would purchase the lot if his price was accerted, There have been Sev- sral men looking at the land and it B thought that there will be little

does come into political life, he will
merely be taking step back In history.
The four Georges were open supporters
of n political party.
If the prince ever enters the political
arena. it may safely be predicted that he
will not be violent revolutionary. He
is not the type ever likely to think that
by turning the whole social and eco
nomic structure upside down he will
benefit his country. He would be act
uated in all he did by patriotism and
he probably would have behind him the
support of the sancst and most progress
sive opinion in England.
Should the prince become prince re-
gent, he would be read OF in history
very differently from the last English
prince who was regent. There will be
no Mrs. Fitzherberts.
Without i'll any way 1attering the
Prince of Wales. history probably will
record of him that he was the best type
of English gentleman.

ladies most likely would be abolished
But looking at the future of the prince,
one can visualize him doing things of
far more Importance than merely SIM
plifying court dress.
The prince does not accept the view
that poverty and unemployment are
necessary evils of the existing social
system. and cannot be remedied or re-
moved Rut the princes opinions on
this subject he has kept to himself, for
to have uttered them publicly would
certainly have brought him into con-
tiict with some political party
The really interesting question con-
corning the future Of the prince is
whether he will always remain silent on
political affairs. Will the consideration
that. by giving public utterance to his
private opinions and convictions he
might endanger the monarchy, keep
him from opening his mouth?
May Become Party Leader.
Oldfashioned people about the court
showed tendency to regard his visit
to the distressed miners in the North of
England as a step leading the prince
toward dangerous grounds. When. a
couple Of years ago. the prince visited
the poor districts in the East End of
London, he formed views that, publicly
uttered, would have brought him into
the conflict of politics. He kept silent :;
but some who know the prince init
mately believe that the time is coming
when he will no longer do SO.
1t well may be that in the not too
distant future the prince will make a
far bigger breakaWay from all the con-
ventions of royalty than he has yet done,
and become the supporter, perhaps the
leader. of a political party.
There is not the slightest doubt that
if the prince does SO. 1t will become a
tremendous force and influence in Eng
lish public life. After all, If the prince
