Wives in London's
Slums Want Wage
AsHousekeepers
Demand as Condition Of Polit.
ical Votes Weekly Wages
From Husbands

London, April 22.-(R)-Wives In
the East End Of London are demand
Ing as condition Of their political
votes, that they be entitled by law
to weekly wages from their husbands.
At present they are unprotected In
this respect.
They contend that they are unpaid
housekeepers and that many do not
know what their husbands earn, or
how much they will receive for
housekeeping at the end Of the week,
II anything.
Police court missionaries and Off.
GERS OF the National Society Tor the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children
agree that In the industrial areas
especially, many husbands do not
play the game" with their wives who
often have to congregate at the fac
tories on payday in an effort to OBJ
tain money for their own and their
children's food and clothing.
Hundreds of wives, the women
point out, solve the problem by get
ting separations from their husbands
on grounds Of neglect, desertion or
cruelty. AS q result OF maintenance
orders from the courts they are bet
ter off economically than the wives
who remain with their husbands. The
law protects the separated wife, but
not the wife who tries to keep her
home intact.
The men argue that unsatisfactory
nousekeepers can be dismissed, but
that q bad wife is a fixture.

THE commission" Williams said,
"found the present rates unreason-
able. They found that the rates now
in effect are not uniform. They es-
tablished basic scale which not only
brings many reductions, but will put
all North and South Dakota cities on
a fair and equitable basis in ship
ments Of fruit from this southwestern
territory.
This is why the reductions are 50
varied, being much more In some in
stances than in others. This Is re-
Election Of the inequitable system,
These reductions will amount to APP
proximately 500 per car to such cities
as jamestown, Valley City, Minot,
Devils Lake. Williston and Dickinson.
The reduction Of 26 cents per hum
bred from springdale to Fargo
amounts to $44.70 on 1900 pound
car. The reduction Of SO cents
Springdale to Minot means 3ll7.30
per car" williams said.

who for centuries have combined with
typhoons to keep travel In tshe south
China sea from becoming boresome
to mariners. will do we'll to steer clear
Of Z new passenger steamer which Z
japanese ship owner Is having built
for use In the waters infested BY sea
robbers.
The vessel will contain none Of the
time honorcd safeguards against pi-
racy. Instead, the resources Of science
will be called upon to foil any attempt
to capture control Of the ship while
the wireless is summoning assistance.
Automatically removable compan-
ionways will lead from the boat deck
to the bridge. Pressing Of 4 button
switch will charge these companion
ways and portions OF the bridge with
q high electric voltage that will mean
death to the pirate who comes In con-
tact with them.
The engine room will be automatic
ally closed also, keeping its crew safe
below decks and protecting the most
vital spot on the vessel. The wireless
house will be isolated to prevent at
hackers from interfering with broad
casts for help.
Tho owner of the new vessel is 80
supremely confident in the efficacy OF
these measures that he will refuse no
passenger because. Of nationality. But
Chinese. as countrymen of the pirates.
will have to undergo search Of their
persons and baggage.
Chinese buccaneers IN times past
were the veritable Vikings Of the ORR
ent. They ravaged coasts, despoilcd
cities, and set themselves up as rulers
Of considerable coastal territories. But
with the coming Of modern means Of
warfare they were routed from their
strongholds, and Of late years have
confined their efforts to the capture
and looting of individual vessels.

Bognor, England, April 22.-P-
King Georges four sons all have been
given important missions to perform
while his majesty b convalcscing mere
from his recent serious illness.
Probably the most important task,
as far as the outside world Is con-
cerned, is the mission Of the duke OF
Gloucester, the kings third son, who
IS on hts way to Japan to invest En-
peror Hirohito with the order Of the
garter.
It is believed this will greatly en-
nance the relations between the Jap
anese Imperial family and the royal
family Of England, as well as between
the two nations.
It Is recalled that two previous
emperors, Meiji and Taisho, also re-
cetved the order Of the garter. At
that time the Anglo-Japanese ALL
ance was still in existence.
The duke Is due at Yokohama May
2, and after six days filled with OFF,
cial functions, he will spend Is days
In travelling, seeing characteristic
arts and sports and some Of Japan's
finest scenery, and finishing with a
cruise through the inland sea.
The prince Of Wales, the kings first
son and heir to the throne. Is hold
ing investitures on behalf OF the
king. They are full-dress official
ceremonies at st. James palace. The
prince conferred the insignia OF
orders bestowed by the king In the
New Years honors list, and Officially
received several hundred persons.
At these occasions the courtyard at
st. James Is bright with glittering
uniforms, ribbons, and plumed and
cockaded hats.
The prince wears the uniform Of
colonel Of the Welsh guards, with the
blue ribbon Of the garter across his
breast, at these ceremonies.
The Duke of York, King Georges
second son, has been appointed lord
high commissioner of the Church of
Scotland, in succession to the Earl
Of Stair. Thus, within five years.
Holyrood palace, Edinburgh. has been
occupied by the second SON of the
king and q Scottish miner, both OF
them acting as the kings representa-
tive during the week OF the general
assembly of the church.
Mr.. Brown came from his miners
cottage to the splendor Of Holyrood.
where he was received with salute
Of 81 guns, held levees and opened
the general assembly when the labor
government was In power.
| As they grow older the three
younger princes are much in demand
as deputies for the king. not only in
this country but in other parts Of the
empire.
Prince George, the kings fourth
son, until recently an interpreter in
the royal navy with the rank Of lieu
tenant. has entered the civil service
with q post at the foreign office.
The appointment is an interesting de-
parture from the custom that only
the navy or the army can provide
careers for the royal princes. He Is
the first son Of the king and queen
| to enter one Of the peace depart
ments.
The prince has the post Of a third
secretary. His duties will bring him
daily into touch with affairs the
handling Of which should be invalu-
able in equipping him for possible
| governor -generalship Of one Of the
dominions.
