to speak, there would be recurring

Subiection of Wives

Some 4O0-year-old rules for handling
wives have been published in London
In connection with the new book on
Rabelais.
The rules were drawn up by II.

considerable experience with wives.
First of all, he sets forth the dicta
that woman is mans inferior"
Having established his premise,
Tiraqueau goes on to say, "She is not
to be struck or mistreated in any
way.
"The wife is to be educated by ex.
ample and by caresses mingled with
severity. She may be threatened when
necessary"

King AlfOnso's Son Will
 Take Course in School

Madrid, Aug. 2 (UP)-The Infante Don Juan, third son of King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia. received orders from the ministry of marine to present himself at the naval academy of San Fernando, near Cadiz. on August 1. The prince, a few days before he celebrated his 7th birthday, stood the competitive examinations for entrance to Spain s naval academy along with the rest of the candidates, and passed all the subjects with brilliant grades. He was particularly, proficient in mathe- matics.
 Don Juan along with the youngest of the family, Don Gonzalo. has been kept in the background insofar as public affairs are concerned. The two boys were not even permitted to eat with the royal family. and in stead, they sat down to their meals with the corps of professors. As a result they have become excellent scholars.
 Now that the Infante Juan is about to become midshipman, however, he is already becoming a well-knoWn public figure. He al ready has his naval uniform, in which he is striking, robust figure.

ECONOMIST SLAMS
 FARM BOARD WAYS
Blames Federal Body for De-
 moraliZing Market

Saskatoon, Sask, Aug. ? P - A Canadian economist has joined the
 critics of President Hoover's federal
 farm board
 Prof. w. W. Swanson of the Uni versity of Saskatchewan, chairman of the provincial commission on int
 migration and settlement, attributes present low wheat prices to. ".he operations Of the United States farm board" and considers that "demo' alizing market effects will continue as long as the farm board continues it's artificial market manipulation"
 Throughout the world" Protes- sor Swanson said, "the wheat crop does not reach the proportions of a
 year ago, and even the United States
 will have no considerable surplus above the normal. The real factor depressing the market at present is the surplus created by past policies of the farm board. Figures issued
 by the department of agriculture at Washington, which are exceedingly
 bearish. have evidently been pub lished with a purpose
 The purpose, he declared. was to support Alexander Legge, chairman of the board, and his associates in their effort to curtail wheat acre
 age. The chief bearish factor in the market, he averred. is the attempt | to dispose of the American surplus,
 and not any concerted action by
 British mllers to penalize the Cana l dian wheat pool.

 Desert Problem

New York. Aug. 9 CUP) - Arthur o. Williams. Jr. of East Providence, E. T.. winner of the 1880 Thomas A. Edison scholarship found inc pos CT questions the hardest of all in his examination. he revealed in radio talk last night.
 "I couldn't figure out why I Eas asked how much 2 secondhand Ford coupe was worth" he said when Mir Ford was present and could have answered it much better When I finished making a stab at this. I was floored by trying 10 res cue a party in the middle Of the desert.
 But neither of these put me In so dense a fog as the announcement that I had won the contest"
 silent On Answers
 Williams. however. did not reveal. in his speech over Station WEAF what his answers were. Soon after the announcement was made in West Orange he was on the point of telling reporters when Frank Schen. assistant to Charles Edison, cautioned him:
 Just a tip to you. Young Huston answered very few questions last year, and it might be well for you to use the same tactics" He referred to Wilbur Huston, last years win ner.
 When Edison was asked what his answer 10 the desert question would be-the question in which the boys were asked which they would save. of an expedition stranded in the desert. the 6O-year-old scientist, the scientists wife, the scientists son, your friend, your finncee, yourself, or the two guides, assuming only three could be saved-he was evasiye.
 "One thing is sure" he said. You'd have to have a guide to get out. He's got to be saved. He'd probably be an Indian" Referring to the leader Of the expedition, he said, he's not like the captain of a ship at sea-" indicating he could be saved.
 T haven't thought enough about it." he said. "I only wanted to see how the boys would react"
