Queen Mary is said to have made great
er use Of air conditioning than any
other vessel on the seas. Fresh air is
mechanically forced into every state
room and cabin, and passengers are
able to regulate the supply to their in
dividual quarters as they will.
Electricity cooks all the meals
aboard the ship except for the steaks
which are broiled on the charcoal grill.
It also furnishes the power for clean
ing up after meals, for gigantic ma
chine, referred to by the crew as "Me-
chanical Molly" washes, rinses, pol
ishes and sterilizes thousands of dishes
in an hour and is gentle as kitten
with even the most fragile china. Elec-
trical machines also slice bacon, make
bread, make coffee, burnish silver,
measure tea, mix dough, break ice, cut
butter, polish ranges and ovens, press
ducks, mold dough, grind coffee, clar-
ify fat and cut foods.
Even dogs live lives OF ease on the

There are altogether % public rooms
throughout the ship. Greatest of all,
of course, is the main restaurant,
which extends the entire 11S-foot width
of the Queen Mary. 1t is 100 feet long
and covers 1920 square feet. At one
time S15 persons can be comfortably
seated.
Floating Broadcasting Station.
Another large room is the main hall,
which is Ill feet by 20 feet. Its shop
ping center, which advertises its wares
in show windows along the promenade
deck, includes a haberdashery and
clothing shop, book shop and telephone
booths for ship-to-shore conversations.
The passengers need never be out Of
touch with friends or relatives ashore,
as anyone who listened to the broad
casts from the Queen Mary on her
maiden trip will realize.
Every facility for broadcasting to
shore has been installed in the ship.
Concerts or speeches can be broadcast
from nearly every public room. The
ship makes use of 80 wave-lengths,
which permits American and British
shore stations to pick up the brOadcasts
and relay them.

NEW DIVORCE BILL
RADICAL TOBR|T|SH
Husband and Father Still
Is Supreme Lord in
His Own Home.
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE,
Associated Press stan Writer.

NEW YORK, December 10.-The re-
form bill now before the British Par
lament, making desertion and insan.
fly grounds for divorce, is radical
proposal for conservative Britain, and
in effect is further knock in the eye
for the Englishman as lord Of Gre
alton, with rights not accorded mere
females.
England always has frowned on di-
vorce and it is only since the World
War that a new and freer-thinking
generation has started turning to the
courts in larger numbers for this sort
OF relief. The increase Is due in con-
siderable degree to the fact that in
1928 the law was altered to give wom-
en- equal rights with men. A good
many of the ladies have taken advan-
tage Of this.
Before then husband could get a
divorce simply on the grounds Of mis-
conduct. But not so his wife. She
had to couple misconduct with some
thing else. such as cruelty-and the
austere judges never winked at subter-
fuge.
New Law Aided Mrs. Simpson.
Were the old law still in effect, Mrs.
Wallis Simpson could not have got a
decree nisi so easily as she did re-
Gently on the mere plea of miscon-
duct by her broker husband Indeed,
she might not have been able to get
one at all. unless the affable-appear-
ing Simpson had been obliging enough
to provide grounds for cruelty and
advertise the deed so that she could
produce witnesses.
Other cherished prerogatives are
beginning gradually to slip away from
the English husband and father, who
always has been the big noise in his
own home. The young generation Is
developing considerable self-assertion
though the idea that father can be
anything but supreme is comparatively
new.
The independence of American
women Is a constant source of amaze
ment In Britain. The general i'm
Evening star., 1936-12-10

Is silence In the meeting house among
women and children when father
rises to speak. It never would enter
the head Of the average English wife
or children TO challenge fathers
edicts.
He decides what is best, not only
for himself but for the wife and chill
dren, where affairs of moment are
concerned. He selects the schools
for the children: he decides where
the family shall spend the holidays
and he tells his offspring whom they
may and may not marry. Indirectly
he even picks the roast for dinner,
because fathers likes anc dislikes are
the likes and dislikes of the family.
It would be unfair not to point out
that the Englishman is q good hus-
band and father. Those inviolable
decisions Of his frequently involve
great personal sacrifice. He gives of
his best and he makes his rules re-
gardless Of the pain they may cause
him. It Is q matter Of pride and
satisfaction to him, however, to feel
that he s the big boss.

preston prevails that the wife Is an
absolute queen in her home, and leads
her husband about by the nose. The
American woman is popularity sup
posed to be coddled and pampered,
while her husband slaves day and
night to make more money to meet
her demands.
British Abhor Idea.
Whether that situation exists of
not, the Englishman has thumbs
down on any such freedom. This at
titude was demonstrated well few
years ago by the young Earl Of Nor
thesk, soon after he had taken unto
himself as his first wife the beautiful
Jessica Brown, whose face and figure
once were among the decorative as
sets of the ''ziegfeld's Follies."
The couple separated after little,
and his lordship was quoted as ex-
planning that in England a man is
boss of the house, while in America
the woman rules. He therefore thought
that marriages between Americans and
English we're mistake. Later there
was divorce.
The earl's statement that the Briton
was head of his house was quite true,
He was undisputed head-and he still
is, more or less.
One does not wish to give the idea
that the Englishman practices cave
man tactics In handling his affairs.
Far from 1t. After the manner Of his
race he is quiet and unostentatious.
but when he speaks he speaks with
f1nality. He is the all-important per-
son in the home.
