in the Fourth district was made by a
group of county officials last Thursday.

patched up. Next year a new gravel

dents who have gulped gold
fish, white mice and phono-
graph records to secure col
legiate titles, should have
varied their diet and eaten

for such goofy exploits and a

Widows RIGHTS Upheld

Following a proclamation legal
izing the marriage of a widow to
the brother of her deceased hus-
band, natives of Basutoland pro-
tested to the Basutoland Native
Council in Maseru. They feared that
the children of the first husband
would be treated cruelty by the
second husband. There would be
no redress against the ill-treatment,
they said, and the children would be
condemned to lives of misery and
degradation. They also would suffer
constant humiliation by having to
give way in everything to the chill
dren of the second marriage. The
council then announced that the new
law would apply only to Europeans,
The council also decided that II a
father and his married son die at
the same time the elder widow
should be entitled to priority.
