New Constitution Of Free State
Dublin, Apr. 30.
A bicameral, or two-chamber, system will be restored to the Irish Free State under the new Can- stitution issued to-day and which Mr. Eamon de Valera, the chief executive, will submit, to the coua- try at the coming general election. The second chamber will be formed on a vocational basis.
The Governor-General will be replaced by a President, who will be apart from party politics and sectional interests, and who will be called a Tuachtaran. He will have the power to withhold assent from bills.
The name of the Free State will be altered to Fire, the old name for Ireland (Erin is incorrect).
A striking preamble to the new Constitution' reads:
herole struggle to regain the right- ful independence of our nation... so that the dignity and freedom of the individual may be assured, true social order attained, the unity of our country restored and concord established with other na- tions, do give ourselves this Con- stitution."

SLUM CLEARANCE IN LONDON
London, Apr. 30. Sir Kingsley Wood, Minister of Health, to-day opened a "block of flats at Bristol which are a new experiment in slum clearance.
The flats are being provided to meet the needs of small familles and elderly single people who are hable, owing to their work, to move to outlying estates and who do not require a full-sized house. The families who will occupy them are persons of very small means, and in this scheme the Bristol Corporation are tackling the hard core of some of the lower-paid workers in the slums.
The rents of the smallest fats are as low as four shillings per week, inclusive of rates, waters and electric light, and inside some furniture for the tenants.
