47 COMMANDMENTS FOR A HUSBAND.

Promised to Earn £2,000

A Year at Fifty.

Mrs. Rebecca Ross, of Camden, New Jersey, wrote out 47 "com- mandments" when she was married, which her husband had to obey The object (says the British United Press) was to put "our marriage on a business basis"-with the hus- band as junior partner.

Mr. Ross, greatly daring, later told his wife he would not obey the | commandments, explaining that as ten were regarded as enough for the rest of the world, there were 37 too many. Mrs. Ross thereupon refus- ed to kiss him. Among the com- mandments were:

That you the husband) guar- antee increase your salary so that at Afty you receive £2,000 a year. That we have no children for at least two years.

That you pay me a salary for fulfilling the duties of cook and housemaid,

That you will attend all church services regularly.

That you will refrain from criticism of my family and from all unkind and unpleasant re- marks of any nature.

"As I See Fit."

That you will give me a per- centage of your salary every day to be used as 1 see fit.

That all money given to me by you may be used as I please with- out question from you.

That we will reserve one even- ing a week for ourselves.

That you may never divorce me under any conditions without my

consent.

That if either of us breaks these conditions the other shall have the right of appeal to the lawyer who draws them up, and shall be fined for such offence.

That upon three infractions of these conditions the other will have the right to break up the marriage.

Mrs. Rosa was a school teacher and the daughter of a clergyman.

DEER'S HEART FAILURE.

Ingenuous Defence of Cooch Behar Accused.

For killing a deer 22 persons in Cooch Behar State, India, have been convicted under the State's Forest Law, nine of them being sentenced to a fine of Rs. 5 each and the re- maining thirteen to a fine of a rupeo

each.

The prosecution alleged that the accused rounded up the deer on December 20 Inat and beat it to death when it fell into a pool. The ment, weighing about four maunds, was distributed among 119 persons. The defence declared that the deer had died of heart failure. All the accused had done, it was stated, was to chase the deer out of sheer curiosity and to tie it down with a rope when it fell into a pool.

TRAM-CAR.

AND LAUSANNE.

"Safest Vehicle on the Road."

INDIGNANT DEFENCE.

A defence of the tram-car has been sent to the Minister of Transport by the Municipal Tramways and Transport Asso- ciation.

In their final report the Royal Commission on Transport stated that "the tramway is the direct enuse of many accidents, espe- cially as the result of setting down and picking up in the middle of the street, which but for its existence would not take place.

The Association reply:- "There appears to be no evid- ence to support this statement. On the contrary, the annual re-

turns published by the Home Office from statistics compiled not by tramway operatora but by the police themselves show clearly that the tramcar is and has been the safest passenger vehicle on the road."

Not Worrying About It.

Speaking at Rugby recently Lord Beaverbrook said that as the result of the general election it was expected that a policy would have been put into force to stimulate production both in the manufacturing and agricul- tural spheres, but nothing had yet been done. While the pound continued to go down the num- ber of unemployed was not go ing down. Instead we were told we must not put duties on for- eign articles too quickly because it might bankrupt Germany and drive her into Bolshevism,

"Why," asked Lord Beaver- brook, "do we always have to consider foreign countries? We cannot put duties on foreign manufactured goods and for- eign foodstuffs because we must take a leading part in building Germany up. During the war our aim was to break: Germany up. Now it is to build; Germany up.

Mr. MacDonald, the Prime Minister, said that the Lausanne Conference was now more needed than ever. But we must tell Mr. MacDonald that: we don't worry about the Lau-: sanne Conference. We want an Empire conference. We do not want the children's bread to be

given to the stranger any long-

er. We are tired of this con- tinual sustaining, helping, nour- ishing, and cherishing of the foreigner.

"We want no concern with the: troubles of Germany. We are

not disposed to make any fur ther sacrifice to restore economic conditions in Germany. In any case, Britain is not the place from which Germany buys. We are only third her list, America and France being first and second.". They had to turn; their backs on Europe and turn their faces towards the Empire.

It is stated that in December, 1930, there were 13,700 tram-cars and 2,246,800 other vehicles licensed. The entire cost of building and maintaining a large proportion of 2,420 miles of roads was still borne by these 13,700 tram-cars. It is urged that "this policy cannot now be justified. It is progressively in- equitable, and is contrary to VEHICLES & TRAFFIC every tenet of taxation Britain. And yet it remains un- condemned by the Royal Com. mission." The association take exception to the way tramways ¦ are dealt with in the report, and copy of the new and amended Con protest against statements and solidated Vehicles and Traffic Re- implications liable to mislead gulations, which have already been

A parcel containing five bomba of local manufacture is believed to have been left on a large stone near the pillar-box, and the force of the explosion was so great as to burat this stone, one of the frag- menta striking the box, cracking it down the full length and bursting the casing at another point.
