third, Miss Maxse.

This is an historic move by the Conservative Party. The office of deputy principal agent is a new one, and has been created as a recognition of the increasing im portance of women in the organisa- tion of the party.

It is the first time that such a position has been filled in any party organisation, by a woman.

GREAT ORGANISER.

Miss Makae has filled successfully various posts in the women's of ganisation, of which the Countess of lveagh, M.P., in chairman. She is acousin of Mr. Leo Maxse, editor of the National Review, and a niece of Viscountess Milner, and is a remarkable organiser and an ex- cellent speaker, with a good voice.

She joined the Conservative

Party as an active worker five years ago. She was appointed a district agent for the southern area, arat a few months later took com mand of the women's organisation

She nursed in France during the war and subsequently worked at the Foreign Ofice.

She is a tall, good-looking young woman with dark eyes and hair. Her face is full of character, says a Home newspaper.

Her new post will not interfere with her work as administrator of the women's organisation. She has her own department in the Central Conservative Offices at Westmins- ter, and from it controls the activi- ties of the party's women organizers and epeakers all over England and Wales.

The coming enfranchisement of 5,000,000 pore women-between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-will add enormously to the importance of this work.

The area surveyed covers 53,000 square miles of country. (approxi- mately equal to that of England and Wales) nad extends over some of the greatest, mountains of the world, and includes the highest known peak, Mount Everest, which is over 20,000 feet above sea level

The work constitutes a valuable addition to geographical knowledge, The results of the survey, which was undertaken at the request of

MORE HOUSES IN BRITAIN.

200,000 BUILT IN A YEAR,

SOLVING A BIG PROBLEM.

From information which is now available it is evidens that more than 200,000 houses will have been built in England during the 18 months which come to an end on March 31et. It has already been recorded in The Times that, in the third week of last September, the one millionth house built since the Armistice in the great effort which; has been made to overtake the War arrears was finished and ready for occupation. By the end of Septein- ber the number of houses completed was got less than 1,023,787, includ ing houses built both with and without the subsidy. During that math a particular effort was made in view of the fact that the subsidy was to be reduced in respect of houses completed, after the begin.

A section of the report deals with peaks. The Nepalese, it is stated. the nomenclature of Himalayan

Thus Mount Everest dominates the Maha Langur Himal; Kinchinjunga, the Singalia Himal Daulagiri, a Himal of the same name; Gauri Sankar, the Rolwaling Himali and Api, the Viras Hishi Himal.

SURGEON AND "SCANDAL "OF A CHILD'S DEATH.”

OUT-OF-WORK MAN AND FAMILY IN CONDEMNED PREMISES.

"During the time I have been coroner I have had to visit a good maay poor homes. I must say that I have never been in a house like this. It is extraordinary that in town like Brighton houses should be without water and proper sani- tary conveniences. It is deplorable. In one of the houses I. noticed that the windows were nearly all out and the space stuffed with rags." Mr. Peskett, the Brighton coroner, made this comment at an inquest at Brighton on Irene Esme Leighton, aged three years and seven months,' daughter of Arthur Leighton, Oxford-court, off London-road.

The father, an out-of-work furni- ture porter, asid his home was two rooms only. He had four children. He paid six shillings a week rent, The house was in a bad state, and was condemned two years ago. He had had notice to leave, but was unable to get other accommodation. Mr. Charles Fraser, surgeon, St. George's place, said be found the child dead in bed by the side of the other children. Mr. Frizer went on!

This child had not the ghost of a chance. If all the doctors ing Brighton had been called in nothing could have been done. It is a perfect scandal that people' should be allowed to live under such conditions. The child died from acute laryngitis and meas les, & contributory cause being the conditions in which the child had. lived.

Dr. Duncan Forbes, medical oficer of health, said the house was closed officially, but the difficulty was getting the people out and find ing them other accommodation.

Inspector Cooke (N.B.P.C.C.), said the children were well nourish ed and clean. The parents un- doubtedly did their best.

A verdict of Death from Natural Causes was returned..
