Christmas, have flung a chain of airways castwards from Britain to Newfoundland and southwards to Hong- kong.

Next year Britain will send a pioneer air liner across the North Atlantic. That flight will re- present the forging of the last vital link in a round-the-world chain of airways.

You will be able to circle the globe in a fortnight, travelling in luxury air liners manned the whole way by English-speaking

Imperial Airways in less than a fortnight begin experimental services between Penang, and Hongkong.

Before January America will have inaugurated the California- China airline neross the Pacific, so completing the chain.

Siam Divorce Laws

Make Husband Boss

Bangkok, Sept. 0.

New marriage laws which como into forco in Slam on October 1, provide, among other things, that the husband is to be considered the head of the household and that marriages, to be legal, must be registered.

Divorce is made much easier. It may be effected by mutual con- sent or by court order.

Infidelity on the part of the wife entitles the husband to a not divorce, but the same does apply when a husband is unfaith-

Once a divorce is registered the husband is entitled to remarry at any time but the wife has to wait 310 days.

I HAVE LIVED WITH MADMEN FOR

23 YEARS'

Nice, Aug. 20. "For twenty-three years I have lived with madmen. My hus- band--and my son who hated me. His terrible eyes drove me to despair."

A sobbing woman spoke these words in Nice Criminal Court to-day. She was acquitted by the jury, most of whom were in tears, of killing her thirty-nine- year-old son.-

She admitted that she fired two shola ut him in the kitchon of their home. "Why I did it 1 do not know," she told the court.

Her son's last words, spoken In delirium, were: "I hate my mother. I want to kill her." The mother was Mme. Roso- weeki, a widow of fifty-nine.

Suicide Threats

She told how she had, in November last year, removed her Hon, Serge, from a lunatic asylum. The authorities had stopped him playing the piano, and Serge was threatening to hang himself.

"At first," she said, "he was grateful. But gradually his madness made him hate me.

"Again and again he cried, 'I shall kill my mother to punish her for having brought me into the world.'"

The prosecuting attorney, him- self deeply moved, withdrew the charges.

When the judge announced the acquittal, Mme. Rosowecki fainted in the arms of Serge's younger

brother.
