BRITAIN RUNS LOW ON MILLIONAIRES
London, Dec. 28.
Great Britain is running low on millionaires and the Ex- chequer, which collects about £85,000,000 a year from the deaths of its wealthy citizens, is becoming alarmed.
Back in 1930 before the grip of the depression had become so strangulating Britain boasted about 850 men of the millionaire class-mostly Lords who had inherited vast estates dating back to feudal times.

Do you think the Irish peasant lives on potatoes?
Do you think the Japanese live on rice 7
within a year's time this number of millionaires dropped to 678 and today the Exchequer can find only 462 men with a million pounds or more on tap. The drop of nearly 250 per cent, is of vital concern to the master mathematicians of the Exchequer whn each year place un estimate on how many wealthy persons can be expected to die the following year and how much the government enn expect to collect from their estates.

12 Per Cent. Of Revenue Death duties in Great Britain ac. count for 12 or 13 per cent. of the Ination's total revenue.

Eleven men of the £2.000,000 class died last year and their heira forfeited £20,000,000 to the tax collectora.
From a bookkeeping standpoint, theso multi-millionaire collections mean the income from £1,000,000 for a year at five per cent, Interest. As capital, it would enable Great Britain to build three battleships of the first class, or maintain Scot- land Yard for two years-all from 11 men.

Church Of England
WOMEN DEACONS ARE NEAR POSSIBILITY
-But Won't Be Priests
E may soon have women deacons in the Church of England. These women deacons would be entitled to wear a special dress or emblem, and to be called "Reverend." Among their functions would be baptising and preaching.
The Archbishops' Commission. who.since February 1932 have been deliberating the question of women in the ministry, have published their | report. The chief point in it is:--
"We think that lay womca should be eligible for all such offices and duties in the Church are open to laymen; including that of lay render; that authority should be given to some women to preach, to take occasional ser- vices and to conduct retreats.. "but after full consideration we do not feel able in view of the past history and existing condi- tions of the Christian Church to recommend the admission women to the priesthood.

The manner in which the Ex- chequer pay return visits to Lap family fortunes was exemplified when Lord Cowdray of Midhurst died in 1927, leaving an estate of nearly £4,000,000, The Treasury claimed £1,500,000. His son in- herited about £1,600,000 and when he, in turn, died in 1933 the treasury took 34 per cent, of the san's estate. Of the original £4,- 000.000 estate he left less than £500,000.
There is no appeal from Great Britain's death duties, except when two deaths occur in a family within
