RESCUE OF MAROONED ICE SCIENTISTS

WORLD OWES GREAT DEBT

INVENTOR DIES IN LONDON

A MAN to whom the world owes a great debt died recently at the age of 96. His name is Ed- ward Hodson Bayley.

England in particular should thank him for inventing the modern fire escape and the world in genèral should be grateful to him as one of the first sponsors of Gilbert and Sullivan.

Walking down Regent Street one day Mr. Bayley met D'Oyly Carte, then running an obscure music shop, who took him to meet a couple of obscure young young and equally men called Gilbert and Sullivan, who had just collaborated with opereita Trial by Jury."

HE PUT UP 21,000

Mr. Bayley listened to the tunes and went home humming them- unable to get them out of his head. So

impressed was he that he put up £1,000 for the production of "The Sorcerer." Chappell and Metzler contributed another £1,000 each, and the world heard Gilbert and Sullivan

ALLOWANCES FOR WIVES

Another important point, she con- tinued, was that on arrangement should be made at the start about: money. Every wife should have a personal allowance that she could spend as she liked.

Other qualities essential to the successful wife were common sense, a sense of proportion and a sense of humour. Without these she would be inclined
