ENGLISH FIND WIFE
STEALING EXPENSIVE
High Damages Awarded by
Divorce Courts.
London.—The price of wives is ad-
vancing. Within tlie last few weeks
London divorce courts have awarded
damages to husbands against core-
spondents to the tune of $10,000 and
$15,000, and lastly, a few. days ago
a husband was awarded $50,000.
The $50,000 went to George Edgar
Ingman, an estate agent and surveyor
of Worcester, who obtained a divorce
from his wife, daughter of a wealthy
man, on the ground of misconduct
witii Captain Neel Pearson, formerly
of The Birches, Hagley, near Birming-
ham. Mr. Ingman announced in ad-
vance that he would not retain the
award, but would use it as a fund for
his daughter by the erring wife. A
similar declaration was made by the
husband who received tlie award of
$10,000.
In 1905 Demetrius Sophocles Con-
stantinidi received an award of $125,-
000 against a Doctor Lance in an
English court. The $50,000 received
by Mr. Ingman equaled any record
made since then.
What Is a Wife Worth?
English judges have a wide latitude
in addressing tlie jury in both civil
and criminal cases. Suits for divorce
are combined with suits against tlie
corespondent for loss of tlie wife’s
services, under tlie English procedure.
Lt is not unusual for a judge in sum-
ming up to remark, in effect, that
after hearing the evidence the jury
might conclude that the husband, in-
stead of obtaining damages, should
thank the corespondent for relieving
him of a worthless wife, and the jury
ordinarily reacts to tlie sentiments
expressed by the judge because they
heard the evidence when lie did.
The general rule seems to be that
the husband is entitled to damage, if
the wife was a real helpmeet, but to
refuse them if she was a nagger and
a handicap instead of helpmeet. The
corespondent is punished not for
adultery but on. the old theory that a
wife is, or should be, useful around the
house and in assisting her husband’s
work for their joint benefit. When the
corespondent steals the wife he de
prives the husband of her services, if
any. Quite often the judge and jury
cannot see that she was of any serv-
ice, and then the jury awards very
light damages, or none. In one case
the jury awarded tlie husband a six-
pence and in another he got a farth-
ing. If those husbands felt spiteful
toward their deserting wives they bad
the satisfaction of knowing that the
jury had publicly branded the wives
as worthless.
Extreme Feminists Object.
Extreme feminists are chafing over
the awards against corespondents
because they say that the award is
based upon the fact that the wi(e>
regarded by the law in such suits as
a chattel, which is exactly true. If a
man deprived another of a horse and
the evidence showed that the horse
was too vicious ‘ to be employed for
any useful work and was an expense
and a menace to the welfare of the
rightful owner, the judge and jury
would be inclined to disregard the
real owner’s valuation of the horse
and award nominal damages for its
loss. The comparison with a horse
displeases the feminists, but only a
very few of them have been heard
complaining about the position in
which women place themselves b>
breech of promise suits, and by suits
on the part of childless women for
alimony.
Lord Merrivale, in summing up in
the Ingman case, said Mrs. Ingman
daughter of wealth, had been a help
ful wife, apparently, to her hard-work-
ing husband until tlie wealthy Cap
tain Pearson came along and she
went off with him. She had said that
Captain Pearson could afford to spend
$30,1X10 to $50,000 per year giving her
a liberal allowance.
English judges and juries are equal-
ly vexed when the evidence makes
clear that a rich man has lured awaj
the wife of a poorer man by lavish
offers of money. The juries are in-
clined to grant damages in such
cases as punishment for tlie seducer,
although the court solemnly warns
the juries that they are to consider
only the helpfulness, if any, of the
wife to the husband.
Big Bald Knob Full of
Caves Excites Texans
Fredericksburg, Texas.—A colossal
bald knob, protruding above the sur-
face ol th. earth, excites tlie awe and
woudei of Texans and tourists from
others states.
It is a single, dome-shaped piece ot
red granite, 4UU feet high and covering
a square mile uear here. It is tlie
result of some cataclysm in prehistoric
times.
Although ’’Enchanted Rock,” as it
is known, has not been utilized com
nierciall.” as have other near-by gran
ite deposits', its environs intrigue ad
venturous explorers. Within it are
deep caves, picturesque gateways,
hanging gardens and jagged chasms.
Indians ascribed mystic potencies to
the huge rock.
Job for Pigeons
Ottawa, Ont.—The homing pigeon
has been officially enrolled in Canada's
peace-time air patrol. The depart-
ment of national defense announces
the establishment of a carrier-pigeon
service as an auxiliary to the forest
fire patrol and aerial photographic-
survey.
MANSION HAS SOLID
GOLD BATH FIXTURES
Sir Dhunjibhoy’s Palace More
Elaborate Than King’s.
Windsor, England.—The most costly
residence in England is known here
as “Tlie Willows,’’ but neighbors pre-
fer to call it “The House of the Ara-
bian Nights.”
It is the residence of Sir Dhunjib-
hoy Bomanji, wealthy Bombay mer-
chant. It stands within sight of tlie
towers of Windsor castle, one of the
homes of tlie king and queen of Eng-
land, but it is said to be furnished
more elaborately than even the royal
home.
Every bedroom in Sir Dliunjiblioy’s
home is fitted with a marble wash
basin, and every hydrant, bracket and
hatrack is made of solid gold. In Sir
Dliunjiblioy’s own room the legs of
tlie washstand are also oi gold.
AH tlie furniture is on a correspond-
ing style of magnificence. The rooms
are furnished according to various pe-
riod, and tlie furniture consists entire-
ly of rare antiques. Sir Dliunjiblioy’s
bedroom is finished in French style in
the fashion of Louis XIV.
The house of the Indian millionaire
is built in Tudor style. It is sur-
rounded by beautiful gardens, dotted
with marble statuary and fountains.
One of the marble pieces, known as
“Truth,” attracts particular attention.
It represents a nude woman holding
aloft a mirror.
Sir Dliunjibhoy, in addition to be-
ing a connoisseur of solid gold and
marble, is also a sportsman. He has
a large stable of horses on his
grounds, and to tlie rear of his gar-
dens a miniature race track lias been
laid out
With so magnificent a home, enter-
taining is second nature to the Bom-
bay potentate and Lady Bomanji.
Their guestrooms are almost always
occupied, and Sir Dliunjibhoy has
given several large functions which
many British titled people attended.
Sir Dliunjibhoy Bomanji was knight-
ed in 1922 for services rendered the
British and Indian governments dur-
ing the World war. He has now come
to England to make his permanent
residence here.
Doll Hospital Keeps
Five of Family Busy
Louisville, Ky.—John Reccius’ doll
hospital here is a monument to the
sympathy its founder has with the
tragedies of childhood.
Skill and special “surgical” instru-
ments bring life back into broken saw-
dust bodies at the Louisville Doll hos-
pital, founded many years ago by
Reccius and his brother, German toy
dealers. From repairing the broken
and imperfect dolls in the top shop
the doll surgeons evolved their own
technique and designed instruments
without which many of their most
critical operations would be impos-
sible.
Three sons and a daughter-in-law
are engaged with Reccius. the head
surgeon, in treating tlie sawdust pa-
tients. Tiny teeth are replaced, bro-
ken ears and noses restored and new
eyes exchanged for old in the doll
sanitarium. Dolls come from as far
away as California for treatment.
In spring and summer most of the
cases are nursery casualties, buf from
October until Christmas old favorites
are sent in to be rejuvenated for the
holidays. Several extra hands are
added to the hospital staff during the
Christmas rush.
Installs Bathtub in
Alaska Schoolhouse
Cordova, Alaska.—Chitina, a small
town halfway up the “Iron Trail,”
claims the distinction of having the
only schoolroom bathtub. It is a half-
way point between savagery and civ-
ilization where tlie white man and the
native Indian rub shoulders.
Miss Catherine Kirklin, teacher In
the government school at Chitina, is
responsible for the tub. She installed
the bath in the classroom and she
sees that it is used, although her ideas
do not please the old Indian chiefs.
Many a ring appears on the Chitina
tub.
“1 do not really believe that the
Indians object to baths.” Miss Kirk-
lin said, “but conditions have been
such for centuries that it was not
practicable for them to wash and so
they just forgot how.”

With Artificial Skull 5
Toronto, Ont.—To be living 6
and working without a skull 2
after an Electric current equiv- o
al ent to 5,000 horse powet §
passed through his body, is the 9
experience of Norman Douglas g
Ellis, a young hydroelectric pow . 9
er employee of Toronto. g
In May, 1926, while doing re g
lief work at the Eugenia Falls o
power station, Ellis touched a g
live wire. He was suspended 9
in mid-air and thought to g
be dead, but artificial respira 9
tion revived him. For six days 6
he lay semiconscious and aftei g
eleven months necrosis forced o
surgeons to remove virtually his g
entire skull, which was re 9
placed by skin grafts from the g
thigh. Mechanical ingenuity pro- o
vided an artificial cap for Ellis g
head, over which he wears a 9
wig. g
