Jan. 3 ( Al') A o.uurter of ;a million domestic slaves free to day und on a basis of political eriuulily with their former masters owe their emancipation to a woman. Lady Kathleen Simon, wife of Sir John Simon, un Knli"" liberal party .lender is credited with In forming the world that slavery mill existed In the Brl'.ish protectorate, j Tlie slaves were owrjed by nutives, not by Kuropeans. NY-nrly one fifth of the people were In bond uku' under domestic slavery. Do mestic sluvery did not carry with It the. right .of suh or the right to manhandle. It was nearer serf dom than slavery. The slaves principally persons engaged in tribal warfure or their descendants before the proclamation of the protectorate in lnytj. After these conditions had been exposed legislative action wau taken to uhollsh the last vestige of slavery. I'revlously. in an ordinance had been passed declur Ing that the children of slaves should he free und thus slavery would have disappeared in time. Comparatively few of the for mer slaves have lett their masters in the newly ucqulred freedom. It is probable that many will con tinue to work us free men und women for those who formerly claimed their labor without pay. Hollywood Woman !

Califor nia, visiting in New York, exper ienced un adventure today more thrilling than the cinema sriisu tloiiH of any inovin, queen. Mrs. Kvu J. Newhurdt, of Holly wood, was one of about J"0 gu ''; In the Carol Lodge, a hotel at Thirty-second street just off Filth avenue, when fire broke out. While firemen were carrying other guests down ladders, Mrs. Newhurdt made her way, scantily clad in the freeaing went her, down u fi re esca pe. W h lie one st ory above Hie ground she was cut off from escape by fini and, as shu clung to her perch firemen who could not see her for tho envelop ing smoke turned a stream of water upon her. 1 Almost torn from the fin- cseapo by the water, Mrs. Newhurdt final ly, attracted attention by her screams and was saved.

Addressing the Now England Mociely in New York the other day he stated a point of view y.cll worth studying. I "A wise and brave man," said Air. Young, "acts inde pendently so far as he can and co-operates when he must in iider to get results. So it should be with nations. Let liot tho greatest stand dumb when it should speak. Let it pot be idle when it should act. Let it have courage an.l sympathy and vision. Let it assume the resixmsibility oT n leadership commensurate with Cod's great jcifls to it. Let l lie unafraid for itself and unsuspicious of others. Let the ji.ualysis of small views and the selfishness of littleness be londemned in our politics at home and nowr become a pin t of our ixilicy abroad. j . "Beyond the frontier America should speak iu a unit, Viiweakened by partisan politics, and at the frontier all for eign influences should slop. Frontiers are the doors lo homes. Ix-t every man who enters behave with the courtesy due his host. International relations are not more difficult than personal nnes."- . Since all the problems arising out of personal relations I ave not yet been solved, it is perhaps not strange that sim i ar international relations remain difficult at many points. Yet the attitude of the wise and hraw man, as described by Jir. Young, is an ideal wortn striving for. And there is ( cat hope for future international relationships in the theory! that the same attitude can be applied with happy results in both cases.

The paint may be scraped off here and there and probably the mudguards bear the dents of careless parking- or even more careless fellow parkers. The engine may miss now and then and shifting gears may not be the smooth easy matter it once was, but the old bus is still a good old friend. It has served you well. Down to the office; quick, pleasant shopping trips; cool, refreshing evening drives through the country; week-end journeys to see the folks back home, wonderful vacations all this and more the old bus has given you. You know all of this of course, but did you ever stop to think how much the oft-discussed business of ad vertising has had to do with the fun you've had out of the old bus? - v Didn't advertising tell you of many things that m;ide your car run easier 'and more economically? Didn't advertising help you plan your pleasure trips? And when you are through with the old bus, won't advertising help you dispose of it advantageously and enable you to select the new one more intelligently? And that's just the motor-car department of life. Advertising- means quite a lot to you, doesn't it? Life would be full of detours without it. fl m M ex S3 bJ ii s a a n m a n a n n n Read the advertisements regularly Gild follow the straight road lo satisfaction and economy' m u m m u m n n M n pi B H n m n M n n HiafifsssBiaiaiBiEiasisisiiianiiiiiiiHiiBuji
