> i] QUITE EQUAL TO OCCASION Female “Heckler” Who Tackled Lady | Astor Got a Good Deal of j Hl a Surprise, “Lady Astor,” said a New York clubman, “brought more popularity to the Astor name during her election fight in England than either the old viscount, William Waldorf, or the new viscount, Major Waldorf, ever suc- ceeded in doing. “She's a clever woman, a witty wom- | ap, and we Americans may be proud | of her though she has deserted us. “On the election platform she gave | many a striking proof of ber ready wit. Thus one evening a sour-vis- aged female rose In the audience and asked with a kind of prim irony: “‘If Viscountess Astor ts elected to | pariiament, will she work to make di- | vorce as easy for us in England as It | is in America?’ “This was a mean blow, a foul blow, | a blow below the belt, so to speak, for Lady Astor, through no fault of her own, Is a divorced woman. She countered brilliantly, however, and the blow didn't land. Looking at her ques- tloner in a commiserating way, she sald: “I'm sorry, madam, you are in trou- | ble.’ | “And the house roared with laugh- ter.” - HAVE PUT UP BRAVE FIGHT Sumatra Natives for Centuries Car- | ried on Warfare With Their Conquerors, the Dutch, Sumatra’s war-decimated population amounts to less than 3,200,000 most of which is not available for labor, the Island, therefore, barely beginning to attract attention, despite its riches in natural resources, Sumatra ts tm- mense fn area and between its differ- | ent sections there is little Inland com- munication, that which exists being of a treacherous and warlike character. Much of the island remains unex: | plored. Other parts such as the whole of Achin, are still in a state of warfare, which seems destined to end only with the eventual extermina- tion of the resisting tribes. The first hostilities of the Achinese date back to 1509, but for the last forty years fighting has been continu- ous, costing more than 200,000 lives in the Achinese war alone, A guerrilla warfare of surprises and ambushes has been going on in the jungles, the determined resistance of the Achinese continuing undiscouraged, although their government has been deposed, and all their towns and strategic po- sitions occupied by Dutch troops.
