ALGIERS, June 22.—Buying and ull- ing of v@/es is soon to be abolished from the Kabyle “kanouns,” or cus- toms, the code of traditions that gov- erns the social life of several million natives. This is the first of the age- old native practices to be recommended for reform by a mixed commission. A bill to translate this into law is before the French Parliament with every prospect that it will be adopted. ‘There are many otner changes contem- plated, but it is the intention to go slowly for two reasons, first, because France pledged her.word.she would not interfere with native customs; second, because she woud invite trouble by up- setting native life. Minimum Age to Be 15. Revolutionary as it is, the proposed “law of bethrothal” merely requires a declaration of intent by the bride and groom or their families and fixes the minimum age at 15, ‘The custom, which dates back farther than history goes, requires that the man | buy the bride from her father or nearest male relative. The girl's consent is un- necessary. She may be delivered to her husband by force. ‘The Kabyle woman, often sold into marriage when only. 7 years old, has no property rights, except that she may own the clothes she is wearing. Divorce By Oral “Judgment.” Her husband can divorce her by re- peating three times, “I repudiate you" and he may set a ransom on her, with- out payment of which she can not re- marry. The wife can not ‘“repudiate” her husband. She only can flee to her father's house and remain there “in a state of insurrection.” The husband clothes and feeds his wife as he wishes; no complaint by her will be heard by the caid, or chief offi- cer of the local assembly, who dispenses Justice. ‘The children belong to the father. If the wife is repudiated, she loses all relationship with them. If the husband dies the wife goes to his heir, as part of his property. Many native TS, conversant with customs of other lands, favor radical reforms, but it is on their advice that the French propose to go slowly. i ANNANDALE BOY SCOUTS DISCUSS FUTURE WORK | R Troop Plans for Special Court of Honor July 18—Scoutmaster Is Indorsed.

We wish to assure the farmers of Maryland that we are studying the situation and pro- ceeding toward a plan. We have re- quested each of our county and State co-operative organizations to designate a representative to assist in formulating this plan. Several of the organ |reldy have designated these repre- sentatives. “It has been impossible up to this time to formulate such a plan, because the bill, as finally agreed upon by the Senate and House conference commit- tee, has just been passed by Congress and signed by President Hmver." 0DD FELLOWS ELECT.
