(A t9tt Western Sownpapcr I'nlw.) London.--The house of lords Is demanding a reform which woufd limit Its membership and provide for certain peers to be elected. It seems likely that th£ country will eventually adopt some sort of plan like this, since it is widely asserted that the present consAtution of the British upper house renders it net only impotent but inefficient. There are many who would like to ese It on R par with the United States senate. Others would like to see It abolished altogether. Would Limit Members. This situation Is recognized by the house of lords itself. The latest move was to vote by 52 to 8 that "It is desirable that early steps should be taken to limit the number of members of the house of lords und to make provision for an elective representative or nomination as would insure t^ each 'political .party a fair position In the house of lords." • . , Three Parts to Parliament. Theoretically, parliament is divided In three parts, the king, the house of commons and the house of lords and the assent of each component is requfred before an Act of parliament cSft become a law, with certain exceptions. Actually, the house of commons makes the luws, because the king supports its 'decisions and the commons control the lords with the threat of creating any number of peers needed to pass a bill through the house of lords should the upper house prove recalcitrant.

Khitting Craze SweepiMfA Through Smith College NMthampton, Mass. -- A knitting craze has broken out like an epidemic at Smith college. f * The more sfvere manifestations 4re as yet confined to dormitories, but it Is feared that campus and classrooms may yet feel the effects of the sweep. In its wake are found such utilitarian articles as sweater suits, rather thaa the more strictly domeetic comforter. The most desolate locality in the ! stricken houses is the dining roam. Students, according to a newly passed regulation, are not allowed to bring their knitting to meals, lest, perchance, the yarn become confused with the food, It said, including that food with the Italian name. The Victorian pastime Is explained by the. victims, not as a return to naive artleasness, but aa a Itluiapll of sophistication. Proof of Scotch Thrift Found in Bankbooks Glasgow, Scotland.--Scottish thrift is not fiction. One of every three the population has a bankbook, and savings for 1928 constitute a record, says the annual report of the Glasgow Savings hank. The amount due depositors Is $120,- IMM).<K)<). an increase of $4,900,000 over last year, while 40.000 "homesafe*"--* small cash boxes--are In use. The number o( depositors, the vol* nme of business transacted, the balance at depositors' credit and the reserve each constitu^a a them, the sum total of collections has been' large." The Collector regretted to admit that these contributors to tax collections are comparatively small-salaried people, many of them artisans working at a trade or employees of corporations and business houses. Mrs. Reinecke said, "A number of the delinquents have claimed headship of families and in some cases more than one person has claimed exemption as the head of the same family and had taken the exemption of $3,500.00 when they were only entitled to claim the deduction of $1,500.00 plus the allowance for dependents." Continuing, the Collector Explained that many of these profitable investigations • of taxpayers had been developed through checking up on information formst No. 1099, furnished in accordance with law, by employers. MTB. Reinecke said, "For every one caught in the net of inveatigation, there are from five to ten, ev |M>re, from this source aldae the past two years have been very large. Usually tlie ofie who Is fount! to have avoided payment of, tax for one year, has been discovered liable for at least five years, so they naturally dislike the process. Of course, those who file voluntarily are accorded more lenient treatment tf an error is found, than those who Have never filed at all." "On the other hand," die continued, "we have hundreds of persons, who clutter up the machlnerjr of smoothly- going office operation by filing returns needlessly. "I find that we are having a considerable number of inquiries at the service desks in regard • to the requirements for filing. In most cases, this reply suffices:--'You must file if your net income is $1,500.00, but if you are married and living with .wife, or husband, and your income is under $3,500.00, you need not file. However, if .you are in business or have a gross income of $5,000.00 or more, you mtist file, regardless how sn^all your Bet income may be.' " r The definition of the personal exemption of the head of a family, the allowance of which authorizes the deduction of $3,500.00, is this, "a head of a family is an individual who actually supports and Maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation." The Collector indicatotf that the interpretations I given to^the above definition has varied from poe purpose of the law in more ways Jttan scarcely any other provision Of « Revenue Act, and its applicatifa jnas caused many -a dispute. 1 Mmr Reinecke's advigfe to those ww Mte not had official approval of the$r $bums to being heada of famiwho hear about it.

OF WEIRD PACT OF DEATH Poranr Wif« Afrntd to Stjkt* ' Killing Mu. s;f 8an Francisco.--An amasiag story of a death pact by which Garlhsd Wiillams, twenty-eight, was to kiri his former wife and then submit to execution by the state was related fo police by Williams after his arrest on a charge of muMering the woman, Mrs. Lorraine Ambrose, wbp was ftfyutg choiked to death here. 0 f- Williams said Mrs. Ambrose- Biyd begged him to ti^rn on the gas so they might die together, but he had refused, saying he could never commit suicide. "I agreed to kill her and then give myself up so that the law would take care of my death," police said Williams told them. They added that Williams' story had the ring of truth, although several points required Investigation. ' The prisoner said he had "several little things to* attend to" and had de> ferred surrendering until his affairs were in order. Williams asserted he . and his wife were happy together for four years, until they were separated by "a double crossing friend" wfca carrted'tales to Mrsi Williams. "She left me, and I did not follow or molest her," police quoted Williams as saying. "The other day she came to Ay room and wanted to talk thing? over. • "Two days later she called me on tite telephone and asked the to, visit her. We went to my rooms. "She,, tried to coax me to turn on the gas so we could die together, but I told her I could not kill myself. "Then I thought bf letting the police tiil*e care of me. . She agreed to that, plan. " 'Be mire and do a goo^ job,' she said. 'Good-by, Bill.' 1 "She just lay still while? I choked her. Then I cut her wrists' with a safety razor blade. • : "I fooled around there for «n"tiour or so, tnade myself a cup of coffee, und then left. I was goiag to give myself up as soon as I made a' tew\ arrangements, but the police 'got me before 1 was quite ready. J "It doesn't matter, though, because I am ready to die.
