8ince th? death of his father, the

matically raised the major to the

House of Lords, the heir has con
sulted th? best legal talent to see
if he might pass along the title,
it being suggested that Bobby
Shaw, I?ady Astor's boy from her
flrst husband, Robert Gould Shaw,
be given th? peerasje MaJ. Astor
Is still consulting nf?rers of the
crown on the subject, but there
seems no way of avoiding the her
itage of nobility.
MaJ. Astor's object has been to
remain in the House of Commons,
where he hoped t*. attain distinc
tion, of which he gave great prom
ise. He also desires to continue his
work In the ministry' of health,
where no public man In Britain has
shown such enthusiastic interest In
the application of scientific sanita
tion as he has. and this is work or
vital Importance to the country.
MsJ. Astor thought he might es- I
cape the peerage, where the ambi
tious nowadays consider that the?'
are "buried sllve.*' His father de
voted year? of effort and his huge
fortune and risked ?nd Incurred
humiliation, and the scoffs of his ?
countrymen in America to get the
viscountcy.
Lord Selbourne once tried to quit
th? House of Lords for the Com
mon?. He did not succeed, tradi
tion being too strong.
