French Government Seeks to
Wipe Out Practice.
Paris. The French colonial office
in investigating ways* and means of
wiping out slave Seiling and slavery
in general in certain sections of
France’s possessions in Africa.
In the tribe ok the Kabylie, the
t rench colony in Africa, fathers sell
their daughters and brag of the high
prices they get for them. A Parisian
traveler. Lie Wideffe, who went to
Africa with Albert Sarraut, the French
colonial minister, and has just re
turned from extensive journeys in
the colonies, reports that France is
very much misguided in believing that
women- are comparatively free and
highly considered in the Bubylie tribe.
M* de Waleffe was told by a proud
father that he had sold ids first
daughter for 6,000 francs, but that he
got 14,000 francs for tlie second girl,
as she was very pretty. All the fathers
gather for their Turkish coffee at the
Caravanserai and discuss between
puffs of their narghiles (Turkish
water-pipes) tlie prices they expect to
get for their daughters or brag of the
amount somebody paid them.
Suitors Drive Hard Bargain.
The deals are always settled in the
typical oriental manner of bargaining.
The father asks several times as much
as he thinks he cun get and the suitor
offers as little as he can without In
sulting the maiden. Then they settle
down to business, each reducing or
raising the price as the hours pass.
Finally they reach a point midway be
tween the two original figures and the
transaction is over; but it has taken
days to accomplish.
The women of Kubylie are' sold at
an early age, sometimes at twelve or
thirteen years. Once they leave their
paternal roof for the harem of their
purchaser their days of pleasure are
over and they face a life-long slavery
of hard work.
The one. redeeming factor in tlie
sale of the women in Kabylie is that
they are sold only as wives.
In Asin Minor, where the many scat
tered tribes of Circassians sell their
women, the morality is not so high,

THIS BOY STUDENT IS A MARVEL
At Age of Seven Well Versed in
Several Sciences.
Astounds Psychologists of University
of California by Answers to Binet-
Simon Mentality Tests—ls
Mayflower Descendant.
Los Angeles.—William Elliot Brad
ford, who Is but se\en years of age,
Is in the fifth grade of the Woodcrest
school, and recently astounded a group
of psychologists nt the University of
California, southern brunch, by his
success in answering the Stanford uni
versity revision of the Binet-Simon
mentality tests.
These scientists found that topping
William’s seven-year-old body Is a
brain of a boy twice that age.
While rending n poera for the
psychologists he came across the word
‘voluptuous.” They asked him to go
and the daughters of the tribes are
sold to anybody as long as a high
enough price is paid.
Edhem Said Bey. a Turk who was
feeling acutely the servant problem in
Constantinople, tells of going to Asia
Minor and buying half a dozen ser
vants. He went to the first Circassian
village and asked the chief Jf the eld
ers to exhibit the daughters for sale.
Fathers Assemble Girls.
In the evening fifteen to twenty
girls were assembled In the town hall
with their fathers. They were dressed
to show themselves off to advantage.
Every man wanted as much as he
could get for nis daughter, and the
bey had to deal with them one by one.
listening to them enumerate the par
ticular charms and abilities.
After long bargaining with the
fathers the bey went to the market
and bought donkeys, buffaloes and
sllver-mounied arms for a tenth of the
price he had agreed upon for the
girls. These were then presented to
the fathers as payment.
When these girls are delivered they
are carefully veiled and can travel
anywhere with their purchasers un
molested. for in the Near Fast no
one, not even a government official,
would dare lift tlie veil of a Moslem
woman.

FILLS OUT HUSBAND’S TERM
Mrs. McAuley Served for Years as
Deputy for Her Late Husband in
Michigan County—Determined
to Enforce Law.
Bad Axe, Mich.—For the first time
in? the history of Michigan, and as far
as is known in the United States, a
woman has been appointed as county
sheriff, and lias been given full charge
of the men deputies tn the county.
And this woman, Mrs. Lula Mc-
Auley, is no novice at the Job either,
for she succeeds her husband, Donald
to a blackboard and write it. Without
hesitating or stopping to look at the
word twice, lie went to the board and
wrote the word correctly.
When the boy was two years <»f nge
he could put together the sections
of n Jigsaw puzzle map of the United
States correctly In a few moments.
But the thing which most amazed his
mother, Mrs. Edith Eddy Bradford,
was his memorization of the poem,
“Barbara Frietchie,” by Whittier, at
the age of six.
The boy’s favorite studies are an
cient history, zoology and natural his
tory.
Miss Jessamine Crapser, principal
of the Woodcrest school, said that
William Is qualified mentally to enter
the eighth grade.
His great, great, ever-so-great grand
father, William Bradford, came over
in the Mayflower and was the first
governor of Plymouth colony.
“Eden.” In the original Hebrew,
means “delight.”
WEDDED HIS SECRETARY
r
I Ilia M Vr
Congressman Benjamin Eairchild of
New York found his secretary. Miss
Elinor Parsons, twenty-six, such a de
sirable helpmate that he married her
recently. The wedding was the cul
mination of a war-time romance when
Miss Parsons came to the capitol as
an employee in the ordnance depart
ment. Inter becoming secretary to Mr.
Fairchild when he entered congress In
1919. Mr. Fairchild was a widower
and lost his only child, a son, in the
aviation service during the war.
McAuley, for many years the Huron
county sheriff, and has Served several
years as a deputy under him. Mc-
Auley would have finished his fourth
term of ofiice next January, but
caught a cold during a raid, which
later turned to pneumonia and re
sulted In his death.
Tc Finish Husband's Term.
Mrs. McAuley was appointed to |
complete her husband’s term by the j
unanimous consent of the Huron i
county probate judge, prosecutor and
county clerk.
The new “sherlffess” while, she says,
she is not an ardent “dry,” is deter
. mined that the state and national
I laws be lived up to within reason, and
i already she has engineered and taken
part in one raid among the hills of
. north Huron county.
She predicts that the most of her
troubles will come from illicit whis
key making. Already, she says, there
has been a growth in the number of
cases which she has had to handle
and she lays this to the report which
has reached adjacent counties “that a
woman is sheriff In Huron.”
Takes Active Part.
Mrs. McAuley says that a woman is
equipped by nature and ner mother
hood instincts to wield a great in
fluence for good over any community
frpm the sheriff’s office but says that
she is not inclined to run for re
election when her temporary appoint
ment expires next January.
In the meantime she has adopted
the policy of being present nt every
raid and arrw> made. Her office staff
consists of three male deputies and
she admits that most of the work of
making the actual arrests will de
volve on them, but, she asserts, it is
a sheriff’s duty to be present when an
arrest Is made and she intends to see
that this is carried out.
Mrs. McAuley admits that the
sheriff’s office is just as much a man’s
as any police commissionership In any
of the big cities but hopes to fill the
job satisfactorily despite her sex.
