Margot Asquith Airs
Views on Prohibition
and Other Matters
New York.—Marmot Asquith, the
‘■grandmother of the dapper,” inter
viewed and written about in a score of
■cities in the United States and Canada,
is not satisfied just to read about her
self in American newspapers, she said
Tuesday. She is eager for news from
home—England.
‘‘Your newspapers are all right, in
the way they have treated me, but the
"top’ of them js abominable. I never
read the first sheet, which is usually
filled with murders and suicides. Char
lie Chaplin's pants or Mary Pickford’s
■dogs. They screech and bellow”—the
front pages, not the dogs.
Between pull’s on her ever-present
cigaret, leaning forward eagerly from
her divan seat in a beautifully appoint
ed hotel suite. Ladv Asquith displayed
■an eager interest in everything she
said in a rapid-fire interview in wljich
she gave her views on international af
fairs. the British cabinet crisis, Amer
ican prohibition, American cities and
American traits in general.
Tn forceful lunguage Margot charac
terized the Versailles peace conference
as "fruitless,” the Cannes conference
as “fatal.”
"Your Washington conference was
THE conference,” she declared. "That
conference accomplished something.
We were well represented by Mr. Bal
four, don’t you think? And your Mr.
Hughes must be a wonderful man. And
she drawled ihe "wonderful.”
New York is her choice of American
cities she has visited. Margot confided.
"It was good to get back here,” she
said. "Boston and Chicago were won
derful to me, but somehow in New
York everything is more alive. £
like it.”
American life is too fast and furious
for her English sensibilities to grasp,
Lady Asquith said.
“You are too fond of money,” she
charged. "You work too hard, much
harder than we do in‘ England. Over
there we take our time and try to eojoy
life. We don’t live so strenuously and
we take more and longer holidays and
go in for sports.”
To American prohibition Margot
raised a warning finger and admitted
she had told President Harding what
she thought about it.
"At balls and parties in England the
boys and girls don’t get even this
much drunk,” she said, holding two
fingers of her right hand very close to

gether. “Here, t understand, it is
common practice since prohibition for
young folks t,o drink and get drunk at,
dances. But when I am traveling and
am thirsty, or am having my dinner
and ask for just one sip of brandy, I am
told it is impossible. When 1 first
came over t thought I would admire
prohibition, tint now that I have seen
how it works ! think it is abominable.’5
Virginia Dean Sees
’Planes Hospital Aid
Chicago. -The saving “Call the am -
bulance” soon will be “Call the aero
plane,’’ Dr. Theodore Hough, dean of
the University of Virginia Medical
School and president of the Association
of American Medical Colleges, said
Monday, id an address before the lat
ter organization.
“Aeroplane ambulances as a means
of transporting patients in areas where
there are few good roads soon will be
common,’’ said Dr. Hough. “We no
longer are dependent on railroad trans
portation for patients. '
“The doctor also will use t he aero
plane, aud in the near future, when he
receives a hurry call, he will rush to
the hangar in his hack yard, put a col
lapsible cot in the back seat, and in a
short time have his patient in a first
class hospital.”
Yanks Explore ‘Treasure Island.’
San Salvador.—A party of American
treasure seekers has reached Sun Jose.
Costa Iliea. and applied to the {Govern
ment for permission to search for cold
that is supposed to have hpen buried on
Cocos island. This island, 545 miles
southwest of Panama, is the locale of
Robert Louis Stevenson’s "Treasure
Island.”
Adventurers have at one time and
another visited this uniuhahited spot, in
search of Spanish cold which Captain
W. L. Morgan and his Spanish crew
are supposed to have stolen from Span
ish churches in Peru id 1820. They
invariably returned empty-handed.
Broncho Buster Tossed.
San Francisco.—Hereafter Ray Hill,
covvbov and "broncho buster” from
Texas, is going to stick to "hosses.”
Hill was thrown through the wind
shield of an automobile early yesterday
morning, when it struck a safety sta
tion. "I just naturally can’t hang on
to those things when they get to buck
ing that way,” Hill told the Central
Emergency Hospital doctor who sewed
up the gashes in his lip and cheek.
Robert O’Neill, who drove the ma
chine, was uninjured.
