ENGLISH “POOL” HOMES
LONDON, July 15.—“Pooling”
homes is being resorted to by many
women whose husbands have gone to
the war front, as a means of living
with some degree of comfort despite
the general heavy reduction in in
comes.
More and more of it is likely as
fresh groups of married men are cal
led to the colors.

; which have been published illustrates
the system.
The combination was affected by
' three sisters, all Londoners.
Of the trio, two had two children
each, the third three.
Their husbands’ incomes had
amounted to about $G0 weekly each.
Their war allowances were about
$10 weekly to each of the mothers
with two children; a trifle more to the
one with three.
On $10 weekly each, it was obviou
that these three households, maintain
ed separately, would have to give up
everything but the barest necessaries
of life. Instead of doing this, they
“pooled” resources, moved into the
country, where living is considerably
cheaper than in London and are living
comfortably, though economically, the
combined family being rather large
on their $30 weekly.
Advocates of the “pooling” system
suggest that, as in this case, combina
tions be formed by groups of relatives
or old friends, for the purpose of re
ducing the possibilities of internal
friction.
It is agreed that the exercise of a
good deal of tact and self-control are
called for, in any event, but these
have been developed to a remarkable
extent in England by the war.
In some groups, of which most con
sist of two or three families, the work
has been systematically divided, one
woman acting as nurse, another car
ing for the housekeeping and a third,
in a number of cases, swelling the
joint income by outside work.
A good many women with large
houses, which they could not keep up
alone in the breadwinner’s absence,
are taking in the wives and children
of other soldiers.
The “pool” affected in this way pre
serves at least one establishment and
saves several other families from the
dreariness of cheap hotels or board
ing houses.
The experiment is proving so great
an economy that some authorities on
domestic science believe it will con
tinue to a considerable extent, in a
more or less modified form, even after
the war.
MARDI GRAS OF
THE RANGE COUNTRY
CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 26.—
Cheyenne’s Frontier Days celebration
famous as “the Mardi Gras of the
range country,” and heralded by Wy
oming as the greatest of all tourna
ments of “wild western” sports, open
ed today with hundreds of cowboys
and cowgirls from the various west
ern states entered for the contests of
skill and daring.
Cheyenne claims, in its frontier
days celebrations, of which this is the
twentieth, to have originated the idea
of preserving the picturesque and ro
mantic features of the early days. In
the program that the celebration com- '
mittee has arranged it has endeavor
ed to surpass all previous frontier
days with a continuous succession of
“thrills” for the four days that the
present festival lasts.
There will be broncho busting, relay
racing, “bull-dogging,” steer roping,
and similar contests without end; In
dian" war dances and squaw races by
full-blooded Indians, bucking contests,
“plain and fancy” lariat demonstra
tions, and finally, the major events— >
the ladies’ relay race, gentlemen’s re- ;
lay race and the champion bucking
contest. Thousands of dollars in cash
prizes, saddles, belts, hats, boots and
other trophies have been posted.
Among the participants in the
events will be John B. Kendrick, gov
ernor of Wyoming, who was himself
a cowboy at an early stage of his
career, and who has broncho busting
as well as political achievements to.
his credit. Winners of the major
events will carry the title of world’s i
champion. The best riders of other
western round-ups have been attract- j
ed to the celebration and their strug
gle will be with the “world’s worst
horses”—outlaws from the wildest
ranges remaining in the western
states.
One of the many novelties that have
been planned is a race from Denver
to Cheyenne between an aeroplane, an
automobile and a railroad train.
The 'celebration is a public enter
prise, being controlled by the people
of Cheyenne and being staged in the
public park. The city has arranged
for the accommodation of 50,000 vis
itors, many of whom have traveled
from the farthest sections of the
Rocky mountain states by automo
bile.
