Accomplished Husbands
Thero are obviously more husbands in Great Britain than Professor A. E. Heath, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Swansea, who take pride in the housework they can do (states the London "Daily Mail"). Sinco the "Mail" published a recital of the professor's prowess in spring-cleaning, cooking, and other household jobs most men usually try to avoid, the existence of many rivals has been disclosed. "I know many men who can beat him," a Folkestone reader writes. "Can
the professor cook a good omelette or kill a fowl, clean it, truss it, cook it, and eat it? Can he paint and enamel the house throughout, and distemper the ceilings? Can he repair furniture and fix the blinds; dam socks as well as any woman? Most of my family can, including my cousin, a general, late of the Indian Army. During the past fortnight we have been without servants, and my wife has been ill. I have run the whole show —and my wifo has been ablo to eat everything!"
