LIVE ON HALF
LADY HOUSTON’S ADVICE
LONDON, Feb. 17.
"I think there is a sort of Schneider Cup method of getting Australia out of her difficulties,” said Lady Houston, the rich widow.
‘•Let everyone with over £l5O income voluntarily forfeit half of it and resolve to live on the other half until the deficiency is made up. This requires a little self-sacrifice, but is surely worth while. You must begin at the top. “It was tho method Mussolini adopted to put Italy on her feet.” Ever since she made her offer to tho Government to finance the British entry for the next Schneider* Cup race, Lady Houston had been inundated with appeals to assist other deserving causes, mainly personal.
She has been obliged to issue an announcement that, although she would like to read all the personal appeals for help, the number of these letters is so great that it is impossible to do so.
