ADOPTED "WIVES"

SCHEME TO INCREASE A MOTEEE'S " '' ALLOWANCE. An appellant,.with two brothers in,the ■Anhyi was paying £2 a week : towards tho support of his. widowed mother and her' five young children, told the Middlesex Appeal Tribunal (England) recently that the maximum amount a mother could receive in Britain was 12s. 6d. a week, irrespective of the number of her sons serving. ' The case was adjourned several times for inquiries, and ultimately Mr. H. Nield, M.P., in dismissing the appeal, said that the Middlesex War Pensions Committee had confirmed the viev/~of Lord Enfield (a member of the committee and the tribunal) that each of tho brothers could adopt one iOf the sisters as. his wife,, thereby securing, a wife's separation-allowance. The other children would be provided for in the mother's allowance. The only point on which a question might arise would be if those allowances exceeded the pre-war allowance, but that might be adjusted. A month would be given in which to carry out .the formalities.
