HOUSE OF LORDS BECOMING RAPIDLY AMERICANISED
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. Noon. LONDON, Thurs. The House of Lords is becoming rapidly Americanised, through impecunious peers being forced to marry heiresses generally from the United States to restore their fortunes, so the Oxonian doctor, F. C. Schiller, told the Royal Society. He said this was expedient, but was sometimes biologically ruinous, as heiresses were often the last effort of a degenerate and expiring stock. Dr. Schiller suggested as a remedy that when the first holder of a peerage dies the children and grandchildren should meet to choose one whom they regarded as the worthiest successor.
