year 1949 stood at the Australian rate. As for the proportion of suicide between the sexes, it is in every country from two to five men for every one woman.
Your house in the future: the scientists are working with all their might for your sake. Ultraviolet rays will flood the inside of your rooms and disinfect them completely; screens will be set in the windows to keep the particles of dust suspended in the air from coming in with the air, and if you wish to remove the dust from the furniture and carpets you will set these screens in motion, and they will send out strong currents of air that carry it off.. In your house there will be a calculating machine that recites to you lists of the kinds of food containing all the nutritive
elements, with mention of the quantities needed for children and grown-ups.. Your front door will have no bell; but the moment someone stands before it, the image of the person standing at the door will appear on a television screen inside and a bell will ring; if you wish to open the door, you press a button and it opens.. Over your garden will be set domes of plastic that shield you and your guests from the cold, let you enjoy the sun, and keep the flowers and vegetables growing within them. This is some of what the scientists are preparing for you.
Unity: Egypt is working to join its great societies—such as the Mabarrat Muhammad Ali, the New Woman, the Ambulance Society, and the Red Crescent—into a single society to be called the Red Crescent, which corresponds to the Red Cross in other countries. Rules of work in peace and in war will be laid down and made general, so that it may perform its mission in full when the need arises.
And then—can you believe that only a hundred years ago, that is, in the year 1852, and in the heart of London, a man sold his wife Margaret Huntley for a glass of beer and a hot pie? And that Thompson, one of England's peasants, sold his wife for twenty shillings, crying as he sold her: I married her to be my solace, and she turned into a curse upon me. Nor was Thompson the only man to sell his wife, as the papers say; it was a familiar sight for a man to go out dragging his wife behind him, a long rope wound about her neck, to put her up at public auction for sale. Cases of wives being pawned, or given out on loan and on hire, occurred among the upper class as well. In Belgrade, for instance, women were sold by the scale—and the more a woman weighed, the higher her price, of course. Glory be to Him who restored those men to their senses and changed that state for a better one.
