HUNGARY: Tempted
From the office of brusque Minister of Interior Béla de Scitovszky de Nagyker went forth last week a general decree:"No woman who has not attained her 40th birthday shall be employed as a chambermaid in any hotel in the Kingdom of Hungary."
With utmost candor Herr Scitovszky informed correspondents that he had acted "to protect the morals of men," expressed the view that "both married and single men have been tempted by young chambermaids."
