Times Jumbo 634 38 across

[rogdodge]

Can anyone help me with 38 across-
Widows sacrifices sufficient to get factory demolished?
S-T-S is what I've got.
Incidentally do any of you out there send your answers in over the net and if so has anyone won yet?
thanks
Roger

sufficient - satisfactory - take away factory - leaves " satis "

satis is a hindu widow who cremates herself on her husband's funeral pyre

[mike b]

sati singular, usually transliterated suttee: can be either the immolated widow herself, or more usually the custom...
