voting to the task an inadmissibe amount OF time
and labor; but unable to form q satisfactory

means for their correction. That it was not more
radical in its recommendations was Z Gisappolnt-

its usefulness however in paving the way for the

any OF the issues. That its conclusions VIII have
weight not only with the Secretary OF the Navy,

with the friends of the institution all over the
country is not to be doubted, for its members are
men Of broad reputation, without bias. and win

If London street names not always what
they seem, the names of the great parishes
usually are. Take Lambeth for instance. That
vast district has retained its name practically
unaitered since the days of Edward the Con
fessor, VINO granted charter in which II is
styled Lambehith. Some illiterate scribe, who
helped in the making of "Domesday. did. in
deed make an effort to obliterate its real name
by calling it Lanchei. but his efforts were, fort
unately, in vain. William Rufus in another
charter named it Lambeth. since when it has
kept its title unsullied. In the old days Lam
behith from hithe, haven) was the great river
port whence agricultural produce was ferried
across the Thames to the more popuous coun-
try opposite. There still many "hithes" left
US, such Queenhithe and Rotherhithe and
although their original functions have gone
there still remains a shadow to remind us of
their departed glory.
