Countess of Tankerville, who is good

For years the Earl and Countess

Sir George and Lady Cooper are be-
coming notable figures in English So
ciety. Lady Cooper is a sister of
James Henry Smith. of New York,
| who. with his sister inherited the
millions left by silent" Smith, the r3-
cuse of the London Reform club.
Sir Georges barontecy is new, being

Tory government, 1t will not be many
years. however, before Sir George IS

Sir George and Lady Cooper are
now at Glenfeshie Lodge, Inverness
shire. Scotland, where they are enter
tanning numerous guests for grouse
and deer shooting. James Henry Smith
is expected to visit his sister this
month.
Glenfeshie is one of the biggest
shooting estates in Scotland Sir
George Copper recently leased 1t from
that famous Scottish laird, the Mach-
intosh of Macintosh. 1t contains 4O,-
600 acres, all devoted to providing
game for months shooting for Sir
George and his guests.
/ Sir George and Lady Cooper have
a splendid town house in London ana

plays at farming. having 1000 acres
under cultivation; while his herd OF

The Coopers are feeling their way
ahead in London society slowly ii IS
expected that before many seasons
they will be amongst the most lavish
entertainers in London, rivalling the
Duke of Davonshire himself.
There are nearly million paupers
in Finland and Wales, excluding Ire
land and Scotland. The problem OF
pauperism is one of the most difficult
confronting the liberal government.
AS the population of England and
Wales Is roundly about 34,0OO,OOO, the
number of registered paupers, 926, ,741,
gives an approximate percentage OF
27 per 1000, or about one IN 81.
OF the 926,731 paupers, 14S,629 are
registered in London. The rate OF
pauperism to the total population OF
the country grows steadily. The "un-
employed" problem will be more So
rious in London next winter than ever
before.
Parliament has not yet been able
successfully to deal with the general
problem of pauperism, nor with the
specific one of London. 1t is probable
that parliament at the forthcoming
fall season will be compelled to adopt
some radical measure to deal with
the menace of poverty-for 1t has be-
come menace to the whole country.
Radicals hope that in seeking to
mitigate the evil of poverty the un-
just, feudal land laws of England Will
be reformed. Many economists attrib-
ute all of the woes of the submerged
tenth" in England to the present OPP
pressve land laws, which relieve the
land owners OF their fair proportion
of the tax burden of the country, and
enables English and imported mill
ionaires TO maintain vast estates for
hunting purposes, preventing the cul-
tivation Of the land.
Scotland Yard is looking for band
Of thieves who accomplished one of
the most novel and daring forms of
theft recently committed.
The victim of the theft was an arls-
tocrat, q younger son of a duke, who
had been invited for a weeks shoot
ing at a millionaire's country house in
Yorkshire. When the aristocrat ar
rived at the house, he found that his
valet had been left behind somewhere
on the road to London. His baggage
however, had arrived safely.
While dressing for dinner he recelv.

he had missed the train en- route. A
moment later a servant entered and
announced that he had been sent by
his host to look after the guest
The new valet aided him 20 dress

rooms. The host said he hadn't.

land Yard detectives found that the
real valet had missed his train; that
gang of crooks had observed the incl

got into the house easily and so to
the aristocrats room, where he first
valeted and then robbed him.
The city of Nottingham has satIs-
tact0rily solved the problem to abol-
lsh the dust nuisance created by auto
mobiles. The hundreds of automo-
biles that pass through Nottingham
daily do so now without raising any
dust at all.
For the past three months the city
oniclals have been experimenting wth
calcium chloride. Its use on the
streets and macadam roads has abol-
ished the dust nuisance, and the cost

The calcium chloride Is dissolved IN
the water that the carts sprinkle over
the streets and roads. 1t has so great
