welcomed this manifestation of puLLc

enterprises. CIear-headed men realize
at the same time that some of tle in
situations made prominent by their FAR

SHOULD LADY GODiVA BE CLAD?
A Problem That Faces the Committee
 In Charge of Coventry Pageant.

From the London Express.
 The brave old city of Coventry will have a Godiva pageant on August T., next, and the historic committee which has been formed to preserve the unities" is divided on the important question of how the twentieth century impersonator of the famous wife of Earl Leofric should be dressed.
 The historical purists assert that Lady Godiva should not be dressed at all. Her historic costume, so far as Coventry Is concerned, consisted of her innocence.
 On the, other hand, certain members of the committee believe that this linn tied costume is beneath the dignity of a countess. It is not a case where the good old British principle of splitting the difference can be applied. The spectacle of Lady Godiva confronted with the problem of which to wear, a blouse or a petticoat, is not to be thought of.
 It is believed that the adherents to the historical costume will win, so that Coventry, the city of so many brave traditions, will not be shocked by a pageant in which Lady Godiva in frills and furbelows will repeat her famous ride through the gray-stoned city.
 This course, it is believed, will be taken in the interest of the theatrical
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-05-19

agent who will select the lady to take the part of Lady Godiva, as well as from the historic point of view
 If youth and beauty win the day, as they always do, then Coventry will have countess divinely tall, and most divinely feminine, who will receive not only the applause of the multitude, but also a substantial fee.
 Several ambitious young ladies have written to the committee offering to wear the historic costume, and riding through Coventry just for the fun of the thing" but the committee is deaf to their blandishments, and will inter- fere in nowise with the selection of the fair countess by the theatrical agent, provided the lady is (ungallant words) presentable."
 Many of the neighboring towns and villages have announced their inten- tion of sending several thousands of their citizens to enact the now hon. orable part of Peeping Tom. In return for the privilege of using his eyes, Peeping Tom will be expected to drop largesse into the collecting boxes offered to his notice by the beauty and chivalry of Coventry, on behalf of the very deserving charities of the town, chief of them being the Coventry hos pital.
 The pageant procession is to be at once worthy of ancient and modern Coventry. It will be headed by St. George, the patron saint of England, who, according to tradition, was born at Coventry

Aiken Vs. Cast Iron.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 A new metal which last week attracted considerable attention in Germany, and which gives promise of becoming of no little importance to many branches of industry has received the name aiken,
 the name being a compromising of the first letters of aluminium and zinc, of which it is composed It Is claimed that 1t Is much more elastic, and that it has 1t equals cast iron in strength. but that a great superiority over iron in that 1t does not rust easily and takes very high polish.

now there are more calls for help from employers than the free employment agencies are able to fill from their ap- plcations for work
 Last year there were over Il, 900 requests for workmen and work women which could not be filled while the number of applications for work which did not find employment was only 3312.

 Every morning in the week except Sun day little groups of men and women gather about three doorways in three diff ferent sections of Chicago. When the weather is biting they stand huddled In neighboring hall ways. down protecting basement stairs and sometimes in the case of men, in the nearest saloon.
 About nine o'clock they come out of

 In all there come every year to the three offices which are maintained in Chicago, between 30,000 and 40,0O0 men and women whom the state attempts to place in work free of charge. AS the bureaus have established themselves in the business life of the city the attempt has came to square with the deed until

 declares that he is only awaiting MT. Goulds decision.
 The prohibition of the performance of the "Mkado, not only in London, but throughout the provinces has caused a great sensation. If the liberal government are so afraid of offending the susceptibil- ities of Japan, people are asking what the government will do when MT. George Edwards produces his next Gaiety piece. In the theatrical world it is well known that the central motive In the next Gaiety piece Is founded on the escapade of the famous Koepeniclk, who held up German major and exposed the German army an it's red tape methods to the ridicule of Europe. Moreover, the Kaiser will fig ure (off the stage) In the Gaiety pre- dictory. Seeing that the relation between Germany and England are much more strained than usual, every one is ask ing what the lord chamberlain will do after the Gaiety first night. He has abso- lute powers to veto any piece. Even at this early stage MT. Edwards Is con sidering the advisability of cutting some of the allusions and incidents in the piece.
