history records the fact that The Gey-

exhilarating. but most commonplace.
Later on, after he had travelled more
widely in the Island Empire and made
the acquaintance of men who knew the
country, he became convinced that no
gentleman travelling alone in Japan
need fear embarrassment from unso-
licited female attendance while in the

other countries besides Japan.

"Trust God and Sally"

The worthy people OF the historic
town of Newark, Nottingham, Eng.
land, have lately been much exercised
in their minds regarding the selection
of motto to go with the borough
arms. Ultimately it was decided that
the motto OF the town should be the
historic remark made by Major Smith
in 1915. Trust God and Sally"
It was in that year when Newark
was surrendered to the Scottish army
after sustaining three sieges during
the civil war, and the remark was
made to Lord Bellayse when the for.
tunes of King Charles we're at the
lowest ebb. The word sally" OF
course, as used in Newark's motto,
means to rush forth, leap out, or issue
suddenly.
