London Hospitals a Disgrace.

Only very few weeks ago something
was printed about the disgraceful state of
affairs in London hospitals which are at
least a century behind time, and the opin-
ion was expressed that the cause was in
the fact that all these institutions are
supported solely by voluntary contribu-
tons. while those who administer the
hospitals are obliged to submit their ac-
counts to no authority whatever
Since then, in a speech at Oxford. Sir
William Osler condemned the voluntary
hospital system in the strongest possible
terms and not single hospital expert
has been able or has even seriously tried
to prove his criticism unjust.
In all London there is not today sin
gle up-to-date hospital, and even the new
Kings County Hospital. which has not
even been opened vet but which Queen
Mary will open Saturday next. is far By
hind similar much older institutions on
the continent and in America.
King George is taking d great interest
in the London Museum, and is looking
forward to its opening at Stafford House,
we'll known that King George is an ar
dent collector of stamps. but few are
aware of the interest he takes in an
tiquities generally. He has personally
acquired very fine collection of flint
and prehistoric Implements found In the
neighbOrhood of Sandringham. and may
be always seen enthusiastically search
ing for fossils whenever excavations are
being made upon his estate. King George
also possesses a quantity OF old prints
and engravings of London's buildings
and life, and one of the secrets of his
friendship with John Burns is that the
president of the local government board
has made himself an authority upon all
things appertaining to London. past and
present.

PARIS, July 10, 1919
1t is hard to understand why the tango s
merits and dement's should continue to
interest Parisians. But it is an undeni-
able fact that the Argentine national
dance, which. by the way, is repudiated
by the Argentine legation, still remains
the subject of most heated discussions in
the salons and everywher..
The exotic dance was fortunate in ar
irving here at time wner. We were prac-
tically at our wits end for a new subject
of conversation. Society found what 1t
wanted the very moment the chief of
police forbade tango to be danced in pub
lie, and now tango has reached the
heights of it's popularity. 1t may even
survive this dreadfully hot summer. 1t
is discussed in society a the ''ffves'' in
the Bots. and tout Paris is at present
divided into two hostile campsfor and
against tango.
Since the tango has oeal "epudiated by
the Argentine embassy. it is no. known
where the dance comes from, bu. Paris
has adopted it and the other evening IL
was danced most beautifully At ball

LONDON. July Io. 1913.
According to all reports from Germany.
the young Prince of Wales. who went to
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS a little over two
weeks ago. Is enjoying himself immense
ly and free from all the usual restraint
which hindered his mental development
at home. He is said to be losing the
shyness which has hitherto been the
most noticeable trait in his character,
and which Is anything but a valuable
asset to future king.
At Neu-Strelitz no restrictions what
ever hinder his movements, and the citi-
zens Of the little city, who are on most
confidential terms with the members of
the reigning family, very often address
the prince In the street and encourage
him to indulge in a free and easy con-
versation.
For the first time in his life, probably.
the Prince of Wales realizes that he Is a
real living human being and not merely
royal automaton to be wound and set
going when his mother and his tutor Mr..
Hansell. touch the spring.
Physically, too, the prince is being
benefited by his sojourn abroad, for he
is indulging in long pedestrian excur-
sions which have improved his too pal
lid complexion and given him a most
hearty appetite.
Likes German Rye Bread.
1t is even recorded in the local papers
that he has developed a liking for the
wholesome German rye bread. which an
inmate of an English poorhouse would
not even look at, but which Is far more
nourishing than white bread, especially
as baked in England.
If all that is read in German papers
about the prince is true he will return
much healthier and certainly much
more manly little fellow.
The tradespeople of Windsor. who for
generations have had the reputation Of
being among the most loyal of English
citizens. are beginning to grow exceeding
ly bitter against the royal family. who
have been residing at the castle for some
time. And it must be admitted that they
have reason to complain.
In the first place, the expenditures Of
the royal court have been cut down as
much as possible and little more than half
the quantity of goods they used to sell to
the castle in King Edwards time Is now
ordered
And. besides, the number of visitors to
Windsor has dwindled down considerably
because the state apartments and other
sights have been kept closed because of
the queens fear of the suffragettes.

Dancing Renaissance Delightful.

Dancing has become Il sport: 1t is de-
iIghtful to witness its renaissance 1t
keeps on young and slim and supple.
Even people of forty-five and fifty are
taking dancing lessons. 1t has killed
flirting, OF at least lnitigated it. One has
no time to coin compliments or express
ones admiration in perfervid language.
\ few years ago dancing seemed to be
going out; the young people did not
dance Now every one dances, even the
dowagers. One does not think of asking
a non-dancing man To dance any more
than one who does not play cards to a
bridge party. There IL nothing for either
to do. Dancing has much affected bridge.
The movement has come. undoubtedly
from our new love Of sport and of ar
ton. Also, Ii has been inspired by the
risian fetes given in Paris People can
not play tennis or polo or skate at a
party, and SO they dance Hostesses find
1t the favorite amusement, just as ii is
the gayest and most sociable.
The new fashion has given new dignity
as well as a new activity to the dancing
master. II has created almost new

and dances with the hostess. The spirit

eighteenth centuries, is upon us The
note is elegance whether ii is ballet or
comedy or dance.
The social fetes in Paris this season
are particularly artistic.

TIGERS SNATCH
REAL VICTORY
FROM SPOKANE

They snatched victory out of
defeat.
The Tigers did, and although
1t wasn't that sort of grand
stand finish where with three men
on the bags and the boys are three
behind, the teams bully comes up
and xnocks the ball out of the lot,
it was flood finish nevertheless.
the sort we are satisfied with.
And the worst of 1t was that
the Bengals rubbed it in good.
Poor Mike Lynch, who goes home
every afternoon to water and NOW
the lawn with a complacence of
one of David Grayson's heroes,
went home yesterday but he
didn't NOW the lawn. He had an
"orful" crouch, and refused to
work.
Who wouldn't have a crouch?
The Indians made IT hits, as
good and healthy an article for
the production of talleys as ever
were manufactured, but they only
brought seven runs. Whereas
with 10 hits the Bengals made
eight runs, and won the game.
Right here is the logical point
to mention the star play of the
afternoon. And Mike Lynch was
the star. With a couple of men
on the bags Whitley Hensling, lat
est recruit from California, drove
the ball toward centerfield. The
sphere took sort of line drive
flight and 1t seemed as If it was
going over Lynch's head. The men
ton the bases were already half
way home and the fans on the
stands were on their feet cheering
the fleet runners. Mike was run
ming toward the corner with the
speed of Shasta Limited when
all of a sudden he lifted himself
into the air and with his bare
hand grabbed the ball from the
atmosphere. Lynch rolled over
IN the dirt two or three times and
then got up holding the ball in his
hands.
The game see-sawed until the
ninth when Fries and HARRISON
scored on timely hits.
The score:
