LONDON LAVISH
|N|TS CHARITY
Annual Expenditure for the Re-
lief of the Poor Is
$4,000

London is rich in charities. as well
as in many other things. Ten mil
lion pounds is the estimated income
a charities in London, which Is more
than twice the annual expenditure of
E4,000.0 900 on poor relief This in
teresting fact is mentioned in London
Statistics, a volume which contains
many curious facts regarding the me-
tropolis.
1t is pointed out, for instance, that
of the 67,137 old age pensioners in
London, 1854 are women. This pre-
ponderance of women is partly ex-
planned by the fact that widows in
the whole of London number 199S96
Islington, by the way, has the
largest number of bachelors, 90,072
and Wandsworth the most spinsters,
90, $50.
Referring again to London's char
tiles, it is interesting to note that
over nine and a half million meals
We're given to necessitous children in
1912. each child receiving an average
of just over five meals. More than
seven and a half million books are
lent by the public libraries in year,
juveniles taking considerably over
one million.
That Londoners take full advant-
age of the facilities for amusement
is illustrated by the fact that at least
one and a half million people visit
theatre. music hall, cinema show.
or concert hall in London every
week.
Crime still flourishes, the number
of persons tried for indictable of
lenses ranging from 1900 to 10000
Among other interesting facts con-
tanned in the volume referred to are
the figures regarding traffic. Alto
gether there are 2,192 miles of streets
in the metropolis. of which $50 miles
are laid with tram lines. The busiest
spot in London would appear to be
Piccadilly, east of Berkeley street,
where 31,345 vehicles, of which 21,619
were motor driven, pass along it in
twelve hours. London bridge is the
busiest bridge with 1928 vehicles in
the same time. but Westminster

A RESCUE

By F. a. mitchell

Have you ever been at the seashore
on a clear, cold day in winter with a
stiff gale blowing? There Is something
exhilarating in buttoning your coat up
to the chin and breasting the wind,
Out on the water as far as you can
see the waves seem to be tumbling
over one another, like wild animals
playing leapfrog Near by at regular
intervals a huge billow comes rolling
in curves. Its crest breaks into a
white foam like the name of gigantic
horse and seethes on the smooth beach.
1t was such day as this that
stood on a dune looking seward. 1t
was all ocean and beach, except for a
dock built of planks and spiles, the
waves rolling under the former and
past the latter. Back Of the dunes was
a village, Of which the inhabitants
were fisher folk, making a precarious
living out on the inconstant waters.
