 Second order for locomotives: An order for 200 locomotive engines of large size, which will cost consider ably over 100 million francs 2 1-2 million pounds), is reported to have been placed by the Belgian govern nlent with Messers. Armstrong, Whit worth and Go.

Orders for the re- | mainihg 190 engines have been placed partly in Canada and partly in the United States.
 An application to have a cenena in his church was granted to the Vicar of St. BartholomeW's by the Birmingham ! licensing justices yesterday. 1 The proposal was agreed to on the l understanding that the exhibition was not to. be run as a commercial proposi- l tion, and would take place only on | Sunday nights.

 M. Leon Bourgeois, who has just | been elected president of the French senate, and who opens the first meet ing of the League of Nations today,
 is one of the elder statesmen of France, and will be 69 in May. He has had very long and distinguished
 public career going back more than
 40 years, and was at once given a minor ministerial position when first
 elected to the chamber after holding
 several provincial prefectures and
 having been. prefect of police. L. His first full ministry came to him
 in 1890, and from that time he has
 held most of the principal offices ot
 state, including that of foreign affairs I He represented France in the Hague
 conferences. and published ten years ago his monograph, Pour la Societe

 A cekain learned doctor who re.
 gently taxed the girl clerk with starv-
 ing herself has now added that the
 secret of good digestion, with all the
 blessings of health that follow in its , train, is liesurely- eating. That, he
 thinks, is best secured by lunching iT
 company and indulging in conversa- : tion.
 This is where the feminine instinct
 scores it's biggest triumph over the
 masculine. Look round any popular
 restaurant, and one of the first things to catch the eye; is the difference ot sex in table habits. The men art
 mostly f1dgeting With newspapers ant

 groups of two or three, sit down tt ) their lunch, talk over it, and grow Ii strong.
 What do they find to talk about? |
 that our business? They are assured1,
 never at a loss for themes. of whici they make no secret. The three chic ' topics are blouses. books and bosses . Over the coffee the morning snubs re
 ceived from Mr Blank, or the forward , behavious of Miss Smart, neIloy int. 3 hazy backgrounds for the brishte l sketches of favorite heroines O
 fashionable hats.
 Not seldom will the .compuisor, q listener catch murmurs of ciaSsica l. import, or open condolences on som University Extension course. Any o these themes serves it's gastronomi
 purpose equally we'll while the youtl
 who appropfiates the only menu car on his table to work out the probler S on the back is fast nearing the diges 3 tive collapse of an American mil

 Is it not time men took the hint? f Will the children born on the 2et i, of next month have only one birthda . in every four years? No child woul U like that.
 The great lawyer Blackstone, in hi
 Commentaries, says that nal child attains his majority "on the da 3 preceding the 2fst anniversary of hi birthday" would make tn : February 29 child strfpling of owe 80 before he "came of age"
 I Some years ago the father of a so
 born on February 29 refused to be dis
 outraged by Blackstone and unearth :, ed a statute of Henry III. made a B Westminster in 1236. in which it wa | said:
