Grasmere, Sept. Q. 1920.

So far I've had a fine time. l left
Liverpool on Monday at 200 p. m.
and arrived at Bowness on Winder-
mere that evening. 1t was too much
OF a resort to suit ME, so ! came on
UP here to Wordsworth's home the
next morning I've greatly enjoyed
this place. He lived in Grasmere, in
Dove Cottage and at Allan Bank.
from 1902 to 1913. Then he moved
to Rydal Mount, about one and one
half miles away, and lived there un-
til his death. His body is buried in
Grasmere churchyard with many of
his kindred.
went this morning and turned
my steps up the tumuitous brook Of
Greenhead Ghyll and visited what
remains of the old sheep-fold that
Michael partially built Read the
poem, Michael" I had a great
morning
The country-all Of it I've seen
is pretty The fields are wonderfully
green--like the greenness of a we'll
watered, newly-planted lawn. Here
in the hill country all the buildings
are of stone, even the barns. l have
not yet seen frame building, though
I've been told there are a few put
up as temporary houses. In the flat
country around Liverpool and Ches-
ter, the ordinary building material
is red brick. The houses, with the
lawns, the flowers especially red
roses), the trees, and the ivy make a
sight to be remembered.
The most interesting thing to me
in England so far is the people They
are amazingly quiet and steady. A
street damned with them means very
little noise except the sound of foot
falls. Cars run quietly. The women
dress sensibly. Low-heeled oxfords
are more common than anything
else. l have not seen a really high
heel. And how they can walk, They
walk as children and never give it
up. Here in the Lake country the
great majority of them-both men
and women-carry walking sticks
think the stick is a nuisance but it
may give them their peculiar effect

in Edinburgh University. I don't

Also there were a Labor Party

was to be a big football match at
Newcastle I passed up Hexham. I've

good, but I've seen as good football
before. Twice men got knocked out
by the ball by trying to play it with
their hands when they were too close
to the man who had kicked it. There
was large crowd. The place would
accommodate $1,000 and it was at
least two-thirds full. Nearly all the
crowd were men. which seemed
strange.

Census Involves Much Work

The 100000 cards needed to rec
ord the population of the United
States In the new census made a
stack more than ten miles high. With
out machinery II would be almost i'm
possible TO manage census nowadays.
II took seven years to complete and
publish the census of 1890, and nine
years to complete the census of 1880.
By means of electrical mechanism
which punches something like 100000
cards day, the cards are now sorted
and tabulated In weeks instead of
years. The device also saves expense
and eliminates error.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS
OF DIR. BRUCE McCULLY
TO HIS FAMILY
On ship Board. The Mobile.
September 3, 1920.

SEPTEMBER :, ISEu.
We have run along the Irish coast
oil day, but it will be late tomorrow
afternoon before we get ashore.
Ireland, as l see it, is very beauti-
ful: "a bonnie land" as Alexander
Ca fellow passenger says, But il
does not seem nearly as green as the
nuch-talked-of Emerald Isle" led
me to expect Ii is not so green, for
instance, as the Puget Sound couE-
try.
Most, if not all, of our passengers
are old country people going home.
There are two or three Germans, one
Hindoo, few Scotch host of Irish,
some WEIGH, and the remainder Eng
lish. My chief companions have
been an Irishman, named Murphy;
an Englishman, named Fem, and a
Scotchman, named Alexander. Most
of my time | have spent with Fem
and Alexander The latter is less
sociable than Fem, but he knows
the West, especially the Southwest,
having served for some years as
construction engineer on the Santa
Fe and other roads. He was in Cali
fornia in 1916, when he went into
the war and was sent to Mesopo-
tamia. He is much less communi-
cative than Fenn-more Of the eX-
elusive, reserved type we read about.
1t took me several days to break
down his she'll but we are quite
chummy now. Fem has been for
a year doing graduate work in den
tistry in the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He is really the pick of the
ship He was all through the Gal
lipoli campaign--went in as pri-
vate, but rose to be captain before
he finished in Egypt. Getting ac
quainted with him has been of i'm
mense value as an introduction to
England.

voked an outcry in all sections of the

which would make the police still

Joseph Byrne disapproyed.
Among the few supporters OF the

the dismissal Is due to disa ppointme mt
