 London, Jal.. 2-They call them good old London particulars"
 They are not good; they may be old-they are certainly most particu- lar something or other.
 -"London particular" is superiarive for fog.
 Wise men in laboratories. sur rounded by delicate instruments measure this superlative fog. They tell you how many microscopic 5its of grime you breathe in every cubic inch or lair" during the time of the city's eclipse. They tell you why it's here. what started it. when IL viii depart. And they are always wrong in every particular. Hence. perhaps its name.
 After a heat wave through the Fall when the thermometer registered 75 degrees into late October, the Eng fish climate cMnched it's reputation for general cussedness by dropping below freezing over night and stay epurts in the way of trial fogs, a pe- riod during which the doctors were overworked and many actually took to their beds with colds themselves, ant finally the London particular"
 Picture to yourself freezing wealth CT, sheen of frost underfoot. Step into your backyard, if you have one. and imagine what it would be like if at high noon you could not see the board fences on either side of your harrow lot. All the street lights are on. but at 20 feet they do not exist. Walk, rather feel your way, along the sidewalk. The opposite curb is far beyond your range of vision Sud denly, a dozen or IS feet away, where a moment before there was absolute ly nothing, another ventluresome soul emerges. If you carry a stick you tap it constantly. not so much as a guide, blind-man fashion, but as a warning to the other fellow against collision.
 Ther are no landmarks. It is pos s.ble to move 50 yards and become hope1essly lost.
 But the trains run. Busses creep along. in ffoatillas of six or eight, with the conductor standing on the front step peering ahead as though two pairs of eyes had a better chance of penetrating the impenetrable than one. Trams-street cars-glide along, ghostly glimmers, though all lights are on. Tax:s even slip up on you.
 All the experts agree that 1t will last a ''particular" for more than 24 mours, and as a fog for the rest of the week .Whereupon you read in your evening paper the gloomy tidings, turn and look out of the car window and find the chimney-pots of London visible for miles.
 It's all over-until the next one.

Washington, Jan. 2.-How Dr. edof Lorenz, one of the foremost drgeons in the world, found a Thigh r surgery in becoming a butcher or the American Red Cross in Vien-
 came to light in letter received
 National Red Cross headquarters lere from the famous surgeon. Dr. ,orenz did not gain the sObriquet of
 butcher" by carving huban beings,
 Ut by turning his surgical skill upon aeon supplies sent to Vienna by the lmerican Red Cross to relieve the lunger-stricken children of that city.
 According to Dr. Lorenz's own yer ion Of his unique experience as a butcher,' no delicate operation in lis past brilliant career afforded him 2alf the satisfaction he derived when le began to cut from the sides of American bacon rich, juicy slices of iren.
 The eminent surgeons letter, writ 1en during the turbulent days that ripped Vienna following the war, ividiy portrayed the pitiable plight the starv ing children and the butcher
 Terrifying as is the daily toll of wrote pr. Lorenz, "the fate of unfor- .unate youths of both sexes is even 1ore so. These drag themselves along, crying out for help that mo- body can give them. and this just be- cause they are starving.
 ''The mere sight of these heaped up miseries has at times overwhe1rn- ed me. and would run off in despair, 0nly to return very soon to the work of at least 1essening the physical agonies of the sufferers
 "Under circumstances like this" continued the letter. 'T began to hate ny work. But happily an event oc- cured which brought about a, change and again learned to love the work because 1t then seemed less hopeless It wasn't by inventing a new method of operation on the emaciated bodies of the wretched little patients that took fresh spirit, but by having to perform operations with a knife big ger than any I had ever used before.
 'Such a change in my work was brought about by the arrival in Vien- ma of a carload of American Red Cross bacon and condensed milk. A sixth part of this treasure I was call ed upon to dispose of in my dispen- sary. and I can assure everybody that butchery on American Red Cross sides of bacon is Q wonderful art when the butcher sees the outstretched hands Of the poor children. many of whom had never tasted fat in their lives and when he observes the light kindled anew in their tarnished eyes,"

The second sentence of the reso-
lutions reads: "That the city author
tiles be requested to cooperate with
the ministers in this matter by re-
fusing graves for Sunday funerals. ex-
cept in cases. of necessity; and that
the undertakers and caretakers Of
cemeteries cooperate by refusing to
work on Sunday in connection with
funerals, except in cases of neces-
