DELIGHTS OF LIFE IN LONDON
Fog Frequently So Thick That the
Strongest Artificial Light
Cannot Pierce 1t.

The worst fog in 20 years was ex-.
perienced In London when 100000
tons Of SCOT were suspended In the at
mosphere in which 100000 people at
tempted to live, work, and worst of
all, TO get about, a short time ago.
The possibility of reaching ones
destination was ascertained only by
the laws of probability and chance.
Fire engines called by duty went
through the pitch-black streets pre-
coded by a man on foot with a Ian
tern. Buses adopted the lesson of the
wagon trains that crossed the Western
plains during the gold rush and trav-
eled In conveys of nine or ten, also led
by a man on foot with light. The
busy traffic centers were marked by
from four to ten huge acetylene
torches which pierced the surround
ing darkness for not more than fifteen
feet. Accidents were innumerable.
Prince Henry attempted to motor from
London to Whittlebury for hunting
engagement, and after narrowly es-
Gaping two collisions then decided to
spend the night at halfway house.
A freakish incident occurred when
two women, lost within two squares of
home, were directed by a blind veteran
whose misfortune made him imper-
vious to fogs In district he knew by
heart.

WAUWAToSA NIGHT AT FORUM

A general discussion of Wauwatosa
will take place at the Community
Forum next Sunday night. There will
be no leader, but the entire evening
will be given over to the members.
All our city's faults as well as it's
virtues will be in the spot light. Is
Wauwatosa too complacent and self
satisfied? Perhaps some people will
say so. Why do some new Corners
favor annexation while most old tim
ers oppose it? What are the plans
for increasing school facilities When
are the outlying streets going to be
paved? Why can't we have better
lighting? How can we keep Wau-
watosa society affairs just business
suit and not dress suit parties that
everyone can enjoy?
What is your question about Wau-
watosa--or your criticism--or your
commentator Every citizen of Wau-
watosa is invited to come and par
ticipate in this and every meeting.
The Forum meets Sunday evenings
at 7:45 at the American Legion Hall,
There are always music and discus
sion. The Forum aims to make men
and women better informed, better adj
vised, better fortified and better
equipped for the duties of life.
The program for the balance of the
year will be ready Sunday. Come and
get one and come with thought about
Wauwatosa which will help your
neighbor as well as yourself.

Old Adaae Still Good.

Genius may indeed and often does
disregard such rules as govern or.
binary men, but thus does genius differ
from talent, which proceeds orderly
and in methodical fashion. "Nulla dies
sine versa" WAS the motto of Luther,
who with his exact method produced
400 volumes during his life. In short
the old adage is still .sopd: - time
for everything, and eve thing in It's

cation of Pact.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The fire
greatest naval powers of the world
decreed today as between themselves

signatory powers, as follows:
THE signatory powers recognize the
practical impossibility of using sub

tion of the use of submarines as com
merce destroyers shall be universally
accepted as a part of the law of ma

tion as henceforth binding as between
themselves and they invite all other
nations to adhere thereto.
Action of the committee is final so
far as the conference and the five
naval powers are concerned, the con-
ference merely will give formal rat
ification to the anti-submarine pact

it will be incorporated comes up in
