PATCHING UP KINGS SPEECH
Serious Omission Recently Gave Brit
ish Parliamentary Authorities a
"Bad Fifteen Minutes"
Baptist Courier.

William Cohbett. who used to COM
plain of the bad grammar and the in
different English Of the kings
speeches to parliament, surely never
contemplated the omission which
marked the kings speech at the open
ing of the recent session. The speech
itself was remarkably short-l39
words all told-and it came to a sud-
den stop without the usual invocation
of Gods blessing or the labors of par
lament. When the king had departed,
the officials were Mortified at the
omission; ana hastily sent up q verbal
addition to the press. Some of the
newspapers used it and some did not.
Nor was this all, for when the lord
chancellor in the house Of lords and
the speaker in the house Of commons
read out the speech at the afternoon
sitting, the invocation was there, but
the words were different from those
supplied earlier in the day. The Sc
cret history of all these changes
would make interesting matter for a
modern Pepys.

Classifying Export Goals.
During the year the bureau, in CO.
operation with three Of the largest
seaboard coal exchanges, developed
scientific systems of classifying ex-
port Goals into pools by systematic
sampling and analysis to %supersede
the arbitrary classifications used in
war time. Further progress was made
in the investigation for preparing and
utilizing Ignite, which constitutes the
greater part of the nations fuel re-
sources.
The bureau completed work on prep
aratiol and analysis Of special alloy
steels for the navy. A comprehensive
report on recent developments in cleo.
trio brass melting was finished.
Methods for preparing caustlc mag
nesia were investigated, which deter
mined that high-grade magnesia can
be made from some varieties Of mag
nestle hitherto believed to be insult
able for this purpose. The bureau in
v~estigated dolomite as a substitute
for the more costly m%agnesite In pre-
paring refractories, and demonstrated
that there can be obtained from Ohio
dolomite q product superior in mag
nesia content to imported Canadian
magnesite.
More experimental work on mining
explosives, with reference to increased
safety and efficiency, was performed.
Plans weie initiated for or interna-
tional conference on the Standardized
ton of mine rescue apparatus. Meth
DDS for reducing losses Of anthracite
in mining operations were studied.
Timbering methods for metal mines
were irstigated.
In the course of the year the bureau
trained 1c.,!525 miners in rescue and
frslein methods, the largest num-
Der so trained in any fiscal year since
the beginning of the training work.
