BY THE MARaUIsE DE FONTENOY.


No names are more widely known in
the annals of international sport
than those of the Dukes of Beaufort
and of their Worcestershire country
seat, Badminton, which has been in
their possession and in their constant
occupation for more than four centu-
ries. During the greater part of that
time they have maintained there, re-
gardless of expense, and on princely
scale, the celebrated Badminton Hunt
of which they are the hereditary mas
ters, and with which the Prince OF
Wales has been following the hounds
to the length of leasing country
house in the district for the Sake of
the hunting. They are descended
from John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancas-
dukedom of Beaufort, however. only
dating from the time of Charles III
and the restoration.

No Self-Starter.

Henry F'ord's presidential boom is
no "self-starter." 1t will have to be
cranked. The Michigan democrats. in
state convention assembled. have not
applied the spark. They have praised
Mr.. Ford as an influence for good
upon the Industrial, economic and
political affairs of the nation and all
mankind" and particularly for hav-
ing been an important factor in "giv-
ing to Michigan and the nation not
only one but two progressive United
States senators, and in awakening
to the menace OF money-controlled
elections" That said. the Michigan
democrats, in convention assembled,
stopped. 1t is now up to Henry.
A question arises whether this is
the most fortunate way to mention"
man of such great wealth as Ford.
1t will take the shreWdest of political
maneuvering to start a boom for him
that will not be tainted" with the dol
lar mark. He was not beyond the
range of criticism on the score of
Iiberality of expenditure in the 1918
campaign. Campaign money has a
hard time proving an alibi when the
candidate is as rich as Henry Ford.
This action by the Michigan demo-
Gratis is evidently a discreet side
stepping. 1t is much too early to talk
about party standard bearers for 1924.
Booms have bad way of getting
frost-bitten during the winter of the
odd year preceding the nominations.
1t would be rather sad for the WoIver-
inc democrats to find themselves COM
mitted to a "fiivver" when the time
comes to talk real business for the
next campaign.

Undoubtedly. The air lanes will

What about the passenger strains!
Will they go out Of business?
mot at all They will supplement
the air service and the air service Will
dovetail with them. For long trips
where speed Is to be considered. the
airplane. or the airship, will be the
thing; for shorter trips, the rail way.

He was silent for a time. looking

Well" he said, for one thing, the
world will have no more secrets of

could fly to the north pole, II we
wished.
Yes, within twenty years there
will be airships that can cruise from
the northern cities OF the United
states to the north pole, carrying
many passengers. The ships can de-
posit their passengers at the pole
for a time, II they want to get out. or
they can hover over the pole and
make the return trip without stop

to watch the business of lawmaking
al rather close range. Sometimes we
are not altogether convinced that the
process of lawmaking is thoroughly
scientific. distinguished member
of Congress, Representative Robert
Luce of Massachusetts,, has, however.
set out to analyze "The Science Of
Legislation" in four volumes, in
lative branch of government histori-
cally, descriptively and critically. The
first volume of the series, Legislative
Procedure" has recently been pub
lished. 1t treats, in more than 500
pages, OF parliamentary practices and
the course OF business in the framing
of statutes. The other three volumes
in the series are announced to be:
Legislative Assemblies" to treat Of
their framework. makeup, character,
cha aracteristics. habits and manners; ;
Legislative Principles" to be devoted
to the history and theory of law
making by representative government,
and Legislative Problems" which
will discuss the merits and defects
of the lawmaking branch of govern
ment. with a consideration Of tend
encies and remedies. The first vol
ume Is scholarly work, and the
