THOMAS DROPS HIS "H'S"F
British Labor Leader AdaptS Speech T'
 Audience. Woman Observes

British Labor Leader Adapts Speech To
 Audience, Woman Observes
 One. day we hear that Premier Ram say Macdonald is embarrassed by ac- ceptance of motor car from wealthy friend who, somehow or other, has since been knighted.
 Now comes story that Colonial Sec retary J. H. Thomas of the same cab met has a habit of adapting his speeches to his audiences, or, rather, his method of speech, not so much the contents. There used to be charges that Canadian politicians had one pol | icy; for east and one for west, or one for Ontaria and one for Quebec, but close watching by the newspaper correspondents made such policy dan gerous; the deadly parallel was too easily constructed and too deadly for such men.
 The nws from London is that Mir. Thomas, whose speeches made a great hit with the Canadians and Americans attending the recent advertising con- vention in London, deliberately drops his h's in order to play his role as labor leader. It is Mrs. Sidney Webb, wife of the president of the board of trade, who makes the charge. "He plays to perfection" she says, "the part of the plain British workman who has be- come by sheer gifts a leadink states man in the British commonwealth of free nations. His last artistic touch, I may observe in passing, like the red on an actress's lips, is the deliberate and persistent dropping of his h's, which adds a style to his shrewd and witty speeches. The dropping of h's is tidbit of 'Jimmy's' artistic cleverness.
 Some parliamentary correspondents question the accuracy of Mrs. Webbs assertion. One of them says: Those who have listened to him day after day in the house of commons know that he has carefully schooled himself to get rid of any such habit. This shrewd and witty effect was not obtained by a minister who not so long ago startled the house by proposing to set up a had dock committee. It. took the members some time to think of ad hoe."Fs
 But while Mir. Thomas may be care full in the disposition of his h's in the house of commons, Mrs. Webb's sug- gestion is that he suits his dictiOn to his audience.
 Perhaps the little artistic touch" will be forgiven in a man who, his daughter recently wrote, is devoted to boiled him and lima beans, who in- creased his children's allowances as his own income increased, who loves to hear their stories of everyday affairs, and still likes of an evening to shove the furniture into corners and either dance with the family and a few friends. or play the piano, or the cym- bal, triangle and drums all at once.- Toronto Globe.
