half an hour and remained four hours
The tower" covers about ten acres,
with a historical story in every stone
Most interesting was the collection
of crown Jewels which may be prec-
ious stone stones and metal, but could
be, l suspect, gilt and glass. Some
colonel or other got away with the
royal crown about 1870. Stabbed an
old guard and fed, but was pursued
and captured. Charles LIST, the merry
monarch" gave the colonel life
pension of 500 pounds year instead
of beheading him. Said anyone with
nerve and ingenuity enough to steal
the royal crown deserved something
handsome. Charles was man of
honor and many parts.
AS this is not a travellers guide [
won't describe the tower. Any stan
dard encyclopedia will tell you all
about it. No one who comes to Lon
don misses it.
And the last thing today was a visit
to St. Pauls Cathedral, the finest
work of Sir Christopher Wrenn, who
took 35 years to build it and died
soon after it's completion at the age
Of 81
Visits st. Paul's.
I stepped into old ST. Paul's just as
evening commenced, and dutifully
took seat and attended the service.
Wonderful organ and magnificent male
choir of bass and tenor voices. Much
of the service was given rapidly and,
to me, unintelligbly, but the music
was beautiful. Then the party climb
ed the staircase to the famous whis-
pering gallery, 120 feet in diameter in
the rotunda Of the dome and heard
the old verger whisper a little story
of ST Paul's His whisper travelled
all the way around and back to him
and all those seated at the wall
around the dome could hear him
plainly-even kind of echo. Then
we climbed some more flights to the
top of the dome and had splendid
view of London at dusk. Nearby was
the church of ST. Mary LIE Bow, better
known as 'Bow-Bells.". If you are
born in the sound of the Bow-Bells,
you are a LondOner indeed. There is

no skyline to LOndon-it is lost in a

to be forgotten sight.
Where Dickens Had Lunch.
l and a couple of American friends
had lunch at eye Cheshire Cheese"
restaurant where Dr. Samuel Johnson
and other great spirits dined and
wined We sat where Charles Dick
ems used to lunch Had some pigeon
pot pie, for which the Inn is famous,
roast chicken and broiled founder
Washed down with drOughts of musty
English ale. (The truth is that Eng
lish ale, or better" as they call it,
tastes like three days old stale beer,
left in the open. Not to be compared
with good old lager And they serve
it warm. Don't know what ice is
here.) But why spoil the picture. If
DR.. Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, Thack-
cry, Dickens and other mental titans
liked the ale we must drink likewise
and smack our lips with huge relish
It's all in dining at aye Cheshire
Cheese" That and a pound note.
And, coming down hill to Ludgate
street where my friends were to take
tour through the Limehouse and
Whitechapel districts, we saw some
thing fine. The sun had come out
after the rain and was shining through
the dusk on the spire of st. PauPs.
Over 300 feet that tower goes The
glimpse made me think of that story
of Sir Christopher Wrenn and how
he attained his knowledge of values
and an appreciation of the beauty and
dignity of labor by working with his
hands fashioning wood and placing
brick and stone. And in the end
came the vision to erect a monument
to the glory of God against the sky
line of London.

That was the substance of one of
our flashes some weeks ago, but the
last part of the finger pointing heav-
onward" was purely imaginary. 1t
seemed to me then that it must be so
because it would be fine climax and
a beautiful dream come true. And
here tonight on Fleet street l found it
was true So like Browning we can say
surely:
Goods on high and all is right in
the world"
or so it seemed to me-

slope inward of the lake bottom
which gave Ephriam such a shallow
beach and ideal swimming and wad
ing place for youngsters has resulted
since the level of the lake has gone
down, in leaving Ephriam with an
expansive dry sand beach on which
ball games and other dry land sports
may be INDUCED in. There yet re-
mains farther out, of course, a spac-
ious shallow beach in which children
may disport themselves in the water

walking farther, places to dive and

In the picture, the pool of water
in the central foreground was left by

line of last year is clearly visible in
the white rocks that run from the
lower right corner of the picture,
skirting the left side of the pool, and
on around past the end of the small
boat pier. The water line of former

Scores Of requests for army rifles
are being received at the adjutant
generals office here from banks for
protection against bank robbers, Adj
jutant General G.. A. Fraser said to-
day, but none Of the requests have
been granted.
army rifles shooting hjgh-vcl
ocity, steel jackctcd bullets are too
dangerous to townspcoplc for use in
such emergencies and are inefficient
anyway" Fraser explained. 1.-THE
ideal weapon in dealing with bank
robbers, especially when the robbery
occurs at night. is a shotgun and
close behind is the ordinary sporting
rifle which shoots a lead bullet.
Drill Clca" Through
at is possible to drill a man clean
through with Il steel jackctrd bullet
from an army rifle and never drop
him. When you hit Il man with n
shotgun charge or a lead bullet he is
going to drop. Then, too. there is
less chance of missing a robbcr if Il
shotgun is used.
"A bullet from an army rifle will
pass through the walls of two or
three ordinary houses before it is
finally spent and the danger Of hit
ting someone is too great to justify
their use in towns and villages. They
will pass through an ordinary brick
wall without difficulty. too, so there
is no protection against them
Bandits Well Armed
Since most bank bandits are equip
ped with rcvolvers there is little dan
ger. in Fraser's belief, in getting
within shotgun range since not one
man in 80, he says, is adept with one
hand firearms.
His observations are based on eX
pericncc with national guardsmcn.
MANY are naturally adept with a
rifle, he said, but pistol is some
thing different. At $50 feet the
ordinary pistol shooter couldn't hit
Il man one time out Of 10. At the
same distance he might hit man
every time with rifle and almost
never miss with shotgun. At that
distance shotgun, loaded with a
heavy powder charge and heavy buck
shot, is the most dangerous weapon"
Urges Organization
In a letter to W. G.. McFaddcn,
Fargo. secretary Of the North Dakota
Bankers Association, recently. Fraser
urged the organization Of volunteer
vigilance committees by North Da-
kota citizens for the protection Of
banks and stores against robbers.
He recommended that each member
Of such committees be assigned n
definite duty iii case of trouble, pro
vided with proper weapons and care

fully schooIcd rs to what to do in
case Of trouble.
"The successful repulse Of any at
tenn ut TO loot a bank or store in one
Of our small towns depends on n
carefully worked out plan," he said.
"Thereforc defense plan should be
adopted and put into writing and
each member given copy to study.
Careful consideration Of defensive
positions should be made.
Upstairs Windows
"Upstairs windows opposite the
bank or store are excellent points
from which to obtain fire upon the
front Of the bank or store. Positions
in the rear should also be selected
and designated. The selection of
these positions should be made with
Il view of safety to the citizens and
so that Il convcrging fire can be
directed on the front and rear of the
bank.
"Thc banks this year are full of
money and after this crop is harvest
ed and sold the banks will be in
grave danger from this class Of out
laws. We should all do our part
toward defeating such attemp ts.
