INTERESTING LETTER
FROM DIR. BENSLEl
CONTINUED from first page)

!
One thing that has especially
struck me is the total absence Of
drunkenness despite the absence of
prohibition. | have now been in
London about month, l have
walked through many of the slum
areas of the city and suburbs, and
! can truthfully say that | have not
seen even one drunken man or
woman AS an American Bishop re-
marked to me the other day, "These
people are sane with regard to
drink" Yesterday was what we
would call a legal holiday pur-
posely went out at somewhat late
hour on the main street of this vi
cinity, it was thronged with crowds
YEARLY but happily making their
way homeward from days outing
at the seashore and other resorts,
yet | saw no evidence of drunkenness
whatsoever. ! fear we could not say
this of a holiday making crowd in
America, even though we are blest
with prohibition.
I have had very happy and in
teresting time of it here, and my
health and strength has profited
much by the change Last week |
paid a visit to the Houses of Parli-
ment at the invitation of Mr.. A.
Barnes, the M. P. for the division
in which | am staying, and who
kindly acted as my guide in an
interesting tour over the buildings.
Tomorrow | go to attend a sitting
of the House of Commons. Last week
| also visited Westminster Abbey,
where | saw the Unknown Warriors
grave, and attended at Evensong,
which was beautifully sung by the
Abbey's Incompatible choir of boys
and men, unaccompanied by the
organ as the organist is away for
his vacation.
| have not yet been to the Bri-
fish Empire Exhibition at Wembley
but expect to visit that interesting
place next week, so shall have much
to teal you on my return home. |
am due to sail from Southampton
on Friday, August 21st, by the
Cunard liner "Andania," the same
ship | travelled on to England, and
| expect to land in New York
and arrive in dear, but not dirty,
old Lambertville on or about Sep
TENDER LIST. And | shall not be sorry
to get back, for the old song rings
true. "There's no place like home"
Till our next happy meeting then,
fare thee we'll With kindest regards
and good wishes to you and all
my friends in our beautiful little
city on the banks of the Delaware,
believe me ever to remain
Sincerely yours,
Thomas J. Benslcy

examples of its coinage have been IN
earthed in Bergen county. New Jersey,
within Il few miles Of New York, Fran

days The white settlers manufactured
Indian money, but in the New Jersey
mint they introduced methods Of high
finance with surprising effects upon the
native currency.

cepted by the Indians throughout the
country who refused to Use the cOun-

mint claimed that the first John Jacob

way of identifying his offspring He
explained 10 the friend who was ad

situation of such material for that
which crumbles and disappears under

advance steps in the fight against rust
are the direct and indirect method of
