London Dec. 4-Workng in turns one in the morning and the other in the afternoon the Honorable Margaret and Honorable All son Hore- Ruthven, twin daughters or Loro Ruthven, are acting as society mannequihs Ill a West End store.
 The twins are well-known in society and are so much alike that even their own friends hardly know them when apart. AS they dress exactly alike, even down to the minutest de- tail, the "Ruthven twins" have good deal of fun.
 The store authorities do not know which one works in the morning and which in the alter noon. They make no complaint about It, however as the young women are quite effl- cert and possess ideal figures for showing off modern gowns.

CHIMNEY SWEEPS COMPLAIN.

London chimney sweeps whose griny faces and wailing cries give Dickens touch to the British capital. complain that the prolonged coal strike almost ruined their profession.
 With little coal to burn. the million chim- neys that twist their necks above Londons low sky line have not been clogged with soot, In vain C. chimney sweeps tramp their routes and shout their prowess.
 But the worst is in store for us" an idle sweep volunteered Our busiest time Is in the spring and early summer. when the soot of the previous winter has to be cleaned away. This winter there isn't any soot and next summer we shall have nothing to do"

PROFIT BY ONE-WAY TRAFFIC.

One-Way traffic is boon to London taxicab drivers, whose fares already are the highest In Western Europe.
 The one-way circle around Trafalgar Square is quarter of mile, which means an extra three pence on the meter. Piccadily Circus, being smaller, means little more money to the taxi driver than before the introduction of the one-way system, but larger intersections of streets, such as Parliament Square, Hyde Park Corner and the great plaza in front Of Buck ingham- palace make taxi riding more costly.
 London taxi meters start at shilling, and after the first mile increase three pence for each quarter mile.

FRANKLINS VISIT ID FRANCE NOTABLE
Occurred Just 150 Years Ago
 This Very Day

Paris. Dec. 4 U9 - Benjamin Franklin came to France 15o years ago today to find a popular interest that would do credit to the modern reception of q foreign ruler on strange shores.
 French archives just inspected give an insight into the human ele- ment of his mission to seek aid for the new American republic. Tho ancient and thriving oyster and fishing town of Auray had the accidental honor of receiving Frank lin. The good ship Reprisal, having 1 TO propeller to cope with contrary winds, was unable to make the mouth Of the Loire river, and was ! obliged to put into the bay of Qul- bcron, with its illustrious passenger it's cargo of indigo that was to pay the expenses of the mission and with two English ships taken as prizes en route.
 Was Culinary Diplomat
 Franklin was bound for Nantes. Reaching land on a fishing boat, the only conveyance he could find at Auray was a broken down horse and a shaky cahriolet, which he pur- chased to take him to Nannes.
 Culinary diplomacy is not mod crn practice, for Franklin inaugur- ated his visit at Nantes with a ban quet at which he came into contact with the potables of business and politics. Those fortunate enough 10 be invited wrote about tho banquet 10 friends In Paris. boasting that they had talked with the American philosopher and lauding his intellec- tual qualities.
 Hat Point Of IntcrrSt
 News of Franklin's landing had arrived in Paris about 10 days be- fore he appeared in the capital. Paris had been informed that he wore a curious foxskin cap, and tho curiosity of the public was aroused especially by his being heralded as the man who had "tamea lightning"
 Franklin arrived without the fox skin cap and to that extent disap- pointed the people. But he wore -hrimmed felt hat, the first to be seen in France.
 One Of the first things tho French people did was to claim him as of French origin. Pcrigueuy, near Hor- dcaux. where Irancolins were par ticularly numerous. contrived a gen. oalogy which they decided made Benjamin Franklin one Of them.

that one or two of the lessons men
toned above be made clear to the

Reading material can be utilized

clair, etc. If the story is too long to
be read in one sitting 1t is advisable
to form reading groups to read the
book thru. We must discuss and
point out the lessons to be drawn as
we go along. Take, for example. the
"Apostats," by Jack London. The
boy miner there renounces the faith
of toll and decides never to work
again. Certainly this is not the So
luton for the emancipation Of the
working class and this story should
be utilized to explain just this point.
Many similar examples can be found
where we may have to use negative
examples to teach our lessons.
Newspaper Corner.
There should be a special news
paper corner at camp, where the chill
dren can come and read the daily
newspapers. Here, too, we should
have the party press, strike bulletins
and The DAILY WORKER, and scien-
tifc and educational magazines (geo-

important items or we might mark
special articles to draw the attention

mot be afraid to use the capitalist

for this. We can make marginal notes
or comments for the bulletin board

the influence of the capitalist press
