ELDERLY BRITISH
PORTER Is RETIRED
Last Survivor Of Fellowship Guild
Ends 100 Years of
Service.

J. w. Buckthorpe, head porter at
Lincolns Inn and last surviving men,
Der of the ancient city corporation
known as the Guild of Fellowship
Porters," is retiring He has spent so
years in the service Of the Benchers
of Lincoln's Inn. The guild has passed
away and only Mr.. Buckthorpe re-
mains to wear the silver badge which
for centuries has been the hallmark
OF p0rters of the inn. Mr. Buckthorpe
has never had any occupation outside
the inn. He Is aged 70. For more
than $50 years the male members of
his family have known no other serv-
Ice. All were members of the Guild
of Fellowship Porters. His initiation
according to ancient rites into the
porters' fellowship is one of Mr.. Buck
thorpe's brightest memories. New
members went through a quaint cere-
monial to gain the silver badge of
the corporation. Every member went
to the Ship public house near Lincoln'S
Inn, where the novice had to extract
it with his teeth without splitting a
drop Of the ale. Often it was not until
the novice had drained many tankards
Of ale that the trick Of catching the
badge was impaired to him by one of
the old members. The pewter pot aid
the badge he gained half century
ago are among Mr.. Buckthorpe's most
treasured possessions.

DISCRETION REQUIRED
IN HOLLYWOOD TALK
Tact Necessary Since Stage Stars
Are Mingling With Leaders
Of FiImdom.

HOLLYWOOD (R.-One needs lot
of tact in Hollywood, and more than
ever these days.
Broadway has sent so many new faces
to the films that it is sometimes din
cult for the movie people to recognize
all of them by sight, and the. Broad
wayitss similarly are often in danger
Of treading on the toes Of Hollywoodians
whose names they remember vaguely
but associate no faces herewith
There are literally hundreds of stage
and screen celebrities and near-celeb-
rites here now, and it is more than
the average newcomer can do to keep
them properly catalogued In mind.
There Is, for example, the story of
the Broadway star seated next to a
movie light who had undertaken In
talkie the same role that the Broad
wayite had made famous on the stage.
Really" the New Yorker assured her
movie sister, YOU were very good, and
am sure that if you'd had even
fair director 1t would have been splen-
did success She went on to itemize
the shortcomings of that particular di-
rector, Who as it happened, was seated
beside the miserable movie star, his
ears burning.
Another time, after a premiere, some
one strolled over to crowd Of "yeSsing'
studio satellites grouped around 3 BEAM
ing little man who seemed to be the
center OF attention. One of the group
asked the newcomer his opinion Of the
picture. II think it's as busy q tall,ie
as was ever made" he answered hon.
estly.
There was suddenly q deathly hush.
The bean1ing little man no longer
bsamed. He was the director.

BRIT TANY PRAYS
TO BREAK DROUGHT
Summer Is Exceptionally Hot and
Dry This Year in Many Parts
of France.

Drought, the price we have to nav
for fine Summer; drought,the dust
breeder, the thristmaker, that dries up
the land and withers foliage and
greenery, while the smaller towns be-
come il-smelling, dirty dens"--such is
the htany that arises from many parts
of France, where the Summer was en-
ceptionally hot and dry this year. But
For great evils, great remedies says
the proverb. That Is why In Brittany
the bishops ordered public prayers and
professions TO placate the sky. This
same thing Is done every Summer In
the Basque country, where, when be-
sought, the rain pours so profusely that
prayers and professions have to be done
all over again in order to avert floods.
In Provence, at all times a very dry
country, they have their own special
saint who sees to the watering-St.
Gems. He does not pay much heed to
ordinary prayers, but he is fond Of
good sport. He cannot resist a certain
feat. On the day of his anniversary
the boys of Monteux, lovely village
in VaucMse, go TO the hermitage where
st. Gems statue Is kept, several miles
away, and bring 1t back to Monteux on
their shoulders, running all the way
without pause. Then the rain falls.
Every year the boys who will bring the
statue to Monteux are carefully chosen
and they consider that mission the
greatest honor in the world.

NEW BRITISH MONEY
STICKS TO FINGERS
New Currency Also Tears and
Soils Mere Easily Than Old
Currency Notes.

LONDON Op9.-Britain's latest styles
in currency have not met with unan-
imous approval in the 10 months they
have been circulating.
Many cashiers who have to handle
the new 1-pound and 10-shilling Bank
OF England notes all day complain the
money sticks to their fingers. That IL,
the color has habit Of coming OF,
making 1t necessary to scour the fingers
with pumice stone after counting q
few thousand notes.
In addition, they report, the new cur
rency tears and soils more easily than
the old treasury notes.
Visiting Americans also have a grudge
against the revised currency. The pound
notes look too much like American
with equal rapidity on a shopping tour.
