| tanned his doctors degree there at "a.
Except for one break of three years,
when he went to the Imperial Univer-
sity of Toxic as professor of economics,
his career ran on and up at Harvard.
During these years he produced
standard works on the development OF
| American banking, and the late
Governor Strong admitted him to the
councils of the newly formed Federal
Reserve system, and was said never to
make bank-rate decision without first
consulting Sprague.
The appearance Of DR.. Sprague at
England's central bank daZzingly
illuminates the peculiar character, as
opposed to the purely academic and
technical attainments, of the man.
/ Just how he came to be invited over
is story tied up with the postwar
relations between Britain and America,
the personal relations between Strong,
of the Federal Reserve and Montague
Norman of the Bank of England, the
developments of banking consequent
world, and sundry other things.
The fact remains that he arrived
and took up his strategic position at q
small desk under tall window in the
far corner of lofty narrow room in
the Bank of England building, and the
headquarters of British banking, and,
indeed, the whole world of British
banking, was never quite the same
again, never will be the same again.
1t was as If cool, fresh wind had
come in and swept away the cobwebs
that had gathered in the corners of
insular minds and of their banking
inStitutiOn
DR.. Sprague himself would be the first
to protest that he never attempted to
exert any influence whatsoever: that
he, OF all men, was always mindful of
his extraordinarily delicate position as
foreigner in the heart of Britain's
central bank.
But that is just it. He influenced by
seeking not to influence.
He has the unique gift of stimulating
other minds and setting them thinking
along new and hitherto neglected or
unnoticed paths.
He would talk, in that deliberate and
dlspasSionate 1-don't-press-m my opinion

King Georges Giving of Wine
To His Servants Irks Bone Drvs

LONDON.-As the King can do no
wrong, bone-dry subjects of his British
majesty quietly will nurse their griev-
anceS against him for placing liberal
quantities of champagne and port at
the disposal of royal servants on the
celebration recently Of the twenty-third
anniversary of his accession to the
throne.
1t is an old custom for the health
of the King and Queen to be drunk
on that day by the royal servants, and
champagne and the port undoubtedly
are worth drinking because the cellar
at Buckingham Palace is rated as one
of the best in the country.
But some drys do not approve the
royal example, although it is generally
recognized elsewhere that the amount
of alcoholic liquors supplied to the serv-
ants throughout the year in the vari-
Gus royal establishments is insignificant
compared with what was made handy
for them during previous reigns, par
ticularly in the days of the Merry Mon
arch, Queen Elizabeth or Henry VIII
AS result of recent economies in the
royal establishments there has even been
a curtailment of staff stimulants fol-
lowing the courts.
Being a sailor, It Is considered ma
tural for the sovereign to prefer to have

which those who know him
well enjoy so much, the quiet, elderly
gentleman across the dinner table
paused occasionally in his eating to
bend an ear toward the great celebrity
and to turn in his direction curiously
large and short-sighted blue eyes, be-
hind very large and thick glasses.
1t might have been politeness or it
might have been real interest, but
whatever it was, it did not move this
modest and unassuming guest to arrest
the redoubtable old-young and omnip
otent philosopher in the full fight of
his dialectics 1t did not move him
even to interject a question or a re-
monstrance to the tidal flow of provo
cation until Shaw arrived at the
natural end of the first long paragraph
in this particular exercise in polemics.
Then the white haired gentleman,
who at 60 looked rather older than
Shaw looks at 73, interjected into the
pause, in mild and, as it were, an
almost apologetic tone, an observation
upon the protracted Shavian passage
The white-haired gentleman's inter-
lection did not register strongly on the
ladies (much more interested in per-
sonalities and captivated by polemicS
than impressed by the pure dry reason
y,
but it did catch at loose string in
the exceedingly alert and watchful
Shavian consciousness. This Shavian
mental machine may spark away for
the edification of the company, but
the reaction to it of another formidable
mental machine never passes un-
noticed by the self-conscious owner
and manipulation of the machine.
You are interested in this subject?"
suggested Shaw, blandly turning beard
and keen, combative Irish eye in the
direction of this fellow guest, who
was-let's see-something to do with
the law, perhaps, or medicine.
II have to be-" responded the quiet,
elderly short-sighted gentleman. Il
am economic adviser to the Bank Of
England"
Shaw looked at the guest, who had
| been introduced to him as DR.. Sprague,
name which meant nothing to a
man who lives SO absorbed in his own
small world as Shaw does, and his dis
Sertation on world economic problems
stopped short at that first protracted
paragraph. Before, he had thought he
was talking to an audience who knew
| far less than he did about the field
over which he was impishly yet au-
thoritatively dancing. But with that
white-haired, elderly gentleman with
| the transatlantic accent and the de-
fective vision sitting quietly there and
politely listening and saying nothing
well, it must have had a dampe1ing
effect even on an ebullient Shaw.
Amusing Sequel Left Out.
| There was an amusing sequel to this
| encounter of the philosopher with a
zest for life and the scientist with a
zest for facts and figures, but it be-
longs to private life and cannot be
intruded into this public glance at that
| enigmatic and retiring parsonage, DR..

Special review boards set up by the

other month in which to complete their
work of examining compensation cases
under the terms of an order issued yes

ting on March 20, until their cases

boards prior TO that date"

work of the review boards is now more
than SO per cent complete; that 103
boards are functioning and that 27,O15
cases have been disposed of, with, COM
