Royal Pageant

When one sits in the House
of Lords ones mind goes
back to rows of dark ances-
tors, glaring down from mas
sive gilt frames; to an old
duke rumbling vaguely in the
vast depths of an old leather
armchair, with one equity
foot supported on a stool,
and a great staghound
stretched out in front of the
open fire. The hundred peers
or so who attend any ordi-
nary session of the Lords are
not all old men. A few are
gigantic silver-haired old
boys on antiquated legs, who
totter in to sit with their top
hats tilted forward over their
eyes, dreaming that they are
asleep in the House Of Lords
and waking presently to find
that it is so.
A few others are young
sters with apple cheeks and
beautiful blue eyes, up from
EtOn or Harrow, or the
universities. In between
are the great lawyers of
the country, some of the
foremost politicians and an
assortment Of bankers and
industrialists. At the front
Of the lovely crimson cham
ber are the actual thrones
of Great Britain, full-sized,
canopied thrones for the
King and Queen, and a
smaller throne for the
Prince of Wales. When
the King attends a session
the whole chamber is
gorgeous with robes Of scar
let and ermine.

Radios in Demand

While the northern lights
flame and flicker, Captain
Johnny trades rifles and am
munition, sugar and flour,
bacon and calico, safety ra-
zOrs and rubber boots for
the skins of silver fox, sa-
BILE, mink, marten and polar
bear-lovely lustrous things.
And the days have passed
when Johnny Backland can
trade a 10-cent store string
of beads for the pelt of a
silver fox. Nowadays the
Eskimos are keen traders
and bargain hunters.
The coastline of Alaska,
John Backland says, is just
another Main Street where
no igloo is complete with
out it's radio sets, it's flash
lights, it's portable phono-
graphs and it's tailormade
cigarettes. The consumption
Of phonograph records and
portable machines is terrific.
Backland took with him a
thousand records and phono-
graphs, large and small, on
this years trip, and they
went like hot cakes.
There is a growing taste
for radio, and during the
Far North summer radio re-
ception is the best in the
world. Johnny Backland
sat in an Eskimo igloo in
the Arctic, with the little
brown people all around
him, feasting on seal blub-
Der and listening to a Ger
man band that was playing
in a Berlin beer hall.
The more tubes an Es-
kimo has in his set the bet
ter he likes it, and the
louder the squawk the more
joy in the domelike home
of frozen snow.
Up in Eskimo Land they
don't have to worry about
the gold standard and the
war debts. The depression
never got that far north,
and business is tip-top.

of the press gallery, to

flights of curving steps.
When the King is not
present, the lords are less
gorgeous, showing up in

And as one looks on and

Interesting news that the
British House of Lords plans
to regain some, at least, Of
the old power of which it was
divested by Lloyd George
and the Liberals back some
20 years ago. 1t is purely
ornamental now, with almost
no legislative power what
ever. But in many ways it
is one Of the most fascinating
assemblages in the world.
1t occupies the most beau
tiful chamber anywhere in
the world-all gold and GRIM
son and rich with tradition.
AS Clair Price, clever chap,
with an eye for the pictur-
esque and the beautiful,
wrote so wildly recently in
the New York. Times, 1t IS
"all old Gothic, old oak, old
leather and old peers, in a
richly harmonious setting of
the crimson of the long
benches, the dull gold Of the
walls, and the wonderful old
stained glass filtering sun
shine through the high win
dows. This gilded chamber
belongs to the old England,
stately old England, Of old
trees, old parks and old cas-
tles-a stately old England
which seems most tragically
to be breaking up and falling
to ruin, and yet without the
slightest benefit to the COM
mon man or to the poor. -

HOSPITAL WELFARE
WORK is DESCRIBED
Rev. Calvert E. Buck in Radio Talk
Tells of Free and Part-Pay
Work.

How the hospitals Of the city are rem
dering community service in an enor-
nous volume of free and part-pay work
for those unable to pay regular hos
pital charges was described last night in
a radio talk by Rev. Calvert e. Buck,
superintendent of the Episcopal Eye,
Ear and Throat Hospital.
The nine hospitals in the Community
Chest, he said, fill place in the COM
munity, the value of which either in
terms of money or service cannot be
calculated. Without them, he added,
living conditions in the Capital would
be unbelieveably hard for the needy.
Thousands of patients each year, he
said, are furnished tens of thousands
Of hospital days free Of charge.
When one considers that great ma
jority OF these are surgical cases, re-
quiring hospital board, room, nursing
and operating room service. the extent
of the service is staggering" he ex-
planned.
Every hospital conducts what is
termed a part pay department in
which facilities are furnished to needy
persons at less than cost, he said, eX-
planning that all the hospitals in the
Chest conduct an out-patient depart
ment or public dispensary.
1T is to the dispensary that sick
people in financial straits first come for
examination and treatment" he added
If they need disqualification they are
then taken care Of"
The talk was given on the Washing
ton Community Forum period over Sta
ton WRC.
