the Harlem Ship Canal is an artificial waterway constructed by man and not a geographical boundary and that Marble Hill is geographically, sentimentally and commercially in and of Manhattan. “Even when Fort Prince Charles, of Revolutionary fame, was in the hands of the British, the people of Marble Hill spoke the same language as the Manhattanites,” says Mr. A.

SIDELIGHTS IN THE CAPITAL There is a Congressman from New York who believes that if the word “war” were banished from the vocabulary sweet and reasonable peace would reign.

on the care of children. She completely won her way to the hearts of the Poplar mothers, since she dispensed with the use of a motor car in going from the headquarters of the college to the clinic, which is some distance away. She had to pass through a long lane of mothers holding their babies, and she stopped to speak to nearly every one. On arriving at the clinic she was greeted with loud cheers, and a chorus of wails from about fifty infants, who were undergoing treatment. The Queen herself gave much valuable advice to the mothers on

The Probate Court was unable to decide who died first in the Christmas Eve air crash of 1944. The case was that in which the Treasury claimed a grant of letters of administration in the estate of Mr. A. J. Sproston, one of the victims, who died intestate. Mrs. Sproston, his wife, was also killed, and her
intestate. Mrs. Sproston, his wife, was also killed, and her father contested the suit on the ground that she survived her husband. The Solicitor-General remarked that the period between the deaths had to be measured in seconds rather than minutes. Lord Merivale, in giving judgment, said that the case of Mrs. Sproston’s father must fall unless he established that the wife survived her husband. This had not been done, and it was impossible to say who died first or from what cause. The Treasury Solicitor was, therefore, entitled to the grant. Sir R. J. Thomas, Bart., the Liberal MP for

This was revealed in the case in which his wife is suing one of a body of Lloyds underwriters on a policy of insurance for loss by fire of a painting described as "Madonna and Child" by Raphaël. This was valued in the policy at £20,000, and was declared to have been burnt with other pictures during a fire at the Holbeach mansion of Sir R. J. and Lady Thomas. The defense contends that no picture by Raphaël was
Thomas. The defense contends that no picture by Raphaël was destroyed in the fire, and that certain facts were not put before the underwriters when the policy was taken out. In evidence it was stated that the picture was bought for £25 by Sir R. J. Thomas, who has collected pictures for more than twenty years. A Rembrandt and a Holbein had also been acquired by him at bargain prices. The hearing is being continued today.

when paintings by famous British artists, including Sir William Orpen and Sir John Lavery, will be shown, and the public asked to bid secretly for them. Alongside each picture will be a small box, and into this visitors will be entitled to put their money bids. At the end of the show the boxes will be opened and the pictures sold to the highest bidders. The price will not be made public, so that an artist may not feel aggrieved if his work receives only a small bid. This is in the nature of an answer to Sir Joseph Duveen’s

Sir James Barrie’s original Peter Pan has become a London publisher. He is Peter Davies, who, twenty-five years ago, when playing in Kensington Gardens inspired the famous author to make Peter the principal figure in his immortal play. When Peter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn Davies, died, Sir James adopted him and his three brothers. One was killed in the war, another was drowned while bathing at Oxford, and the third, Nicholas, recently became engaged to

A further development is reported in the escape of Prince Ahmed Seifed-Din from a Sussex mental home last August. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of William Pilbeam and Alexander John Bastoue on a charge of aiding in the escape. The former was the personal attendant of the prince, and with Bastoue drove him in a motor car to Hastings, where the party crossed to Boulogne on a day-trip steamer. They are now believed to be in attendance

The prince, who is a brother-in-law of the King of Egypt, was a patient at the mental home for more than twenty-five years. Eton, famous for its historic college, is one of the last places one would expect to associate with slums. Yet, there is considerable slum property there, and a generous offer has been made by one of the college assistant masters, Mr. E. A. Bell, to give one tenth of his salary towards a

Many people will be surprised to learn that cockle-fighting still exists in England. There are several cockpits in the Peak district of Derbyshire, and though illegal, the "sport" is carried on in isolated spots. At a recent meeting there were about fifty men present to watch a contest between ten birds. In the final round, two champion birds, spurred with razor-like blades, fought fiercely for more than an hour until one had both its eyes cut out.

Information from Berlin has put right the status of Frau Nelly Neppach, who yesterday won her match in the women’s singles over Miss Cambridge by 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. She holds the German women’s singles championship title, having beaten Frau Friedleben, who is generally considered as Germany’s best woman player, last year in the Hamburg tournament. Frau Neppach, however, is Austrian by birth, and does not come to the Riviera as an official representative of the German Lawn Tennis Association.

Until the Nice tournament opens the Riviera will be full of reports regarding the possibility of a Wills-Lenglen revenge match. At present, it seems as if all reports of this sort should be classed in the rumor column. The squarest information regarding the possibility of this match is as follows. (1) Miss Helen Wills expects to play in the singles. (2) Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen hopes to play in the singles, her health permitting. (3) Nice officials were very optimistic concerning Mlle. Lenglen when they learned that the public has
concerning Mlle. Lenglen when they learned that the public has exhibited no objection to paying some two million francs to see the encounter. (4) Nobody will know whether she will play until actual construction begins of the extra grand stands at the club. At the moment of writing these facts are facts. But in this bustling world of Riviera tennis, facts are often fancies. Actually, Miss Helen Wills, a twenty-year-old schoolgirl, who does not smoke or drink or stay out later than nine at night, has become a very great drawing card on the Riviera. On Tuesday, she filled La

But the stands were packed. In the first set Miss Wills played poorly, disappointing her followers. Then she seemed to pick up.

Looks Like a Wide-Open Affair Tilden Faces Lacoste and Borotra Is Matched with Richards in Indoor Davis Cup Play, BULLETIN (By Commercial Cable) NEW YORK, Thursday.—President Jones Mercereau has definitely refused the sanction of the United States Lawn Tennis Association for an international tennis tournament at Madison Square Garden which Miss Anne Morgan had arranged for the benefit of her work in the devastated regions of France. William T. Tilden, the American champion, declared that he will play in spite of the Tennis Association and depend upon public opinion to force the hand of that body. The French players, who

In the first matches of the American play, Tilden will face the American indoor champion, the French soldier player, René Lacoste, while Richards is drawn to meet Jean Borotra. Tomorrow the doubles match will be played, with the French choosing the team from Lacoste, Borotra and Brugnon, while the Americans may name from Tilden, Richards, Anderson and Hunter. The last two matches, singles, are slated for Saturday and will match the opponents of today in the inverse order, Frenchmen Favored. Because of their
today in the inverse order, Frenchmen Favored. Because of their victories of last week, the Frenchmen are favored to take at least three of the singles, which would win the tournament. They are likely to lose the doubles, since any pair from the American camp would be stronger than the Tilden-Frank Anderson pair which beat them decisively last week. Tilden, however, is a notoriously bad and hard loser, and he can be depended upon to come back at his opponents with all the fire of his undoubted ability. The uncanny ability and stamina which has carried him to six straight
ability and stamina which has carried him to six straight outdoor championships may bring him his revenge over the invaders today. It is also whispered that “Big Bill” has recovered from "the eye strain which was caused by his theatrical work and which undoubtedly hindered his stroke play in the previous matches. The French players have taken three days of complete rest in order to prevent staleness, but the Americans have had long practice sessions daily since their defeat of last week.
