have to walk about, we walk and dream. We dream even when we eat, always building castles in the air and telling ourselves about the wonderful things we are going to do some day. In the meantime, our work goes along in slipshod fashion. Somehow we cannot find time enough to get things done. Sometimes we cannot find enough time even to play—it is much nicer to sit comfortably somewhere and dream and talk dreams to our friends. All these things are the signs of the times and are reflected everywhere; in offices, in shops, in the avenues and out along the highways and byways, signs that we are attempting to become acclimatized, shaking off one condition to take on another. But I’m glad old winter’s shut up shop And packed his duds and gone; I hope he never once will stop To turn— his glance I scorn; It makes me creep with chilly pains Even to think— when winter reigns, I’m glad that spring has made her bow The bushes and the trees Are bursting forth at every bough; This sets my mind at ease And gives me courage to renew A hold on life that was askew. I’m glad the birds are busy things A-building at their nests; I so enjoy their carolings— Contentedly I rest. From peep of dawn till evening I fain would hear my comrades sing, The rivers, too, are bursting free In blossom everywhere; They lift their heads most graciously And bid me linger there Amidst the glorious perfume sweet, To worship at fair spring-time’s feet. James G. Connark. The Cri de Paris tells this story: The scene is laid in Sofia soon after the bomb outrage in the Cathedral, when the city was under martial law. An Italian correspondent of an anti-Fascist paper in Rome went out into the streets after curfew. A policeman challenged him, shouting “Stoi!” (Halt!). Up went the man’s hands and he shouted back: “Italianski! Italianski!” As the policeman did not understand, the anti-Fascist used the supreme argument: “Mussolini!” he shouted and the policeman let him pass. PROFESSIONAL DENTIST

Aron, chairman of “the publicity committee of the advisory committee of the New York County Republican committee.” “Mr. Enright has turned the police department into a moving picture show,” charges Mr. Aron, inspired by the frequent appearance of “the finest” in cinéma news reels. The Police Commission has increased the force from 10,896 to 14,150 uniformed men and “still he has been unable to check gunmen, hold-ups, burglaries and robberies of all kinds, apart from his failure to control murderers.” In detail, Mr. Aron charges that Mr. Enright plans to send five hundred men on a military training picnic of several weeks at Tannersville, followed by another picnic at Sheepshead Bay “without seeing a nightstick until the police games in September;” that 125 men have been withdrawn from practically all duty to sing in the Police Glee Club, 125 more to play in the Police Band, and two hundred more to run foot races and jump hurdles in the Police Athletic Association; that he recently sent ninety men to Philadelphia to sing at a funeral, and is continuously sending delegations of “his glee singers, his musicians, his athletes and his trained marchers and stunt horseback riders on trips of which the public never hears.” Mr. Enright’s moving picture ideas, says Mr. Aron, “are of no help to merchants in the Wholesale districts, required to fortify their places of business with barred windows and steel doors against organized bands of looters.” He charges that burglary insurance rates have increased more than 50 per cent since Mr. Enright became Police Commissioner.

The District Attorney of Bronx County issues a statement answering Mr. Aron’s list of twenty-six murders committed in the Bronx in 1924 and declared that his figures are inaccurate. In ten cases, says the District Attorney, murderers were sent to prison; two committed suicide; in three cases verdicts of justifiable homicides were returned; one was acquitted; two were discharged by the Grand Jury, and one was sent to an insane asylum. In addition, two are awaiting trial; one is under indictment but not yet arrested; two suspects are under surveillance. Furthermore, says the District Attorney, three murders listed by Mr. Aron were committed outside the Bronx, and three others were at the hand of the same crazed man. In memory of the leading surgeon for many years of the Presbyterian Hospital a gift of $203,000 has been turned over to the hospital, half to be used for “the Dr. Andrew J. McCosh Operating Amphitheatre.” The grandstand on the Common at Roosevelt (New Jersey) caught fire early in the morning. A milkman saw the flames. He extinguished them with four quarts of milk.

FROM THE CAPITAL The brass bed which graced the booth in which William McKinley lived as representative from Ohio brought $160 at an auction last week. The wooden desk upon which some of the famous McKinley Bills had been worked out brought $37.50. There are 10,000 fewer cars parked in Washington streets today than two weeks ago. A drastic traffic law is in effect, patterned largely after the recommendations of Secretary Hoover’s recent national traffic conference. Parking is prohibited from 8 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. As Government office hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., thousands of clerks who own small cars no longer drive them to work. Many are selling them. The diplomatic colony is being depleted for the summer. Baronne de Cartier de Marchienne sailed on May 9 and in June the Belgian Ambassador will join his wife in Europe until late fall. The British Ambassador and Lady Isabella Howard start next month to pass the summer in England. The Polish Minister and Mme. Wroblewska have booked passage for Europe—as have also the Minister of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, Dr. Pavlovich.

From tiny tads with chubby bare knees to sub-'debs' hesitating between girlhood and sophistication, six hundred children frolicked over the White House when Mrs. Coolidge "received" the Children of the American Revolution the other day. Mrs. Coolidge has an interesting jewel, which she always dons on impressive occasions. It is in the form of the double eagle, worked out in rubies, diamonds and sapphires—the national tricolor in precious stones.

THE TALK OF LONDON New Attempts to Shake King’s Hand Bring Protests from Crowd at Wembley. King George and Queen Mary, like other members of the Royal family, evidently intend to do as they did last year and to prove their interest in the Wembley Exhibition by frequent informal visits to it. But their appearances there have begun to raise an unexpected problem. No doubt a solution for it will be found in the sound common sense of the British public, but for the moment it is giving concern to those in charge of the Exhibition.

Bascom Slemp, Attorney-at-Law is the newest shingle hung out in Washington. The one-time secretary to the President has "set up" formally.

But their appearances there have begun to raise an unexpected problem. No doubt a solution for it will be found in the sound common sense of the British public, but for the moment it is giving concern to those in charge of the Exhibition. Imitators seem to want to follow in the footsteps of the American who gained sudden—perhaps expected—fame last week by insisting on shaking the King’s hand as his Majesty passed by at Wembley. On the King’s latest visit with a party of friends, another man pushed through the crowd and said "Shake hands, Your Majesty." Neither police nor spectators interfered with him and although the King seemed a trifle embarrassed, he eventually complied. When another man attempted to do so as the first had done, there were protests from the people around. "Leave the King alone!" someone shouted, and there were other cries of "Stop him, sergeant!" The King’s bodyguard of police took no action but the would-be handshaker was forced to retire in confusion with his purpose unaccomplished. The Royal party then proceeded without further interruption, followed by the usual large crowd, but one which confined its demonstrations to the customary cheers and waving of hands and handkerchiefs. New reviews of the life work of the late Sir Rider Haggard have brought out the fact that he was like most popular authors in that his greatest success was by no means attained with his first book. He had written several novels that attracted little notice before the day when he read "Treasure Island" and concluded that he might produce a work to hit the taste of the adventure-loving boy.

New reviews of the life work of the late Sir Rider Haggard have brought out the fact that he was like most popular authors in that his greatest success was by no means attained with his first book. He had written several novels that attracted little notice before the day when he read "Treasure Island" and concluded that he might produce a work to hit the taste of the adventure-loving boy. The result was "King Solomon's Mines," a success eventually beyond his fondest hopes. Yet his own publishers and two other firms rejected it and publication was secured from the Cassell firm in 1865. It was rewarded for its daring. Of the novel in its original form it sold 100,000 copies, an immense number for these days, and subsequent cheaper editions have enjoyed enormous popularity. TOPIC OF THE DAY England and Decorative Art The inauguration of the British sections of the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition tomorrow and on Wednesday by Prince Arthur of Connaught, who arrived last night, will provide another opportunity for somebody to "discover" English art. English art is an eternal topic of the day in view of the fact that since the 11th Century at the latest, not to go back as far as Tacitus, people from the Continent and other parts of the World have been "discovering" that the English have a very considerable contribution to make to many fields of decorative art—architecture, painting, furniture designing and cabinet-making, engraving, bookbinding—and yet the discovery never ends the fun, since the tradition goes on serenely that the English are an "unartistic people," and a few years later somebody else can "discover" them all

Collectors and antique dealers, however, seldom lose sight of the value of English work, or of the meaning in pounds sterling of such names as Joshua Reynolds, Chippendale, Adam or Wyckcliffe. The exhibits in the present British section will prove that the English designers and craftsmen have retained their skill in the creation of fine furniture and the treatment of woods. For two hundred years English furniture has been prized not only in England, and today taste has turned a favorable eye on the massive and handsome Tudor pieces. But it was in the lighter style which succeeded them, the delicate and elegant cabinets, bureaux, card-tables, chairs and harpsichords of the Restoration and the 18th Century, that England was supreme. Chippendale is entitled to the name of "father" of this furniture, and no other signature has such a money value as his on an authentic example of it, although enormous prices are also paid for the grandiose gilt furniture associated with the architect and decorator, William Kent, who is also of the period. Sheraton and Adam carried the style further, and the fortunate habit which these men had of publishing their designs enabled British

Sheraton and Adam carried the style further, and the fortunate habit which these men had of publishing their designs enabled British makers to produce practically authentic things after their death, and this was commonly done until well into the present century. The fine walnut furniture of the Restoration turned the attention of the English makers from the heavy oak of their predecessors to the more elegant woods, and they became masters of inlaid work, veneering, japanning and marquetry. Chippendale designs were admirably executed in mahogany sixty or seventy years ago. In architecture such men as Inigo Jones, Adam and Sir Christopher Wren are internationally known, and the houses of Colonial America were strongly marked by the taste of the last two. In painting it is only necessary to mention the names of the 18th Century masters: Gainsborough, Reynolds, Romney, Raeburn and the slightly later Turner. The school of engravers who grew up around these men and reproduced their work in line, stipple and color carried their art to a memorable perfection, and the velvety mezzotints of the period are one of the glories of the collector. The revival of the art of etching in England, headed by men like Seymour Haden, produced much fine work that found its way to other countries. English sporting prints are unique. To England goes at
