of a deer, and resembling a minnow when it is drawn through the water. The Rev. Kenneth S. Guthrie, rector of All Saints’ Free Church, Yonkers, criticizes his brother, the Rev. William N. Guthrie, rector of St. Mark's on the Bouwerie, New York City, for insisting in holding bare-legged dances before the altar of his church in defiance of Bishop Manning. The brother of the offending clergyman says: “Although I favor religious négation and object-lesson plays, I do not approve of dancing in the house of God. There is nothing in bare legs, bare knees, and bare hips except notoriety. I think my brother ought not to defy the Bishop.” The two nests of Dinosaur eggs, millions of years old, from the Gobi desert, have arrived at the Metropolitan museum safely. There are ten eggs in each nest. Seventy skeletons and fossils of the dinosaur, were contained in the same shipment. Dickens, Thackeray, Scott, George Eliot and other Victorian classics are “old fogies” which should be made to move along off their shelves for Fannie Ferber, Booth Tarkington, Fannie Hurst, and other “moderns,” says Dr. Clifford Smith, editor of the International Book Review. He has written an article setting forth his position and calls it “The Tyranny of the Classics.” He says the things the Victorians described no longer exist, and that while the authors were very well in their way at the time they were living, they should not now be permitted to torture the schoolchildren by requirements of study when far more interesting modern works exist, of which the classrooms can take advantage, and which the children will enjoy.

The first move to modify the Bonus law was made when Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, proposed an amendment substituting cash payments for insurance on the same per diem basis now contained in the Bill. He estimated that the Government would save $1,000,000,000 if the change was approved. A admission by Mr. Curtis D. Wilbur. Secretary of the Navy, that the United States ranks second among naval powers, with a ratio for Great Britain, the United States and Japan, respectively, of 5-4-3, instead of a ratio of 5-3-3, as contemplated by the Treaty On the Limitation of Armaments, is contained in a letter forwarded by him to the House Naval Affairs Committee in reply to a resolution, offered by Representative Britten, directing the Secretary to furnish data relative to the strength of the navy. In stating that the present fighting strength in ships of Great Britain, America and Japan would appear to be 5-4-3, Secretary Wilbur said that this ratio does not take into consideration strategically located and well-equipped naval bases, “which add greatly to the

In the first place, they had a chance to cheer one of England’s most popular and picturesque peers, Lord Lonsdale, when he galloped to the starting post to stop the first race. Lord Lonsdale was clad in a frock coat and he wielded an umbrella as an improvised whip. It was a scene to be remembered. Lord Lonsdale and his fellow stewards had come to the decision that the straight five furlong course was unfit for racing because of the condition of the public path across it at Tattenham Corner. The horses were already approaching the starting post when they made their decision, and Lord Lonsdale’s picturesque ride ensued. There was compensation in the day’s racing for Steve Donoghue, England’s premier jockey, who had been forced to ride a poor last in the great Derby the day before. Donoghue raced home

Donoghue raced home to victory in the feature event of the day, the Coronation Cup, mounted on Lord Coventry’s Verdict. Parth was second with Frank O’Neill astride, and Poisoned Arrow was third, ridden by Childs. The latest Royal marriage rumor is that of the Countess of Seafield, one of Britain’s wealthiest peers, whom drawing-room gossip and cocktail chatter have been engaging to one of Rumania’s princes. The Countess is passing her first “season” in London, with all the excitement of a coming out dance and a first Court. When at home, she is at Castle Grant, Moray. The Countess is a conspicuous beauty at social gatherings by reason of her golden-red hair. Lord Lamington, who has always been an opponent of the Cross-Channel tunnel idea, is suggesting the formation of a new political party to oppose it. The Prince of Wales will spend a night under canvas at Wembley on August 2 when he attends the Imperial jamboree, in which twelve thousand scouts from every part of the Empire will take part. After watching the display in the Stadium, the Prince will return with Sir Robert Baden-Powell to the camp in Wembley paddocks and dine with scouts from all over the Empire. A

A great campfire sing-song has been arranged for after dinner, and the next morning the Prince will attend a thanksgiving service, at which, it is hoped, one hundred thousand people will be present. The invasion of the House of Commons yesterday morning by 900 children from the Rhondda Valley, who were piloted by Colonel Watts Morgan and other MPs, led to an appeal to the Speaker later in the day. It was the climax of weeks of parliamentary sight-seeing. The children not only walked through the two Houses, but were introduced to the library when Sir Henry Craik, the member for the Scottish Universities, was endeavoring to do some research work. So he was driven to ask questions about it when the House met. “Is Parliament to be turned into a section of the Wembley Exhibition?” he asked, and he declared that if MPs were to be disturbed in the library it was time the Lord Great Chamberlain restricted the number of visitors. Continuing the programme of visits arranged in connection with King Edward’s Hospital Fund for London, parties are visiting some of the fine old Inns off Holborn. At Gray’s Inn, the visitors have been received by Mr. H. F.

At Gray’s Inn, the visitors have been received by Mr. H. F. Manisty, KC, who conducted them over the beautiful old buildings, including the Tudor hall and the chapel, so rich in associations with the great legal figures of British history. An object of special admiration is the Pension Chamber, with its 18th-century panelling and its magnificently-moulded ceiling. Barnard’s Inn, or, as it was for long called, Mackworth’s Inn, after the fifteenth-century Dean of Lincoln, who lived there, was the next place in the itinerary. Now that it has been occupied for thirty years or more by the Mercers’ School it is very much more presentable than when Dickens wrote so scathingly of it. Close by is Staple Inn, still a worthy claimant to the title of “Fairest in Chancery,” with its wonderful half-timbered frontage facing Gray’s Inn Road, and its cool and delightful quadrangles within. Twelve thousand performers are to take part in the great Pageant of Empire, which is to be staged at the Wembley Exhibition from July 21 to 30. The episodes will include scenes at the court of Henry VII, and George III, the discovery of Newfoundland, and incidents in the story of our Dominions. Queen Elizabeth and the days of “Merrie England” will, of course, be portrayed.

THE TOPIC OF THE DAY Japanese Immigration The arrangement under which Japanese immigration into the United States was conducted during the sixteen years preceding the Congressional Bill, signed by President Coolidge on May 26, is known as the Gentlemen's Agreement, concluded between Ambassador Ishii and Secretary Lansing in 1908. Japan then assumed responsibility for curtailing the number of workers going to the United States in such a manner as to obviate the objections of California and other Pacific Coast States to a growing Japanese monopoly of agricultural interests. According to Japanese official figures, the total number of émigrés to the United States, including students and business men, during the years 1908-1923, did not exceed 8,681. These figures do not agree with the numbers of Japanese actually arriving during that period, taking into account the clandestine immigrants. There was a lull for a few years while Japan and the United States were associated in the war. A Treaty of Commerce between the United States and Japan, concluded in 1894, reserved in clear and comprehensive terms the right of the American Government to regulate the immigration of workers. Even then, complaints about the Japanese immigrants were rife, and it was with a

These figures do not agree with the numbers of Japanese actually arriving during that period, taking into account the clandestine immigrants. There was a lull for a few years while Japan and the United States were associated in the war. A Treaty of Commerce between the United States and Japan, concluded in 1894, reserved in clear and comprehensive terms the right of the American Government to regulate the immigration of workers. Even then, complaints about the Japanese immigrants were rife, and it was with a view to mitigating the opposition of the Western States that the Ishii-Lansing agreement was negotiated. The Treaty of 1894 was amended by the Treaty of 1911, which did not contain the original immigration clause, but embodied the terms of the Gentlemen’s Agreement as follows: “The Japanese Government is fully disposed to maintain, with unflagging efficiency, the limitation and control that it has exercised for three years over the emigration of workers to the United States.” Section 13C of the present Bill regulating immigration in 1924 provides for the exclusion of aliens who are disqualified from acquiring the full rights of citizenship. This clause is directed against Japanese immigrants, as they have been placed in this category by special legislation intended to restrict the extension of Japanese fruit farms and other enterprises. It does not affect students, professors, ministers of religion, commercial travellers or tourists. It comes into effect on July 1.

In Paris and the Provinces; Social Duty of Surgeon Shown Court Finds Doctor Guilty of Neglect, Contrary to the Opinion of Medical Professors. Throwing out the expert opinion of three Consulting medical professors, a Paris Court has found a hospital surgeon guilty of criminal neglect for leaving gauze in the wound of a patient after an operation and causing a second operation to be undergone. The three experts claimed in their testimony that there was no professional fault, according to the standards and codes of the medical profession. But the Court orders the doctor to pay 50,000fr. damages, with the ruling that it would be a menace to society if doctors have no responsibility beyond the bare exercise of their medical knowledge, and that no code among the members of this profession could override this responsibility. The case is an interesting test case between professional customs and civil and social codes of public safeguarding. It is expected that the doctor will appeal. Gas-Masks for All. “Every city should build gas-proof dug-outs to house its women and children during the gas attacks that are sure to come in the next war,” said Surgeon-Commander F. G. Hitchens of the British Anti-Gas School in an address before the British Royal Institute for Public Hygiene, which is meeting in Bordeaux. “It may be objected that there is no possibility for such inhumanity as this,” he continued, “but unfortunately we have no such assurance.

In the wars of the future, it must be remembered that the fighting forces will enjoy a high degree of immunity from battle gases. This being the case, it is unlikely that an enemy will waste his Chemicals on the protected troops when he could employ them to much better advantage against unprotected non-combatants. Up, and Down, and Up Again of a Clown Under the “big tents,” listening to the crowds roar yesterday, in the police court today explaining why, and tomorrow perhaps riding around in a high-powered car, is the story of Jean Carrier, aged forty-four, a former ex-circus clown. Absolutely down and out at Vanves, near Paris, looking and living very much like a tramp, he sat down by the roadside and took a foot-bath in a mud puddle. Along came a policeman, who arrested him. “I am neither a tramp, nor a beggar,” the man declared. “I am a circus clown. Let me show you what I can do.” And from two little boxes that he had with him, he took out putty, charcoal, paints, and a wig, and proceeded to make up. In a short time, he was no longer a vagrant, but a droll and exceptionally funny clown, whose powers were broad enough to send

In a short time, he was no longer a vagrant, but a droll and exceptionally funny clown, whose powers were broad enough to send the police commissioner into a laughing spell. Further investigation showed that his father has recently died at Saint-Maur-les-Fossés, leaving a considerable estate to him and his brothers. But, unfortunately, he cannot touch a sou until September. “Down today, up tomorrow,” was his final remark as he was released. Lightest Man on Record At Troyes (Aube), a conscript, Emile Bataille, of the class of 1925, seems to have broken the record for the lightest weight. He stands 4ft. 5 in and weighs only 59 1/2 lb. The Wheat Franc. Former Senator Comte de Trévenenc, being a Breton landowner, has greater confidence in wheat farming than in the foreign exchanges, so when he signed a lease for a bar in the rue Vivienne, Paris, he added a rider that the tenant should pay rent at the par value of wheat, reckoning a quintal at 100fr. The tenant discovered that while he would have to pay more rent if wheat went up, he would have no corresponding rebate if wheat went down, and on this ground applied to the courts for relief from a one-sided and onerous bargain. His plea for not rejecting the bargain is that he had full confidence in the
