The distinctive features of the vessels will be their machinery, which consists in each case of twin sets of Beardmore-Tosi internal combustion engines of 4,750 horse-power, marking the first installations of super-charged marine motors made in this country. The Fourth of June at Eton. Yesterday the “Glorious Fourth” was celebrated at Eton College with the customary ceremony. The festivities began early in the morning. A large percentage of visitors travelled by car, and all the main roads from London to Windsor were crowded with vehicles from an early hour. After Chapel the usual Fourth of June programme looked forward to eagerly year by year began. Shortly after eleven came speeches in Upper Hall, and after luncheon visitors made their way over to Upper Club Plot to watch the cricket. When tea was over came the big event of the day, the procession of boats, and although many of the visitors had left the College in order to get back to town in time for dinner, many witnessed the pretty sight. A display of fireworks ended the day. Fewer Paupers. The quarterly statement relative to the number of persons in receipt of Poor Law relief in England and Wales shows a considerable reduction during the first quarter of this year. There is usually a substantial reduction in the March quarter as compared with the December quarter, and there was a small increase in the general total in comparison with the corresponding quarter last year, but cases of domiciliary relief totalled only 1,015,000 compared with 1,017,000 at the end of March 1926. An iris in a delicate shade of fawn was the most interesting specimen at the Iris Society’s show held in London last week. Fawn is a color to which irises are tending these days. One was awarded a medal and the Runciman Cup. Growers are endeavoring to produce a pure pink iris, but the nearest approach at the show was a pinky-mauve. A Church Desecrated. St. Luke’s Church, at Roadwater, near Minehead, has been broken into by intruders who tore down an organ pipe, smashed

St. Luke’s Church, at Roadwater, near Minehead, has been broken into by intruders who tore down an organ pipe, smashed the music rack, bent a brass cross on the altar, stuffed the vestry window with cassocks and scattered and trampled surplices and other vestments. They stripped all the cupboards, splashed ink on the walls, drank all the Communion wine, and flung the bottles among the Communion plate, which was strewn all about the church. The offenders, for whom the Somerset county police are searching, even lit a fire in the porch with the church notices. A Royal Motor Badge. The King has accepted a novel motor badge designed by the Marchioness of Titchfield in connection with her special appeal for £100,000 in aid of the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, of which His Majesty is patron. In a message of acceptance the King congratulated Lady Titchfield on the success she has achieved in response to her appeal, more than £35,000 having been raised since last July. The King’s Birthday. The Horse Guards Parade was a brilliant scene yesterday in the sunshine during the pageant marking the King’s birthday. The Trooping of the Colour brought out thousands of eager watchers who surrounded completely the 2,000 special troops on parade. The massed bands of the Guards regiments and King George

The Trooping of the Colour brought out thousands of eager watchers who surrounded completely the 2,000 special troops on parade. The massed bands of the Guards regiments and King George with male members of his family, mounted and in dazzling uniforms, figured in a scene full of color and movement that never fails to please. Her Majesty and Princess Mary and various members of the Royal family watched the ceremonies. The King was cheered to the echo by the crowd. FARMERS MAKE A RAILROAD PAY New American Idea in Transportation is “Run Your Own”—And to Be in Style, Effect a Merger. (Paris Times Correspondence) New York, May 24. Talk of the organization by the Van Sweringens of the Chesapeake Corporation to hold the stock whereby those Cleveland brothers already control a couple of railroads....

Or talk of any of the other big railroad mergers projected (and you will have to note the millions of dollars involved in two and three and four figures).... But you are overlooking one of the most remarkable achievements in current rail operation unless you also talk about the death and resurrection of the Kanona and Prattsburgh Railroad in Steuben County, this State. The Secretary of Commerce had some good words to say in Washington a few weeks ago about the achievements of the railroads in the five years since they emerged from Government control. For the first time they are supplying the country “with completely adequate transportation,” Herbert Hoover assured the Atlantic States Shippers Regional Advisory Board, “If anyone wants to argue the question of Government ownership of railroads in the United States, he has to get over this concrete demonstration of the capacity of private ownership to solve its problems,” said Mr. Hoover. No doubt he was referring to the New York Central and the Pennsylvania and the Michigan Central and the Southern Pacific and such. Whether Secretary Hoover realized it or not, his words applied as truly to the Kanona and Prattsburgh since the farmers of Steuben County took it over. You’ve never heard of the Kanona and Prattsburgh Railroad? Well, perhaps not. After all it is only eleven miles long. But it connects with the Erie Railroad at Kanona and it penetrates a rich rural territory. Farmers

Whether Secretary Hoover realized it or not, his words applied as truly to the Kanona and Prattsburgh since the farmers of Steuben County took it over. You’ve never heard of the Kanona and Prattsburgh Railroad? Well, perhaps not. After all it is only eleven miles long. But it connects with the Erie Railroad at Kanona and it penetrates a rich rural territory. Farmers use it to get fruit and produce into metropolitan markets. And for all its brief extent it touches six cities—Prattsburgh, Pulteney, Wheeler, Avoca, Urbana, and Kanona. Martin Phinney conceived the idea of the railroad in 1886 and two years later it was opened to traffic. It failed to pay expenses from the start. Its Prattsburgh father and financier withdrew and the mortgage was foreclosed by the hard-hearted Wall Street interests. However, it was operated until 1917. Finally Wall Street decided to junk the line. The little butter and egg men of Steuben County objected to this arbitrary severing of the feeder line between their industry and the mother market. So the farmers organized a company and sold stock and raised the mortgage and saved the old roadbed. Then they got busy with repairs and soon had the road and rolling stock in first-class condition. All expenses have been met from that moment. And even if the K. & P. cuts no melons, it hauls them. That's the main consideration in Steuben County. "Run-your-own" is quite the thing in transportation. Automobiles are rented on the "drive-yourself" plan. Commuters band together to ride into Manhattan in motor luxury. And the residents of

And the residents of Dobbs Ferry are running their own ferry. Ferry service between this New York City and the opposite shore of the Hudson started before the Revolutionary War. George Washington is supposed locally to have spent quite a lot of his time crossing on the ferry. All worthy men since then have done the same. Last Fall the sixty-five-year-old riverman stopped his motor launch and in no uncertain terms announced his retirement to the Sabine farm. A new boat had been used since. A few days ago citizens organized the Stevens Landing Association for mutual protection and a ferry service. Once more there is a real ferry at Dobbs Ferry. The farmers of Steuben County elected a lawyer president of their railroad. Thus they pay two jobs with one salary. Under the control of James H. Flaberty the company has prospered more than ever. Nowadays the magic word in the railroad world is "merger." The farmer-owners of the K. & P. hope that the interests controlling the Erie Railroad and extending it to connect with the New York Central at Canandaigua. An eleven-mile railroad is not particularly short. Consider the Emmitsburg Railroad in Maryland—independent and a little under seven miles. Or take

An eleven-mile railroad is not particularly short. Consider the Emmitsburg Railroad in Maryland—independent and a little under seven miles. Or take the Beaver Valley Railroad —four miles long. Or the Chaffee railway in West Virginia with one locomotive, one box-car, one gondola, and three and a quarter miles of track. Or the three-mile Bauxite and Northern Railway Company. Or the L’Anguille River Railroad in Arkansas—one locomotive and two miles of track. Or the Beaumont Saratoga Transportation Company—one mile of track. So the K. & P. doesn’t stack up so badly. And it can point with pride to its rolling stock—one locomotive, one gasoline-operated combination baggage and passenger car, two standard passenger cars, and several freight and coal cars. Here is a proposition O. P. and M. T. Van Saverinen will probably look into if the Interstate Commerce Commission lets them build up their fifty or sixty million-dollar merger. The eleven-mile Kanona and Prattsburgh would just round out the Nickel Plate system. THE PARIS TIMES.—No. 1,090. THIS RAILROAD IS SOME FARM RELIEF Here is the lone locomotive of the Kanona and Prattsburgh Railroad—eleven miles long and never merged yet. The farmers of Steuben County (New York) took it over after years of deficits had pushed it to the junk heap. They needed a railroad to get their products to the city markets.

In Paris and the Provinces; Parisians Depart for Holidays French and Other Visitors Throng Boulevards Despite Prediction of Uncertain Weather. With an uncertain weather outlook and with occasional showers predicted the Pentecost holidays actually started in Paris yesterday afternoon. By three o'clock, the city had already taken on a "festival" atmosphere. Although the boulevards today were thronged with people it was apparent that the crowds were by no means all Parisians. Of all the year’s holidays, Pentecost is one when the people of Paris hie themselves to the country and the seashore and forget business for a taste of leisure. English, with the cross-Channel accent, was the language of the day, today on café terrasses and in restaurants. Whitsun in England means a holiday in Paris to thousands of British people. As always, Parisians abandoned their city to the invader. Special services were inaugurated by all the railroads and trains to the country and the seaside were packed. Business houses in Paris will be closed tomorrow, the banks and the Bourse observing the holiday. Many small shops

Paris Lawyers in Duel. MM. Fraud and Cousin, both lawyers and justices of the peace, quarreled in the library of the Palais de Justice in Paris. Only a duel would satisfy them. So the other evening they repaired to the garden of a friend, with several seconds and a pair of rapiers. After six bouts, Mr. Fraud had received two slight wounds in the arm. They were sufficient to incapacitate him and physicians halted the duel. A reconciliation, however, has yet to be effected. Clemency for Drug Vendors. By introducing evidence of mitigating circumstances yesterday before a court of appeal in Paris, Mr. Maurice Lagree, a former actor at the Comédie-Française, and his wife succeeded in obtaining a reduction of the sentences they received in March for trafficking in narcotics. When first tried Mr. Lagree was sentenced to three months in prison and a fine of 1,000fr. Mrs. Lagree was sentenced to pay a fine of 500fr. Four other persons involved in the case received varying sentences. As a result of the hearing yesterday, Mr. Lagree’s sentence was reduced to fifteen days in prison

The fine was upheld. Mrs. Lagree was acquitted. Clemency was shown to other defendants. Les Colonies Sud-Américaines en Europe La prochaine séance de la Société des Américanistes de Paris aura lieu mardi à 10 h. 30, au siège social, 61, rue de Buffon. M. Clavelin fera une conférence sur la déformation crânienne en Amérique et en Polynésie, et Mme Mount Duckett parlera du Canada. Ces deux conférences seront illustrées de projections. — Suivant des renseignements puisés à bonne source, il est presque certain que M. Georges Picot, ministre de France à Buenos-Ayres, sera nommé ambassadeur sur place. — M. Guillermo-Edwards Matté, ancien ministre des Finances du Chili, de passage à Paris, a visité, avec le marquis de Peralta, ministre de Costa-Rica, la nouvelle « Maison des nations américaines » du comité France-Amérique. Tous deux ont été ensuite reçus à dîner par le directeur général du comité. POUR LA RENAISSANCE D’UN ART AMERICAIN «« Hier a eu lieu l’inauguration, à l’association Paris-Amérique latine, une exposition de dessins, plans et aquarelles d’architecture américaine, organisée par M. Francisco Mujica y Diez de Bonilla. Celui-ci, qui depuis dix ans s’est consacré à l’étude des monuments de l’Amérique pré-colombienne, est
