NEWS FROM HOME.
(Continuadrias Pago Št. 3
It is now hoped to build 200.0003. new homes in two years. The brick. yards that had fallen into decay from lack of labour, are now being furbish- ed up and set to work again. But between now and next Spring the lot of the home seeker will be hard.
CROWDED RESTAURANTS.
If possible, London's fashionable restaurants are плете crowded every day. To be really well served requires a real standing in the esteem of the establishment, and even then the management is some times hard put to it to secure a table for a valued patron. Champagne
is very short indeed and nothing worth drinking under that head is to be had for less than 30,- a bottle while the best known brands are away above that. But claret and port are a little more plentiful. There is apprehension as to higher duties on beer and spirits: already hoisted by successive Chancellors of the Exche quer since the war began.
One noticeable thing is the real demand by soldiers who have served in France for houses of refreshment more on the lines of the Continental cafe. They want somewhere where they can take their wives, away" from. the public bar and the swearing, spitting, smoking crowds. Several times of late I have been appealed to by Provincial-born soldiers back from France for direction to some place where the conditions would approximate to those of Paris. I have been hard put to it to meet the appeal, for London's pubs are on a much lower strata..
COMPETITION,
Business men are impatient at the delays in getting back to the even swing of enterprise and activity, They see American and Japanese commercial organizers making strides while their own plans are hampered by the retention of restrictions, the restriction on exports, and the dilly-dallying
of demobilization. American steel and tinplates, as well as lighter manufactured articles, are getting well into our markets, and in certain lighter lines the Japanese are also active. But provided the workers abandon the stupid policy of 'ca canny' and turn out the best that is in them, there will be a big change within six months, even if wages are higher and hours are shorter.
The outlook between capital and labour at this moment is better than at any time since the Armistice..
NOT BACK TO THE LAND,
One striking fact bas come out - within the last week or two-a large namber of demobilized soldiers who worked on farms before they joinert up are not going back to the fund. Some, no doubt, are planning to go to dominions overseas, where there are tempting schemes afoot for ex- soldier settlers, but a large number, it is to be feared, have caught the glamour of the towns and are loth to give up the greater sociability of camps, and places where people con- gregate, for the lonely furrows of the countryside. This is hard rews for the farmers, already hampered by the floods of the late winter. Seed time is backward and there is much to be done. The wage of the agricultural workers has trebled, but етед that âces not seem to meet the case. "The consequence is that there is an in- sistent call for more land girls. Many of those who have done war service on the farms have given such satis faction that farmers have asked them to remain, expressing eulogistic opinions of their care of young stock, and even of their manipulation of machinery. Of nine thousand land girls who were canvassed, six thou sand elected to continue their land work, against three thousand who confessed that they had had enough of it.
Some have merely shifted to gar dening. . As...I came dowIL by motor, bus to my office I saw a sprightly girl in smart breeches busily brightening the garden of a large house on the borders of Regents Park. The one thing almost all of them are dead against is domestic work. Wherefore one sergeant major in West London has pro- claimed his freedom from conven- tional dependence on women and he himself keeps a large boarding house going, right through to cooking the four course dinner.
PRIZES FOR LITERATURE
two
The late Mrs. Jane Coats or Black, a member of the Faisley thread family, has left a large number of public legacies, including one of £10,000 for the purpose of founding prizes for (first) the best biography or literary work of that nature each year; and (second) the novel or book of that nature each year, judged from a literary standa point, but taking the word in its widest and fullest meaning; the chol:e to be made by the Professor of Literature of the University of Edinburgh, whom falling the Pro.. fessor of Literature of the University of Glasgow. The prizes are to be called "The J. Tait Black Frizes, being a memorial to her husband, who was deeply interested in the best and most educative and elevat- ing works of literature.
