CHAMBER'S COMPLAINT.
means
A complaint recently made by the London Chamber of Commerce that British judicial procedure, though the most perfect in the world, has become an expensive luxury beyond the
of the majority of people has resulted in reports on the, cost of litigation which have been drawn up by both the General Council of the Bar and the Counelf of the Law Society for submission to the Lord Chancellor.
TRAVELLER'S VIEWS.
Although it might rob romance: writers of a thrill; I feel I should put on record, as I told a film-struck lady recently, that Chinese Dra- gons are only "crocodiles on par- ade," writes Dr. O. D. Rasmussen, the traveller and explorer.
Many years ago, when Europians came into contact with China, they
found a' dragon symbolised in vari. ous forms. Remembering St. George, the Nibelungenlied, and other weit- ern folklore, they at once concluded that the Chinese dragon was also a symbol of dark magle worshipped from a sense of fear. But they were wrong, as later students of Chinese folklore discovered..

While expressing the opinion that there is some truth in the Chamber's view, the Bar Council point out that
