Some bad met as uni- verbies, Some during war service some during the Pearce Conferene negotia tions, house in other international activi- ties"
Since the offices have been established. international social contacts have of course, increased. Apart from association during working hours, there are variou international clubs and societies devoted A through the gear

this socint life is broadened and intensified. The Assem bly brings at least a thousand people to: Geneva from all parts of the world, for whom speel efforts made to
proble
social avation from the mor serious work of the session. Thus friendships spring up which sometimes ripen into closer relationship, and doubtless ther are many couples scattered about the world who owe their first introduction to the League in Genera
INTERNATIONAL CITIZENS.
Among the League Secretariat in Gone- va I found three Englishmen married to French women while other Englishmen had Swiss, Hungarian Polish, Belgian and Rumanian wives respectively: I found British girls-English, Irish and Scot tish-married to Spaniards (9), a Serb Czech, an Italia, & French man. A Swiss and a Japanes Had each married an Americas, a Dane and a Datchman. bad each married a Frenchwoman, and so on.
At the Labour Of Egish girls are married to French, Swiss, German-Swis Canadian, French and Ramanian hus banda Thero is an Englishman with a Swiss wife, & Frenchman with a Trish wife, Finn' with 'a French wife, & Swiss with a Russian wife A Belgian and a Swede had contracted Polish alliancevett
The linguistic effects of these uptodate bouseholds are sometime not a little in- volved. Husband and wife in some casey. do not know one another's native tongues, and French is usually the channel of com- munication. One member of the Secre ariat, himself of mixed nationality. speaks the official language at the office and Russian at home.
What a fruitful Held of research for the student of ethnology! In coarse of time their children will grow up and inter marry once more. Born of parents drawn from among the best lements in their respective countries of origin, they should eventually produer a high type of interme tional citizen and thus the League though not a super-State, may nevertheless pro- duce a super-race.

To the cricket-ball factory conie huge bundles of the best white.colides, selected for their level growth, freedom from butchers' cuts, and fineness of grain. They are thoroughly damped and then staked so as to take all stretch out of them, and afterwards, dyed. Tha familiar red.
Only the prime parts are used. These when suficiently dry from the dye bathi go to the cutters, who, with the dexterity born of long practice, moon reduce them to small sections.
For this a thin metal pattern is placed on the skin, and the cutter, with a sharp. pointed knife, soo has a large basket of sections ready for the closer
He takes two of the sections and, with a well-waxed thread-made from the finest Irish flax, closes them together by sewing from the insisle, making them into cups, two of which, placed together later arill became the fished over.
Meanwhile the quilt makers have been making the inside the balls. In the particular factory of which I write the quilt composed of feathers, eoric, and worsted-is-made with a secret process by trusted workmen in a private room, When the windings are finished they are taken to a machine and placed in cups, where, subjected to a pressure of several toc, they become the proper size and shape Thence placed in their lovers, they are taken to the weighg room
From her they go to the seamers, who holding them in cup-shaped receptacles, seam them together with one row of stitching After this a dozen balls time are placed in a tin with deer suct and subjected to heat.
This has the effect of making the lea ther acquire suficient hardness to with stand the tremendous blows given later by some of our hard hitters. From the oven the stitchers take them in hand; with a pricking wheel they run round tho bal, making alight marks so as to get all the stitches of one size, and then put in the familar rows of soWILK
This completed, the balls are taken to the polisher and stamper, and from him" to the packer.
