An application was made by Harms, Incorporated, New York, and Chappell & Co., Ltd, the music pub- lishers, New Bon Street, for an injunction to restrain the Embassy Club from in- fringing the copyright in the musical work That Certain Feeling," by performing it in public without the consent of the plaintiffs.
Mr. Gover said the plaintiffs were the owners of the copyright and the Embassy Club was a dance club of the highest possible character and reputa tion.

the liquidation of the independent Communist Sections, and the closing of the Red International of Trade Unions." The Pravda treats this heresy in an angry and hysterical manner but still styles the leaders of this new opposition 48 "comrades, which points to the fact that they have not been expelled from the party. This leads to the supposition that there is a sufficiently strong force of the rank and Ale of workers to compet caution on the part of the Soviet leaders.
For the first time in the history of Bolshevik journalism, the attack upon the leaders of the opposition is unsigned- and even not initialled, which presup- poses fear of hssasination.
From all parts of Russia news ir reach ing London that the discontent of the workers in Soviet factories and mines is increasing and that the Goverement has been approached by the Moderate Party lenders with a request to prohibit all compulsory deductions from wages.
In 1890 I gade a computation show ing what would be the result il, in the United Kingdom, all incomes above a certain modest level were put into a pool and shared out. It showed that the spendable resources of each family would not be improved by more than five shillings a week at the outside for the first year, and probably even a less sum thereafter..

and in the course of an hour's exposi- tion of the figures it appeared that the amount shown by the original calcula- tion could not be increased.... The figures show that most people, reason- ing from the particular, have an al- together too exalted idea as to the 15. Quax's ROAD CENTRAL, TEL, CENTRAL 75, standard that the total existing" pro- duct of industry can really provide.
Personally, I draw three lessons from these inexorablé statistics:
4
1. That all the wealth that we pro-) duce, even if equally divided, would provide a standard far less than the average social reformer thinks is actually in existence.
2. That it is better to have a moderate proportion of a large aggre- gate produced by willing 'co-operation of all parties than a larger proportion of a meagre aggregate, which "results from the stinted and stunted efforts of all parties watching each other in daily jealousy and internal conflict.
3. That the standard of life to be obtained without elaborate contest as i share of univerani hard work and effi- ciency under stable conditions far ex- ceeds any standard that can be got out of the production that results in a world of suspicion and artificialTM restriction.

A WOMAN'S LESSON.
Standing bright and clean among drab buildings in a street" near the Great Central terminus, Marylebone, is a block of six new flats in which couples who have children are especially welcome.

So that every room shall get more light and air than is usually obtained in crowded districts the flats are erected in two blocks of three, which are linked by, open corridors. On top of each block is a roof garden that provides enough room for a junior game of cricket, or which can be used by the parents when their children are not in possession.

sington;
A paper was submitted on "Experi- ences with Alcohol: Motor Fuels" by Mr. JD.-Ross and Dr. W. R. Ormandy. Economic considerations, it was stated, pointed to the first utilisation of alcohol fuels in tropical and sub-tropical coun- tries where sugar, starch, and cellulose were rapidly and cheaply produced...
The first really large scale experiment- on those lines was being carried out in Queensland, where a plant for the pro- duction of 2,000,000 gallons of fuel per annum was now being erected and the necessary steps were being taken for the
erection of three further plants.
The raw material to be employed in those plants were molasses from the sugar plantations and starchy products such as cassays or sweet potato.
That venture might well prove a fore- runner to a considerable number of such schemes-in-various part of the British- Empire, where conditions were suitable.
