Conservative Headquarters. In political circles considerable interest is aroused by the resignation of Colonel F. S. Jackson as Chairman of the Con- servative and Unionist Party organisa tion, and it is known that he is to be Lord Lytton's successor as Governor of Bengal when the latter retires early next year. Colonel Jackson, who was former- the War Ty Financial Secretary to Office, has represented the Howdenshire Division of the East Riding since 1915, and was appointed chairman of the party organisation in March, 1923, when he followed Viscount Younger in the office. He has thus been responsible for the running of the machine at two general elections
Sir Herbert Blain, who is also retiring. has been Principal Agent for two years and a half. Both he and Colonel Jackson have done good work. There may have been differences of opinion between Colonel Jackson and Mr. Baldwin, and between Colonel Jackson and Sir Herbert Blain, but the important fact is that the Conservative headquarters ja recognised to be the most efficient political machine, certainly in this country, and perhaps in any country. It is a marvel of organisation, sad both the chiefs who are retiring have helped to increase its efficiency,
Colonel Jackson will receive a peerage. Sir Herbert Blain, who formerly con- trolled the underground railways of Lon- don, will return to a commercial appoint- ment. While Mr. Baldwin is filling the vacancies at headquarters in his capacity as leader of the party it will be interest- ing to see whether he reviver the post of Deputy-Chairman. This was filled by the Marquis of Linlithgow, but when he retired from it less than a year ago no successor was appointed..

All this week London has been asked, and pressed, and cajoled to "help St. Bartholomew's Hospital, which hopes to get £20,000 as a result of a big effort. Bart's" is in need of money, and so "Week '' was organised in a Carnival spirit, beginning with a great procession through part of the City, starting from the Embankment. It is estimated that half a million people lined the route. There were tableaux in seemingly endless numbers and variety, Fleet Street made a fine effort to help the hospital, and nearly every newspaper was represented |--

Aaroplanas for 'All!
It is interesting sometimes to reflect how marvellously the world, has changed in the last twenty yearS or,so in mechanical inventions. Perhaps there is nothing quite so astonishing as the de velopment in respect of aviation. What would a man who died in, say, the early years of the late King Edward's reign, remark if he came to life again and discovered as he went down Bond Street that he could walk into a shop there. and buy an aeroplane? But that is the sober fact. You can get one."' off the peg as you might say. The idea ̈ap- pears to be to encourage the private owner, and the firm responsible for this latest enterprise, is prepared not only to sell you a aeroplane but to arrange, if you so desire, for your training, which costs about £25.

from the cost of a machine which amounts to about £800-is that for taking-off and landing a field at last, 400 yards long it needed. Private flying can hardly hope to become widely popular until a regular organisation of local aerodromes is established.-H.B.
