Mr. Jones was an absentee last! Torquay he was suddenly taken ill year, as Walter Hagen will be this

On the following day the defen dant told the sergeant that he had suffered from attacks of biliousness since the war and that he was help- less for about an hour. The con- tention for the insurance company was, that he should have disclosed bia liability to these attacks. Mr. Ryecraft reminded the judge that there had been a lot of talk recently about the safety of the public and the new Roads Bill,, and defendant, he nrged, should not have been driving a car.
No American professional is more to be feared than Diegel, and the player who beats this buoyant little man will be the winner. It is hardly likely that. Diegel beaten by anybody in fine weather. His mortal fpe is wind.
Should Mr. Jones take part in the Open (writes Mr. Clyde Foster in a London paper) our men will be extremely hard pressed in the American their attack on stronghold. It is rather depressing to reflect that the winner of the British Open Championship has had the letters U.S.A.. after his name since 1923, when Arthur Havers, then of Coombe Hill, won by one stroke from Walter Hagen.

The prestige of British trade is founded on the character of the goods, the effectiveness of the ser- vice, and, not least, on the integrity and ability of those engaged in it. The weaknesses which our evidence reveals are known most certainly and most directly to the customer, and to ignore them would be to lower, not to raise, his opinion of our window, and would be to him as well as ourselves a dis-service. Prestige cannot, in our judgment, be maintained by such a policy of concealment and inaction."

Although they had not been successful he could not but feel Choungchow that they were doing a very useful public service if drawing attention to the danger of Alling up proposal forms in a lax way.
