Wireless Church Services, At a moment when there is soms criticism of a highbrow" talk over the wireless by the Archbishop of York, the Convocation of Canter bury recently discussed the influence of broadenst church services. Can on E. G. Selwyn, in the Lower House, put forward a motion re- questing the President of Con- Focation to appoint a joint commit tee to consider the religious value of broadcast services and their bear- ing upon public worship.
We are living in an age in

Lady Ankaret Jackson, said sho was the daughter of the Countess of Carlisle and the wife of Mr. William Jackson.
Lady Ankaret conserted to the use of her name in an advertise- ment relating to a patent food she for additional buildings available was using for her little boy. She was married in April 1997, and ber for development when vacant posses- sion can be obtained in Cadogan little boy, was only two years of arc. She consented to words being street, Chelsea, and Holloway road, which have cost £120,215. In ad dition, the trust has investments used in connection with the ad. worth £43,758, Treasury Bills, worth | vertisement: £98,017, and cash £3,019.
On December 31 last there were
9,083 persons living in the trust buildings. These were divided into 2,855 tenements, with 6,242 rooms. There were 510 one-room tenementa, 1,480 two-room, 700 three-room, and
98 four-room.
"I don't want to add fuel to the fire," Mr. MacDonald replied, but there was the Cook-Maxton mani- festo, and the feeble way the N.A.C. handled that. It seemed, too, to be losing the grip of Socialism, but getting possessed of the notion that it ought to run the Parliamentary policy of the Labour Party. There has been also the superficial and catchy stuff that has been going down with the I.L.P. until it seem- ed as if it were losing the whole spirit of the movement. We have had I.L.P. members in Parliament Details of Rants Per Room, being disloyal to the Socialist idea,"

I am glad," he added, "that the ILP. in Scotland has kept its balance and sanity at this time."
Do you think you will come back1Mr. Dickson asked. The Prime Minister spread out his hands rather tiredly, as if to say "Who knows!" and, when the question was repeated, said: "If by any chance the IL.P. were to do again the work it should do, the work it was founded to do but at the moment it is about as far from that as it can possibly be."
I am sorry about it all," he added, but there it is."

In the Kennington Park-road buildings, excluding the kitchen, scullery, and bath-rooms, but cover- ing chimney sweeping, the use of venetian blinds and hot-water supply (in yard), the average weekly rent per room was 3 10d. With rates, the average weekly pay ment per room was 49. 10d.
New buildings erected on & site in King's-road, Chelsea, leased from the Chelsea Barough Council for a term of 999 years at a nominal rent, were completed in January this year, and are now fully oc cupied at an average weekly rent per room of 38. 7d. By agreement with the council only residents in Chelsea have been accepted as
tenants.

AFTER A COURT SCENE.
Arthur Talbot, who was sentericed some years ago by a district general court-martial to be shot for deser tion from the Army, re-appeared at the Old Bailey recently on a charge of stealing an overcoat and other articles.

The advertisement, said Miss Clarkson, was to be set up with a picture of one or more children at play, to give life and colour to the advertisement.

The picture selected was one of a little boy five or six years of age, but its position in relation to the testimonial made it appear that the subject of the picture was Lady Ankaret's child, whereas the child in the picture was older than could have been bora during the period of Lady Ankaret's marriage.".
This was a serious libel on Lady Ankaret and her husband. When the matter was brought to the notice of the advertising agents. they bastened to put the matter right..
They had offered Lady Ankaret a "payment in full dis- charge of all her claims against the magazine company, and her costs. This offer she had agreed to accept.

No Eroadcast of Cup Final. The Football Association have again refused the B.B.C. permission to broadcast a running commentary on the final round of the F.A. Cup.
It will be recalled that last year the B.B.C. received a similar re fusal from the Football Association, and that the B.B.C. provided an emergency broadcast by employing 2 succession of observers who hur ried from the ground at intervals to give their impressions of the game.
