"The death of the lady who drew an Indian pension for ninety- three years recalls a recent con- versation on pensions at a Pall- mall club.
The question arose as to the longevity of retired Civil Servants. Various examples were given, but the oldest member of the circle capped the lot. He first saked: "Supposing a man has had forty- five years' service" and retires on A pension of £980. What total amount do you think that he would live to draw".

Opened by Prince George at Olympia
London, Oct. 12.
The 27th International Motor Show at Olympia was formally. opened to-day by Prince George. who, accompanied by ex-King Al- fonso of Spain, made a tour of in- spection of the 400 different types of cars on exhibition.
With its six miles of gangways, the exhibition is hailed as the "best show ever."
Speed and appearance are now almost taken for granted and manufacturers are concentrating

It is a coincidence that Mrs. Wills Moody was suffering from a similar injury when she retired to Miss Helen Jacobs in the final of the American women's cham- pionship last month.
FANTASTIC M.C.C. STORY
There is some mystery regarding the "instructions" given to Mr. Jardine as to the tactics to be used by his team during the In- dian tour.
To-day we are confidently in- formed that the M.C.C. used the word "body line" and pro- hibited "the kind of bowling in which the batsman is the target." "To this," it is added, "Mr. Jar- dine agreed".
In the course of a speech at the opening of the exhibition, Prince George congratulated the manu- facturers on the wonderful reco- very achieved not only in the home market, but in expanding the mar- kets overseas.-Reuter.
NANKING'S RAILWAY EXHIBITION
Nanking. Oct. 11. The 2nd Railway Products Exhibition, which opened at the local YMCA. yesterday afternoon was attended by a number of Government of- Acials as well as representatives of the various civic organizations. Mr. Tseng. Chung-ming, Vice-Minister of Railways, presided and de- livered the opening address.
To me the suggestion appears purely fantastic. In his book, "In. Quest of the Ashes." Mr. Jardine The Exhibition will keep open indignantly denies the charge for three weeks.-Kuo Min. that there has ever been any such bowling under bis captaincy. "Apart from commenting," ke
