indeed, Capt. de Trafford was riding in the racing in which the Prince of Wales obtained his arst polat-ta-point win.

MR. ROOSEVELT'S PUN
Dr. Wirt's "revelations." however, appear to have strengthened ra- ther than weakened Mr. Roose velt's position. But I gather that the pun with which the President greeted the penitent Congressmen who marched out in column of fours to greet him on his return was not his own.
"The mot that Congress was go- "bad to Wirt" was, I ing from understand, coined about a fort- night before Mr. Roosevelt used it. But, like all able politicians, the President knows when to annexe a good joke,

DR. WIRT AND THE BRAIN TRUST
Dr. Wirt. the.. Indiana school- master who claimed to have dis LEAGUE OF NATIONS INVENTOR covered a Communist plot among the members of Mr. Roosevelt's "Brain Trust," seems to have been finally discredited.

PEMROSE DAY-APRIL 19 The late Lord Redesdale used to argue that the foundation of Prim- rose Day on the assumption that
the primrose was the Earl of Bea- consfeld's favourite flower was due
to an error.
It will be recalled that when visited Beacons- Queen Victoria fields' grave at Hughenden she laid upon it a bunch of primroses, with the inscription in her own hand: "His favourite flower,"
Lord Redesdale held the opinion tion in the World Conference last that the Queen was referring "to Consort (who loved June, contains a possible explana- the Prince tion of the origin of Dr. Wirt's primroses), and that the statesman her she honoured with whom charges,
