The Australian cricketers are going to Chequers next, Sunday as the guests of the Prime Minister.

DINING WITH THE. BUFFS I dined during the week-end with the London branch of the Fast and Fresent Association of the Buffs.
The Buffs are, I think, the only regiment which is up to strength in numbers. Ninety per cent of its personnel are men of Kent,
The Buffs also hold the Army golf and cross-country champion- ships, the latter for the third year in succession."
The cross-country » team are teetotallers and non-smokers.
In Sergeant Bell they have a 42- year-old runner who ran in the winning team of 1920 and again the winning teams of the past
three years.
The Bus owe their present suc. cessful position largely to the work of their regimental associa
tion...
The association has fourteen branches in Kent. General Sir Arthur Lyndon Bell, the Colonel of the Regiment. devotes his whole time to the organization.
The result is that the association has been able not only to find em- ployment for all ex-Bufis but also to supply the regiment with a full quota of Kentish recruits.
There is a moral in this. if every regiment ran its organisation on the same lines, there would be no need for the British Legion. A
great deal of money, which is at
present spent on overhead ex- penses, would thereby be saved.
While the War Office gives a pat on the back to regiments whose associations are well run, it does not reprove those that are not so, enthusiastic.
