"QUE FIRST DIRECTOR " You could never remain satisfied, to use a vulgar expression, merely to hold down a'job. You devote yourself body and soul In putting every ounce of energy you possess into the work you happen to bave in hand and thereby you increase the responsibilities of the post. The result is that after you have held office for any length of time the appointment is changed out of all recognition-to the consequent bewilderment of your predecessors and the equal embarrassment of your successors.

Sub-Inspector Tyler told those present that in spite of the tolera- tion and eficiency of the umpires, there were stil much blowing of whistles and many incidents of injuries and dirty play during the course of the game. The idea of the organization was to make the game into a faster, cleaner and
more enjoyable one. To make the players realise that the alm was game but not only to win the chiefly to be in it. The umpires" duty was to influence the players and to do away with the danger and bad elements which so often exist

The disheartening character of the fight against traffic in drugs is well illustrated in the latest report by Colonel T. W. Russell, of the Ceneral Narcotics Intelli gence Bureau in Cairo.
