"From Contented Cow"
LORD ASKWITH ON MAKING LIFE EASIER.
"If it is true, as Sir William Beveridge says, that the white races are declining, then inventors must come to the aid of the white man," said Lord Askwith at the annual banquet at the Holborn Institute of Restaurant of the Patenteas.

Then, continued Lord Askwith, there was Mr. Ford, who had told us that one had got to find out what the world wanted and then to make it in great quantities.
Real Gist of Invention.
No matter how we jooked at it, the real gist of invention was how to smooth the difficulties of life and give people more of the amon- ties of life, so that in a small or big way the world might be en- abled to progress.
Sir Joseph Cook, High Commis- sioner for Australia, said that he saw nothing but progress on all sides. People were too fond of shouting that the British Empire was dying and coming to an end. It was time we got out of that psychology. There was no evid- ence whatever of any decline in the British Empire.
At the annual meeting of the institute earlier in the day the decision of the judges at the re- Exhibition that cent Inventions
there was no invention last year of sufficient merit to justify the nward of the Grey-Wilson Me- morial gold medal was sharply criticised.
Professor A. M. Low defended the withholding of the medal, which, he said, could be awarded only for an invention of exception- ally outstanding merit.
£4,000,000 FOR ART. FORTUNATE AMERICAN
TOWN.
Approximately four million pounds will become available for the enrichment of America's art collections and the extension in this country of education in and up- preciation of art through the set- tlement announced to-day of the estate of the late Mr. E. D. Libbey, of Toledo. This sum represents the amount to be turned over to the Toledo Museum of Art, the re- siduary legatec under the terms of Mr. Libbey's will, and ranks among the largest bequests of money ever made for such a pur-
pase.
The final estimate of the value of Mr. Libbey's residuncy estate has been made possible by the sale of estates and holdings of stock in Libbey-Owens Glass Company, re- presenting, roughly, 41 per cent. interest, to a group of bankers Contracts and industrialists. covering the transaction have just bean signed with the approval of the Probate Court.
"In limiting clearances to the same figure for the same period last year, he has imposed another injustice, for we all know that the
trade was practically at a stand- still in 1920, with the trade slump and the General Strike thren The 6 per cent. does not help at all
"It will upset many big eon- tracts. I know of one which was cancelled this morning. In fact, it is too much to say that for a time it will mean chaos to the wine trade, for traders will find it im- possible to guarantee deliveries they have promised.
"The Chancelier has obviously taken this course to prevent ab- normal clearances before his Bud- get announcements, but he should remember that this is the time of year when stocks are replenished by retailers--a matter of ordinary business and financial precaution. |

"WILLING TO GIVE EVIDENCE.”
WHAT ADVERTISEMENT BROUGHT FORTH. Frederick Charles Smith, thirty. contractor, of Union haulage What East Greenwich, Was charged at Bow-street Police Court recently before Mr. Fry solicit Mr. with attempting to Henry Stewart Moore, solicitor, of Messrs. Stewart Moore and Twyford, Haymarket, to commit an offence-namely, to suborn him (Smith) to commit perjury, and, alternatively, with doing an act calculated to pervert the course of justice. i
A further charge of attempting to obtain £7 by false pretences was withdrawn.
Mr. Barker, prosecuting, said that recently a Dr. Pierce, was convicted at Marlborough-street of a grave offence, and in view of an appeal his solicitors, Messrs. Stewart Moore and Twyford, ad- vertised" for witness. On Feb- ruary 1 Smith callod at their Through the bequest the Toledo offices and said that he wanted Museum of Art, which already to help Dr. Pierce and was willing ranks among the country's most to give evidence. He was asked important art centres, will have to call again, the police were com- out municated with, and when he re- ample endowment to carry plans which include the erection turned later in the day Det.-Sgta. of a building to house the art Beard and Patterson were waiting

Then endowment of the institu- tion which previously has been supported by popular subscription, comes as a fitting climax to Mr. Libbey's benefactions to Toledo, Coming from Boston to Toledo, he established a #mall cut-glass business, which did not attract at tention until the World's Fair, when his exiribit won much favour. ablo coinment. From this emall one of beginning he developed Toledo's greatest industries and at the time of his death left an catate million- Bix of approximately pounds..
Smith then said that he knew nothing about the case, but was! He added that he "prepared to go dead over on the doctor's side." would have to be told what to say. Aaked by Mr. Stewart Moore if he knew Dr. Pierce he said he did not. He had given false evidence, he went on, in a previous case. He asked £7 for his expenses, and added, "There is no fear that I will let you down."
Det. Sgt. Beard, who had been introduced to him as a friend of the doctor's, then revealed his identity, and arrested him.
Mr. Fry committed him for trial at the Central Criminal Court, bail being allowed.
