Dr.
John Martin Littlejohn, Dean of the British School of Osteopathy, was cross-examined by Sir William Jowitt, K.C., on be half of the British Medical Asso- ciation, on the question of Ameri- can degrees.
When Sir Willam mentioned a degree of Texas University, Dr. Littlejohn produced a docunient issued by the Add-Ran Christian University, which, he said, was

They certainly have not done a thing to decrease their popularity. I personally keep in touch with hundreds of these amateur organisations and I can testify in their flourishing but it is in the provincial cities and cape- cially in small towns and villages that they find their chief hunting ground, according to Mr. Whit- worth
"There are almost unlimited
numbers of enthusiastic amateur actors in this country today," he said, "and the only real difficulties they have to contend with are penses and the trouble of finding suitable halls. You can be full of enthusiasm but it needs a little money to produce a play even in a emall village hall. However, most of thesesocieties seem to be able to draw good crowds, provided of course, they are reasonably com- polent.

"I suppose the most popular authors from their point of view would Include Frederick Lonsdale. Bernard Shaw, Galsworthy, Sir James Barrie and A. A. Milne", he said, "but you also get plenty of good, solid Shakespeare on occasion."United Press.

Dr. Littlejolin replied that he had previously had his scientific training in the University of Glas- gow and had been president of the Amity College.
Sir William said that the thesis described Dr. Littlejohn as Fellow of Political Philosophy.
"I am not a Doctor of Philosophy of Columbia," Dr. Littlejohn said. "I submitted the thesis, and I was taken ill and did not full the final examination."
