-ENGLISH VICAR
THE Vicar of Kingston, the Rev. T. B Scrutton, who recently gave hi opinion that it was not wrong for woman to go hatless to church, now give in his parish magazine his views on the wearing of mourning.
He says that neither the Christian dog nor respect for the dead demand that it is necessary to spend money on a new outfit of black clothes becaust a relative has died..
"There is," he says, “no more a reason for us to show respect to a person after death than before. If people will not credit us with right feelings unless wo wear, black, we may ignore their opinion.
"The custom of wearing black for mourning' has no other origin' than primitive and superstitious ideas. It bears hardly on poor people,
"Anyone who ignores it does a real Christian service, anyone who-insists on others conforming to it imposes a heathen tyranny, and is untrue to Christ.”]
Mr. Scrutton adds that he is not saying that it is wrong to wear black after a death or at any other
time.

With Death
Thursday Island (Queensland),
Jun, 18. Japanese pearl divers at Thurs day Island are having a computl- tion with death. So far this your eight of them have been the losers. The eighth to die in 12 months from collapse or heart failure on the sea-bed in the North Austra- Han pearling ground has been brought back to Thursday Island on the deck of a lugger.
It is stated that most If not all of the deaths have been caused by due to competition reckicasnes among the divers.
The captain of the lugger went down on to the ocean bed when Ichitaro Miyao, aged 35, the latest victim, collapsed during his work. He found him dead.
The Government Officer on the island certified that the diver had lost his life from heart failure.- Reuter.

The coming of the bus Was Heirongly resented by some of the
700 villagera. Trees had to lopped to allow double-deckera to pass through the streets.
But the new service saved a walkt of two miles to another bus route, and the regular one-hourly service to and from Lewisham was accepted and subsequently appreciated.
Then further steps were taken toward the modernisation of Downe.
Workmen appeared with picks and shovels and started to pull up the narrow streets and lanes, worn by centuries of horse traffic.
The villogors stared and wonder- ed-What was to be the next step? They were told that electricity cables were being laid and gas mains put down,

One villager, who has lived in Downe for over 10 years, staled that the only people who will reap benefit from the changes will be the shopkeepers.
