YEAR
This Christmas, before the King and Queen went to Sandringham, they inspected a large chart which records the pubile engagements of the Royal Family for the year,

The map w5715 evidently started before the present King's relin. was duplicated in the office of every member of the Royal Family, and showed with lines and coloured Bags exactly where and when every 'mem- ber appeared in public.
HEAVY PROGRAMME
It
In ten years George V. Queen Mary and their sons kept nearly 3,000 public engagements and of those 800 were credited to the present King and Queen when they were the Duke and Duchess of York.
"Every Christmas," says the author, "a separate comprehensive chart was prepared for the King (George V.) and it always reached him at Sand- ringham so that he could review the year as a company director might review his balance sheet,"
King George VI, was an officer in HMS. Collingwood at Jutland and the book contains an eye-witness account by him of the battle.
He wrote to a friend:
"The Juthindi battle was a great thing to have been in, and it cer- tainly-was-very-different from what. I expected, We, of course, in the Collingwood saw a good deal more than some of the other ships, and we fred more than they did. We were not hit at all, which was very lucky, though we were straddled several times. One shell dropped over the forecastle, missing us by inches,"
Everyone remembers the balcony acene at the Palace just after the Coronation-the great cheer that greeted the Queen Muther when she appeared with the newly crowned King and Queen,
She was seen to whisper to her son, but what did she suy?
According to Mr. Bolitho, a deat old soldier who stood in that vast crowd outside the Palace railings was able to lip-read and as he walch- ed Queen Mary he turned to a friend bestle him and sald: "I can tell you what she was saying. She antd. *It is not for me they are cheering, bui for you, my son.**

'DOCUMENT' THAT DOES NOT OFFEND

CAN
YAN the person of Jesus Christ be portrayed on the
screen convincingly and without offence?
Most of us at the private showing of "Triumph" at the Curzon Theatre in London went, I imagine, with that question uppermost in our minds.
And most of us, I judged, were wholly reassured on the latter point, if not quite certain about the former.
"Triumph" is a sincere and often beautiful picture, and a real break in the right direction. As Lord Hollenden asid, in an introductory talk, it is not necessarily wrong if it departs from nursery picture-book ideas.

Daicoveries of the highest Im- purtance concerning the curative use of X-rays were revealed recently by Dr. S. Gilbert Scott, the radiologist.
Dr. Scott was delivering the Mac- kenzie Davidson Memorial Lecture before the British Institute ot Radiology at the Central Hall, West- minster.
