London Moslems Burn Book By H.G. Wells
INSULT TO
KORAN"
Indian Moslems in Lon- don, pedlars and doctors and wealthy merchants, prayed in an East End hali recently then denounced a passage in Mr. H. G. Wells's
of "Short History
the World," and ceremonially burned a copy of the book.
Speaker after speaker sald Mr. Wells had insulted Mohammed and the Koran, and demanded that the authorities in India should ban the books.
This is the passage they object to. It is in chapter 43:
"Muhammad
. married a number
of wives in his declining years, and his life on the whole was, by modern standards, unedifying. He seems to have been a man compounded of very considerable vanity, greed, cunning, self-deception and quite sincere re- ginus passion. He dictated a book of injunctions, the Koran, which he lectured was communicated to him from God. Regarded as literature or philosophy, the Koran is certainly unworthy of ita alleged Divine i authorship."

If you will come and look at this Autumn's suitings in our Tailoring department you will see that several although changes are taking place -- the wide stripes are still popular, other designs tend to be on the quiet side. As regards styles, it will be found that not so double breasted coats are fashionable, whilst there is a tendency to have the trousers a little more narrow. All sults are cut by Europeans and made on the premises under their direct supervision.
