Quackery
NO MAN can prophesy the re-
sult of a war if war comes to Europe.
Lord Horder, who recently addressed the British Associa- tion, was not over-stating the case when he said that the "salvaging of the world" may depend On whether Western Europe and America succeed in preserving their individual civili- sation.

The dictators may possibly be sincere in the belief that their methods are a panacea for the strain of the times and An effective remedy against anarchy. But medicine has nothing
say for these nostrums, Parading or dragoon- ing patients in the mass is at best a form of quackery; and when the cost of the prescription is considered, the proposed vic- tims of the experiment may well tremble. "What matter the colour of their shirts If they are soon to be their shrouds?" If civilisation is really to be saved, it must be by some means less dangerous than muss hypnotism and the disclpline of the barrack yard.
The Smallest Village IT IS even more "exclusive" to
be an Eldonian in England to-day than an Etonian. For there are only nine Eldonians-- inhabitants of what was recent- ly described in the press as the smallest and loneliest village in England. Moreover, there are no Old Eldonians. Another odd fact about this tiny hamlet, which is four miles from the nearest mail box, or "pillar box," and telegraph office, is that it is in Hampshire; and those who have the feeling that solitude has fled to the remoter corners of the Island should be en- couraged at the thought of its lurking so close to the centre of things.
Yet now that Eldon has been "nows," explorers will be push- ing into darkest Hampshire;. and few of them will be as sensitive as the poet who wrote:
The fliger-post says Mamblr.
And that is all I know
Of the narrow road to Mamble,
And should I turn and go
To that place of lazy token,
That Hes above the Teme... There might be a Mamble broken
That was insom In a dream. So that the Nine Worthies will have to take enro, if they are- not to find the groat world, in-: stead of the owl, hooting at their gates, and, perhaps, Chas ing them to pillar and post..

It was a man with the weather-beaten face, in loose blue jersey and sea boots, who spoke.
"Well, where will you be?" I asked.
"I'll be looking into ice and fog somewhere in the White Bea," he replied, and I'll be lucky if I can see the boys in the Ash pounds for'ard handling the cod."

There the ocean foar shelves steeply up and the sea churns into a great confusion of waters.

Are there any ballads about the men of the Ashing fleets? There may be, but I've never heard of them.
Why are they unsung? Because they are slicnit. Because they take their job as a matter of course.
We may look to the Royal Navy for protection in time of war; but it is to the men of our great fishing flect that we must look, war or peace, year in year out, for a large part of that food which is Mic.
