But while the. older..type.of.clergy. is supporting the movement to enu- trol auch marriages, the younger ones take the opposite view.

TEN SHORT SEA STORIES IN THE 'LONDON GAZETTE
TEN very short sea stories appeared in a supplement to the "London Gazette" recently. They tell of the bravery of the men of the Merchant Navy in face of the enemy and they are masterpieces of simple English.
Many people who read them as- sumed that they had been written by a distinguished author. They were wrong.' The stories were written by a man who has made his name as an artist in gold.
He is Professor Reginald Morier Glendowe, whose war job is to record the bravery of Britons at sea.
He means to do it without "officialexe" -or, as he says, "to do it in decent English."

"When this new war came I offered myself for a Civil Service job. Al first I was unlucky. I was told that things had changed a good deal and that, having been more than 20 years out of harness, I wouldn't be of any

Then I tried my old love, the Admiralty. In a short time I found myself here, in the special section of Honours and Awards, which includes the Royal Navy, the Merchant Navy, And the Fishing Fleets."

A MAN WHO HAS SAVED MILLIONS OF LIVES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WAS CREMATED LAST MONTH AT GOLDERS GREEN, N.W.
He was 58-years-old Sir Patrick Laidlaw, the pathologist who seven years ago announced from an old army hot that he had tracked, with two companions, the source of influenza germ.
Medical men said it was perhaps the most important dis- covery in medical history, for when he announced-that-he- and his companions had established that influenza was a filterable virus, it was the world's first definite step towards preventing one of mankind's most deadly diseases,
From 1918 to 1920, more than 15,000,000 people died from Influenza. Together with the common cold, it was costing the nation £10,000,000,
The disease could not be controlled until the basic cause had been discovered.
The three British doctors of the Medical Research Council found that the causal agent was a microbe so small that it could not be seen in a microscope. It could pass through finely porous filters that held back visible bacteria.
The influenza virus then joined the ranks of the smallpox and measles viruses, of which medical science had already con- siderable experience.
So they tried to isolate a serum which would counteract the influence of the virus. Every disease was known to produce in a
