A Government patrol officer, in Papua' ate some "death medicine" to prove to native villagers that It was harmless. The natives had warned the officer that he would die if the "medicine" merely touched his skin.

UNIFORMS
MAN'S tailor told a reporter the other day that it is months since he has had an order for a new suit of evening clothes. One would have expected. this, for in a time of severe economy evening dress is one of the luxuries most easily dis- pensed with, as are those large parties at which men in the black-and- white of evening dress look so much more agree- able than in the clothes they wore at lunch.
Apart from this, even- ing dress is the uniform of pleasure in a world rich in superfluities or, at least, in a society rich in superfluities, and is, there- fore, symbolic of some- thing at variance with the spirit of the hour.
I hope, however, that the disappearance of even- ing dress is only tempor. ary, that it will return with the return of peace, and that our children will live to world in which a suit of evening clothes for

Even this small de- clension from the regulation costume of the game made one feel that this. was not football up to the Charles Buchan standard.
The genius of golf, it is said, has survived the dis- appearance of the scarlet coats that used to make it so lovely a game among the sandhills; but I cannot help thinking that golf would have evolved into still greater per-

If, then, uniform is so im- portant in work and in sport, is it not reasonable to believe that it is equally important in social life? Consider the part that evening dress plays in the theatre, for example. How gay is the scene in the stalls as even the ugliest man in a white shirt treads on women's toes on the way to his sent! I have sometimes thought that, the stalls seen from the gallery are often more interesting than the

For one thing; I like uniforms. I like clergymen to-look-like-clergymen. Highlanders to looke Highlanders, and butchers in blue aprons to look like butchers very nice but chers.
What a commanding figure is the policeman in his uniform: out of it he is only human-no longer one's superior, but one's equal. Hospital nurses in the costume of their pro- fession insnire double con- fidence in their Samaritan skill and selflessness. I have always thought that the modern attack on the housemaid's cap and apron, though well meant, was deplorable, since, if it succeeded it would result in the disapearance of one of the comparatively few charming features of civilisation.

play which they certain- ly would not be if the oc- cupants of the stalls
were dressed in the evening as they are dressed at break- fast.
Opera at Covent Garden could scarcely have survived unless many people-have-been- willing to pay large sums of money, not to listen to music, but for the pleasure of seeing a crowd of men and women in evening dress.
*
I confess my heart sinks when I enter one of those theatres to Continental which men and women go merely to see the play and where nobody has taken the trouble to change from day to evening dress. How shabby the drama seems without shirts to white rows of brighten it from the audi- torium! That, no doubt, is what the late George Alex- ander felt when he made an order about evening dress in

irregularity of his costume.
To wear evening dress on some occasions, however, is not only a duty but a pleasure. After a hard day's work, to change one's clothes is like beginning day over again. It is an escape from the drab- ness of toil into the uniform of leisure, and one's spirits rise accordingly. One is ready to face cheerfully even the ordeal of a long dinner at a party.
The pleasure the eye re- celves from uniforms will be admitted at once by anyone who has ever watched cricket at Lord's. Imagine ↑ Test match in which Bradman came out to bat wearing the Blummocky evening dreas of a waiter in a bankrupt re- staurant, and Woodfull, his partner at the other end, ap- peared in a grey flannel shirt and plus-foura, with his braces exposed. Imagine too that tho English flelders stood in their

All that has gone.. King- street has set up new idols.
The assertion I have quoted is taken from "The Betrayal of the Left," a 9s. book- edited, partly-written and. published by Mr Gollancz.
This book makes mince- meat of the Communists and their self-righteous claim to be the workers' only friends.. Indeed, it suggests that they are no friends of the worker at all.
Out of the mouths and manifestos of its leading spokesmen it convicts them of an indefensible betrayal of the anti-Nazi cause.

In September, 1939, in a pamphlet called "How to Win the War," Harry Pollitt said: "To stand aside from this conflict, to contribute only re- volutionary-sounding phrases while the Fascist beasts ride rough shod over Europe, would be a betrayal of every- forebears have thing our fought to achieve."
He also said: "The Communist Party supports the war, belleving it to be a just war, which should bc supported by the whole work- ing class and all friends of De-
