But this great cricketer--he has taken more wickets in Tests than any other man-supplied a clue to the problem by the manner in which he met the situation. There was a "Test match temperament" in that. "I can only define it as the opposite of "Testitis," he said.

I have just concluded a round of visits to these various festivals. which has involved travelling practically the length and breadth of the country, and close touch with its people. Perhaps the most atriking impression to be recorded is the astonishing way in which Belgium has recovered from the devastation of the War.

It is manifested both in the re- building of fabric and the obvious prosperity of the nation, with 3 standard of life considerably high- er than that prevailing before the War, but more particularly in the great national festivities which, in less than twelve years after the Armistice, the Belgians have been able to organise.
