A profiteer bought a big country estate, and decided-chiefly because of its social advantages-to take up golf, a game of which he had no idea, and to join the local club.

He had his first round with one of the members and strolled on to the tee, after a sumptuous lunch, with He a fully-equipped bag of clubs and a

caddle.

the Sacred Heart, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, who, with the as- sistance of direct labour provided by the members of his congregation and their friends, has completed after seven years' work the great undertaking of erecting church at a cost of £30,000.

The church was opened by the Archbishop of Birmingham (Dr. Thomas Leighton Williams), the sermon being preached by the Archbicop of Liverpool. (Dr. Richard Downey). The church is an im- posing building of generous pro- portion and was described by Dr. Downey as a "mircale of beauty."

Meanwhile the Coronation has been definitely postponed until the Spring as Carol apparently fears the scandal of the absence of the Queen at the ceremonies, and an extra- ordinary meeting of Parliament has been summoned for the beginning of October, when, it is anticipated, an important announcement with respect to the Royal Family will be made.

SECRET FUND.

GERMAN MINISTER'S DRASTIC STEP.

The astounding statement was made recently in Berlin that, to conceal from the public the exist

ence of a secret fund of the Was Ministry, the former Minister of Finance, Herr Kohler, deliberately turnt Treasury bilis to the value of £2,000,000.

This is asserted by a Munich paper, said to have good sources of information, and receives some the Berliner corroboration from Tageblatt.
