The last manuscript completed by the Earl of Birkenhead before his death was "Turning Points in History," which was published at Home a week ago. Hutchinsons say that they consider it to be his #nest piece of writing,

Emile Legouls, who for more than a quarter of a century has been 'Professor of the English Language and Literature at the Sorbonne. The earlier scc- tion of the lecture, dealing with French appreciation of British writers in the past, reminds that the original literary appeal of Britons to French readers was in the Latin tongue, and that Milton was first known across the Chau nel not as the author of "Paradise Lost" but for his Latin vindication of the execution of Charles I..

This little book, a sort. of an- nual now, is a collection of "pink- unish" tales, some drawing-room and some smoke-room, rendered in lame and halting verse.

In auch stories as we have present- ed here brevity is essential, so is s sudden or unexpected denoue- ment: but far too often "Cas. tanarius" spins out the yarn for the sake of a rhyme or the re- quisite number of syllables, and far too often we see what is com. ing a long way off..

ROUND THE CAMP FIRE

SEA SCOUT'S HEROISM.

Hundreds of people waiting on Patrick's Bridge, Cork, for the ar- rival of the now motor lifeboat on "Lifeboat. Day" witnessed a brave piece of work by a Cory Sea Scout, Stephen O'Sullivan.

WOLF CUBS.

Sir Ian Hamilton was talking to some Wolf Cubs in Glasgow the other day on courage.

He said that you could not test Wolf Cubs in battle, but a dentist's chair was not a bad imitation. 4 dentist had just assured him that present-day boys were just a brave as their grandparents,

A quay labourer, named Kenney, who was sitting on the parapet of the bridge, fell over into the river.

This is a comforting thought, O'Sullivan, who was in, uniform, collecting for the Lifeboat Flag and it suggests a way of dealing Day, handed his collecting box to with the people who say they don't another collector, plunged into the know what boys are made of water and swam to Kenney. He nowadays. "Very well, Uncle," grasped him and tried to swim the modern boy must say politely, with him to a ladder on the quay,let us both go to the dentist to- another young man swimming out morrow and have a tooth out, just

Men on the quay wall above dropped a rope to O'Sullivan, who tied it round Kenney and tried again to get him nearer the lad dor. The rope was too thin and broké, both men disappearing under water.

and O'Sullivan stuck to it brought Kenney to the surface again. After a couple of attempts those on the quay managed to get a lifebuoy to him. He hung on to this with-Kenney until a boat came: up and took them to the safety of the quay.

WELDING THE NATIONS TOGETHER.

CHIEF SCOUT'S THANKS FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.

Lord Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout, has written to Sir Frederick Carden, the County Commissioner for Berkshire, expressing his ap- preciation for his reception at the Berkshire Scouta' Rally!

In his letter he says: "I was particularly glad to see so good an sons to the public in spite of the bad weather, headed by no less a person than the Lord Lieu- tenant of the County, Mr. Bonyon, our President, and by the Mayor of Reading and the Mayors of other principal boroughs of the county.

This appreciation by leading citizens of what we are trying to do in the Scout Movement towards raising the general standard of citizenship in the next generation will be a tremendous encourage- ment to the boys, and especially to their Scoutmasters, to continue and increase their efforts." ALDERMAN'S GIFT TO SCOUTS.

Alderman and Mrs. G. A. Solly, of Birkenhead, have presented the local Boy Scouts Association with eleven acres of land for use as playing fields and for Scouting ac tivities.

This gift is to commemorate their mayoral year during which the great World Jamboree was held at Birkenhead, and as an ap preciation of the kindnesses they received from Scouts from all parts, of the world,

Alderman Solly is the President of the Birkenhead Association.
