The man who will do the shoving is the Lord Chancellor. He has introduced a Bill in the House of Lords giving him powers to deal with aged or infirm J.P.s.

This indicates that not enough i ancient J.P.s have taken the hint given in 1938 and repeated only last February that they should transfer to a supplemental list, holding their office for udminis- trative purposes only and no lon- ger sitting on the Bench.

In the past six months no J.P. has been appointed who has not agreed to being placed on the supplemental list when he

Britain's Juvenile Courts, where youthful benches are parti- cularly desirable, have thirteen magistrates between eighty-five and eighty-nine and one, a man, over ninety.

ETYMOLOGY DOUBTFUL

It is likely that this war will be responsible for the introduction of many new words to the Eng- lish language. "Camouflage" and many others were readily assi- milated after 1918. This time, we shall probably add more words of Arabic origin, as most of the Royal Air Force troops in the Middle East seem to be learning enough of the language to explain their wants to the natives.

The Arabic words we already have in the language, most of them with the 'al' prefix, such as alchemy, alhambra (literally "the Drama! red house"), alkali and so on, are believed to have been brought back by the Crusaders. It is in- teresting to note that alchohol comes from the Arabic "al . koh'?". the 'minerál preparation used for darkening eye-lids.

The R.A.F.'s contribution, how- lever, is more likely to be of a lighter variety than such words as algebra and alembic. One 'erk' was heard so say to another on a desert aerodrome the other day:
