It required only the presence of Mr. Kirkwood to make a perfect success in absurdity of the meeting of the British- Israel World Federation in the Central Hall, London, to protest against the Stone of Destiny Bill. It was a large gathering, and as full of unconscious Bumour as Mr. Kirkwood's Bill. Speak ing in deadly seriousness, the leaders of the Society, headed by Lord Gisborough,

The Corporation of Edinburgh has feted distinguished soldiers and sailors,

famous statesmen of our own and other countries, and eminent leaders in every walk of life; but last week, for the first time, it welcomed an Olympian Cham- pion-Eric H. Liddell; the winner of the 400 metres risce. Nut only so, but they presented him with a gold watch., and chain. His upright and manly bearing bis modest and unassuming disposition, and his sterling devotion to principle had inspired them with the greatest esteem and respect, and they honoured bim as a main in the fullest sense of the word." A sentence or two from Liddell'a speech of thanks should be quoted. He said that America specialised in their various events, and they had people who went about the country to pick out any Endent which came to the surface. We had nothing like that in this country, but we got as much pleasure out of our sport, perbaps, even anore than others. He per- sonally was rather privileged in having his talent found out for him. When he was at school, his headmaster drew up a report in which he said he : did not think Liddell was as good as he appeared to be, but somehow he could not catch him. It was in that way that his talent was first discovered, so that he enjoyed. the same advantage as the Americans, THE CHAPPERING CHINESE

DRASTIC BEER BAN.

DISMISSAL OF BREATH SMELLS-

Prohibition authorities are rejoicing to-day at the drastic action taken by Mr. Heary Ford to enforce the law among his thousands of workmen. The motor-car manufacturer has had posted in all his plants, shops, and offices the following cariously worded warning:-

From now on it will cost a man his? job, without any more excuse or appeal being considered, to have the odour of beer, wine, or liquor in his breath, or to have any of these intoxicants on his person or in his home. The Eighteenth Améndinent is part of the fundamental Jaw of this country::. It was meant to be enforced. So far as our organisa tion is concerned it is going to be enforced to the letter."
