POPULACE AND PRINCE.

COMMENT BY VIČAR OF ST. MARTIN'S.

A remarkable article on the Prince of Wals by the Rev. II. R. L. Sheppard, vigor of St. Martin's Church, Trafalgar Square, appears in the October number of the St. Martin's Review, of which he is the editor. Some extracts follow:-

NOSE VACCINE FOR COLDS, PROTECTION AGAINST INFLUENZA, SMALL POT SERUM

FORESHADOWED. -

The possibility that by applying an appropriate vaccing to the lining mem brune of the nose we may be able in the near future to obtain protection against colds, influenza, and other inhaled dis- enses is foreshadowed in a report to the Medical Research Council on his enquiry into the virus of cow-pox and small-pox by Dr. Mervyn Gordon, consulting bac teriologist to St. Batholomew's Hospital.

"No one would say that the Prince's task is not a difficult on, nor is it pos- sible to deny the charm and grace with which he attempts to fulfil his duties, but what the large public which hangs on his appearances seus to be asking for is something which is rather fatallymethed less troublesome than inoculation

It is, no doubt, true in a sense that the Frince is sent out upon this far journeys to win the popular mind, but he must win it imaginatively to the ser vice of an ideal of unity which if it can be worthily achieved will make great history. If that be the purpose; it is hindered rather than served by any descent from quiet dignity, even though at the moment popular applause can be won by it.

"There was a time when it was con- sidered sufficient praise of those called

nature is past.

Further experiments are desirable to determine the extent to which this physiological property of the nasal, mucom can be exploited for the prac tical production of immunity.

Since all that is required is the mere application of the antigen (micro-. bic substance to the nasal mucosa, it. is conceivable that ultimately immuni sation by the nasal route may be found to posscas a high value in the case of threatened epidemics of respiratory borne diseases, a contingency, in which. preventive medicine is at present grave- ly. at fault.

As in such infectious maladies thei virus is air-borne, the nasal mucosa is the auriace in the body most exposed to attack. This site would appear to be the outpost where specific immunisa- tion is most needed and most likely to prove successful in checking the spread of such inhaled infection.

The men behind the guns ever pretended that their part in the war was: of no account. Most of their jokes alleged it. Their songs pictured them as men who, as one chant had it, "would be far better off in a home."

It was the R.G.A, who sang to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me":-

Oh, the B.H.A were in the front And the R.F.A. behind them,

But when we looked for the B.G.A We'd be "blowed if we could find

The RF.A first sang the ditty We Are Fred Karno's Army." Later the R.A.S. C. adopted it, but that it was primarily an artillery chorus is shown by the last lines ---..

DR. LYTTELTON AND THEIR

"VERBOSITY.

محمود

The Bev, the Hon. E. Lyttelton- former headmaster of Eton and now Dean of Whitelands College, Chelsea-at the Barnett School in Hampstead Garden Suburb, N.W., recently said he had noticed some remarkable differences in girl scholars as compared with boys.

On the whole the young women wrote three times as much as the boys.

They could not give a short answer to a question, and he had never, when read ing through young women's examination papers, found anything exquisitely funny as he did when reading through an aver age batch of boys' papers.
