The Vice-Chancellor, referring to a re mark of the chairman that the Scot seemed to have an unusual percentage of genius relative to men of other coun- trics, said that if they examined the statement carefully they would find that, owing to the long history of education in Scotland, the average intelligence in Scotland was probably higher than in England. But the beat brains in Great Britain were always to be found in England: He could prove that by facts.

Cook, of the drapery arm of Messrs. Cook, Son & Co., St. Paul's Church- yard, London, and mother of' Mr. Humphrey Wyndham Cook, the racing moterist.

Mra Cook left unsettled property in her own disposition valted for probato at £20,723.

HIS "JUST ONE WORD "
*COUNSEL WHO TOOK OVER 10
MINUTES TO SAY IT... During the hearing of argument in shipping case in the House of Lords last mouth, counsel, near the conclusion said: May I say a word about costs, my Lord; just one word!
The Lord Chancellor.-Will it take ten minites? I am afraid it will
Counsel then 'proomded to occupy rather more than the ten minutes with the expression of his-one word.
The various documents consist of some sheets of foolscap and four large books, beavily bound in blue leather, with ad- ditional outer covers and heavily gilt edges. Each of two books contain 702; pages, and the other two have 406 pages each, although not all are written on. Altogether the will contains 1,008 probate folios of ninety words each, or a total of 05,940 words. Hitherto the record for length has been held for some years by a document running slightly over 400 probate folios. The 8th Duke of Devonshire left a very bulky: -will of 197 folice, and the late Lord Burton left IRA
a will and codicil of 116 probate folios. The smallest will in the Registry is

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.
According to the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, there is waste of energy and time and money to many British workshops. An investiga tion, has recently been carried out in a workshop where twenty-five men engaged in assembling and repairing gas stoves." It was found that during a week of forty-six hours, on 513 occasions, one or other of the men had to borrow & tool from a neighbour. Each of those 513 delays averaged Sisce. The suggestion that each man should be provided with a complete tool kit has now been adopted
It was also found this the men were delayed through congestion at the lift about 600 times in a wek, and each delay averaged 5.88acc. These delays have now been entirely eliminated. In order to fetch store "parta and materiala from
stores at the other end of the shop” 1,301 journeys had to be made in a work by the twenty-five men, occupying on the average 3.12min a journey. A lad with a truck has now been employed to act as a runner, and the time lost by men has been reduced from 7.17.to about 2 per cent, It was found that if he used a flat brush instead of a round one, a men could save 28 per cent of the tima (or) 2.49 hours per week), that he ordinarily spent in painting the stoves.
By introducing other now implementa in one Eage, there was a daring of 47 per cent of the men's time. It is pointed, ont by the expert investigater that the greater the number of delays the more a
pieceworker, inelius to exaggerate their duration and consequence. He hurries his work, he wastes energy, and he be comes tired and discontentod. There can be no doubt," states Dr. G. I Miles assistant director of the institute,
that such a state of things is very. prevalent.”":
