Sir Henry Bunbary, Controller and Accountant-General of the Post Office, in opening the discussion, said that Sir John Reith's paper was a proof of the adage that if "you wanted to produce a bureau- crat you should take a business man and put him into an official posi- tion. (Laughter.) He had never heard anything more bureaucratic than Bir John's paper. The thought of him giving the public what it did not want-and, of course, that was true (laughter) was a stimulating thought, and was the secret of his success.

Sir Geoffrey Clarke, who also contributed a paper on. "Business Management of the Public Ser viers," said that the tendency for public services to be taken over by public management was steadily increasing, and he did not think that, judged by the light of ex "perience, the change had proved de- trimental to the interests of the

there was a knock at the door of Farmer Klaus, the father of the murderer of the old Sergeant Wille. The young constable informed the astonished daughter of the house that her father must accompany him at once to the office of the ma vor, where an important document POLICE DYNAMITE A HOUSE. was waiting for his signature.

Farmer Klaus, hearing his pro- testing daughter arguing with a strange man, came himself to seg what was the trouble. No sooner had he entered the room than the young constable drew his revolver and fired several shots at him point blank. The farmer staggered across the room and collapsed on the floor, mortally wounded.

Constable Wilhelm Wille, looked at him with a quiet smile. "At last thou art avenged, my father!" he said calmly.

He walked atraight to the police station, where, as though nothing out of the ordinary had occurred, he gave himself up and informed the sergeant in charge of what he had done.

The constable is now undergoing a medical examination to ascertain if he is done.
