ENGLISH FOOD WITH ENGLISH NAMES.

LORD DERBY ON MENUS FOR VISITORS.

Speaking at A luncheon in London recently, Lord Derby criticised

menus in foreign languages." He was head of the Travel Association, a body which was trying to induce more people to visit Great Britain, but he said English food described in English innguage must be provid- ed for the visitors, particularly Americans. There was one thing which the association had to com bat, and that. was the food at some hotels The luncheon provided that day was good English Fare and the menu was in English.

The Empyrean was then manœu- vred as close as possible to the help- "They could be anchored near the less sailing vessel.

"Of course, the ships would have to be altered internally, but that would probably be, cheaper than building new houses and pulling down slums.

"And they would be so healthy, The children could play on the decks and get plenty of fresh air...

The storm was increasing in violence and the skipper and an- other member of the crew of the Our Need, the latter having received an injury, elected to remain on board their own vessel. On the following day, though the storm had some- what abated, the weather conditions were still very bad and the rescue. of these two men was effected in a similar manner by another steam trawler, the Earbuds.

After this enthusiasm it was de pressing to meet with the frigid dubiousness of the Admiralty.

"Floating workhouses!" snorted permanent official when his opinion was solicited.

The ships are fatally unsuitable, The cost of conversion would be huge, and, while it is often thought that ships are worth nothing as scrap, they are actually very valu able.

Besides, having ships used for this purpose would lower the dignity of the Navy."

SHAREHOLDERS' CRITICISM,

Midotier shareholders of the Famous Players' Canadian Corpora. bioa, which was lately acquired by the American corporation of the 1 basis of four same name as ahares for five, which means an ap proximate price of $58 (£11 195) per share, are expressing strong dissatisfaction with the terms of the sale.
