To refer to the report, issued last July by the Currency Committee is not, perhaps, the way to court popularity at the present time. The Committee of experts went into the matter of local currency and what they said failed to meet with popular approval. A remedy for our economic ills was expected and none was forthcoming.

old Chiness proverb. The account of the Sandhurst curriculum given at the Head Master Conference, which wo summarisa on Fago 1, makes it clear that at least as far ng that institution is concerned, the British view about the sort of

inentality required for the army has not been entirely satisfactory. One head master was quoted as saying only a year ago that he would "only advise boys who would be quite impossible in any other walk of life to go to Sandhurst." An education, ne Colonel TOLLEMACHE (who himself teaches at Sandhurat) explained, which "dendenad the boy's intellect and led his thoughts into narrow channels," which only asked him to have an active mind when his body was exhausted," which never taught him to think out things for himself," and which employed him for hours taking his rifle to bits, and still more hours putting it together again," would never do, in this head master's opinion, for any boy who had the wits to be a professional or business man. Does this first-hand description of a soldier's education explain some of the more obscure. events of the war? It certainly enables one

"Paradiso" for Tricksters,

A railway solicitor at Southend Police Court described Leigh-on-Son" Station as a "paradise" of people trying to defraud the railway. He said it was the custom among those people to take a Bouthend to Leigh return ticket, travel beyond their destination, and then to return to Southend in the evening and try to give up the unclipigd return half from Leigh.

The Last Straw!

A man told the North London magistrato. "They had put the bailiffs in for the rates, the gas company had cut off the supply, tho water was going to be turned off, and I had got no money. Then I got the chance of caring a pound with my old motor-lorry-and a policeman stopped me because my licencé had run out." The magis- trate sympathised, but imposed a fine.

Capone's Brother.

For evading Income-tax three of Sunrface "Al Capone's gangster henchmen, including his eldest brother, were sent to prison by the Chicago court last month. The sen- tences were: Ralph Capone, three years; Frank Nitti, 18 months, and Jake Guzik (Al's "business ager) three years. Ralph Capono was also accused of breaking the Prohibition Act. Nitti's income for the Inst three years was £108,577. Ralph Capone in the last five years has received £375,000, and Guzik's income for the last three years totalled £250,000. Nitti was given permission to spend Christmas with his family before going to prison.
