There is no disguising that the Treaty of Versailles has been upheld by superiority of armaments.

This is not to say that Is the problem of Poland and Germany has been solved, but there will at least be an end of the suspicions and tensions between France and Germany caused by the real sapposed attempts of the German "people to redress by alliance and-by surreptitious arming, the military weakness under which they labour ed.

Rice and Earthquakes...

A young Japanese in Tokyo claims to be able to foretell earth quakes by studying the behaviour, of boiled rice which seems a re- markable development in the scien- ce of seismology. It is true that there are small boys in some Eng- lish households who resent the ar- rival of rice pudding at table, but any trouble that may arise from that most unnatural and reprehen- sible distaste rarely assumes the proportions of an earthquake-at least not in well-regulated house holds. However, the Japanese dis corner of forthcoming disaster has certainly provided another reason for avoiding the dish; the rice pudding rebel may now be able to plead that no humanitarian parent ought to expose her offspring to a diet that may be so deeply freight ed with tidings of doom for lands scross the sea.

Psychology in Business

Shook Hands With the Duchess,

Arnold Bennett's story of "The Card" is recalled by the incident of a young commercial traveller who shook hands with the Duchess of York at Southampton for a wager.

For next year the Board will be composed of 10 representatives of the "Bourgeoise," 10 selected from "guilds" and 4 from the Chinese "kai fonga" in Kowloon whose Hospital in Yaumati: Last week the first group of 10 gentry was elected in the ceremonial hall of the Tung Wah by those who have previously served, or are still serv ing, as such members.
