MR. J. D. BUSH

In proposing a vote of thanks for the speaker on behalf of the Rotary Club, Rotarian J.D. Bush said that child welfare bad for long exercis ed the minds of nations and since the War, child welfare had got deeper and deeper into the con- sciousness of the nations. "Of all I really, the nations," he said, must take off my hat to the Anglo Saxon races. They certainly have a high ideal of manhood and child hood and we have much to learn from the Anglo Saxon Countries,

The desire for child welfare is now gradually spreading to China, said the speaker, why said that he aw the beginning of it in many directions.

President Roosevelt is a strong advocate of Rule Number Six, the mystery instruction of the Ameri- can diplomatic service. The rule was introduced by the late Dwight Morrow. He borrowed it, how During the war Mr. Morrow was ever, from a British general, adviser to the Allied Maritime Council, composed of a general, & French admiral, and other Allied representatives.

Mr. Tomes re-visited Hongkong it 1030, accompanied by his wife, who is a sister of Mr. H. R. B Hancock of Hongkong, and who, together with his sons and daugh ters survive him to mourn his loss. 'o them the sympathy of Mr. Tomes' friends in Hongkong is ex- tended.

But the wife's ground for ' divorce, which is reported to be that Mr. Hardy "indulges in ex- cessive gambling and that he has slapped his sister-in-law," sounds a little unreasonable on somebody's part. What does Mr. Hardy's sis ter-in-law expect from one of the most brilliant exponents of "slap- stick comedy" that the Hollywood tradition has yet evolved! Slap- ping and getting slapped must be second nature to Mr. Hardy by this time; does Mr. Hardy's mister in-law expect to be stroked and patted by one who has survived (and distributed) more assaults than the Old Guard at Waterloo!

Besides, there gro“ earnest ad- mirers of the films who would re- gard it as a positive honour and compliment to be slapped by Mr. Hardy. Mr. Hardy's sister-in-law seems to be unworthy of the high distinction which has befallen her. She deserves to be slapped again, slapped harder, and, above all things, slapped by some ignomini- ous and anonymous amateur.
