In moving that the bistorical and architectural monuments of London are matters of national and not solely municipal interest and should be so regarded, Lord Rennell is affirming a principal followed in other countries.

I do not think that either Signor Mussolini

Doumergue would take a similar view to that of Mr. Baldwin, who stated in the House of Commons that the ques tion of the competency of the London County Council as the bridges authority in their own

area was not his business...

The French Government exer- rises control over practically all municipal matters in Paris through the Prefect of the Seine One of The Duce's major Interests is the beautifying of Rome,

He was greeted by the Head- master, Mr. P. H. B. Lyon, and lunched in Hall with the Head and the 85 boys of School House, att- ting at the High Table in the oak- panelled room,

In School Close the Prince saw a memorial plaque to Wedd Ells, the Rugby schoolboy who by picking up the ball and running with 1t during a football match intro- duced the game of Rugby football to the world.

The Prince went into the study orice occupied by Dr. Hughes, the author of "Tom Brown's School- days."

A question that often occurs to eager spectators at the Wimbledon lawn tennis championships is how does one become an umpire and so get so good: a view of the game?
