and the brightest spot in matter: is that the numbers are continuing to fall at a steady rate. However, they include only the workers whose wages are within

They include clerks in business houses who have been accustomed to earn 4 few hundred pounds a year, men who have held important administrative positions with salaries ranging up to £4,000 a year, skilled specialists sich

It may be objected that suchi persons ought to have made their ewn provision against a rainy day. But this overlooks the fact that the value of invested savings, during the trade slump has often been reduced by 50 or 70 or 80 per cent., or, even altogether destroyed. Moreover in Great Britain this class the middle class is required to pay heavy taxes out of which free education, free medical ser- vices, and unemployment benents are provided for the poor, but it gets none of these advantages for its own members.

Mr. Huang recalled that when the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen pro- ceeded to Peiping in 1924, his in- tention was not only to overthrow dictators such as Marshals Wu Pel Fu and Tsao Kun but to pre- vent the revival of dictatorship.

It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow and regret that I have to announce the un- Llinely death of Mrs. Marina, beloved and recent wife of Dr. Aufgang. The cause of this tragedy is not yet known, but It was almost certainly aggra- vated by the recent Royal Be- trothal of a princess of uncon veniently similar name.

The funeral was simple, and as dull as even the deceased could have wished. On her tomb was inscribed:-
