During the War, Capt. Blard, whose book," Wings," appears next weet, was a flying instructor at Hendon...
One afternoon he was asked if he would mind taking a passenger for a joy-ride, since all the star pilots were on military service, and they did not like to trust the visitor to a norice.
The passenger, who turned out to be Mr. Bernard Shaw, was taken up, treated to a few stunts, and shown what a plane could do in the way of speed.
Mr. Shaw commented on this as he alighted, remarking, “The world is like that, young man!" and presented the plot with ten shill-

LATE NIGHT
CABLES
The following cables were re- ceived last night by the American Oriental Finance Corporation and S. E. Levy & Co.
* London Forecast
The full effect of "yesterday's election resuits is likely to be felt at to-day's session on 'Wall Street. A further improvement in the commodity markets is looked for and cotton may also react favour- ably, although the market will Probably open with a pre-bureau-
report aspect.
A.O.F.C. New York Cables Stocks: The opening was slight- ly higher with good volume on
inflation psychology.
Cotton: The opening was mo- derately active with some selling on rumour of next year's acreage plans.
S.E. Levy & Co.'s Cables
The following cabled reports were furnished by Messrs. 9. E. Levy and Company last night:-.
Favourable factors prior to the opening of the markets:-1. Yes- an in- terday's sizeable rally on creased volume of trading, coupled
the with
strength of leading staples is bolstering sentiment; 2. Some Commission Houses have. reported good buying from abroad; 3. Steel activity in the Chicago area is estimated at 30 per cent. of capacity.
Unfavourable factors:-1. The political developments in France; 2. Unsettlement of the price situa-. tion in the oil industry.
London Forecast 10.40 P.M.``
The full effect of yesterday's Election results is likely to be felt at to-day's session on Wall Street. A further improvement in the commodity markets is looked for and Cotton may also react favoRT- ably although the market will probably open with a pre-Bureau. aspect.:
The "Tron Age" reparts steel production at 26.5 per cent. of capacity against 26 per cent. the previous week While no specta- cular gains are likely for the balance of the year, a steady and perhaps accelerating upward trend is expected.

London, Oct 17. The author has no opinion of politicians, echoing Mr. Jorrockg's "What's a M.P. to a M.F.H? ***
For Instance, of the great **Squire." Chaplin he writes:

A somewhat exaggerated view of the longevity induced by hunting, for the late Lord Chaplin would now be 94.
Lord Londonderry's fall from } grace is similarly frowned upon:::
