Since the Forties, when British trains were already running at sixty miles an hour, the advance has been almost wholly in the direction of great power.

THE AUTHOR OF "SWEET

ALOES"

Mr. Darlington's offer to bet that Jay Mallory, author of "Sweet Aloes," was a woman has been swiftly justified.

It is now revealed that the play was written by Joyce Carey, the actress.

The secret had been extremely well kept. Since Miss Carey is play- ing a part in her own play, quite

Miss Carey's wish that her first play should be received on its own merits, and not on the strength of her reputation as an actress and her position as Lilian Braithwaite's Previously Sir Austen Chamber-daughter, was very loyally obser- lain, speaking as a member of the

"UP KILLIK”. The decorative invitation card to the Guildhall Banquet is more than

a fine example of modern printing. It also contains some in- genious heraldic allusions.

Sir Stephen Killik's arms at the foot bear the matto "Up Killik.”- This is a pun on the new: Lord Mayor's surname, which is Élso an archale word for anchor..

The old command for putting to sea was "Up Kilk." It is peculiar ly appropriate to a Lord Mayor about to embark on his arduous year's voyage..

A symbolic significance also at- taches to the border of oak leaves and acorns round the City arms. These typify the strength and sturdy growth of the City of Lon- con.

· HOPEFUL PORTENTS - Meanwhile, there is some ques- tion as to whether the retiring Lord Mayor (Sir Charles Collett) will be well enough to be present at the Lord Mayor's banquet on Nov. 9, when Sir Stephen Klik is Installed.

Sir Charles has been ill indeed, and his final decision has not yet been made....

Now that the secret is out, Miss Carey must be congratulated on the successful start of Jay Mallory's

ONE MAN'S MEAT

The Western Australian petition for secession from the Common- wealth has been presented to Mr. J. H. Thomas.

On the same day as that State was endeavouring to cut loose from Its local unit of the Empire, Bouth- West Africa secured the means of achieving its aim of becoming a member of the Upton of South Africa.

The United (non-German) party has obtained a two-thirds majority in the local Assembly. This will enable the former German colony to change its constitution and join the Union.

B.B.C. STAFF DOSSIER? Sir John Reith, who is returning, this month.from his visit to South Africa, himself originated the idea of collecting the photographs of his staff in the official files at Broadcasting House. The subjects are now busy speculating as to the reason.

Sir John is anxious to have pho- ographs of those pioneers who have been with the B.B.C. for at least ten years.

But the theory that this is the sole reason is upset by the fact that the edict applies also to recent ar- rivals at headquarters.

The mystery, is deepened by the fact that photographs only and no biographical details are required.

This staff dossier is, therefore, somewhat incomplète.
