Dr. Rustern Vambery, formerly Professor of Criminology Budapest, who spoke at Friends' House at a meeting of the Friends' Service Council on the sociológical fallacy of the race theory, is a don of the famous traveller and writer-4 Dr. Arminius Vambery, and be-

Dr. Vambery dealt mainly wita, the scientific fallacies of

the theory, speaking with considerable zest and humour. He said that as applied to human aggregates the 'word' race 'was almost devold of

biological meaning, but it seemed extremely difficult to remove it from popular use, particularly since certain developments of political theory had tended to admit im plications of a psychological and cultural character transcending any biological defluition.

King: "The Last Of Mrs.

Cheqney."

The essential point of the so- -called racial theory which had been invented by Count Gobineau, a French poet, in the Ritles of the last century, was the essential su- periority of one race and the in- feriority of others. It was pro- fessor Max Muller who introduced the unfortunate term Aryan into current usage. He spoke not only of an Aryan' language but also of an Aryan race. Thirty years later, convinced of his error he wrote in his blography of words, "I have de- clared again and again that when I say Aryans I mean simply those who speak an Aryan language. To me an anthropologist who speaks of Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan hair, is as great a sinner as a lord, Wiliam Powel and Robert linguist who speaks of a Doll-

chocephalic dictionary."

MAID OF SALEM

The famous witchcraft scare of 1692 which broke out in Salem and swept the seaboard, colonies leaving death, horror and fear in its wake, is the basis of "Maid of Salem," a' gripping romance with Cluadette Colbert and Fred Mac- Murray, which begins to-day at the Queen's, and Alhambra Theatres,
