YPRES DAY

Memorial Parade In London

The annual Ypres Day memorial parade and service was held on Horse Guards Parade, states the "Times." After the service the parade, with a band at its head, marched to the Cenotaph, where the Dowager Lady Plumer, in place of Princess Beatrice, who was in- disposed by a cold, laid a wreath on behalf of the Ypres `League.

The first delegation from the British Association, under its new scheme for scientiñe co-operation throughout the Empire, will leave England for India on Nov. 26. It will consist of 80. leading scien- tists, representing every branch of science.

They will attend the jubilee the Indian Science meeting of Congress Association in Calcutta Lord Ruther- from Jan. 3 to 0. ford will be president of the con- gress, which nearly 40 representa- tives of other countries will attend. The party will leave in the P. and O. liner Cathay, arriving at Bom- bay on Dec. 16. A tour through Northern India, with visits to Hyderabad, Agra, Delhi, Dehra Dun, Benares, and other places, has been arranged. Calcutta will be reached on Dec. 29.

The wreath was carried from Horse Guards Parade by four holders of the Victoria Cross Lieutenant Michael O'Leary, Lieut. W. E Boulter, Sergeant O. Brooks, and Corporal A. Wilcox Later they bore a smaller wreath to the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. That also was laid by Lady Plumer, and an ad- dress was given by Canon V. F. Storr, Sub-Dean of Westminster.

On Horse Guards Parade a square was formed by contingents of the Ypres League and the Old Con- temptibles' Associations. These men, who fought in France and Belgium in 1914, all wore their medals, which made an inspiring display on a still morning of mellow

The parade was completed by the Officers' Training Corps of the City of London School, the band of the First Surrey Rifles, and the pipers and buglers of the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards.

ALLIES' REPRESENTATIVES Some steps, on which was draped 3 Union Jack, in the middle of the square formed a pulpit from which the Rev. Dr. Joseph Lynn, Hon. Chaplain to the King and Deputy Chaplain-General to the Forces, conducted the" service. Opposite him were the four V.C.s holding their wreath and three representa- tives in uniform of the American Legion of Ex-Service Men. Near them stood the Belgian Ambassa dor and representatives of the French, American. Italian, and Portuguese Embassies, and of the Dominions and Colonies. General Sir Hubert Gough, the vice-pre- sident, and Lieut.-General Sir Wil- liam Pulteney represented the Ypres League. .and the contingent of the Old Contemptibles was com- manded by Lord Carlsbrooke. The service included the hymns "O Vallant Hearts" and "O God, our help in Ages Past."

Dr. Lynn said the Ypres League stood first and foremost for loyalty to the Crown, a quality which was never more necessary than it was to-day.'

WEDDING MARCH

IN WAR TUNE

While the undeclared Japanese war upon China has been bringing disaster to untold thousands of Individuals. andi familles, it has at the same time brought about "cheaper" weddings for many of China's young men and women of marriageable age.

Days were when prospective per- fect marriages in China went un- realized because of disagreement in the course of the arguing, bar-

tion of an incident in which the Japanese penned about 300 civilians -children among them--into a street and then turned machine guns on them.

HER WORRY

She tells one story about an old Chinese woman which would be funny if it didn't have a strongly. tragic side to it. The woman was injured when the Japanese bombed the South Station and one of her legs had to be amputated. When she recovered consciousness she cried so bitterly and long for her leg that the doctor in a desperate effort to quiet her, brought in the limb and showed her that it had been impossible to save it. Only then did he discover that what she wanted was not the leg but her savings (about 30 Chinese dollars) hidden in the stocking! She got them--and was context.

PROFITEERS

Like other wars, this one is not without its profiteers. Another missionary bound for Shanghai was diverted to Hong Kong, and when she arrived there she found that she had to pay 12s a day for the doubtful privilege of sleeping with many other refugees in a bailroom!

NEW RADIO “EYE"

FOR PILOTS

They Can Land Without

Looking."

A device claimed to enable air- craft to land with absolute safety In 2 blinding snowstorm or the thickest of fogs is shortly to be installed experimentally at four of America's chief airports, writes a New York correspondent. "

It is a new radio beam' known as the "radio glide path," and is the result of seven years' research by Government experts.

The plot picks up the ordinary radio beam of the airport, which defines his approach to where he Is to land. As he nears the air- port he crosses a series of radio beams which indicate to him his distance from the aerodrome. At the edge of the airport he picks. up the new "radio glide path."

This is an ingenious line of wireless signals which curves downwards like a string from a kite and flattens out on the sur- face of the runway. Following it. the pilot can feel the wheels of his

machine touch the ground although it may be invisible to

him.

The "glide path" signals can be received by the pilot either visu- ally on his instrument board or through earphones, or both.

With the promotion of the "New Life Movement" by Generalissima and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, weddings were placed for the first time in China's forty centuries of history upon a real "safe and sane" basis. No pride was lost but lots of good money saved, for young couples, even those from socialite tamilies, have since then been able to have their marriages solemnized at "mass weddings" sponsored by provincial governors and mayors all over China, The
