of the youthful great.
1895. At the Union, Mr. J. A. Simon (Wadham) might have been "slightly more impassioned.”
1899. Mr. W. Temple (Balliol) denounced Disestablishment "with characteristic intolerance."
That the future Archbishop of York was no mean figure is shown by the "Isis's" reference to him as "mens sana in corpore vasto,"
"DEBT OF PLATITUDE" Lord Wolmer's activities at the Union, at which he held ofice, drew a plaintive query from the debates reporter in 1908.
Why does the President allow him to swear so horribly?
Mr. A. P. Herbert made in 1913 "one of the most brilliant speeches heard at the Union for a long time."
Of Mr. Lesile Hore-Belisha just after the war it was written:

Socially, he is gifted with courtly solemnity. which, combined with an inexhaustible fund of tolerable stories and the grand manner of the raconteur, carries him with success through the most intricate social complications.
Mr. Beverley Nichols. debating at the same period with the then Dean of St. Paul's remarked that there were "few men to whom we owe a heavier debt of platitude than Dr. Inge."
DEATH OF DR. J. „A. VOELCKER

SHAW SPEAKS UP
FOR DUKE
American Trip "Would" Have Been Useful”
Mr. Bernard Shaw, commenting on Sheriff Robertson's speech to Glasgow journalists in which he suggested that the press, should cease to publish news about the Duke of Windsor, writes in the "Forward":—
"The notion of the ex-King of England vanishing from the news as a private person is not workable unless Edward proves a genuine nonentity, which is hardly con- sistent with his abdication
"It is a great pity that his American trip got mixed up with Mr. Bedaux and his rationalisations and had to be abandoned.
"It would have been enormously useful to us, both diplomatically and commercially, and the sooner It is revived under auspices con- genial to American labour the bet- ter."

BARRIE BOOKS FOR SALE
;
When Sir. James Barrie died he left a valuable collection of books and manuscripts. A large number of them are to be sold at Botheby's shortly by order of his executora.
The most interesting manuscripts are parts of "Quality Street," "Shall We Join The Ladies?" and "Peter and Wendy," the Chinese translations of some of Barrie's plays, and a number of letters from Robert Louis Stevenson, discussing their respective works,
-Pan
There is a Shelley which belong- ed to Thomas Hardy and was given to Barrie after his death, and an- other
treasured
posession of Hardy's "The Boy's Own Book. A Complete Encyclopaedia of all the Diversions of Boyhood and Youth." Hardy, as a boy of twelve, coveted this book for months, in a Dorches- ter book-seller's window. He was finally able to buy it with some pennies which, in defiance of parental orders he accepted from the guests at a wedding feast where he was one of the musicians,
WEDDING GUESTS
TWICE
the
Guests assembled for the second time for the wedding of a Roches ter couple, Miss Doris Ena French and Mr. William Edward Filmer, who were married at a Rochester church recently.
A month previous Miss French had dressed in her wedding gown, only to learn at the last minute that her fiance was missing. The guests had to be sent away.
DELICATE COMPASSES "Since then I have been travell- ing around the world, bringing the compass variations on the charts up-to date. I have special instruments with delicate com- passes to determine the magnetic and true meridians, and at each Toint I check up the variation that has occurred since the last time a reading was taken. In some places I have found considerable changes, but at others there has not been so much. Variations on this trip were comparatively slight"
Mr. Parkinson said that the layer of atmosphere around the earth that conducted radio signair brought about the changes. The changes by day were accounted for but the changes that occurred over the years still were the subjects of investigation.
For 23 years he has been travell- ing round the world, and has visit- ed North and South America, Africa, Arabia, Europe, Japan, and twice he has been around the Pacific.
He was aboard the rion-magnetic vessel Carnegie when it was des- troyed at Samoa in 1929, follow- ing a fre. Great Britain secured specifications for a similar vessel to carry on the work of the Car- negie Corporation.
