REVISED PRICES OWING TO HIGH EXCHANCE

A statement issued in reference to the estimates of the Air Ministry shows a reduction ci £12,000,000. The revised figures are £54,000,000 against the March forecast of £86.500,000. Amongst the causes of reduction is the redaction of the Air Force to a peace footing. The maximum establish ment this year, exclusive of India, 150.00), would be 'reduced by March IC $3,000. An accompanying memorandum emphasises that a large proportion of the 1919-1920 estimates were due to charges arising from the war for which no pro- vision would be required normally.

GENERAL NEWS.

"It is impossible to co-operate with him in any direction what- soever," say the Acton teachers in petitions to the local Education Committee against the continued presence in their midst of Mr. C. H Fett, assistant teacher at Acton Wells School, who's a con- scientious objector. A Special In- uiry Committee was called to re- consider Mr. Pett's case, and it was moved that his resignation be accepted. The Socialist mem- bers, however, by a majority o one, succeeded in adjourning the case for a fortnight. In the meantime the Education Com- mittee will meet, and there will be a great storm.

The fact that a man was severa- ly wounded in battle did not necessarily make him a hero, said Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter, at the dinner of the "Association of Certificated Blind Masseurs at the Holborn Kestaurant. A man's heroism was proved afterwards by the manner in which he set himself to surmount the terrible handicap imposed on him. In the best sense, all these men were heroes. Of the company 35 were blind soldier masseurs who had been trained at St. Dunstans and the National Institute for the Blind. Since the war a tremend- oua impetus has been given to massage 23 an" occupation for blind people of both sexes-
