For the beneЛl of auch Inquir ing souls, he adds a few of the more common words in the thief'a vocabulary, together with their English equivalents.

Thus, to "hike" does not mean to go for a walking tour in shorta with a ruck-sack on one's back, bul to carry stolen property. Houses and flats are referred to as "drums," and poller-informers are "snouts," variously deser.bed as "noses," or "narky."

A large area of Derbyshire in al- ready hooting and roaring its way to Health. People whose moutha have gone down with the Stock Exchange are being led, rigele by giggle, into this uproarious Utopia. and the world laughs "Laugh. with you." The vicar has launch- ed a movement which may change the face of the country; and, by heck! it could do with a change.

Humour Wanted,

The essential point is that the supply of humour must be maiu- tained. It was the cow jumping over the moon which made the little dog laugh and the crockery elope. In other words, we must have some. thing to laugh at.

If only one could induce income tax collectors to make a point of coal-holes, or Mr. falling down George Robey to stand for Parlia ment, or Oxford to win the Bost Race, the problem would be solved.
