INTERESTING FIGURES

la

That twins are more numerous In familles Hving in cold climates was the theory advanced by Mrs. Shaw, Unionist M.P. for Bothwell,

Committee which the considering the Housing (Scot- land) Bill It was during a dis cussion regarding children sleep- ing in the bedrooms of their parents or guardians,

"The further north people live," nald Mrs. Shaw, "the more chance they have of adding twins to their family. In Norway one in 37 births is of twins, in Swedon one In G4, and in Scotland one in 66,"

Mrs. Shaw had moved an amend ment providing that, In compuliag the tumber of persons sleeping in

house, no account should be taken of two children ander five years instead of, as in the Bill, any child under one year. She said that many years must elapse before the single apartment house could be eliminated. It was a great mis take to overlook the possibility of the birth of twins.

The Lord Advocate, Mr. W. G. Norman, said that under the clause no real difficulty would arise in the case of twins. The amend menit, he added, would allow a lower standard and 11 higher tensity of overcrowding in Scot Innd than in England over the next 40 or 50 years, and that would be diffleult, to justify.'

Miss Horsbrugh (U., Dandee) supported the amendment. She questioned whether children of two or three 'should be nilowed to sleep by themselves, in any case.

IMAGINARY TERRORS

Mr. James Maxton (LP. Bridgeton) said lie was horrified I at "special pleading" for the one- apartment house. The most in- telligent young mothers had mude a close study of these matters, and attached great importance to pure air, day and night, for their chil

A calendar has been Issued by the Travel Association to show how the Jubilee is by no means Ilmited Lo a few official dates of thanke- giving observances and ceremonies, but spreads right through the English season from the present month to September. It is really a remarkable list, for all the big Axtures of the year in Art, Music, the Drama and Sport, quile apart front the special events of the Jubilee, will enjoy this year ni extra prestige.

The number of foreign visitors. is expected greatly to exceed the four hundred thousand who came last year. From the beginning of next month there will be cheap fares for parties of twenty-four and over travelling from the Con- tinent; and for the benefit of all Overseas visitors circular tours at reduced fans have been arranged. covering rail, muter, and sleamer travel in all parts of Kugland, Scot- land, and Wales, with reserved ac commodation at hotela.

The Britlih railways are extend- inst. in fret, to Overseas visitors a special invitation to "see Britain by rail Extensive improvements, they are pointing out to them, have recently been made in the services, and at their disposal are all the railway organisations, in- cluding seventy-nine hotels, 666 restaurant cars, and more than 43,000 passenger cars, and they Buggest that every coming visitor ghould tour the Homeland before he returns and see for himself in this Jubilee year the benutles of the heart of the Empire."

For visitors from the country to the London celebrations, and for those going to the celebrations in the provinces, the ordinary ehenp fares programme is to be supple- mented, we are informed, "by liberal programmes of special trains at excursion_fares."
