NICE.

MR. E. BERRY WALL, American Beau Brummell who never drank anything but champagne, died in a Monte Carlo, hotel, and gave away a secret.

His death led to the disclosure of his age, which he had kept from his closest friends. He was seventy-nine.

He always dressed faultlenly in the fashion of the 1890's, with a high collar and stock, lavender waistcoat, and spats.

France was his home by choice...He lived in the best hotels, where he gave zump. tuous dinners to famous men and women, and was frequently host to royalty.

One of his lost dinners was for Mr. Hore-Belisha, during the ex-War Minister's re- cent visit to the Riviera.

For years Mr. Wall regularly visited racecourses in France and England — accompanied by his dog, a magnificent chow.

always

His wife, who died a few years ago, was a great charitable worker and was instru mental in founding the "Phare de France," for war-blinded French soldiers.

Last September, when many Americans returned home from Europe on the advice of their Government, Mr. Wall refused to leave France. He said: "Here I've lived and here I'll die."

Worley, at the Legislative Council recently in introducing the Compulsory Service (Local Forces) Bill, which was later taken through all stages on a certificate of urgency and passed.

He went on to say that a way in which the people of the Colony could assist was by taking a greater share in Its defence while maintaining its economic contribution to the resources of the Empire, and the purpose of the Bill was to provide the machinery by which the Government LAST 4 TIMES TO DAY could organize the man-power available for the purpose.
