This habit of inattentive listening, it is not rash to hazard, is fairly widespread, and, indeed, is probably common to most families. How many people sit down and give their whole attention to what is being Bald? Is it not true to say that there are those who try to read and listen at the same time; that a visitor or

member of the family may interject a remark that destroys the whole thread, or, again, that the wireless pro- gramme may be no more than a background to the family routine and chatter?

Under auch conditions wholly wrong impression may be gained of a bulletin, and it no doubt explains why there are so many versions of what is heard on the wireless. Actu- ally to listen to the spoken word and pass on a correct version is far from easy, as many men are

It will not, in the opinion of those best qualified to judge, be the end of the Anglican commu- nion in Japan. Eighty years of devoted missionary effort have gone to the building of the Japa nese Church, and the mission- aries have assiduously trained its Japanese members in responsi- billty. The Church will suffer considerably, but there is always the hope that exclusively native leadership will arouse the pat riotism of its members and develop a healthy, all-Japanese branch of the world-wide Anglf- can communion.

Against this hope there must

HITLER'S BILL TO FRANCE

The German Government bad fixed this figure at 20,000,000 reichsmarks a day. This is the figure which under the terms of tho armistice France has to pay. Irrespective of any demands by Italy or of what repara - tions Hitler may consider in

The "Smellies" Arrive

When the "talk- les" first came

how nice it would be to hear the eggs and bacon sizzling from the screen in one of those wide-open Westerns. Then someone sug. gested that the next stage would be the "smellies.' Then, it was said; we would be able to enjoy the aroma of the breakfast as well.

The idea was ingeniously exploited by Aldous Huxley in his novel, "Brave New World." Huxley, in fact, wont even one stage, further, and in his world of to-morrow there are also "feclles," where you felt the sensations depicted on the screen and received quite a blow if an actor hit another,

While "Teclles" are yet a fancy, "amellia" have arrived. It happened in Switzerland, of all places. There was a characteristic background of pastures and raquntains, and while you watched the blonde lovers on the screen your nostrila were tickled by the delicate fragrance of new- mown hoy.
