SUNDAY. JUNE 26, 1938. DUCHKS-S OF ATHOLL SPANISH GOVERNMENT THREATENS BOMBING REPRISALS SUGGESTIONS OF RETALIATION ON ITALIAN AND GERMAN CITIES DENIEJ) PARIS, Saturday. The Spanish Government has informed France of its intention of revoking its pledge to refrain from bombing Spanish Nationalist cities and is informing Britain of this decision. A Paris Embassy spokesman stated that whenever Nationalists bombed Government cities, the Republicans would bomb their ports and air force centres. According to the Sunday Times correspondent. Foreign Minister Bonnet urged upon the Spanish Ambassador the need for prudence, suggesting that the raids be confined to the mainland and the Balearic Islands The Embassy denied rumours that the Republicans threatened to bomb Italian and German cities. Retaliation is likely to be directed against the seaplane bases of Palma and Carlos de la Ratita also Tortosa and the ports of Vinaroz, Castellan, Malaga, Algeciras, Cadiz and Ceuta. The Italian press, referring to reprisal's, declares Italy and Germany will reply to such action with guns not words. Forty persons were killed and about 150 injured when Nationalist squadrons bombed Alicante. NEWS FROM THE DOMINION Busy Grain Season M O N T R E A L.—Montreal is sharing with Sorel, Three Rive) s and Quebec, one of the best grain exporting seasons that the St. Lawrence has seen in some years. Over fifty-million bushels of grain have so far been exported with the season ;«bout a third gone. If the present rate of exporting is maintained the St. Lawrence this year would ship about one hundred and sixty-five million bushels. QUEBE G.—Many thousands from all parts of Canada thronged the streets of Quebec for the closing sessions yesterday and to.'day of the National Eucharistic Congress, ranked as one of the greatest events in the history of the city. It is estimated that during the past few days the population of the ancient capital has been doubled. BRISK WALL STREET TRADING NEW YORK, Saturday. The sharp advance continued on • Wall Street alter a slo^v opening. A buying rush caused gains up to three dollars over Friday's closing prices and, according to the Sunday limes, the demand for steels, following an assurance of no wage reduction, spread throughout all sections. Over one million shares were traded in the two-hour session and the ticker was sometimes several minutes behind the floor.

JAP ATTITUDE TO NEW DELHI TO BE FOREIGNERS GREAT CAPITAL SHANGHAI, Saturday. Amplifying yesterday's statement regarding the extraterritorial rights of foreigners, a Japanese Embassy spokesman said Japanese, Chinese and third party nationals were all subject to Japanese military law. In cases not affecting military activities third power, nationals would generally be handed over to their own authorities if they enjoyed extraterritoriality, bu| no special status would be accorded to those who prejudiced military operations. Four gunmen fatally .wotmded a rice merchant Kooshingyi, a leading member of the Japanese-sponsored Shanghai Citizens Association. The attack occurred in the French Concession and the assailants escaped. Chinese bombers claim to have sunk two Japanese gunboats on the Yangtse above Anking, successfully eluding Japanese pursuit planes after the attack. AMERICAN FOREIGN POLIO REVIEWED MIDHURST, Sussex. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, reviewing the American attitude to foreign affairs, asserted that public opinion was coming round to the support of vState Secretary Hull in urging the nation to take a lead in organising jthe world for peace and international law enforcement. He thought the Neutrality Act, which interfered with American sympathy for European happenings, would probably disappear next Congressional session. Referring to the proposed Anglo- American trade pact, he said if the two nations could agree they were advancing on a constructive path, because others would gladly follow- to receive the resulting benefits. DUBLIN.-Doctor Douglas Hyde was installed first President of Eire in the historic Dublin Castle banqueting hall. He signed the declaration of office in the presence of vSiate Council members, Premier De Valera, judiciary members and the diplomatic corps. The proceedings were conducted in Erse and occupied seven minutes, followed by a fanfare and the national anthem. The castle fired a twenty-one guns salute and the President drove through enthusiastic crowds to his official residence in Phoenix Park. The State reception at Dublin Castle concluded the clay's celebrations. Plans for Housing Greatly Increased Population NEW DELHI.—The anticipated sudden growth of the Imperial Capital in connection with the probable introduction of Federation in 1940, and the intention of the Government to remain here throughout the summer, instead of moving to Simla, has led to a scheme for the provision of tens of thousands of small houses, to be acquired by hire purchase. The population of Old and New Delhi is about 450,000, and the establishment of a Federal Parliament will inevitably mean an influx of many influential British Indian and Indian States representatives. They will bring personnel with them and their arrival will necessitate an increase in the personnel of the Government of India. INFLUX OF LAWYERS Another fillip to development is the creation of the Federal Court. Many eminent lawyers from all over India have enrolled themselves, and the mere fact taat it will function in Delhi is bound to draw a number of wealthy lawyers and litigants to the capital. A village, to the south of New Delhi, which was originally designed as a colony for labourers working in the new capital area, is rapidly changing its character and may become a residential suburb. About three quarters of a million square yards of land is believed to have been bought by the building corporation and operations are expected to begin this summer.—Reuter. PETROL FROM GROUND-NUTS NANCY.—Experiments in producing petrol and oil from nuts and vegetable matter have been carried out with considerable success by a young scientist working in the French Sudan at Segou on the upper Reaches of the River Niger, it is claimed. The spirit is made from such vegetables as ground-nuts, cotton leaves and nuts from the cabbage-tree. M. Roger Francois, attached to the chemical faculty of Nancy and head of the Government's experimental station at Segou, has made a trip of 300 miles in a standard make of car using the spirit produced at the station. Carbonisation of oleaginous vegetable matter such as the nut of the cabbage- tree produces as much as 33 gallons of petrol per ton treated, while there is also a quantity of heavy oil produced which can be used by lorries. The object of these experiments has been to discover whether it would be possible for France's Western and Central African colonies to produce their own motor fuel in the event of war. It is thought that a stage has now been reached where mass production from vegetable matter could begin.—-Reuter.

Goldsmiths for a Century MACKAY & CHISHOLM L" GOLDSMITHS & SILVERSMITHS TO H.M. QUEEN MARY 59, PRINCES STREET, EDINBURGH ■■-- ABERDEEN.—The United States Ambassador and a deputation of bishops of the American Episcopal Church will attend the dedication in St. Andrew's Cathedral here, on September 6, of a memorial to Dr. Samuel Seabury, the first American Episcopal Bishop. The funds for the memorial, which consists of extensions to the Cathedral, have been raised by American Episcopalians. After the close of the American Revolution the Episcopal clergy in Connecticut met in 1783 and elected Dr. Seabury, an American citizen, to be their Bishop. Up to that time America had been regarded as part of the diocese of London. Dr. Seabury was sent to London to the Archbishop of Canterfury for consecration. A condition of his consecration was the taking of an oath of allegiance to King George the Third which, of course, he could not take. He was kept waiting by the Church of England for nearly a year and a half until he turned his steps to Scotland and on November 14, 1784, was consecrated in Aberdeen by three Scottish bishops. PROPOSED NEW CATHEDRAL The first proposal of a memorial to Bishop Seabury was to purchase a site on the proposed new city square in Aberdeen on which to erect a cathedral at a cost of one million dollars. In 1926, Dr. F. L. Deane, Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney, and Provost Erskine Hill visited America and the proposed memorial received enthusiastic support. They returned to America in the autumn of 1929 but their arrival synchronised with the Wall Street crash, and the plan for a memorial cathedral was abandoned in 1930. It was then decided by the American Committee and the authorities of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Aberdeen, to use the funds already subscribed for extending and adorning St. Andrew's Cathedral. EDINBURGH.—Around the statue, in the courtyard of the Assembly Hall here, of John Knox, who in his time deplored the growing influence of women, delegates from many parts of the world to the International Council of Women's Conference will meet for morning coffee parties. It is 380 years since the Scottish reformer, seeing European politics dominated by Mary Tudor, Catherine de Medici and Mary pf Guise, issued a tract, entitled, " The First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women." Women from 36 nations will confer at the council meetings in the Assembly Hall from July 11 to 22, and on July 18 the Duchess of Kent will be hostess at a garden party given by the Scottish office to the delegates, at Holyroodhouse. RECEIVED BY QUEEN VICTORIA The last occasion upon which the International Council of Women met in Great Britain was in 1899, when Queen Victoria received the delegates who attended meetings in London. A special train took them to Windsor, where the Queen drove among them in her carriage. Lady Aberdeen, was present on that occasion and has played a prominent part in the work of the Council in the last thirty years. SCHOOL FOR ARMY DRIVERS BOVINGTON CAMP.—In marked contrast to the prepared floor of the pre-war riding schools, is the training ground here for men of the mechanised cavalry of the British Army.

It will be on view there for six months. It was bought by the sixth Duke at Smyrna in 1838, from a dealer who alleged that it had been found at Salamis in Cyprus. The head was shown at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1904, and recently at the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge, but has never before been exhibited publicly in London. This head of Apollo comes from a statue made about 460 B.C., approximately the same date as the sculptures of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia and almost a generation before those of the Parthenon. It is a bronze casting made by the sand-box process. The curls of hair (which are fastened on with copper pins) and the ears are solid, and were perhaps made from wax models. The eyes are now lost, but were doubtless made of marble or glass, like those of the Delphic Charioteer, a work some 10 years earlier than this.

At this establishment, known as the I Armoured Fighting Vehicles School, men are trained in manoeuvring and maintaining their machines, the course being divided between field work and theoretical instruction in classrooms. j Last year 2,000 recruits were put through I the driving and maintenance tests. F.E.1 CANADIAN PACIFIC GAZETTE Britain in July—Social Events and Pageants EVENING PARTY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE- LORD'S AND GOODWOOD HIGH Summer, with its garden parties and receptions, dainty summer dresses and gay parasols flitting among flower gardens and trimly-cut lawns, reveals Britain at its most British. The season is far from over, but it has taken on a more alfresco note. Chief among the indoor functions are Their Majesties' Courts, which will be held on July 6 and 9, and an evening presentation party on July 12, at Buckingham Palace. The party will be one of two which have been arranged in view of the large number of presentations which had to be held over from Coronation year. The courts are being confined to presentations of unmarried girls, and the presentations at the evening parties will constitute for married ladies presentation at Court. These parties represent a new note in Court etiquette, the formality of receiving the guests is being dispensed with, and the King and Queen will spend their time walking among the company and talking to their guests. No dais will be installed and there will be no curtseys as at the courts. The number of State officials in attendance will be limited, and the guests will be accompanied by their husbands. , By ten o'clock the company will have assembled in the ballroom. A band will play, and the King and Queen will walk through the suite of rooms. Varsity Cricket Match One of the first " Society " events of the month in London is the annual cricket fixture between Oxford and Cambridge Universities at Lord's. In previous years this match has always commenced on a Monday, but, in an effort to afford less leisured public an opportunity of seeing some of the play, it is to begin on Saturday July 2. The change is described by the M.C.C. as an experiment, and it is anticipated that there will be a reversion to the traditional practice if the Saturday attendance does not come up to expectations. On the same ground a week later (July 8 and 9) will be played the annual Eton v. Harrow match. This famous fixture between England's leading public schools serves as a meeting-place for a distinguished gathering. " Glorious Goodwood ' The Goodwrood race meeting (July 26 to 29) rivals Ascot as regards both its beautiful setting and its display of summer fashions. The course is situated amid glorious downland country on the South Downs, near Chichester, and " Glorious Goodwood " is renowned for its picnic parties. This meeting is often honoured by the presence of members of the Royal Family, and many local landowners, notably the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, of Goodwood House, are hosts to distinguished guests at house parties during the week. Horses from the finest English racing stables take part in the principal events, which include the Steward's Cup, Goodwood cup, Goodwood Stakes and Chesterfield Cup. The King and Queen are to attend a performance of the centenary pageant at Birmingham on July 14, which will rival that of Manchester at the beginning of the month, in which 10,000 are taking part. At Manchester, the prologue will take the form of a dance by 3,000 schoolchildren, representing the Spirits of Steam, Cotton and Electricity. Manchester's Pageant Subsequent episodes will dramatise the history of Manchester from the days when it was a Roman fort to the present time and, as the finale, all the performers will be grouped about the " Spirit of Manchester," who will be attended by representatives of the other Manchesters in Canada and the United States. The Birmingham pageant which employs 8,000 performers, delves deeper into the past than Manchester. It will open with the spectacle of great pre-historic monsters, forty feet long and fifteen feet high, roaming the arena. The epilogue will parade every outstanding personality connected with the history of the city, including Baskerville, the printer; Murdock, who discovered OVERSEAS VISITORS This being the first issue of your daily newspaper, we would like to explain that, in addition to containing the latest important news received on board by wireless, it also brings to your notice those who would like you to pay them a visit on reaching your destination.

AUSTRALIAN CRUISERS SYDNEY.—A contingent of Australian sailors is expected to sail from here in July for England to bring out H.M.S. Apollo, the first of the two cruisers purchased under the Commonwealth's new defence plan. The Australian sailors will sail in the seaplane-carrier H.M.A.S. Albatross, which has been offered as part payment for the two new cruisers. The crew to bring out the second of the cruisers will leave for England by merchant vessel in May next year.—Reuter. CHILDREN'S ZOO AT REGENT'S PARK Special Section of Animals that can be Petted LONDON.—The Children's Zoo, a special section of the Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park which has proved popular in recent years, has been enlarged this year and seven hostesses have been provided. A number of animals classified as pets, have been brought from Whipsnade to stock tha children's section. Among them are two baby llamas, two Shetland ponies, a baby yak, a baby nylghai antelope, and several wallabies. A reptiliary stocked with harmless snakes and lizards and an aquarium of tropical fish are to be new features. A larger number of sub-tropical sea fish are being exhibited in the main aquarium, some of the fresh water tanks having been converted for the purpose. New specimens have been obtained from Suez, Madeira and Florida. RUBBER FROM TOMATO SKINS MILAN.—After experimenting in his laboratory for six years, Dr. Mauri, a chemist of Parma, has produced an artificial rubber from tomato skins. The results of the experiments have received official recognition by the National Research Council. It is calculated that from 800,000 tons of tomatoes produced yearly in Italy it would be possible to obtain 2,000 tons of " rubber."

It was " I." "I am convinced/' he stated here, " that when most of Europe was covered by ice, aboriginals in Australia initiated self-expression, first by drawing, and then by speech." MELANESIAN WRITINGS Professor Tauber recently won international fame by deciphering the inscriptions on the images on Easter Island, after 15 years' study. He established that they were Melanesian writings, telling the history of the island. " The Melanesian peoples, who occupied all the islands of the Pacific and extended to Africa and America, brought the ' culture ' of the aborigines to Europe. Gradually this extended over the whole world, and developed independently, in different places, thus producing the. modern characteristics of nations. PICTURES BEFORE SPEECH " First the crude pictures of the aboriginal were brought to Europe. Paintings which have been found in southern France and Spain prove this by their similarity to the Australian article. " Then the aboriginal learned to speak. His first word was ' nge,' a sort of grunt, which meant ' I ' or ' man ' or * one.' Primitive navigation and primitive language developed about the same time, and from that, the languages of the world were built."—Reuter. IRON BANNED IN A SHIP Special Vessel for Magnetic Survey TEAK AND BRONZE DARTMOUTH, Devon.—Built largely of teak with fittings of bronze or other non-magnetic alloys, a vessel is being constructed here to carry out surveys in magnetic variation in all parts of the world. The vessel is the Royal research ship Research (850 tons), which has been ordered by the Admiralty. She will cruise mostly under sail, but will have an auxiliary motor, and sufficient fuel to give her a radius of 2,000 miles at a speed of six knots. Steel and iron, the chief building materials for most ships, will be rigidly banned and the anchor, cables and all the bolts will be of bronze. Even the cooking equipment must have no steel or iron in its composition. REPLACING THE CARNEGIE The Research, which will be the only non-magnetic vessel in the world, will replace the American ship Carnegie, which was destroyed by an explosion off Samoa in 1929 when engaged on magnetic survey work, and will continue research work from the point where it was left when the Carnegie met her end. With a specially picked crew of 31, including officers and scientific staff, the Research will sail next year for a cruise across the Seven Seas which will last for two and a half years. Her immediate task will be to visit certain positions in the South Indian Ocean and to re-determine the value of the earth's magnetism at those points. The earth's magnetism is not stationary, and its value is slowly but continuously changing. It is, therefore, of great importance to determine accurately the extent of these variations. AVAILABLE TO ALL The data which the Research will assemble will be recorded on Admiralty charts which will be available to all countries, as was the information compiled by her predecessor, the Carnegie. ..-■In. addition to investigation into the earth's magnetism, the programme of work for the Research includes investigation of atmospheric electricity, meteorological observations, upper air observations by means of balloons, deep sea soundings, and possibly marine biology. NEW ZEALAND JAMBOREE WELLINGTON.—A world Jamboree of Boy Scouts is to be held in Wellington in 1940. It is expected that some 5,000 scouts will be in camp near the capital for the occasion.

DISRAELIS HOME FOR THE NATION New Owner's Plans for Ultimate Disposal HIGH WYCOMBE, Bucks.—Hughen- den Manor, which was the home of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. the Victorian statesman, has been purchased by Mr. William Henry Abbey, of Horsham. Mr. Abbey has stated that he intends to continue residing at Sedgwick Park, Horsham, and expressed the hope that at some future date Hughendon Manor may go to the nation. Hughenden is an estate of 1,400 acres, and is the scene of an annual pilgrimage by members of the Primrose League. A small part of the park was bought in 1936 by High Wycombe Borough Council as the town's memorial to King George V. Until last year the manor was occupied by the Disraeli family. Major Coningsby Disraeli, nephew of Lord Beaconsfield, lived there until his death more than a year ago. His sister was there until September. Hughenden has gardens which are among the most famous in the country. Disraeli there sought relief from political worries. On a hill in the park is an obelisk erected by Lady Beaconsfield to the memory of Isaac DTsraeli, her husband's father. Disraeli is buried beside his wife in Hughenden Churchyard. MORE FULL-LENGTH CARTOONS LONDON.—Mr. Roy Disney, business manager of Disney productions, has stated that " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," cost ^390,000 to make, and a further ^100,000 has been spent on versions in the French; Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czechoslovakian, Swedish, Arabic and Hindustani languages. Another long cartoon, " Bambi," has been 18 months in production, a third, " Pinocchio," has been begun, and a fourth, a musical one, in which Leopold Stokowsky, the conductor, is collaborating, is in preparation to be finished by September, 1939. " Bambi " is the story of a deer ; " Pinocchio " is based on the popular Italian fairy tale. " Alice in Wonderland," which was originally contemplated as a mixture of fiesh-and-blood and cartoon, with Mary Pickford playing Alice, is still a possibility, though it would probably now be all cartoon. FLOODING 2,300 SQ. MILES MOSCOW.—Preparations are being made to flood an area of 2,300 square miles in the heart of one of the most populous farming districts of Northern Russia, when the new power project on the upper Volga river near Rybinsk is completed. Nearly 700 villages and several historic Russian towns which were flourishing before Moscow was founded, will be submerged. Huge rafts are being built on which houses and farm buildings will be floated off. Last year 7,000 households moved with their belongings to new sites. This summer it is planned to move an additional 3,500. The transfer of the inhabitants should be completed by the beginning of 1940. —Reuter. F.E.1 CANADIAN PACIFIC GAZETTE STATUE BY PRAXITELES SECOND FOUND IN ITALY Professor's Discovery in Vicenza Museum LIMBS MISSING ROME.—A marble statue of the god Dionysus, which has lain unnoticed in a corner of the Vicenza Museum for ioo years, is claimed to be an original work of the Greek sculptor Praxiteles. The statue was found in the course of excavations at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, in 1824, but little attention was paid to it till the archaeologist Professor Fasolo was recently invited to examine the museum. Professor Fasolo noticed that the statue was distinctly Praxitelean in spirit and modelling, and was apparently in attic marble. If the claim is well founded the statue will be the second original work of Praxiteles in existence. The other is the statue of Hermes and child found at Olympia, in Greece. Praxiteles, one of the most famous sculptors of antiquity, was born about the year 385 B.C. The statue represents the young Dionysus standing. Both arms are missing, and the legs are broken off above the knees. The head was attached when it was excavated, but has since broken off. The statue has been taken out of its obscurity and placed in a central room of the museum.—Reuter. TRAFFIC SPEED-UP IN EUROPE LONDON.—Founded largely through British enterprise the International Air Traffic Association now numbers among its members nearly thirty airways, whose services it co-ordinates to the benefit of travellers. The work of the Association enables people to make long-distance flights across Europe, effecting accurately-timed connections between one air line and another. To assist in its task of simplifying airway operations throughout the Continent, the Association has decided that each international air service operating in Europe shall be identified by a special route number—one of the advantages of this being to facilitate the reservation of seats by passengers. The association has also simplified the codes used by airway companies when exchanging messages dealing with passenger bookings and other traffic matters. FLIGHTS TO ARCTIC CIRCLE This summer, passengers are able to fly by inter-connected services from London to Northern Finland, actually within the Arctic Circle. During the summer months this picturesquely-named 'Midnight Sun Air-Line" flies up the coast of Norway between Bergen and Tromso, enabling tourists to obtain superb bird's eye-views of mountain peaks and fjords. Norway is now linked with the general European airway system by services which operate via Copenhagen to Oslo. A remarkable example of time-saving on Britain's inland airways, this summer, is the ability to fly from the outer Hebrides to London in 6 hours 40 minutes. FREAK INSURANCE POLICIES Precaution Against Being Converted by Evangelist LONDON.—Insurances against adverse weather, which may result in heavy loss to fruitgrowers, market gardeners and others engaged in outdoor commercial enterprises, have become a normal part of British insurance companies. Such policies safeguard undertakings like swimming pools, open-air cafes and the manufacturers of sunburn lotions and ice cream, who are likely to be affected not only by excessive rainfall but by dull and cheerless weather. Among extraordinary policies which have been taken out was that of a firm which insured the brain of one of its experts for ^100,000. HAT INSURED A French actress insured her hat, which was covered with jewels, against the possibility of its being blown overboard during an Atlantic crossing. An American once insured against the chances of being converted by the eloquence of an emotional woman evangelist who travelled in the same trans- ocean liner. A film director took out policies covering lightning and earthquake ; possible accident to himself and his friends when they play golf ; injuries received by his private football team ; the welfare of his servants ; the Arctic and African trophies in his home ; damage by frostbite to rare plants and tropical fish in his aquarium. In New Zealand a policy was taken out insuring a handicap golfer against holing in one, a feat which might cost him much at the clubhouse afterwards. Last year an American film actress, considering her Southern accent one of her most valuable assets, insured it for ^5,000. LOCH NESS MONSTER When everyone was talking about the Loch Ness monster an insurance was effected in London to cover the contingency of its being caught and delivered alive. An insurance was effected some two years ago when the trout in certain Sussex rivers were covered by a life policy. If the fish died, the insurance company agreed to replace them. SOVIET'S MAGINOT LINE RIGA.—As part of Soviet Russia's defences a " Maginot Line " a thirty- miles-wide war zone, is being constructed from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The whole area, it is understood, has been completely mined and military engineers are completing the electrification of the Esthonian and Rumanian sectors. The mined frontier zone is served by electric stations and in case of invasion the whole western front with its invading armies will be blown up by the pressing down of a dozen electric buttons. Large military aerodromes behind the mine zone are in a state of constant preparedness to complete the demoralisation of the invaders after the frontier explosion.—Reuter, ENGLAND CALLING How speedy, how pleasant, how restful are journeys by rail in England.

AUSTIN REED OF REGENT STREET ROYAL VISIT TO PARIS SUITE PREPARED AT THE QUAI D'ORSAY Napoleon's Desk for the Use of King George VI RARE FURNITURE PARIS.—Elaborate plans for the State visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth from June 28 to July 1 have entailed an expenditure of ^120,000. French warships are to escort their Majesties < across the Channel and a suite at the Quai d'Orsay has been prepared for the Royal visitors. Additional troops will be brought from the provinces to Paris to supplement the garrison in providing escorts and lining the streets, and it is anticipated that King George will attend military manoeuvres at the Camp of Satory, near Versailles. The series of official receptions will include two dinners, followed by dances, one midday banquet, and a gala performance at the Opera. THE KING'S BEDROOM The furniture for the King's bedroom has been chosen from among the finest pieces made for Napoleon I, and used by him in the Palace of the Tuileries and the Chateau of St. Cloud. This " Empire " furniture*, of one of the best French styles, is being thoroughly overhauled and repolished. One of the desks used by Napoleon, regarded as the most beautiful piece in • the collection, will dominate the King's room. In the alcoves of their Majesties' rooms will be two 17th century Gobelins tapestries of Muses by Charles Lebrun. Beauvais tapestries of the period of Louis XVI, have been chosen for the chairs in the salon, between the two bedrooms. The Queen's rooms will contain the choicest furniture used by Marie Antoinette, mostly taken from the Chateau of St. Cloud before its destruction in 1871. Pale green and cream-beige—the Queen's favourite colours—will be used for the wall satins and curtains. The rarest pieces from the State furniture collections are being chosen for the ornamentation. For instance, the Queen's room will be fitted with two small Louis XV chandeliers, only a very few genuine examples of which still exist. 103-113 REGENT STREET • LONDON • Wl AUSTIN REED LTD OLD MASTERS IN LINEN CHEST ROTTERDAM.—A valuable painting by Vermeer, which was discovered in a pile of linen in a Paris flat, and Rembrandt's " Man With the Red Cap " are on view at the Four Centuries Art Exhibition at the Boyman's Museum here. Both pictures have been purchased by Dr. Hannema, director of the museum, with funds obtained from the Rembrandt Society and from at least 100 private contributors, and the total purchase price is known to be not far short of ^100,000. The Rembrandt came from the Pittsburgh collection of Mr. Schwab, and was on view at the Rembrandt Exhibition at Rotterdam in 1935. The fact that the painting discovered in Paris was a 17th century masterpiece was revealed when the family to whom (Continued at foot of next column) SIR L. RONALD'S SUCCESSOR Young Composer at Guildhall School of Music LONDON.—Mr. Eric Cundell, who has succeeded Sir Landon Ronald as Principal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, is 44 years of age, and began to compose music at the age of 15. He has conducted at Queen's Hall and for the B.B.C. Mr. Cundell is well known as a composer of orchestral, choral and chamber music, and as the conductor of the Stock Exchange Orchestra. He composed one of his best-known works, the symphonic poem " Serbia," while serving in Serbia during the war as a lieutenant of artillery. The work was completed during the 18 months of stalemate on this front. FIRST PERFORMED IN SERBIA " When I had finished it," he said, " a Serbian officer liked it and showed it to the musician to the King of Serbia. The parts were copied, and it was performed for the first time by the Court orchestra at Salonika in the presence of the Crown Prince. " I remember in those days making a 'cello out of petrol tins and wood. I believe that that 'cello is now in a war museum, possibly in Athens or Belgrade." Speaking of present-day trends in music, Mr. Cundell said : "I believe that the public taste can be led, and that it should no more be given what it wants than a child should eat what it asks for. "If you pander to the public taste it means supplying the lowest tastes. Popular music can be good and bad. NEGLECTED ROMANTICS " The younger generation to-day—between 25 and 30—is inclined to jump from Bach and Beethoven to modern music, avoiding the romantic school— Schumann, Strauss and Elgar. " Playing music is a greater thing than listening. The great ages of music were when people made music for themselves— the age of Elizabethan madrigal, and even that of the Victorian ballad. " Teachers are going through a bad time, but the increasing sales of pianos to-day is a good barometrical sign." (Continued from previous column) it had belonged for 200 years had to sell some of their property. It was sent to the famous Dutch art expert, Dr. Bredius, to learn whether it had any value. Dr. Bredius not only recognised it as a genuine Vermeer but discovered Ver- meer's signature in a corner, partly covered by a thick coating of varnish. The picture was bought for ^62,000 by three Dutch industrialists and presented to the Boyman's Museum. It is three feet by three feet eight inches and represents Christ with his disciples at Emmaus. Experts describe it as Vermeer at his best. The picture is in excellent condition and needs no restoring. The colours are wonderful and well preserved. It owes its excellent condition to the fact that it has been in the possession of but one family since Vermeer painted it. This family originally lived in Delft and later a branch settled in Paris. F.E.1 CANADIAN PACIFIC GAZETTE CAR SHAPED LIKE A WHALE VAST SCHEME TO REBUILD MUNICH £15,000,000 for New Capital of Greater Germany MUNICH.—A great rebuilding scheme, which will take ten years to complete, and is estimated to cost not less than 180,000,000 Reichsmarks (^15,000,000), is to be undertaken, to make Munich the administrative capital of Greater Germany. New Government and Nazi Party buildings will cost more than 48,000,000 Reichsmarks. Most of the old part of the town is to be demolished and the whole city will be reconstructed. The programme includes the construction of a new railway station, which is to be the largest in Germany, the reconditioning of the old station, which will be used as an auxiliary, and the building of an underground railway system to link Munich with the suburbs. CITY WITHIN A CITY The new Party offices will form part of the " new Brown City " planned in the area now occupied by the Brown House, the Nazi headquarters. This " city within a city " will house all the Nazi administration. The plans have been drawn up by Prof. Speer, Herr Hitler's architect, and the work will be carried out under the Fuehrer's personal supervision. All buildings will be of uniform design. A new chain of arterial roads will link the centre of Munich with the main motor highways. These will serve military purposes, as they will facilitate the quick transport of troops. The new railway station is also being planned with military requirements in view. It will have gas-proof and bombproof shelters. A new parade boulevard, giving an open vista of a mile and a quarter from the station to the Karlsplatz, the centre of the city, will be known as the Adolf Hitler Strasse. WORKING MODEL OF WARFARE FRANKFURT-ON-MAIN.—A novel exhibition of the Great War called " The Living Front " has been opened here for the benefit of disabled German ex-service men. The exhibition which covers an area of 1,076 square feet, shows in miniature a section of the front with actual fighting in progress. MOVED MECHANICALLY Everything is moved mechanically. Trains with fresh troops are rolling along the railways from the country to the depot behind the front line. Camps, hospitals and aerodromes are all shown. Heavy guns firing from camouflaged positions, hand grenade attacks, tanks going into action, ruined villages, devastated forests and hills riddled with shell holes—all the horrors of modern warfare are faithfully reproduced on this miniature battlefield. Posters round the exhibition proclaim in large lettering : " Once we were fighters during the Great War, now we are fighters for Peace."—Reuter. FOR ATTEMPT ON SPEED RECORD Two Supercharged Engines to Drive Mr. Cobb's Car FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE BROOKLANDS.—A striking departure from orthodox design and appearance has been made by Mr. Reid Railton in the three-ton car which he has produced for Mr. John Cobb's attack at Bonneville, Utah, on the world's land speed record made by Capt. G. E. T. Eyston with 311 m.p.h. The new car has been described as having the appearance of a cross between a beetle and a submarine, the shell-like body being made to fit over the wheels, leaving a whale-shaped vehicle whose surface is broken only by a moulded cockpit in the front and four small humps over the wheels. According to the " Autocar " Mr. Railton began by designing the body and then fitted the machinery into place. Instead of the usual frame there is a rectangular steel girder, which forms the spine of the car and terminates at each end in a fork. 2,500 H.P. On either side of this girder, roughly in the centre, are two supercharged Napier " Lion " engines, carried on outrigger brackets, giving a total of approximately 2,500 h.p. At one end of each engine is a large centrifugal blower, turning at about 30,000 revolutions a minute. It is supplied by three large carburettors, the air intakes for which have been carried back to a point where they are not likely to pick up salt on the track. Two magnetos supply current for the plugs, of which there are two in each cylinder. The lubrication is on the dry- sump principle. All four wheels are driven, the right- hand engine driving the front and the left-hand engine the rear wheels. The front wheels are set 5 feet 6 ins. apart and the rear 3 feet 6 ins. The driver in his cockpit is placed almost in the nose of the car, well in front of the engines. He is actually in front of the forward axle. ICE FOR COOLING Though the actual time for which the car will run and the distance it will travel are necessarily short, 18 gallons of fuel have to be carried in a light tank at one side of the frame, and 15 gallons of oil in another tank also at the side of the frame, tucked in beside an engine. There is no radiator. The engines are cooled by the 75-gallon water tank carried within the body, and assisted by ice. It would be inadvisable to ice the whole of the water in the tank, so there is a separate compartment for the iced water. The contents of this are fed to the main supply for the engine by a thermostatically controlled valve in accordance with the temperature attained, the whole arrangement being entirely automatic. The throttles work in unison from one pedal which also controls a big flap, which can be caused to project from the top of the body and act as an air brake. The gear lever controls both boxes, operating them simultaneously through rack-and- pinion mechanism.

Telegram* : WALGANG.iVESDO, LONDON LAUGH AND LIVE LONG BETTER PANACEA THAN EXERCISE Doctor Claims Happiness First Necessity for Health DISEASE CAUSED BY WORRY LONDON.—" If I had to choose between exercise and a sense of humour as a panacea for long life, I should not hesitate, I should choose laughter," declares Sir Charles Wilson, Dean of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School. Sir Charles, who was " summing up " in the series of lectures by doctors on fitness, arranged by the British Medical Association, declared that of all the factors making for health, happiness was easily the first. He drew pictures of the harassed professional man, killed by worry and the stress of modern life, and the industrial worker, his energies sapped by monotony.*' " When things go wrong in the stress of city life,'' he said, '' worry and anxiety affect the movements and secretions of the stomach. Drugs and diet sheets help little. We have to realise what is wrong in the environment and change it if we can." DOCTOR'S DISEASE Sir Charles gave an example of a particular disease which might be caused simply by worry and strain—coronary thrombosis, known as " doctor's disease." "It is the nemesis waiting for any man who for years carries a burden of responsibility in the professions, in the Civil Service, in the armed forces, .or in business," he said. " If a man has a philosophy of life, if he can laugh at himself, he is less likely to become a victim of such penalties as this." In the case of the industrial worker monotony was the insidious foe of fitness. His life became highly artificial and an affront to nature. Of the national fitness campaign Sir Charles said : "A man's inherent weaknesses, mental and physical, are not altered by exercise, nor is his ability to transmit those weaknesses to his offspring made less. One must not look for far- reaching effects from the fitness campaign on the future fitness of the race. But this generation will gain from it in happiness and well-being." CHURCH CONTROL OF DOCTORS STATUTE STILL UNREPEALED LONDON.—By a law passed during the reign of Henry the Eighth, which has never been removed from the Statute Book, no doctor may set up in practice in London without being examined and approved by either the Bishop of London or the Dean of St. Paul's. This privilege of Fulham Palace, long abandoned but never officially repealed, was a survival of the day when '' doctors '' were all priests. The modern science of healing had its birth in the herbal gardens which were cultivated at monasteries. Marriage licences are still issued from the Bishop of London's Registry at Doctor's Commons—a reminder that the law, too, was once administered by the Church. The Black Cap, which symbolises the drama of a murder trial, preserves after many centuries the link between law and the Church. The monastic judge of the middle ages, when called upon to pass sentence of death, would put on a cap to cover his tonsure, and so dissociate this grim action from his priestly office. Socially prominent... here and abroad... MRS. BARCLAY WARBURTON, JR. jLHE lovely Mrs. Warburton entertains frequently in New York, Palm Beach—and, of course, at "Saracen Farm," the family estate near Philadelphia. For two years, she made her home in Florence. Mrs. Warburton always has Camels within easy reach. As she says, "All I want to smoke is Camels. Camels are so mild, they never get on my nerves. And when I'm tired, Camels give me a 'lift9!" In so many different ways, Camel smokers find out for themselves the truth of the saying: "Camels agree with me!"

They range from soothing nervous guests at the Palace to censoring the nation's dramatic entertainment, and call for a remarkable combination of tact, determination and ability. It is the Lord Chamberlain who commands the presence of His Majesty's guests at courts, garden parties, official dinners and receptions and levees. He and his assistants must watch for errors in dress and see that all goes smoothly. Conversely, he has the ungrateful fask of refusing presentations. Here the Lord Chamberlain is assisted by a complete and penetrating card index which keeps strictly up to date with the personalities likely to come within the aura of the Court. To everyone who is refused a presentation the Lord Chamberlain gives an excuse or a reason. TRUMPETERS AND PAGES The trumpeters, pages and Court musicians, to say nothing of the Court physicians, all come under his personal direction. Finally, he must be the friend and confidant of the King and Queen. Lord Cromer, during the reigns of three sovereigns, maintained the highest traditions of the Court of St. James, and succeeded in keeping it free from suspicion of " Palace politics." Formerly he had served in the Guards and had been diplomat, A.D.C. (he was A.D.C. to two Viceroys of India), banker (he is a Baring and was managing director of Baring Bros.), assistant private secretary to King George V, and chairman for innumerable charity appeals. Lord Clarendon has been appointed to succeed Lord Cromer. Lord Clarendon is the son of the fifth earl, a former Lord Chamberlain, and has had a varied career. He is remembered chiefly for his services as chairman of the B.B.C. from 1927 to 1930, and Governor- General of South Africa, from 1931 to 1937- LESS FORMALITY IN DRESS LONDON.—The tendency towards less formality in dress, which has been noticeable in recent years at Covent Garden, has been definite during the present season. The first step in the transition was the disappearance of velvet cloaks, and this has now been followed by the discarding of tiaras and beautiful family jewellery. On the opening night, for example, no tiara was to be seen, and even the diamond hair bandeaux could be counted on the fingers. The Princess Royal, who appeared in the Royal box, gave support to the movement towards simplicity, by wearing a narrow, gem-set circlet on her hair, and a filmy frock such as she might wear to an informal dance. Flowers in the hair were popular among young women, one of whom had a miniature Victorian posy as a top-knot, to go with a white frock patterned with blossoms, and a little rose-red muff on the wrist. Others favoured a coiffure spray. F.E.1 CANADIAN PACIFIC GAZETTE Outdoor Frocks for Qarden Parties and the Sea SKIRTS 14 INCHES FROM THE GROUND- FABRICS FOR PLAY FROCKS -RICH LONDON.—The social schedule for the next few weeks has a gay ring about it, which vibrates with activity from morn to midnight. Cricket, tennis and polo will provide plenty of variety for the sport-loving visitor, while a nightly succession of balls attended by Royalty or persons of note will allow visitors to dance through the night, and incidentally benefit some Hospital, Club or Home by the proceeds of the Ball. Ascot heralds in yet another form of entertainment—garden parties. These run gaily along until the middle of July and need a variety of dresses of the same type as those designed for Ascot. Isobel, a noted authority on London sartorial requirements, voted against the picture frock for Ascot, designing them 14 inches from the ground, not to trail the lovely green lawns as they have done of yore. KNIFE-PLEATED CREPE-DE-CHINE If you are young, Isobel will dress you in white crepe-de-chine, a simple knife-pleated frock with wide corselette belt, covered with a full-length coat of white or lemon yellow, and of course lemon colour accessories—bag, shoes, gloves and hat to match. The matching, by the way, is perfect. In more sophisticated vein she shows a printed frock of crepe-de-chine in raspberry, white and black. The skirt has 32 panels and the method of cutting the fabric adds considerable charm to the pattern. With this goes a raspberry- coloured coat and hat with matching accessories in suede. Elegance of this type is full compensation for the 14 inches off the length, and for those who prefer pastel shades, there is border pink, nil green, tulip mauve and powder blue. Dresses in these colours are worn with large saucer hats, floating veils, furs dyed to match, and accompanying accessories. The effect is exquisite. But here is the secret, for in dyeing furs Isobel is unique. Somehow you really feel the animal must have grown the lovely pastel colours in which his fur now appears, as they glow and look so real. NEW MATERIALS FOR BEACH WEAR Something new in the way of beach attire is now mainly confined to a quest for new fabrics, the royal road to this end leading through Liberty's. This is no new discovery, as Liberty's prints and designs are internationally known, but it is new to find these lovely fabrics made into playtime frocks, sun dresses, lounge pyjamas and swim suits. For cruising they are ideal. Play frocks are shown in grey printed cottons with a one-piece vest-panties of white jersey beneath. With this is worn an enormous bright-coloured sombrero of plaited straw, native made and as light as thistledown. For more serious moments these play frocks can be completed with a wrap or button skirt and tiny bolero of a plain coloured linen with gay belt and facings. The lounge suits are shown in a new silk and wool material. Some are iridescent as the silk warp may be of one colour and the wool weft of another. One attractive model shows a bolero coat and slacks in sail red, with shirt of mustard colour. The bolero had short slightly puffed sleeves and pipings to match the yellow shirt, while the slacks were held at the waist with an important belt and buckle, also of yellow. PAISLEY PATTERNED LINENS Sun dresses can be in almost any type of material, the most popular being paisley patterned linens. These are simply made, semi-fitting and buttoning down one side, finished with shoulder straps and turn over tops of plain colour. With this a short sleeved bolero completes the outfit. Beneath you can wear ordinary undies, or a corselette swim suit which moulds the figure to perfect proportions. These can be in plain colours or daringly figured to imitate the marking of a leopard skin. There's nothing dull here ! DESERT PARADISE ALEXANDRIA.—Plans " to turn a desert into a paradise "by means of proper irrigation are being considered by the authorities here. The district to be developed covers Amria and Mariout, situated about 35 miles from here. At present the population of this area is 25,000 but it is hoped to enable some 600,000 people to settle there in the future. The plan at present under consideration consists mainly in extending the Nubaria Canal to Ikingi Mariout. Kaimakan Kamel Bey, Governor of the district, recalled in an interview that during the Greek era what is now barren land provided adequate means of support for 600,000 inhabitants.—Reuter. MEDIAEVAL ENGLAND TEWKESBURY.—Rich in memories of the Wars of the Roses and mediaeval England—it was here that Edward IV inflicted a crushing defeat on the Lancastrians in 1471—this old town has many buildings of that era and even of earlier date. The abbey church, built in 1123 occupies the site of a monastery founded in 715. King John's Bridge over the Avon, almost as old as the Abbey, and a number of 15th, 16th and 17th century buildings meet the stroller in the quaint old streets. Here Mr. B. A. Meyer, who is well known wherever theatrical people foregather, has settled in the old Bell Hotel, originally a monastic guest house, which has 1696 engraved on the face of the present building. Massive oak beams, bearing the marks of the axe that shaped them, are everywhere in evidence, though central heating and electric light have added comfort to the antique. And here you will find him playing " Mine Host " on his own stage. WHITEHALL 6441 ESTABLISHED 1859 BY APPOINTMENT J. ROCHELLE THOMAS THE GEORGIAN GALLERIES 10, II & 12 KING STREET, ST.

THE LARGEST COLLECTION IN THE WORLD. ALL GUARANTEED OVER 100 YEARS OLD REVIVAL OF ARCHERY TUNBRIDGE WELLS. — Archery, once a compulsory Sunday sport in England, is again becoming a national sport. There are now some fifty archery clubs in the country, and tournaments are being held at Ranelagh, Leamington Spa, Bath and Sidmouth during the summer. The use of the bow and arrow is no gentle exercise. The average strength of a man's bow is from 42 lb. to 45 lb., and of a woman's about 24 lb. To pull these bows 144 times a day for three days in succession, requires considerable strength. Yew bows are still used, though steel bows are made, and have the advantage of not losing strength on a hot day. An arrow called a." 4-6 " weighs four shillings and sixpence in silver coins; a " 3-3 " weighs three shillings and a threepenny bit in silver. The arrows are, as a rule,^ 25 in. in length overall for women and 28 in. for men. Any archer who gets three arrows in the " gald "—the " bull's eye " of the target—receives a shilling from other archers of the same sex. The accomplishment of the feat is no easier than " holing in one." COMPULSORY ATHLETICS BERLIN.—A minimum period of two hours a week for gymnastics, athletics or some suitable game during working hours is to be set aside for youthful employees—both boys and girls—working in German factories, offices, shops and other businesses. This measure is to help to ensure the physical fitness of the country's youth. —Reuter.

But it's only the beginning of the day for Paris' fun centres, for the closing down of the 1937 Exposition has resulted in an increased number of new- night clubs, dance halls, fun emporiums and hot spots. There is frivolity and gaiety to suit any purse—in fact I am of the definite opinion that the less one spends the better one amuses oneself in Paris (or perhaps in any city). Night clubs are the same the whole world over and only the native haunts prove truly diverting. Music-Hall Wit For those who are tired of the cabarets and know a little French we can heartily recommend the typical French music halls, such as the A.B.C., which are witty to the extreme. They are not to be confused with the Folies-Bergeres or the Casino de Paris type of music hall with their parades of beauty. Incidently, these two have magnificent programs at the present time. The A.'B.C. and its group of theatres specialise in skits on current events more than in the classic variety line. The Moulin Rouge, old-time hot-spot of our forefathers, has been so modernised and renovated, including the show, that it is now one of the finest amusement centres in the city. It somewhat resembles the New York French Casino now defunct but has that indefinable French touch that adds charm. The floor show is tops. Montmartre and Montparnasse are finding a strong night-life rival in the Champs-Elysees where new cabarets and dance halls are springing up like mushrooms. Side-Street Cabarets Movies have replaced all the theatres along this avenue but practically every side street now has its cabaret. Among the most popular and most amusing of these is O'Det's place, the Mimi Pinson. If you have been to Paris before you will remember O'Det of Place Pigalle fame. It is hard to say what place in town you would like best to honour on your first evening in town, but a more or less complete evening would be to dine on the Champs-Elysees, say at Fouquet's which is one of the finest restaurants in Paris and where you will get immediate service; then to see the one and only original theatrical ice-show at the Mogador Theatre where Georges Milton, most popular of the French stars, does his stuff in burlesque manner. Moving Along After that the real fun may begin. Have you that truly American complex of " Let's move along." If you have we recommend Montmartre and the Rue Fontaine or the Rue Pigalle, for the night clubs are laid side by side and the moving along is the least complicated we know of. When you become bored with champagne and whoopee around four o'clock in the morning we can heartily recommend the onion soup at the Halles (Central Markets) where one can indulge one's pyschological urge by purchasing all kinds of vegetables—usually much to the annoyance of the hotel concierge. Harry's Bar, in the Rue Daunou, and Frankie O'Neill's Silver Ring bar are the two outstanding American drink emporiums of the city, and both are always packed with capacity crowds.— Harry's to meet the old cronies and fellow visitors ; Frankie's for the hottest tips on horse-racing, boxing or any other sport. Montparnasse for Supper Montparnasse has turned into one of the finest supper places in the world. Gone are the old crowd of corduroy-panted artists who frequented its cafes before the 1929 crash, but in their place are the newer, modernistic and surrealistic artists, and its life continues as usual. The Coupole and the Dome are two of the best cafes there and the Coupole has a wonderful restaurant and a fine dance floor. The old Rotonde has reopened— and retained all its old pictures which had been thought lost for ever. This is the real place to wind up a joyous evening around six or seven in the morning.

In previous seasons his slow bowling has been an asset to the team's attack, and he is also a useful bat. The fixture list for the season, arranged by Sir Edward Campbell, includes matches with the M.C.C., Westminster School and Eton Second Eleven. The House of Lords is well represented in the Parliamentary side, with the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Aberdare—who played for Middlesex as Mr. C. N. Bruce—the Duke of Norfolk, and Lord Rankeillour among the Peers who join Lord Ebbisham in the team. NOW CONTENT TO WATCH The Cabinet has only one representative in the Parliamentary side—Mr. Burgin. Sir Thomas Inskip and Mr. Ernest Brown are content nowadays to watch, although both have been players. Capt. Arthur Hope, Mr. Pat Munro, the Scottish Rugger international, and Lord Dunglass, the Prime Minister's P.P.S., represent the Treasury. Other cricketing P.P.S.'s are Mr. W. W. Wakefield, England's old Rugger captain, Sir Edward Campbell and Mr. J. A. L. Duncan. For fast bowling the side relies on Mr. W. Perkins, while Mr. P. T. Eckersley, formerly captain of Lancashire, is probably the team's best bat. EXPLORING ENGLAND Hire a car from Harrods on arrival, and explore the glorious homeland without a care !

I Why I am groingr to the PALACE TORQUAY I like good food and a pleasant room—\ may add I am not averse to luxury. I do not like hotels whose front gardens are bleak forecourts for the waste paper and cigarette stubs of the passing tripper; the 25 acre grounds of the Palace are not on view—except to my fellow guests. I like golf, tennis, squash, bowls, swimming, dancing—in fact most of the fun and games; but I object having to travel miles to enjoy them, and still more to the astonishing prices some people charge for an hour or so's amusement. Finally I shall pay no more than first class hotel charges, and there will be no extras on the bill because all the amenities are included in the terms. So glad you're coming along. (N.B.
