Y< may like this sort of probing, but don't! If you suspect Croydon Sea: go and tell him so, but let me alone!' Neville was on the verge of being angry, so, being a diplomatic man Tite Riggs made some laughing retor and sauntered away. Seeing Sears and Ned had returned together, speak to them. "Might as well put it through," hi told himself. "Been in?" he asked, noting the vig orous glow that seems to follow afternath the salt-water dip.

Mil I Can England Survive It? Red-faced old gentlemen in Hants and lace-collared Victorian ladies in any shire may be expected to deluge The Morning Post and Tin Times with letters, now that Premier Baldwin has bursted One of England's -Traditions. Sinoe Sir Walter Raleigh returned from the Virginias with tobacco, and clouds of smake began to arise at Hampton Court, there has been one rule in the Commons which was never violated. That rule is: no member may smoke unless the House has adjourned. The other night when the lights went out the Premier puffed his favorite pipe in the inner lobby, and, though the House cheered, what can possibly be the effect of this upon the landed gentry? Sir Roger de Coverley, in his country denes, cannot be expected to let such a matter pass. Since the rule of the Commons was made, a King has been beheaded, himself the son of a King who wrote that "Counterblast Against Tobacco" which is one of the prides of pedan-ticlsm and one of the really triumphant bores of literature. Since that rule, Prime Ministers have to smoke pipes. But never before has a Prime Mirjtster smokled his pipe while the House lession. Possibly England, which withstood the horrors of the war and lived through a Labor Ministry containing four Peers, can adjust itself to wuat-apse on the part of not only a Premier but an aristocrat may por- Only Fresh Tea Good "SALADA" Sealed air-tignt.

Berisch, to kill and prepare it for cooking on the spot. After the vender of sea food had deftly delivered a smashing blow on the head of the fish, he started to scrape [ of the scales. When she saw the fish still squirming in the man's hand, the old woman emitted a scream of horror, called him a brute and subsequently had him arraigned in the Charlottenburg court "for wanton cruelty." The court, finding itself incompetent to judge of the vitality of fishes, called in two piscatorial experts, who testified that after a properly deliver--ed biow on the head a fish is as dead as a door nail and that its continuing motions are purely rebectory in character.
