‘"1119? may look half savage, but the Uuide books assure us they are the politest people on the continent and I, with very little evidence, am inclined to agree with them. Never have I seen such doffing of caps, heard such eager greetings 01 "Bfllilcur Madame, Bonjour, Mbieu" as came from the young- sters at Riviera Renard, or in 1mg- lish, Fox River.

"Nor is this politeness superficial Le Bon Dieu, is the first to be shown the courtesy accorded to His creatures. Ding ding—ding, ding —~the silvery tones of a. little bell announce the passing of a priest carrying the Last Sacrements to some humble fishermanls cottage. solemnly the little procession comes along the road; the altar boy ringing his bell, followed by the Driest with downcast eyes. Or if the mission is a far one, the priest hastens in a Ford, always heralded by the steady ding ding, Instantly every cap is doffed, many

tholic and Protestant alike, stops whatever he may be doing and Datises in a moment of reverence at the sound of the little bell. As these rather primitive people are mainly descendant; of French set- tlers from Normandy, Brittany, and the Channel Islands. For years they have lived in their villages, seldom venturing far afield, and until recently, almost wholly iso- lated from the rcst of the world. It is not to be wondered at that they are so rich in folklore, so deeply crcdulous of the supernatural be- ings believed ‘to haunt their shores The grandeur, primitive and rug- ged of their surroundings has had its effects on their characters and they are simple but not ignm-ant. Indeed, they could hardly be that with so many schools scattered in and around the peninsula. Every village, however unali, has its sign "coole" accosting t‘ i motorist; and some even have two schools which, considering the size of the popula- tiou, would reveal in the Gaspec- inns a healthy thirst for knowledge

"You will find the South Shore 0f Gaspe much more civilized. The scenery loses its mssedness an it takes on an almost pastoral aspect. culminating in the beautiful Mata pedia Valley.

At that moment there came along the Street a large blue motor car. It stopped at No. 10, set down the Prime Minister, turned and slowly threaded its way out into White- hall. My omniscient neighbor look- ed at the registration plate at its rear. It was NY., followed by a ser- ial number. _ _

It is at the risk of boring, but as this is a. Downing Street Edition perhaps a. little of its history may be worth recalling. '

LONDON, Sept !4—1n times of peace w; denizens of London have “ounnds of topics of conversation ready to our tongues! This week and for mapy weeks to come we have had and shall have but one: The crisis. and linked up with that, and all that it implies, is the more than two and o half centuries old dark red brick house-No. 10 Downing Street.

Out of all London's millions I should think that there can hardly be one, other than tho blind, who has not been this week, i! never be- fore, to look atNo. 110 or studied its photograph in eevry edition of every newspaper.

From the day when the King dc- cided, after 24 hours In Scotland, to return to London overnight from the day when the Cabinet, and lat- er, the heads of other parties be- gan to pay hurried and aembsur- reptitious visits to No. 10, from the day when great bankers whose names are household words began to call at No. 10 late at night and enter by back doors, we have thought and talked of nothing but "Number Ten."

LONDON, Sept 14—-A school for training young men for $10,000 to $50,000 a year posts-backed by the Bank of lilngland and the business magnates of Britain-is to be optin- ed in London.

For many years the chiefs of the Bank of England, with the heads of the great business concerns, have been discussing the need for moulding young men inw future kings of commerce-and this is the result.

Promisingyouths are at lasttobe given a chance oi’ reaching the top- most rungs of the ladder of com’ mercial and industrial succes. Birth and social status will not count.

The sons o! dukes and dustmen, the heirs of industrial magnates, and boys born in the slums may sit together in the class.

The 5011001, which is to be estab- lished as a branch of the London School of Economics, will be known as "The Department of Business administration."

Jules Menken, former econrnic secretary to Mr. Lloyd George, is to be in charge of the school.

He said to a reporter: "The brains behind the great British enterprises have long realized that the rule-of-thumb principle of business must g0. They know that broad administrative vision as well as the habit of clear-cut analysis and detailed knowledge of facts are essential if current busi- ness problems are to bo success- fully attacked and solved.

"This insight is not instilled at. the public schools and universities, and it is not likely to be acquired by ‘cramming’ dead languages or by specialization.

And there have been humours. too, to entertain the crowd of wait- ers both at the front and the back doors. As this: The other day a sturdily built man of middle height. a man in the ‘sixties with a subtly humorous cast of expression walked along the street and turned off to get to the back door. He was wearing a lounge suit and a soft hat and was smoking a. cigarette. Ho bore o, burden. It was a bowler hat, a suit of clothes hanging over his arm, and-three pipes. Thus came to No. l0 none other than the Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin. M- P. ex-Prime Minister, late leader of the Opposition and now leader of the House of Commons in H. M. National Government. But Why he chose thus to arrive I dent lm<>W~ Anyhow, the crowd liked that un- ostentatious gentleman, and they cheered him lik¢ billy-ho.

piece of wood, driven into the trunk of a cocoanut tree during ii typhoon, became source of relig- ious superstition in Tigbao, Occi- dental Negros, and attracted such a crowd that constabulary, with the consent of the tree owners ii- nally removed it.

The strange piece of wood went unnoticed for months, according to report made by the constabulary.

However, Julio Agapito, devout- ly religious, saw in the object some thing of religious significance. His children had been seriously ill and Agapito despaired of saving them.

The strip oi wood was so fasten- ed to the tree that it made an odd shaped cross. One night Agapito took his children to the tree, and placed lighted candles about thei cross WIIICh the storm had made. and began to pray.

Almost immediately his children] improved and soon they were fully recovered. Agapito attributed this to some miraculous property of the; cross, and spread the word. l.

To change from Downing Street to the House of Commons. We are likely to have some choice bite of topsy-turvydorn when the National Government meets the Opposition in the House, to say nothing of scenes staged by the wild men.

It is accurate to say that not all the late Ministers who have aband- oned Mr. MacDonald were really opposed to his policy —on some points or to the course which the National Government intend to take. Some of them, indeed, sup- ported him in council though they had not the‘ courage to stand by [him in the end.
