Tudor palace.

The palace itself is Crown prop- erty and it is the lease which is for sale. '

Richmond Old Palace has colon!- ed to the Kings of England since tho days when Edward the Third was King, and he died there quite a, long time ago; to wit in 1377. Richard the Second entertained thousands of guests in the Palace --lburons, knights and bishops and ladies of high degree . Henry the Seventh brought up all the young Tudors in it, and according to tril- dltlon loft much gold in coffers now lying in choked-up passages under- ground.

‘Ihere, too, Elizabeth held court, And there, too,,went in their day Spencer, Shakespeare and Sir Wal- ter Raleigh.

LctAus hope that whoever buys the Old Palace will have some a-P- preciatlon of ages past. If he has, when lie rests in the narrow room above the Tudor archway bearing the arms of Henry VII n6 ‘viii sure- ly not sleep without ABIIIEITLDQTHIE that here the great Elizabeth died and that from his window was thrown the‘ ring which the can of Essex gave her.-the signal to the waiting servants of James I that the Tudor sun had set and the day of the Stuarts had dawned.

lt, but the number wa. s that of Buckingham Palace and "Mr. King" was H. M. King George the Fifth. Anyhow, the Palace attendants spent most of the day explaining to all sorts of mystified callers 0n the telephone Just who and what ‘Victoria. 4932' stood for.

The Palace is not at all times immune from this sort of thing. Not long ago a caller awaiting a number found himself (by the court esy presumably of the telephone Sorvlve and the wonders of science) listening not to the number lie wanted but to a. Palace servant call ing the Palace fishmonger to de- liver forthwith so-ancl-so many fish to the royal table. Of malice afore- thought he waited an hour and then called the royal fishmonger: "Where’s that fish for the Pul- ace?

“Why? Haven't you goc it yet? We sent it half an hour ago. Who's speaking, sir?" "Who's speaking? George the Fifth!" And the delighted joker and nar- rator might think himself lucky. Once ul>°n a time he'd have been hanged, drawn and quartered or stewed in boiling oil for that little plecsantry.

DOLE HAS DOUBLED 1N PAST TEN YEARS

LONDON, Aug. 29.—The decision of the new Government to reduce the unemployment benefits (dole) by 10 per cent. will affect almost all of Britain's 2,700,000 unemployed.

For instance, a. married man with a. wife and two children and no job now receives _$7.20 per week under the dole system. ,

Reduced by 10 per cent, he will receive $6.48 s. week to support a family of four as long as he is our of work.

In 1921 a. man in the same circum-

stances would have received $5.25 a week. The increase of $7.20 since that date andthe drop is cost ,dis that date and the drop in cost of living has given the weekly dole a purchasing power of $10.80 in recent months as compared to the 1921 dole. Under the new plan of econ- omy rcducing the dole the married man with two children will be able to PLTODBSB about $9.70 worth of each week as compared to $BGKQJ food, clothing and living quarters each week as compared to 5.25 worth in i921] Hundreds of millions of dollars have bien spent in providing unem- ployment benefits 1n Britain, and the recent Labor Government wid- ened the scope of such service.

“WATCH GANDHI"

KINGSTON. N. S., Aug, 29—-"A inan of wonderful ability, of K8811 intellect, and at the same 11m?-

- a, man of contradictions and in-

consistencies." This was the impres- sion of Mahatma Gandhi conveyed to attendants at the Kingston Bible Conference held here from August 12 to 13, by Miss Mabel Archibald, who has spent more than thirty years as a missionary in India.

The Bible conference, on annual event under the auspices of King- ston Baptist and affiliated church- cs of Melvern square and lower, Aylesford is held "for the purpose of encouraging careful Bible study, for the deepening of 891111-1181 1159. and. to cultivate fellowlnsh in be- llevers."

Subjects considered this year were “The ‘Ih-inity" dealt with by Rev. J. J. Sidley, in five lectures; The Book of Hebrews, reviewed by Rev. H. L. Kinsman; the Book of Ephesians, on which Rev. F. C. Haymore gave a. series of talks; the Kingdom Parables, interpreted by Rev. A. L. ‘Iledford.

Six lectures on "The Second Com in; of Christ" were given by Rev. Eduard Morris, with special em- phass on the premillenial point of view. The pre-millenial return i5 one of the doctrinal points set forth by the Kingston Bible Collffii’, a fundamentalist institution which has grown from the Bible confor- encs.

Evening services at the confer- ence were devoted to’ evangelism, At thccloslng service the ordinance of baptism 'was administered to three persons. One communicant offered for the foreign mission ser- vice, and will begin training at the Kingston Bible College this year.
