Posthumous Humour Britisii courts are accustomed to strange litigations; but it is doubtful whether they nave ever laced a more fantastic one than that which writes to them for judgment under the. will of the late George ii-W-H'd 5”f”' The matter is coming up sometime this month. .

Mr. Shaw left something like 8 quarter of a million dollars. "to ill- itiate and finance inquiries into the possibilities of a phoenctic alphabet embodying 40 letters "instead of the conventional 26.” Just as "a book: a book though there's nothing in -It so 3 will's a will though it contains obviously impossible provisions. This, of course, is where the courts come in, as the testator knew they would. But Mr. Shaw must have been well aware of the ludicrousness involved in "ascertaining the number of p00- ple who speak the English language and write it by the established al- phabet," still more in ”reckoning the amount of time which would be saved per individual scribe' by the substitution of an alphabet providing one symbol for each sound," and up- roariously in "discovering how many of these persons are engaged in writ- ing and in speaking English at any

Here is a doctrine of non-violence the like of which America has rarely seen since the days colonial Quakers left their iatchstrings out as their defence against hostile Indians.

Back around the turn of the cen- tury, the doctor's little black has contained only a few standard drugs-quinine, colomel Ind oth- er-g...maybe even some augar pills. BIMPLE AND SAFE

These drugs were simple and comparatively safe. However many also were ineffective.

It was pretty much up to the physician himsel' to decide how to make the best use of the medl- cines available. But with all the new drugs now being introduced each year, it is virtually impou lble for a doctor to check each one himself.

Some are powerful and produce dramatic results. Others are use- ful withln certain limitations. Some modern drugs present certain dan- gers. They may even be harmful unless used in precisely the right amounts and in the right way. FAIL TO WORK

Still other new medicines some- times are disappointing. They do not do the Job it was hoped they would.

How, then. does your doctor knows what to prescribe for your illness How can he be up to date on new, 1' ' developments.

Well, each month I try to give you a little idea of what is new in my regular report on medical advances, so that you can discuss them with your doctor. More im- portant. though, is the role of the American Medical Association's drug evaluations program.

Only Mr. Shaw was in a position to answer that question, a n d apparently he kept his own counsel in the matter. Perhaps it was because he wanted them to feel slightly riiscomfitcd be- fore fecling very happy at the acqui. sition of a few extra pounds. At any rate, that would have fitted in with the Shavian sense of humour.

A Fine Example

Sonicthing may be happening in Alabama which could be of unpre- cedented significance in the resolving of interracial problems in the United States, reports the Christian Science Monitor. Last May, when the Negro boycott of Iilontgomcry's segregated city buscs was scarce six months old, the Mayor and the police commis- sioner tcslificd before the federal district court that the end of such segregation would bring "violence and bloodshed." But it takes two sides in make a quarrel, and the Negroes of Alabama's capital have set an example of non-violence which cannot fail to appeal to decent people everywhere.
