London. ? For the first time In his tory the public was admitted to the ?acred precincts of the college of her alds, when that Institution held nn ex hibition hero to celebrate the four hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of the granting of Its chnrter by King Rich ard III. The Heralds, Clarenoeux king of arms, Lancaster herald, Ilouge Dra gan pursuivant, under the direction of the hereditary earl marshal of Eng land, are Inextricably linked with the ?pnclous days of British history, when men were all brave and Jousts and tourneys occupied that plnce In public affection now filled by ball games and the gridiron. Kver\ today the college Is an extremely busy institution, par ticularly when a coronation or some other magnificent state function Is In prospect. Its everyday work calls for the qualities of artist and lawyer, poet and magistrate, master of ceremonies And arbitrator. Horaldry Is a fine art which is also an exact science, and It Is one of the duties of the college to direct nnd control the design of the crests and coats of arms with which the most newly created lordllng wishes to em blazon his automobile and household silverware.

Stresses Value of Tradition. "In times when many disruptive ten dencies are at work the value of tradi tion Is brought home to those who have the stability and continuity of our civilization at heart," Raid the foreword to the catalogue of- the com memorative exhibition, and that sen tence may help to give some under standing of one of the most amazing and fascinating shows ever seen In London. The college of heralds Is so old ? it was probably in existence long be fore Its charter was granted In 1848 ? that It refers to centuries ns lightly as others speak of years. In this ex hibition were seen pedigrees of the Fifteenth century which trace the origin of the Saxon kings back to Adam and Eve. This magnificent vel lum makes the Intriguing suggestion that Adam "dyed of the goute." Earl of Lemonade Recorded. The college of heralds touches at so many points In the history of these islands that it was not surprising to see a prayer book of King Charles II, lent by King (Jeorge; while near by was the pedigree of Admiral Lord Nelson, and signed in the admiral's own shaky hand. This tree Is of very modest size, compared with some of the vast charts which were on dis play. The negro slave, Henri Chrlstophe, who bocame king of Haytl, created a nobility of his own which Included two peers with the high-sounding titles of "the Duke of Marmalade" and "the Earl of lemonade." The original register of arms of this exotic no bility was In the exhibition. Among grants of arms was the draft of n grtin\ to John Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon, father of the poet, and an interesting note in defense of his granting these arms by the garter king of arms of that day, when It was claimed that they loo closely resem bled the arms of Lord Mauley. Of particular American interest was the picture of Heralds proclaiming the Peace of Versailles In 1783. by which the Independence of the thirteen col onies was recognized by the mother country.

BARRETT Accidents by automobile* seem to be on the increase. Fatal Injuries caused by automobile ao eidonts Id 1033 'numbered slightly over :'850,000, and d e a t h s aiuouoted to 29,900, an in crease of 700 over the previous year. Occasionally, one hears of fin insur ance company can celling the double indemnity payable on death by acci dent. The premium on accident insur ance has also in creased due to the additional hazards Involved. We are not surprised at this when we read In a recent city report that during the "first five months of 193-1 there were 540 fatalities, or IOC more than In the corresponding j>erlod of 11)33." Upon examination of exhaustive re ports on automobile accidents occurring last year, one is astonished to discov er that the majority of these accidents are not caused by misliaps to old or second-hand cars, but to new cars. Oriental Touch There Is an oriental feeling In this white crepe tunic dress for afternoon wear. White dotted navy blue belt and lacings through the buttons are a strong co'or accent. The hat, bag nnd shoos carry out the white navy color scheme. ? From Milgrlm. Had brakes or weakened parts of old cars are frequently blamed for these misfortunes, but Investigation has proven this Is not true. If the blame cannot bo placed on the condition of the car Itself, where else shall we look for It? There is only one other source, and tlrtu Is the driver himself. Un doubtedly most of the accidents are caused by haste. Speeding, when the way is clear. Is not so much at fault as haste to pass another car, or to beat a red light. Many persons try to save- ten minutes of time with no definite lden In mind what they will do with that ten minute* after they have saved If. Just the Idea of "get ting there" is at the hnsfs of most of our troubles/ I'oor Judgment may also be put down as a contributing cause which prompts one to take unneces sary risks. Downright recklessness is a serious fault. This spirit Of indif ference to consequences may be caused by drink or certain abnormal mental conditions. Doubtless there are some persons. from whom the priv ilege of driving a car should be taken away. The fact that in the majority of our states any person, regardless of fitness, may drive a car. In Itself presents a very fterlotls hazard. The public should at ortce bo spared the danger from Irresponsible drivers. Is the remedy for thls^enaee to be found In leglslatlAfr?

Wm^rn N?w?r>?.T>*r tlnlnn. TK* Ark and Dnr? Ship* The Ark and the Dove were the ships which brought the first settlers of Maryland to this country. The Ark was s r?hlp of ftf>0 tons burden and the Dove a pinnace of 50 tons. They sailed from Oowes, Isle of Wight, and landed their passengers at St. Marys Cltjr In the spring of 1684, after a voyags which took the whol* winter. Btj Ltjdta Le Baron Walker IT lis a good Idea for children to have small allowances. Pin money was the name given to allowances which were meant to be spent on trllles. This was when pins were scarce, and wom en wanted money with which to buy them. Pins were not considered essen tial, but desirable luxuries wlilch In dicated Incomes above the necessities of life. To have pin money was a nmrk or evidence of riches. Today with pins a com m o n . commodity and necessary ar ticles, the term "fcjn money has been superseded by that of allow ance. I have dwelt on the name pin money, partly be cause mothers can help their little folk to earn their allowances by pick lug up pins. When I was a llttte girl I was given a pen ny for each six pins I picked up off the floor, l'ins from anywhere else could not be Included. Needles counted a penny each. They were scarcer and consid ered more dangerous to have where they could be trodden on, and perhaps broken. You can Imagine how clear the floors were kept from both pins and needles, and how we children rev eled in the days when the seamstress or the dressmaker came to the house to work. Today vacuum cleaners can be damaged by gathering up pins and needles, so why not let the youngsters earn some pin money by keeping the floors free from pins and needles, and thereby help All their wee purses or banks with the proceeds of their labor? Mother* ? Helpers. Mothers can make their little folk feel they are making money an<J this Is so like grown-u In the business world, that they rathelN^Hsh the Idea. At the same time she can be getting the youngsters to help her In her housework. For example I know of one mother who used to put a penny on the window sill of each bedroom where she wanted the beds made. The penny went to the child who made the bed In the room. I can assure you the beds were made early in the day. The mother Inspected the work, and com mented on It favorably when the beds were well made, and made sucgestlons of how to Improve the ninklng when she was not satisfied. She did not And fault, but made helpful suggestions, such as telling the child how to smooth the under bedclothes well to make the spread smooth, ete. There are always some tasks for lit tle hands to do and they will be will ing hands If they get some remunera tion for their labor. After all this is one way of helping children to learn what It means to be self-supporting. It Is a method ifhleh works to the ad vantage of the employer, who Is moth er In this cpse. and the employees, who are the Qhlldren. The Worker nnd Her Work. Once upon a time when there was no depression at the moment, n great thinker, John Iluskln, wrote "NTo amount of pay can ever make a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, I or a good workman." It Is a saying I that contains an undeniable truth. It Is not pay which makes any work good, although good work Is worth good pay. Just what good pay Is de pends upon the age or era. For exam ple, In the World war prices soared to phenomenal heights. In the recent de pression prices were extremely low. Jukt now there Is the gradual return to the normal. But whatever the pay for the work. Its excellence should not be Influenced. The worker should endeavor to reach a high level of ex cellence and maintain !t. The underlying idea In the saying quoted is easy to fin>t Thore Is a per sonal equation In all work whether it is craftsmanship, cooking, carpentry, plumbing ? and so through all trades and arts. The worker decides wheth er lie will do his or 1i?t b??st, or wheth er It shall be good only when the pay is high. The crudity of making the money value the criterion of excel lence is recognized in a moment. And yet there are persons who slight their tasks unless pay Is high.

Two "courting mirrors" used by the Pilgrims when they wanted to ask young women to mnrry them are among the treasured antiques at the John Alden home here. They hang In a bedroom of the three century old house. In those days, when a young man was about to propose, he carried a "courting mirror" to her home. When he was admitted he laid It on the liv ing room table. If she picked it up and looked Into It during his visit. It was her way of accepting him. If she did not ga/.e Into it, the young swain was out of luck. The John Alden house Is the only one In existence lu which any of the 1 original Pilgrims lived.

THE BIBLE IN DINICA Though the Dlnka tribes living on the banks of the Nile south of Khar toum have no alphabet and no liter ature, the British and Foreign Bible society is translating the Scriptures Into their tongue. The translators first write down what they Imagine to be the Dlnka words for the Au thorized Version. Duplicated copies of the result are then circulated amongst the elders of the tribes who correct and criticize the manuscript a9 they think fit. Io many cases this is the tribesman's tlrst sight of his native tongue, but with the help of a translator he gradually puts it Into shape. When a tinnl agree ment Is reached, the revised manu script is sent to London for safe keeping until that day, several years distant, when the whole Dlnka Bible is ready for printing. The society has now translated the Bible into 007 languages. ? London Tit-Bits. Mercolized Wax 7 iee/>s Skin \oung Absorb, blemishes "and discoloration? using Mercolized Wax daily as dircctcd.
