More significant still are probably his comments on the government careers of those who have gone through college training. Party work in Parliament (regardless of the special label) still holds a strong attraction, while the "clever and cautious people" and those responsive to the prospect of administration activity prefer the civil service. For his American friends Mr. Walton suggests, however, that it "took centuries" to build the British public service tradition...
...Harvard Congress, if viewed in the light of the ovation given the Marquessa de Cienfuegos the night before, leaves the student of social progress in a rather glum frame of mind.

S. churches claiming 30,000,000 members sent electors to a meeting at the National (Episcopal) Cathedral in Washington last fortnight.

Neatly pasted on the inside of an old violin newly discovered in somebody's attic, many a musty label bearing such an inscription has caused hearts to beat faster. Most violins so discovered are fakes or "copies" made in Italy, Germany or Japan to retail at between $5 and $50. Real "Strads," violins made by Antonio Stradivari of Cremona, bring from $10,000 to $85,000. There are only about 540 authentic known Strads in existence, 163 of which are owned in the U. S., and when one of them changes hands the cat-eyed dealers and collectors...
