Actually the reconciliation took place some years ago. Poet Kipling's cousin, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, presented him at a Royal Levee in 1925. By pure accident, George V was ill on the appointed day; and the Levee had to be held by Edward of Wales (officially representing His Majesty). The function was, in every social particular, the exact equivalent of a reception by the King-Emperor. Thus the story that Rudyard Kipling was not "forgiven" until last week is tosh...

And I know the 'color of his liver, and it is whiter, if that could be, than the driven snow. . . . That fellow nearly murdered my mother. . . . Foul, dirty pen . . . slimy ink. . . . Greatest living enemy of the people whose cause he pretends to espouse...

Cows. Dr. Millikan's abstractions were the exception, not the rule. Other reports dealt with some of these practical benefits derived from pure science. Francis Howard Car of England, president of the society, reported experiments indicating that the stock-carrying capacity of pastures and consequently their output of meat or milk may be increased to an unexpectedly high level. One-half an acre of grass intensively treated with nitrates for the purpose suffices as a substitute for the usual two or three acres required to graze a cow or its equivalent for a season...
