Lying invalid in his Somersetshire home of Burnham-on-Sea, George Viscount Cave, 72, felt his strength definitely impaired, last week, and executed in good time his resignation as Lord High Chancellor. The incumbent of this office is the highest civil subject in the land outside the royal family.

Shrewder newshawks stressed Mevrouw Van Eeghen's unique distinction; she was, last week, the only female member of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. To find a similar business woman in the U.
