Both leaders limp heavily, the Australian because of an automobile accident, but both mask physical heaviness with the spirit which makes Premier Lyons' favorite greeting a slap between the shoulder blades and a cry to Mrs. Lyons to "make 'em feel at home!" While the President finds solace in postage stamps the Premier in leisure moments rereads Sir Walter Scott...
