PAGE TWO MONDAY, APRIL ‘17, 1922 LLOYD GEORGE'S HOBBY IS 10 ‘SWAP’ STORIES Gave a Tea Party To 19 Ancients Who Kept The Premier In Roars of Laughter Criccieth, Wales Apr, 17.—'Premier Lloyd George is never so happy as when swapping stories about his boy- hood days with old crontes of his na- tive Wales, During his last visit here he gave a tea party to 19 ancients wit were his father's pupils at Troedyallt schoo more than 60 years ago. The sen- jor “old boy” was John Jones, 91, who still works as a carpenter. Next to Jones was William Davies, an assistant teacher under the Premier’s father, who testified to the latter's handiness | with the cane on occasions. Another guésts was John Milliams, now blind, | who used to carry love messages be- tween the premier’s father and moth- er. The “old boys” told their host many stories of his father he had never ‘heard before and all were in the best of spirits. Old John Jones made the premier roar with laughter by the quaint way he told a story of the lo. cal indignation many years ago, when a minister preached from a text which another minister had used the previ- ous Sunday, ~, .5” 6 Mr, Lloyd‘George always tries to take things, easy while here, but mem- bers of, his cabinet and. newspaper men seldom let a day go by without appropriating part of his time, ‘Getting up late in the morning, working in the garden, and listening to Welsh music are ihis chief pleas- ures during his visits, and when the weather is threatening he sits on his covered balcony wrapped in a gaudy shawl. ‘ “Tpey say,” he remarked on his last visit, “that I must go ‘back to school in a few days. They say I am playing truant. Yet they all followed me, in- cluding the newspapers, I wish they would leave me alone for at least a fortnight; it would be better for them, and certainly better for me.” CREAM COOLING BOX IS DEVISED FOR FARM U ‘With the intent of aiding farmers to get a better price for their cream by improving the quality, Dairy -Com- missionerd Robert FF. Flint has had constructed a novel device for use in cooling milk and cream on farms. A large box-like chest was con- structed, through which water will flow, and in which milk cans may be set, and in addition a can that can be used for general refrigerator pur- poses. The cooling box is now in the capitol earpenter ehop,..where it was constructed. Other types will be developed for use by the farmer. Blue- prints will be made and furnished county agents and organizations fur- nished with information on practical and cheap methods of cooling cream. NINE STATES STUDYING CHILD WELFARE WORK (North Dakota is one of nine states that have this year been studying child welfare conditions with the pur- pose of revising their legislation for child protection, according to _infor- mation received from the United States department of Labor through its Children’s Bureau. These states are Kentucky, Maryland, New York, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, and West Vir- ginia. The. Governor of Kansas has recently appointed a new child-wel- fare commission to carry on the work begun by the commission which re- portedi:to the legislature last year. Th2 Children’s Code Commission of Nprth' Dakota was created by the legislaturo of 1921. It‘ls required to ascertain the conditions affecting child life, to study existing laws re- lating ‘to children, to suggest stand- ards for administration of such laws, to make known existing conditions, to suggest improvements in such con-| ditions to the Goverror and ‘Legisla- ture and to propose new measures and amendiments to existing laws to bring about #more satisfactory situation as regards child welfare. “CABBY” BUCKS AUTO GAME Chicago, Ill, April.17.—Repealing 4]. copy-book maxim to keep his courage up, Edward Budd, the-only horse-cab driver left on the south side and one ef the last seven in the city, remains on duty despite the motor competi- tion which he says is starving the old- fashioned cabby out of existence and will soon make his a memory. “Five years ago there were about ~ 500 of us, and plenty of work for #11,” he remarked as he waited for custom- ers. “Now I am lucky if 1 make $5 @ week, and sometimes two weeks pass without bringing me a nickel, though I'm on watch from early in the afternoon until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. “When I get discouraged, though, 1 remember a saying I learned at school, ‘Perseverance overcomes every ob- stacle.’ I say that over to myself ‘some times, and then I think of school days in Hampshire, when I ‘saw ber majesty, the queen. We children stood ‘on’a bench as she passed, and her ma- jeésty stopped and pinned a white rose on my lapel.. I'll never forget that. “T’d quit driving if I could do ‘any- thing else, but I froze my feet twenty- odd years ago'in a storm that tied up all the trains. I was out alt night driving people homé who would have frozen to death if I'd stayed in and | taken care of myself. Now those same people would pass me by and’ take a taxicab.’ Mr. Budd was a coachman for 2 family of means in England before he came to America 40 years ago, and has been a cab-driver in Chicago ever since.

A committee of professors, appoint- ed by the faculty to investigate fur- ther possibilities of the radio in con- nection with college educaton, has formulated important plans. The lectures sent out to date have been those with a popular appeal.

It has great popular support, and all the in- itiative and enterprise are enlisted in the Soviet forces. In the opposition, there.is neither energy nor mpral force.” That ts the opinion brought back to Washington by H. W. Truesdell, agricultural expert formerly with the United States Department of Ag- riculture, after 11 months in the serv- ice of the Soviet government. 4 Truesdell’s views of life in Russia, however, are scarcely as glowing ~as his opinion of ‘the stabil’ty. of th: present government. “Although him- self an official representative of the “AN Russian ‘Soviet People’s Kom- missariat;” he at times was weak from undernourishment. 30 Days on ‘Cabbage And Blact: Bread “I lived for one priod of 30 days on cabbage and black bread,” he ex- pla'ns, “and for a similar period 1 had a diet of only black bread and summer squash.

ITs Tufts Engineering School Delivering a Lecture Into the Radiophone on the Left to radio lectures into regular college courses, but the desirability of at- tempting this end and the practical obstacles which would have to be overcome constitute a question for the future. Certainly fullest possibilities are worth striving for, because any meth- od which tends to make knowledge more valuable is of immense value. Tufts College’s special interest in the wireless telephone is due to the presence on the campus of the radio laboratory of the American Radio and Research Corporation, a com- pany, organized by Tufts men who have received their training in the Tufts Engineering School. The facilities ‘of this laboratory, used by advanced students in the en- gineering courses, were. placed at the disposal of the college for use in con- FARM EXPERT STARVES ce oe IN SOVIET SERVICE could -hold. .But # often found that after I had eaten all I could of this diet I was still hungry.
