One hundred and sixt -five men, women and children of many nationalities live here and put into practice the ideals of Christianity.

Their object is peace and brotherhood. The Cotswold Bruderhof. as it is called, began last year with only seventeen members. LONDON In the race for the occupation of London the Welsh are overhauling the Scottish. London, in fact, is going Welsh.

Londoners, having suffered the thistle for many years, must now learn to eat the leek. The London County Council health report for 1936 states tha fact.

Miller's hands, I carried congratulations to Mr. Selwyn Jones, the secretary of the London Welsh Society. "You are, at last, successfully challenging the Scots for the conquest of London," I said. Bad Thing for Wales. Mr.

Jones, gratified, remarked that it should be a good thing for London, though a very bad tiling for Wales, because the immigrants were the cream of the Welsh population.

Frederick James Tucker, forty-nine-year-old K.C.. who in 1935 defended Arthur Charles Mortimer, the "man with the glaring eyes," has been appointed a King's Bench judge, it was announced recently. He becomes England's youngest judge. He is not. however, the youngest to be appointed.

Mr. Justice Swift, whose death caused the vacancy, was made a judge at forty-six. Mr. Justice Singleton, who has sat on the King's Bcncli for three years, is only fifty.
