Sellers; Buckingham Palace Guard; Eleven Nationalities at Tables in Hotel Dining. Room By A. R. KENNEDY, - Editof of the Stratford Beacon - ~Heral d 5 London; July 8.--Strange things one sees in this old city. Today in 'one corner of Hyde Park I came across a cemetery for dogs. The place allotted is filled and no bow-wows can find their last resting place in so notable a place. There were a num- ber 'of old ladies who had- pet dogs some years ago, and Queen Victoria it was who granted permission to 'have this little burying ground, and e of the wording on the tomb stones 'is worthy of a very devout human. It reminds one of the spot at Sans Souci, - Potsdam, where the gréy- hounds of Frederick the Great are interred, and monuments erected all around. It was Frederick who said the more he knew of men the more he loved his dogs. So much for dogs, with the exception of this one--one dog was shipped from New York to be buried in that little dog cemetery in Hyde Park. Ponder are very apt in the making of sales slogans and the pre- sentation of their goods. One man who has paint and varnish for sale says "Don't put it off--put it on. There is a constant price war here among merchants, so one store dis- plays the sign, "No Combine Bros." as the name of the establishment. It seems at times that one could almost buy anything without going inside a store, for London has many street sellers. Flowers, oranges, papers, shoe-strings, pencils, umbrellas on rainy days, all on the street. They tell me that rents are very high in some sections. 1 saw places around Hyde Park where an apart- ment costs about 1,600 pounds a year. Going on from there, and passing the Albert Memorial, one finds that the Albert Hall is right across the way, . This hall, as many will re member from having read the news, was largely used during the elections. it will seat ten thousand. From here it is but a comparatively short distance to Buckingham Palace, the London home of the King and Queen. It was on the iron gates at the front that the daily bulletin was posted during the illness of King George. Today there are scores of people standing looking through the iron fence. Apparently they think there may be a chance to see some import- ant personage come or go. The ex- terior of the place looks rather se- vere. Out on the walk stand the red- coated Guards. They wear those great busbies, and have a short beat which they make for two-hour inter- vals. Those standing at attention seem to do it more easily than guards seen in other countries. In Vienna it is easy to recall having seen two guards standing at atten- tion. They might just as well have been carved out of stone; they seem- ed foolishly rigid in their attitude when compared to the demeanor of the guards at Buckingham. The ceremony of changing the guard at 10.30 each morning is an imposing and spectacular business. Fine men, well set up, they perpet- uate a scene here that dates bock many years. The Scots Guards' band was there this morning, play- ing with that delightful exactness which seems to have become a mon- opoly of the British military band. They tell me that winter or sum- mer there is always a very large crowd there to witness the changing of the guards. The reason is that there are so many outsiders in this city all the time. One can see evi- dence of this in the dining room of dhe hotel. With the assistance of ona of the waiters I counted eleven different nationalities at the tables last evening. The table quite near at hand had a group from India, people of some importance I should judge. Their own turbaned waiter attends to them. The men in the party have adopted European dress, but- the ladies appear in beautifully colored gowns to the floor, and lace headgear. Others are here from Spain, Italy, Rumania, Russia, Hol- | AE Your Neighbors "I was all run-down, tired all the time and could not do my house- work.

FEARING 'WITCH FAMILY SEEK HELP * FROM POLICE Mysterious Illnesses, Spells And Incantations Alleged --Sent to Hospital Detroit, July 24.--Fear of spells and incantations which they be- lieved had been put upon them by a witch, drove a man, his wife and their five children to seek protec- tion of Detroit police yesterday. Their tale of imagined sorcery rivaled that of the Burgesses, who face trial for killing a "witeh" in Kalamazoo, and those related by the folk of the Pennsylvania jails at their famous "hex" trial there last year. The Detroit victims craft delusion are Roy Tomlin, 26-year-old bricklayer, 15016 Bramel avenue; his wife, Delia, 35; their two children, Elvina, 4, and Alice 18 months and Mrs, Tom- lin's three children by a former marriage, Evelyn, 16; Alex. 9, and Leona Brown, 8. The parents were taken to the psychopathic ward of the receiv- ing hospital for observation after they told police a horrifying: tale of persecution at the hands of the witch. The story of the spelly with al- legation of strange unexplainable illnesses, harks back to the tales told by the sturdy Puritans of Salem, nearly three centuries age. The story as related by Evelyn is that her mother was the victim of the evil eve of an old woman whom the family met when they moved in that neighborhood some two years ago. The Tomlin family saw nothing of the supernatural about the woman at first. It was only after neighbors assured them thai she had strange powers, that they took great interest in her. "People got sick." Evelyn said, 'and they blamed it on the witch. They all called her that, ' the old witch.' She could make tables move and could make broomsticks dance." Mrs. Tomlin fell ill and "one night," Evelyn said, "we saw a face at the window. Father went outside and there was a white fig- ure going down the street, He ran after it and hit at it, His hand went right through it." Mrs. Tomlin's' condition grew worse. About two months ago she went to receiving hospital, where she recovered. After she returned home, the '"witch" came to call. "She told mother, 'I've got you in my power now. Look at me.' Mother would- n't look at her, though, and then the witch spoke her spells and mother got sick again." Mrs. Tomlin shortly began to act queerly. She smashed the win- dows. She broke the radio. She refused to cook. She made the children sit cross-legged on the floor for hours at a time, Things went from bad to worse and today the Tomlins decided they needed protection, Tomlin loaded his fam- ily in his car and started for the 'of the witch- stopped. Obviously witchcraft was at work again, and in terror he sought the aid of police, who call- ed Dr. J. Frank Kilroy, city phy- sician. The doctor ordered the par- ents to receiving hospital and the children to the children's aid so- ciety. TOURISTS VISIT WHITE MOUNTAIN New Hampshire White Mountain Region Visited by 2,474,00 Last Year Concord, N.H., July 24--Reports from the United States Forest Ser- vice, reveal that the New Hamp- shire White Mountain region was visited by the somewhat startling total of 2,474,000 persons last year. The White Mountains rank- ed third among the tourist attrac- tions of the nation, following the national forests of California and Oregon. National forests of Colo- rado stood fourth in number of vis- itors. Oregon was only a little ahead of New Hampshire, with a total of 2,649,626 visitors. Even the total of nearly 2,500,- 000 does not tell the whole story of the 'summer business" in the White Mountains, for the figures only to the national forests. A great but underestimated number of travellers in the White Moun- tains do not enter the Federal re- servations. Few of the world's great think- ers were married.

Toronto, July 24.--Ancient Chi- na is coming to the Exhibition. A disciple of modern China arrived 1n Toronto to announce the coming. A. Karim Bari, 51 years of age, tall, straight, swarthy, neatly dressed and possessed of all the courteous gestures of the East, re- ceived the press in his room at the Ford hotel. With him was his friend, S. Tom, resident of Toronto for 30 years. One was Hindustani. The other was Chinese. Both talk- ed fluent English. The arrival of Mr. Bari culmin- ated one of the most interesting negotiations ever undertaken by the directors and officials of the Canadian National Exhibition. Round half the world the tall, courtly Indian travelled to under- take a 15-minute conversation with the directors of the Exhibition, And at the end of that conversa- tion Toronto had gained an exhibit that has never been out of the ur ent before and which will be in the Coliseum this year. To describe the exhibit, the man- ner of its origin must be told. Mr. Bari was born in India, but at the age of 21 became possessed of what the Indians call the "wild man'"-- roving spirit. He went to China and finally settled in Hong Kong, where he met the future Mrs. Barl. Mrs. Bari was an artist, daugh- ter of a prominent Indian family that had resided in China for three generations. The two were mar- ried and Mr. Bari entered the the- atrical business. He was well edu- cated, spoke Persian, Bengalese, Sanskrit, Hindustani and Engin. He learned Chinese through neces- sity. Wealthy In Short Time Entered the cinema upon the stage of the world. Bari heard of it and travelled to the Occident to see it. He introduced the first mo- tion picture to the Far East, and in approximately Tmo time owned 17 theatres, 20 travelling bands, three cafes and cinema distributing com- pany. He employed 2,000 em- ployees and was wealthy. In the meantime, Mrs. Bari stud- ied her art. She travelled through which China has many, but which are carefully guarded as family possessions. One day she saw two splendid paintings conceived the idea of copying them, since it is impossible to purchase a painting from a Chinese family. She obtained permission of the Chinese government and the royal family that owned the pictures. Thus she conceived the idea of copying the pictures in miniature effigies, dresses, jewels and swords. This she did but it took a long time --nearly two years to complete the handwork on the dresses. Mr Bari saw the result. He told her .she ought to do more. She did, travelling all through China and in many instances paying tre- mendous sums for permission to look at famous historical paint- ings in temples and luxurious homes. Then, one day, while the Bari family, including the two boys, now 16 and 13 years of age, were in Rangoon, some friends saw the col- China studying famous pictures of Members of Italy's Archeological Commission are here seen examin- ing portions of one of Caligula's galleys, now exposed by the drain- ing of Lake Nemi. lection. Mr. and Mrs. Bari were travelling through the East on a pleasure trip and had settled in Rangoon for the dry season. The friends conceived the idea of exhib- iting the effigies and tiny life-like models and charging an admission, the money to go to the Burmese school for the blind. Offers From World Over Offers from London, Paris, Ger- many, Italy came to the artist own- er, She decided not to exhibit, but her husband's showmanship ' in- stinct overcame her prejudices. They went on a tour, without the collection, to see just what could be done. They spent a year in England, France, Germany, Monte Carlo. Then Mr. Bari sold out his controlling interests in his theatri- cal enterprises. Now the Canadian National Exhibition officials have obtained the first showing of the collection of ancient and modern figures. - "It was just a hobby," said Mr. Bari, his teeth flashing in a smile. But I couldn't help making it an exhibition. I know it, you couldn't either. China 'is wondegful--the richest country in the world in lore. These little figures represent every dy- nasty from long before the coming of Christ. Because it wasn't for money, but only a hobby, my wife spent all the money she wanted to make these figures , perfect. It took nearly 12 years to complete the collection and it took 50 girls under the instruction of the best needlewoman in the East two yvass to make the dresses." The most famous Chinese sculp- tor created the figures, working from paintings; headdresses were made by jewelers who made exact proportionate replicas of the origin- als. Tiny swords of the finest steel obtainable grace the jewel studded belts of princes and rob- bers. Most unique of all, perhaps, is the collection which depicts meth- ods of torture employed in the var- ious dynasties. From the pictures shown 'by Mr. Bari of the collec- tion, the first instinct is to recoil, If you knew China as | so pitiful is the expression of agony it ever came out of the Orient." ¥ated this. He had just returned form a trip to China to visit nis relatives, and while there had seen the exhibit. There was nothing, he stated, in all the east to com- pare with it. 2 Over coffee and cigarettes, Mr. Bari talked of China, For 30 years he has resided there, since he was 21 years old. "] am a Chinese," he laughed. "It is my country. My little fam- ily, was born and has always lived there. My boys go to school there." His face clouded when the Rus- sian-Chinese situation was men- tioned. ' "China is just straightening up on her feet," he said. "If there 1s war she will lose five years of her new life. China is not prepared for war after internal," he paused for the word, strife. The present presi- dent has used all parties, has cre- ated the new China and it would be terrible if there would be war. "Modern China will develop into a wonderful country. No other country in all the world has the background, the wealth of old civil- ization. Before there was a white man in your country or a civiliza- tion in Northern Europe, China was wonderful. '"That's what we are bringing to you, that old China." He laughed. "And we also bring some new China. We are going to have exact effigies of the new leaders who are at present striving to bring China through the crisis." WILL INVADE U. 3.

It costs about $600 here. The Baby Austin weighs only about 950 pounds, and measures 9 feet 2 inches long and 3 feet 10 inches wide. "A careful study of the American market," said Sir Herbert, "has con- vinced us that the Austin seven, will prove a revelation in the way of a small, light, smart, fast car, with a record of 51 miles per gallon of fuel established in open competition. The Austin seven has to its credit an hour's record of 83.65 miles, and 100 miles at 83.61 miles per hour, both made at Brooklands." Sir Herbert is chairman of the Austin Motor Company, Limited, which employs 14,000 men at Bir- mingham.
