Most of the names of the par- ticipants are familiar from the previous Round-Table Confer- ence, but there have been some additions to the original list and three of the delegates to the last conference have dled. The most notable of all the additions is the name of M. K. Gandhi, whose participation, ac- cording to the latest advices from India, is not yet definitely as- sured, however. The name of the Mahatma appears upon the list without the title and with mere- ly the initials "M. K." All three of the British politi- cal parties will be represented, as they were at the previous con- ference, The Government dele- gates will be Premier Ramsay MacDonald, Lord Chancellor Sankey, Rt. Hon. 'Wedgwood Benn, Secretary of State for In- dia, Rt. Hon. Arthur Hender- son, Foreign Secretary; Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Secre- tary; H. B.

All the British representatives are members either of the House of Commons or of the House of Lords. Besides Mahatma Gandhi most prominent among the new In- dian delegates is Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, an outstanding figure in the Indian national movement for many years. In a statement accompanying the list of delegates,, the India Office said that the date of the opening of the conference would depend upon the course of the deliberations of the Federal Structures Committee and the minorities sub committee, which are meeting in advance, Indian delegates who are not members of either committee, however, are being asked to hold themselves in readiness to reach London by the end of October. The Federal Structures Commit- tee, of which Gandhi and Pandit Malaviya are members, will be- gin its work without ceremony soon after Sept. 5. The minorities sub committee,, which also in- cludes the two Indian leaders, will begin work within ten days of Sept. 26, the statement said. NEW CANADIAN INDUSTRY 1 Canadian Factory recently completed at Peterborough, Ontario, by the large British firm of Manufacturing Chemists, A. Wander Limited, London and King's Langley, England, makers of Ovaltine and other well- known products. apprentice who had been trading on behalf of his master involved the merchant, by an error of judgement in a serious loss, His master sued him, when he had served his time, and won his case, and the lad was committed to Ludgate prison. The case came up for review before the Mayor's Court. It was clear that the mas- ter had the letter of the law of that time on his side, but the young man's case aroused com- passion, and the Mayor and Al- dermen suggested that he should be set free and be allowed to pay the amount due by small deductions from his wage The young man, however, posse sed a strong sense of justice, and he preferred to go back to prison rather than submit even to this compromise. Richard Whitting- ton, the sheriff, was ordered to take him back to prison Five months later it was found that the boy was mno longer in prison, and the master sued Whittington for the amount due, for letting the lad go free. Whit- tington put in a merely formal | defence, and did not contest the action. What had happened was that, moved by pity and impress- ed by the essential justice of the apprentice's case, Whittington had sent him forth to make a fresh start in life, He was pre- pared to pay the debt and dam- ages out of his own pocket, and did' actually do so--to a consid- erable amount, There, in a small incident, which might ever have come to light but for Major Thomas's research, they had a glimpse of Whittington's essen- tial character, Lord Wakefield observed. Richard Whittington was Mas- 1395, 1401, and 1408, and he had been commemorated in a stained-glass window in Mercers' Hall previous to the recent com- memoration. The window which now perpetuates his memory in Guildhall is behind the memorial to William Pitt the Elder, and completes the series of stained- glass windows round the great hall. The artist, Dr. Doyglas Strachan, had considerable dif- ficulty in his work, because there is no outside light, and a dark wall stands a few feet behind the window. He overcame the diffi- culty by manipulating the few colors which retain a certain purity in such a position, and employing every technical device to intensify their effect. The two upper and main lights in the win- dow illustrate an incident of 1421, when Henry V. 'and his Queen were entertained in Guild- hall by Whittington. The King remarked on the fire in which some sweet-scented wood was burning; and Whittington, in or- der to render it still more attrac- tive, is said to have thrown into the flames bonds of the value of $300,000 given by the King, who thereon exclaimed: "Happy the King to have such a subject." Whittington's courtly rejoinder was: '"Rather,, happy is the sub- ject to have such a King." Two small lights below repre- sent ships of the period sailing into London, the quay in the im- mediate foreground being occu- pled by two men handling bales and boxes, and the Whittington, by his legendary cat, is looking at the scene and dreaming of his boy Dick who, accompanied Another modern caveman, an ex-soldier, succeeded in solving the housing problem by taking up his abode in a cave on Her- sham Common, only some twelve miles distant as the crew flies from Piccadilly Circus. Profiting by his Army experi- ence, he enlarged the originally small cavern on the lines of a military dug-out, and there he lived in peace. He grew his own vegetables, and earned a few shilling to supply his other mod- est needs by doing odd jobs round about the neighborhood. Another cave-dweller, whose house was siutated high up in the Welsh mountains near Llandyssil, got as near to the simple life as is possible in these days. His clothing consisted of a single toga-like garment, woven by himself, and he relied for the greater part of his food on the small animals and birds he was able to kill with a home-made bow of mountain yew. Hig ar- rows were fashioned from the ribs of old umbrellas. Women cave-dwellers are rarer than men, But a few years ago someone found a mystery wcoinan who led a hermit-like existence in a cavern among the clifis on the north-western coast of Scot- land. After a lapse of about a year, however, she apparently got tired of her lonely life. At all events her cave-house was found one morning empty and deserted, and subsequent inquiries revealed that she had travelled south by rail shortly afterwards, Wife of Professor: Do you know, it is 10 years ago today that we be- came engaged? Professor: Heavens! Why didn't you remind me before? It is high time we were married.
