Which ihe Employees of All Railway "Companies Might Follow. It used to be temmis, or golf, or cricket, or something just for indi- vidual and personal ' pleasure; = but that was before the war, and before, too, the extra hour of daylight. Now we dave changed all that, and the pioneers jn a great movement, worthy of being followed by the staffs of railway eompanies 'all over the kingdom, are the various depart- ments of the Metropolitan Railway, says London Answers. 2 A certain percentage had to stay at home... Railway trains, even if re- .dueed 'in number, must be rum, or else how could you and I get to and from business? But those who in the different departments were forced to remain, chafed 'at the actual doing nothing practical . to help end the war, and their views reathed the ears of the general manager of the "Met," Mr. R. H. Selbie, who formulated a splendid and comprehensive plan. In making the "War Service Corps" known to every individual as- sociated with the railway, he struck the right note im a personal letter, which said: - "You are aware that many of our men have given. their lives in the country's service, and many more are fighting and enduring hardships for her sake, and I am sure there is no Metropolitan man or woman to-day Who does not want to be able in years to come, in looking back on the war period, to feel that he or she has ren- dered some personal help in bringing the war to a successful conclusion." The seven sections embrace useful work to the taste and capabilities of everyone, including a platoon attach- ed to the Marylebone Volunteergs--or some other regular volunteer regi- ment; munition work at Neasden Goverhment factory: or \at other places where suitable work can be obtained; the formation of a detach- ment of the Red Cress Society, to be attached 'o the Marylebone Divi- sion, for voluntary duty at London hospitals, and other work in connee- tion with the transport of wounded soldiers; the formation of a market- garden at Wembley Park, for grow- ing foodstuffs for distribution to naval and 'military hospitals; a rifle club; and last,"but by no means least, a women's section. It is the market-garden plan that met with the most hearty response ofall. = The call of. the fresh air and open country at Wembley Park brought at once from 100 to 150 railway workers to the spot. The land is all virgin soil, cond hard to dig. A man has to stand on his spade to. get it well into the earth there, and it is ground that will: grow vegetable produce to perfec. tion. It was on a certain Tuesday that the scheme went through, and by the following Saturday afternoon an' acre and a quarter was ready for cultiva- tion. '"'Spuds," cabbages, peas, beans, spinach, radishes, and, indeed, every kind of vegetable, will be grown there, and the delicious fresh pro- duce goes direct to the naval and military hospitals. The company gives the' land-- station--the tools, and the seeds and plants, and, what is more, free teas on Saturday afternoons to the free workers, when lady members of the staff attend and keep the merry urns bubbling to provide countless cheer- ing cups. Silk Culture in India. The progress of silk culture in India and Ceylon is the subject of a suries of most interesting annuel re- ports issued by Mr. F. Booth 1ucker, ot the Salvation Army which bo nection with the development of this important industry. Tue latest of these reports, that for 1915-16, fis just to hand from India. In 1810 Mr, Booth Tucker consulted the Im- perial Institute with reference to the silk produced by the Salvation Army silk-weawing school in the Bengalore Distriet. A specimen of the bilk was accordingly scientifically examined at the institute. The results were high- ly favorable, and were confirmed from the commercial point of view by 'a leading silk manufacturing firm in this country, to which a sample was submitted. Subsequently the Im- perial Institute arranged for spin- ning and weaving trials of the silk to be made, and as the result of these trials certain defects in the silk were pointed out. Since then the number of Salvation Army silk centres in India and Ceylon has been greatly increased, and in April last there were 28. Nearly all these centres undertake silk-worm rearing and silk-reeling. The Right Side. Another story that General Bird- wood is fond of relating concerns his South African' experiences.
