Church leaders in all parts of Scot- land express pleasure at the appoint- ment of the Duke, and the Lord Pro- vost of Edinburgh, Sir Alexander Stevenson, says: m is one of the most popular appointments that have ever been made, especially " this is the last divided meeting of the As. ‘sembly. The presence of the Duke of York, coupled with the fact that a, union of the Scottish churches will bei an accomplished thing, will make even more' memorable a memorable event. The Duke is already a freeman of thei city, and the corporation will con- sider what steps should be taken to commemorate his visit." Since then the position has been generally held by a member of the Scottish peerage, though when Ram- say MacDonald was in power, James Brown, Ayrshire miners' lender, acted " Lord High Commissioner. It will be the first occasion, however, that a member of the Royal House has aticnded in an official capacity since James the Sixth removed the courts to London after the union of the Crowns in 1603. In 1597 James the Sixth occupied a position as Lord High Commissioner and was also pre- sent at General Assemblies in 1598, 1600 And 1602. l Meanwhile, there appears to be some doubt as to whether the appoint- ment of a member of the Royal Fam- ily to such a post creates a precedent. ‘Announcement is Received With Pleasure and Surprise London.-The announcement that the Duke of York had been appointed Lord High Com...issioned of the Gen- eral Assembly of the Church of Scot, land was received with pleasure and surprise throughout Scotland, where) it is believed to indicate the King’s‘ approval of a union between the Church of Scotland and the United] Free Church of Scotland.

For some diseases, Dr. Hopmann finds, the statistics do not support this idea that springtime is unhealthy. They do support it notably, however, for diseases of the nervous system. There is evidence, he concludes. that mental equilibruim is less stable in the spring than at other seasons. Persons apt to lose their mental bal- ance anyway are more likely to suc- cumb in April or May. 1 There is P popular belief, world. wide IP. the temperate zone, Dr. Hop. manr. reports, that spring is a seas» of special danger to health.

Regarding unemployment, Mr. Lloyd George declared emphatically, "Of one thing I have no doubt-we shall be in the position to compel the fuiitl1mtnt of our pledge."

They first appenr in Chinese chronicles as only In 2380 B.C. when they tent tribute to the Chinese emperor. They were vessels, but always very independent, becoming stronger u the Chinese weakened, until their conquered Pe- king in 1644. But if the Manchu: are treated rather badly by. the Chinooe todar, they are merely reaping the sins Iow- ed by their fathers, Dr. Lynn points ‘out. When the Manchu: conquered ‘China in 16tt, and set up their em- perors o nthe Dragon Throne, Dr. Lynn declares the Manchus became an: arrogant race. trotting the humble Chinese with undue severity. l VERY ANYENT RACE} I The Manchu bannermen. or soldiers, were so undisciplined in their attitude toward the Chinese that the Manchu emperors tried to divert their atten- tum by persuading them to train birds and roll walnuts in their hands, di- versions still common among the Man, chug. _ Dr. Lynn estimates that the largest ‘single group of Munch!» in Pepin; to- day urns a living by pulling rick- shows, 1 very severe oeeupation.

In those days, Peking, like many cities in Europe and America, had 'tg "Chinese Quarter," even though it was the capittl of China. A SHELTERED RACE But since the Manchu emperors abdicated in 1911, the plight of the Manchus has become steadily worse. They had become saint through cen- turies of easy and protected life, and were not fitted to meet the competition of hardier Chinese. ( The Manchu: are like the famous Jewish colony in Bonn province.
