ENGLISH LORD
CLOTHES
LONDON. July 16.—One of the
latest and most popular recruits In
the ranks of those who are "doing
something for their country during
the war," has appeared in the person
of Lord Norbury, now turned the 50
years of age mark. He commenced
hls self-imposed task recently In the
fitting shop on an aeroplane works
attired In a coarse blue Calico smock
and cloth cap. Nearby the works In
a small lodge occupied by a butler,
Lord Norbury has engaged a little
slmple-furnlshed bedroom and Is
doing hls own valeting. The butler
says His Lordship is paying work
men's rent, and Is taking hls meals
with the other workmen In the genernl
canteen. Hls lxtrdshlp had put In a
few hours work and was sitting with
the after-breakfast crowd In the can
teen before being recognized by a
blue-suited laborer who then came over
and spoke to him. “How do you do
old chap, glad to meet you,” said the
workman putting out hls hand which
the peer cordially shook. Another
workman was heard to remark, "I
guess he's good enough and we will
put him flying to a thing or two If he
only shows half an eye.”
At the close of hls day’s work—6
a. m. to 6 p. m. Lord Norbury seemed
well content with his first efforts as a
laborer. “Things are turning out ‘top
hole,’ he said. It Is really very enjoy
able and there Is something noble In
all manual work. I am not at all
fatigued; I am used to hard work and
do not feel a bit tired. The other fel
lows are all quite ‘pally’ and ready to
do me a good turn any moment.” Lord
Norbury's work was well approved by
the old hands at the works. “He Is
pretty handy,” they said, “He will be
all right before long; you don't want
to tell him a thing twice, and he Is
quite a sport too. “Nobby” is the
nickname for hls lordship amongst hls
fellow workmen.
Lord Norbury says he is to be Just
an ordinary workman, expecting and
receiving no preferential treatment.
Asked If he would be able to live on
Hls wages, he replied, “Rather! I hope
to save. Why I shall be a rich man
shortly—with 54 hours a week, over
time and bonus." “No leisure time,”
he said laughing. “Just bed and
work.” “Yes, I am happy to be doing
something,” said hls Lordship, "how
ever, small and negligible. In these
days the subject’s duty is the nation's,
and If there Is one supreme and urgent
necessity It 1b that every man, woman
and child should bend all efforts to the
only great task—the subjugation and
conquest of our enemy. By all means
let us have a national register; let us
have universal service; but do let ub
have something quickly, at once, some
thing chosen advisedly and not hap
hazardly—something, in fine, for all.”

TRY OPEN AIR
CAMBRIDGE. Eng., July 1G.—Cara
bridge Is the home of the most suc
cessful hospital experiment that has
; been attempted in England since the
beginning of the war. The First East
ern General Hospital, built early last
fall, was an attempt to enlist the larg
est possible amount of fresh air and
sunshine Into the treatment of in
valided Boldlers. The wards are with
out a wall on the south frontage, being
wide open to wind and sun.
After six months' experience, the
managers of the hospital declare It an
unqualified success. Eleven thousand
English and Belgian patients have
been received from the front and from
military camps In England, with only
85 deaths—an average of 7-10 of one
per cent. This Is regarded as a re
markable record In view of the con
' slderable proportion of septic wounds,
i
tetanus, pneumonia, typhoid, and
spotted fever among the patients.

TURKISH WOMEN
HAMBURG, July 16.—Turkish news
Is In the greatest vogue in Germany at
the present time. German' papers have
just printed, as an evidence of the
growth of occidental ideas in Turkey,
a story of the increasing freedom of
women telephone operators in Con
stantinople.
Though there was the utmost oppo
sition at the start to the Idea of
Turkish women violating their cen
tury-old traditions by entering the ex
changes and "exposing" themselves to
the public, this feeling has almost en
tirely died away. To facilitate their
work the authorities have allowed
them to abandon the prescribed Turk
ihs headdress and wear a cap that
does not Interfere with the telephone
headpiece.
Women have become so proficient—
so indispensable in fact—that a
woman, Miss Osman, has been placed
in entire charge of the Stamhou! ex
change. When the telephone operators
attempted recently to conduct an out !
doors picnic along occidental lines,
however, all the old-time prejudice
arose, and a policeman spoiled the
whole affair by forcing the women to
sit down with their backs to the men.

SHIM WHILE
AMSTERDAM, July 16.—Probably
few people outside Holland have
heard of the “University of Amers
foort," which although only a few
months old embraces on its faculty
some of the most educational institu
tions in that its professors establish
their own "chairs" choose their own
subjects, and treat them as they wish.
They are bound by no official rules
and harrassed by no traditions. The
student enjoys similar freedom. He
undergoes no admission examination,
chooses his own courses of study and
completes them whenever lie thinks
lie has had enough.
Professors and students are mem
bers of the Belgian refuge colonies In
Holland. After the fall of Antwerp,
a large number of Belgian troops
crossed the Dutch frontier and were
Interned at Amersfoorl for the dura
tion of the war. The folly of keeping
together a large body of men with
nothing to occupy their time or to
break the monotony of their daily life
was at once realized. Professor
Shrijnen of the University of Utrecht
made an appeal to refugee Belgian
professors, and in January the first
term of the University of Amersfoort
was opened with a hundred students
enrolled. The first course offered was
in pedagogy, under Professor Collard
of the University of Louvain.
To the enterprise thus launched
both Belgian and Dutch professors
have offered their services generously.
The originality of the idea tempted
many of them, and gradually the
student body has been extended.

LONDON, July 16.—The statement,
of Sir Cosmo AntrobUR, owner of
Stonehenge, that he will consider the
sale of the old Druidic monument
apart from the surrounding estate, hnR .
revived the Rciieme for its purchase.
As the oldest human monument In j
England, Stonehenge has always ap
pealed to popular imagination. But
owing to the drain on the public purse
in war charities. It is questionable
whether sufficient money could be
raised now.
In 1905, the owner of Stonehenge of
that time refused $50,000 for the road
ways leading to it. which he had
obstructed. This offer was made by
the Footpath’s Preservation Society.
The new law of 1913, which enables
the authorities to prevent the destruc
tion of historic monuments, makes the
work of purchase much easier than
before. If the money can be raised,
