LONDON NEWS LETTER
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON, Dec. 30. (£>)—Lady Sybil
Middleton, who has been forced to
remove the chalet which she had
erected at the edge of Folkestone
cliff, somewhat after the manner of
the precariously perched house in
Charlie Chaplin’s “Gold Rush,” is no
stranger to unusual .experiences.
So when indignant citizens of Folk
stone tried to shove her and her im
provised chalet into the ocean, she
did not faint, but merely protested
in the vigorous manner she learned
in the Klondike many years ago.
When Lady Sibyl’s father was gov
ernor general of Canada, sihe accom
panied him on a trip to the Klon
dyke and staked out a claim of her
own near Dawson. Her first pan of
pay dirt yielded gold which she sold
for £5.
She also has traveled widely in
South Africa and during the war
served in Russia with the Red Cross.
Member of the Irish Ladies’ Hock
ey Union’s team which recently com
pleted a successful tour of the Unit
ed States have returned home with
no very high opinion of the athletic
prowess of American girls.
“American girls are soft and lux
ury-loving,” is the comment of Miss
"Winifred Drury, secretary- o>f the
Irish team. “They walk no more
than is absolutely necessary and use
motor cars to go everywhere. In
tbeir homes electric heaters keep
the rooms at a high temperature and
the atmosphere stuffy. This mode
of living tells against them on the
athletic field. They are not so stur
dy as the Irish girl hockey players.
Miss Livingstone, a member of the
team, thought it funny that Ameri
can girls should wait five minutes
for an elevator -when they might
walk up a few flights in thirty sec
onds. She said the only girls in
the United States -who seemed to
have any life were those who played
ihockey.
Another of the players, Miss Steen,
said she did not think that the young
men in the United States -were “so
well turned out” as those in England
and Ireland and that the brighf yel
low- boots worn by •every second young
man” were an eye sore.
British businessmen took a hand
in the effort to speed up Christmas
deliveries by the postoffice and to
prevent the congestion and'delay that
has been experienced in former years.
Approximately 1200 extra -sorters
and carriers were employed by the
postoffice department, bringing the
London staff to about 7,000. To co
operate with the department, a bus
inessmen’s committee was formed,
including Lord Ashfield, head of the
London Transportation company, Vis
count Burnham, for years active in
state and municipal affairs; Gordon
Sel'fridge, head of London’s largest
department store; Sir W. Peter Hy
lands, Sir Edward Stockton and oth
er noted men.
During the three-day Christmas
rush last year the London post of
fice handled nearly twenty million
packages and letters.
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson of
Texas in her fight against the efforts
to her enemies to remove the in
Jim” from the state administration,
fluenice of her huslband, ‘‘Framer
has been an outstanding figure in the
the British press for some weeks.
Pictures of “Governor M,a,” in
many poses have heen published in
the newspapers from day to day and
the editorial columns have contained
nuch interested speculations as to the
DUtcome of her struggle because she
ras “found this king business rather
iifificult.” *
On the continent also, particularly
n France and Germany, the press
s following the situation in Texas
tlmost as fully as it covered the
‘Evolution trial” at Dayton, Tenn.,
ast summer.
Queen Mary believes in useful
Christmas. gifts but this year she
l©parted from her usual custom and
mrchased a drum and a bugle for
ler grand son, Henry George Herlbert,
ddest son of Princess Mary, Vis
iountess Lascelles.
Henry George Herbert, nearly
hree years old received the presents
in Christmas morning, with the dis
inct understanding that he leave
he noise-making toys at home when
ever he goes to Buckingham Palace
*td visit his grandfather, the King.
The hearty eatens of England are
much exercised over proposals of
the chancellor of the exchequer to
impose a luxury tax on cafe and
restaurant checks which exceed a
certain amount. Restaurant propri
etors are also opposing the sugges
tion which was made first by Wins
ton Churchill himself, contending
that such a tax would be ruinous to
their business, particularly to the
wine trade.
•Cafe patrons, with the backing of
managers, argue that persons who
drink wine with their meals would
'get the worst of it all around as
they would be paying at least three
taxes on each bottle consumed—
first the import duty, second, the
restaurant keeper’s tax and lastly,
the luxury tax.
