By virtue of all this Americanization it has now become possible for the Volstead maddened denizen of the United States to escape for a periot from tyranny at home and enjoy a legal cocktail, highball, bottle of wine, or glass of beer and revel in the exotic enjoyments of this bit of Paris in America.
While the hotels of Havana have been jammed to the roof all this winter, the Florida hotels have been reporting a slacker season than in several years.

Lord AsquithThe Earl of Oxford and Asquith, who died on the fifteenth of February at the age of 75, will always be remembered for his sterling qualities as an English gentleman of the best type, as well as for the important part he played in public life. He was of the old school of dignified and impressive statesmen who moved on the highest plane of conduct and feeling. He never spoke or acted meanly in his life. To his colleague and the natures of great politicians, he had not a trace. He was trenchant but dignified in argument. Of the petty jealousies and ambitions that occasionally embitter and spoil the natures of great politicians, he had not a trace. He was a great scholar, with a brain that, if not brilliant, was a marvellously powerful instrument; and he had the gift of eloquence. The one thing he lacked as a politician was that imaginative quality which appeals to the crowd.
There was something curiously detached and impersonal about him, and this prevented him from ever becoming a great public idol; but on the floor of the House of Commons he was supreme.
As a Prime Minister he will be singled out for three things.
He led his countrymen into the greatest war this world has ever experienced, though he did not remain in power throughout that tragic period of the nations history; when it toasted he retired in 1916 he had held office for a longer consecutive No Throat Irritation. No Cough period than any of his predecessors since the Reform Act of 1832; and for one of the most vital changes in the constitution of Great BritainThe Parliament Act, which considerably curtailed the power of the House of Lords his Premiership was responsible. As a young man he gave every promise of the success that was to be his, and before he was forty he had attained OTRD 220 monte ANAR ALTUNARODA ARTO AN varmaan na magpapaunawarm ga xu HARD Cabinet rank.

In the section of WORKMAN It pays the report dealing with the personal hygiene of troops and families, the interesting note is made that the soldier of today has, to a very large extent, given up the consumption of intoxicating beverages, and replaced them by cocoa, coffee, and other non intoxicants. In spite of the great progress recorded, however, there yet remains much to be done.
For strangely enough the number of men suffering from slight illnesses and local injuries is fairly high. In 1926 the number of working days lost through common ailments was 421, 557, as against 444, 493 in the previous year. There are thus apparently factors at work other than privation and distress which are responsible for petty ailments, and the Royal Army Medical Corps is now undertaking research work in an effort to cope more effectively with them.
Making money and saving labour.
The Royal Mint is busy turn ing out the new. 1928 coinage at the rate of about a half a million coins a day. The num ber of pennies produced this year will be over sixty million more than last year. slight alteration has been made in the design on one side with the object of making it neater and more artistic. Indeed, the new coins are among the most beautiful now in use in the world. It is not generally known that the English Mint possesses some of the most in genious machines ever invented. One of them reproduces in steel the artists design for a coin, and after being adjusted works dutifully from a large model, until the perfect re.
