Dark blaoks have resumed all their pristine importance, and they cannot be at- least to all outward seeming. In-order to emphasise their plainness, the gold ornament has been called in and there are accessories to plain day-dresses which are something between the jewel and the The large jewellery reintroduced by the Cubists has coincided with the desire for, ornament on plain dresses. The wide bracelets, which last season were so much -in vogue, have reappeared and as many as three may be worn on the close-fltting sleeve of a dark dress.

It is, however," the necklaces which are of the newest interest. These are being-made rather like the Celtish' torques. They are wide and flat. and a curved piece of gold may have a sort of fringe of small gold pieces which spread out flatly on the neck. Sometimes necklaces jnads like a.

The following resolutions were adopted: (a) -That this recognises the importance, of cultivating in the minds uf school children an interest in. rural life and an appreciation of the importance of agriculture to the "British Commonwealth of Nations, and urges that all those engaged in educational work bojth in town and country districts should do all in -their power to promote such interest and appreciation.

Count Betblen, the Prime Minister, stated that the entire Government was united in supporting this plan of the Minister of Education, and he (Count Bethlen). took responsibility for it. He said it was "not question of abolishing the Numerus Clausus, but of modifying-the principles on which the selection of the students to be admitted should be made. In this" connection the Government was seeking a solution that would hurt no one's feelings, and that was also irreproachable from the judicial' point of view. The new principles would lead to changes, but not of such an essential nature that everyone could not, be satisfied them.

It' was not to be supposed that the Government, could now increase the number of students, at once ad infinitum.

I Reniarkable New York AJAsDevelopment. FQR MOTOR TRAFFIC ONLY.

(From our own Correspondent.) New Yoek, November. New York City is' celebrating this month the completion, of one of its most remarkable engineering projects. Tho Holland Tunnels, connecting Manhattan-with New Jersey, have at been finished "and thrown open "for the public use after eight years' work and an expenditure of 9,600,000 They are for the use of motor-propelled vehicles exclusively," and connect Spring and Canal. Streets, New. York City, with and Fourteenth Streets, Jersey There are two of these tunnels, lying beneath the Hudson Kiver, where the great ocean liners pass above them.

One is for east-bound traffic, the other for west, and each has two roadways, fast passenger cars jinrl slnw. InrrieK. The tunnels are each one-and three-quarter mile -in length, and they will accommodate cars an hour, or 15,000,000 The project has been named after Clifford M. Holland, who was the chief -eneineer in charee of construction from '1919 until his death, brought on by overwork, in 1924. Only 36 years of age at time of his "appointment, he was regarded as one of the finest minas in American engineering, and with general approval the name of the tunnels was changed from New York-New Jersey Vehicular Tunnels to be a memorial to him.

He was -responsible for solving many vexing questions never before faced in" tunnel construction.

Dressing Up Children love to pretend to be (ram conductors, firemen, postmen, and other workers habitually dressed in uniform, and so the tailor-made outfits to be seen in the toy shops should be popular in the nursery. These outfits are usually shown in three sizes, and in the case of a policeman consist of the uniform, with helmet, truncheon, and belt.

The' tram conductor's outfit includes a badge," ticket-holder with supply of tickets, a bell-punch, and a cap. These outfits are exact copies -of the real thing and cost some thirty-five to forty-two shillings each, according to size. They are quite good enough for use at a fancv dress ball and make excellent play" clothes for the nursery or garden. Such things as the" tram conductor's ticket-holders are to be bought separately, however, and extra boxes, containing over a hundred tickets marked with stages, cost a shilling. It is probable that the tram-euard's outfit will be the most popular of all, because of these tickets.

When these are flashed all motors must instantly be cut off, and the traffic halts 'until the signal is given to start again. Fire Prevention.

The most elaborate provisions have been made against fire or accident. Traffic officers are on duty every little way, the traffic being controlled with coloured lights in the fashion now universal in America. Every 125 feet there are fire extinguishers, utilising a chemical foam and also reservoirs of sand. Automobiles were set on fire in the tunnels for experimental purposes, before they were opened to the pumic, and the ventilating system carried off all smoke and fumes, while the extinguishers speedily put out the flames. If a car breaks down in the tunnel' double-ended emergency truck.

Although it is originally a mineral substance, it is nevertheless of a fibrous nature, and can, therefore, be woven into fabrics and formed into boards. Its greatest virtue lies in the fact that 'it is fireproof, and, as it is a bad conductor of heat, it has great value in many household uses. Asbestos cord bound round the handles of kettles, Baucepans, and irons, will pre vent burnt fingers.

Asbestos mats placed on the stove make a safe surface for casseroles and other fireproof ware during the cooking of the food in them. Asbestos table mats are also very popular as a means of preventing hot plates and dishes from marking the table surface where a tablecloth is not used. These asbestos" mats can be obtained with charming embroidered, or otherwise slip covers. tiles, such as are used for roofing purposes, are exceptionally useful in the kitchen, as -a hot" dish or- saucepan can be placed on 1 kizc'-' ALLEGED SPIES.
