Tense and weary one 10 a. m. last week Scot MacDonald boarded The Flying Scotsman. As she puffed out of London a dining car steward offered place tickets for lunch and the Prime Minister took one. Snorting swiftly North, the famed express had crossed one-third of England before luncheon bells rang. With scant appetite the leader of the "National Government" forked food mechanically. Into the diner walked a lifelong friend, Arthur Henderson, leader last week of the Labor Party which Mr. MacDonald led a few short weeks ago.

...Faraday's commemoration, all London has been floodlighted for weeks, giving money-worried Englishmen a bright diversion. In Albert Hall the convening scientists last week found a large statue of Faraday surrounded by his personal relics and devices built on his discoveries. Prime Minister MacDonald made an intercontinental radio talk in Faraday's memory, as did Sir William Bragg, Senator Guglielmo Marconi, Louis-Victor Due de Broglie, Professor Elihu Thomson. President Frank Baldwin Jewett of Bell Telephone Laboratories telephoned his transatlantic respects from Manhattan...
