We understand that a Member of Parliament will shortly ask for a day to be set aside to inquire into the conduct of Mr. PHILIP SNOWDEN, who is reported to have recently shown marked pro-British tendencies. *** In view of the attitude taken up by _The Daily Express_ against Sir ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, on the question of "spooks," we understand that the celebrated author, who has long contemplated the final death of _Sherlock Holmes_, has arranged that the famous detective shall one day be found dead with a copy of _The Daily Express_ in his hand. *** A customer, we are told, may take his own buns into a public eating-house, but the proprietor must register them. In view of the growing habit of pinching food, the pre-war custom of chaining them to the umbrella-stand is no longer regarded as safe. * * * * * [Illustration: THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.
