Sut,—" Janus " thinks it a little anomalous that the

House of Commons should contain some seventy lawyers, but not one scientist. It strikes me as still more anomalous that, when housing is of first priority, the number of architects, surveyors and town-planners entitled to put M.P. after their names can be counted on " Janus's " thumbs. Admittedly, Mr. Bossom, one of this association's vice-presidents, may be reckoned a host in himself, but actually stands solitary. And would not the House of Lords be strengthened by the creation of peers who had some expert knowledge of an all-important subject?—Yours faithfully, G. B. J. Anion, Secretary.

The Incorporated Association of Architects and Surveyors.
