PEER'S STORY OF HIS YOUTH
LONDON, November 11. ' When Lord Marks was a small boy he walked daily from his native village of Eltham to Woolwich and back, a distance of six miles, to attend school. Later he went to college and became a member of the House of Commons, and then a peer. Opening a bazaar at Eltham he recalled that when he was 13 he went to a class in a village where a man taught them tailoring and shoe making, to keep them out of mischief. "I distinctly remember making a pair of serge trousers, and I am sure I could still make a buttonhole."
