Provision for Self-Advertisement.

Authorities who have in charge some of England’s ancient treasures try to discourage the habit of carving initials on these relics. A fine of sl6 was recently Imposed on a man who had chipped his name In letters six inches high on one of the stones in the “Druids’ Circle” near Keswick. Close to the giant stone globe at Swanage a special slab is provided for the harmless reception of the names of all who are addicted to this self-advertisement On popular Alpine summits names are left on cards in emptied wine bottles.
