One of the east's largest cities boasts a woman as chief

Report says a London doctor has succeeded in "isolat-

"Trouble Ahead!" shouts a calamity -howling stargazer.
He didn't mean "ahead'," Guess what he wanted to say

their money, a powder puff and a lipstick in the heels of
their slippers because chiffon hose reveal the whereabouts
of such valuables. That's what you'd call "stepPing out
