"It is essential that she shall not be disturbed. I do not want ber to be worried." Sir John is an adherent of the Eng- lish Church, and Miss de Solo's family of strict orthodo c Jewish faith.

Now, for his success, he has been presented with the Duke of Con- naught's medal by the Due himself, for qualities "which are the founda- tions of true citizenship." King George's Secret Ban About Victoria's Letters L-ondpn, Eng.—It is understood that the reason for the warning issued from Buckingham Palace concerning the copyright of documents addressed to the King is that surviving members of Queen Victoria's family object to cer- tain letters concerning her being pub- lished.

They will go wliere the men are," said Councillor W. R. Lee, during a discussion recently which ended in the Barry Council deciding not to ac - sept the proposed beach restriction re- garding undressing in limited areas at Whitmore Bay.

Crab Blockade Melbourne, Australia. — Millions of giant crabs have appeared along the coast of the State of Victoria causing great havoc in the fishing industry. The invasion is the most remarkable of its kind ever known. The crabs reached practically all the inlets round the coast and across the Bass Strait to Flinders Island. They measure from two to five feet recross with their claws extended. They are lying three feet deep on the sea bed at some points. Fishermen believe them to be a species of the giant'Japan- ese crabs, which grow up to 10 feet. Experts consider they are of the giant Australian spider crab variety, The crabs are clearing the seabed of all other natural life and smashing fisher- men's nets. In some places flounder fishing has entirely ceased and the fishermen are losing thousands of pounds weekly. The crabs are pear-shaped and of a light strawberry color. They are in- edible. The Fishermen's League is urging the Government to use launches to haul big rollers out into the sea to crush the crabs. The appointment of a marine biologist to investigate the plague is also recommended,. New Soap Works Manchester, Eng,—The big new Soap works of Messrs.

If the new venture secceeds,.the ships bring- ing the cattle will be loaded with 'South Wales aaednets fol the Cana- dian market, Twins Inseparable London.—Not even the army will' divide the "inseparable twins" of liri- tain's aristocracy --the Earl of Hope town and Lord John Adrian Hope— who have just been jointly gazetted' as second lieutenants in the Scots Guards.

Destroy Ants by Tire Gas Washington.—Automobile tires are being used to destroy Brazilian ants. Farmers in that great agricultural nation have discovered that burning automobile tires give off carbonic acid gas, Reports from Rio de Janeiro ex- plain that the gas is placed in come mon bellows and injected into ant hills. Hundreds of insects are ex- terminated. Fortunately, they are found to be excellent food for fowls as the gas does not bother the poul- try. It is estimated that some 50 per cent of Brazil's agricultural produc- tion is destroyed by insects. The Na- tional Society of Agriculture is said to be giving serious attention to a nation-wide campaign against the pests.

This step, taken by employers in the heavy and affiliated industries, is regarded as significant not only be- cause e-cause the influence of such a powerful organization must affect other organ- izations throughout Germany, but also because particularly in the heavy in- dustries the question of working hours has been much disputed during many years past. Since this resolution for reduction of hours says nothing regarding wages, it is assumed that reduced hours will involve reduced pay also, so that although the number employed is increased, from the viewpoint of increased purchasing power of the nation, success is not likely to be ap- preciable.

Chaff Business is like flying—you have to keep moving to stay up. A hen doesn't stop scratching when worms are scarce. Watching the parade from the curb never made a leader. The man who is guilty of sharp trades will find his business growing dull. If business waited for the "right time" there would be no business. If somebody else is doing your thinking, you are probably doing someone else's work. Speaking straight from the shoulder is usually done by a man who does not use anything higher up. Never meddle with a hornet, or a man who is minding his own business. Radio singers should practice what they screech.
