Khr.â€" A Manchester to Lon- \ - don express train raced from Notting- , • bam to Leicester In record time recent- , , ly so that a woman «uffering from ^ mcute aprcndicitls mifht be rushed to bospital for an operation to save her * • life. * - Mrs. E. Hargreaves, of Longsight. * ., ManchesLer, was going to London for â- 1 ^ a holiday, and the express was be- » tween Sheffield and Xottinghara when » » word was hurriedly passed along the ^ * train to the guard that she had been ^ • taken seriously ill. * « Operation Ordered » A doctor examined her and said that , an immediate operation was inipera- ^ tive. ; The engine driver wa.s asked to pet t op as high a speed as he dared and he • managed to lop off several minutes. When the express reached Notting- ' bam officials warned the Leicester sta- tion authorities to have an ambulance ~ ready, and a few minutes after the train had drawn in Mrs. Hargreaves < was on her way to the Royal InHrmary. « The woman had her two children, ^ aged four and two years, with her. The babies went on, in a passenger's care, * to London, where their gx-andp?Tents , met them. 1^ At Leicester Infirmary it »;is stated that night that Mrs. Hargr'.aves' con iition was serious. Hatless Won jn 4 Ivondon, Eng.â€" A girl entered the witness-box at Westminster Police *. Court recently without a hat. , The usher asked if she should be al- lowed to take tb'. oath with her head * uncovered. ^ The magistrate, Mr. Hopkin Mar- " lis: "It does not matter. The only ♦. thing that rsncerns me is whether tak- ing the oath affects her conscience." She was then sworn. Car Thief Caught I. Salisbury, Eng.â€" Miss Tatham War- ier, -^f Marsash, was complimented by thf chief constable at Salisbury Police ^ Court recently on the part she played -^ jWhile driving a sports car in the chase sf a motor-car thief. -4 i^ She used her car to block the Salis- ...^/•-iniry-Romsey road, but the thief drove through and she went in pur.suit with y policemen in her car. ^ Miss Warter passed the stolen car " at a high speed and then blocked a narrow Romsey street. William Ed- i- -ward Thomas, who ha'l stolen the car ^ from Salisbury, was thus arrested. ^ He was sentenced to six mouths' im- prisonment. Parisians Startled Paris, France.â€" Life behind the foot- lights of the Paris music halls has just been described in a striking bookâ€" "tJne Danseuse Nue" ("A Naked Dancer") by Colett Andris. who knows •what she is writing about because she is herself a nude dancer of the Folies Bergere. Colette is a young woman of excel- lent family who went to the Sorbonne and took an honors degree. I In order to pay for her studies she decided to go on the stage, and ai>- - plied for the post of dancer in a cab- aret of Montmartre. She was immediately accepted on - account of her perfect figure, and for ' the rest of her academic career com- bined study by day with dancing naked by night. ' She tells us all about herself in her book, She pictures the glamor and the danger of lite in Paris by night, shows . us the "other side" of the curtain, tells us of the rivalries and jealousies of the dancers and their lovers stand- ing waiting for them in the wings. Paris considers it strange that a well-born, well-educated oung woman , should prefer dancing naked in a night club to following a more honorable ^ profession, such as medicine or teach- ing, but Colette likes her art, as she calls it, and intends to go her own ^ way. •• I talked to her the other day in the « library of her home. "I studied history and geography at the university," she said. "Now I am " interested more in writing and danc- . Ing. 1 am writing my next novel in tbe Mary To Go On the Air Pioneer Houses Subject of Article in America's SHeetUeart.

Colette is married to a wealthy in- dustralist with vast concerns in South America â€" M. Risler, son of a former French senator. Seamen Fight Fire Belgrade, Rumania.â€" An ovation was given to British bluejackets when they returned to Korchula, weary and smoke-grimed, from an all-night fight with a forest fire. The fire broke out in the magnifi- cent cypress forests of the Peljeshata peninsula in Dalmatia. Sailors from the British warships of the Mediterranean Fleet, which were anchored in the canal between Kor- chula and the peninsula, rushed to the scene with fire-tighting apparatus, and after five hours the flames were ap- parently mastered. Some moments later, however, the flames broke out afresh. They eventually succeeded in put- ting it out, and so saved the most beautiful forest on the Dalmatian coast. Duke Is Victim London, Eng.â€" While taking part in military manoeuvres in Herefordshire and parts of Gloucestershire the Duke of Gloucester, as an olBcer of the Hus- sars, fell into an ambush and was cap- tured by the opposing, force. Hereford was the centre of opera- tions, the Itth Hussars, with armored cars, forming the defending force against the Scots Greys. At one period armored cars raced into the main square in the centre of the town and almost at once weut into action. Women autograph hunters had re- cognized the Duke and were trying to reach him when the cars opened fire and the women hurried off. One wo- man motorist, however, chased his Royal Highness tor 10 miles and was an eye-witness of his capture in a Scots Greys ambush. The Duke w-as in an armored car which was receiving wireless mess- ages from scouting cars over a wide area. He was captured near a hotel, and the woman who had pursued him wanted to invite him to have a drink. She plucked up courage to approach an officer of the ambush party, but when he suggested that she should herself ask the Duke her courage failed. New Invention Cardiff. Wales.â€" A Cardiff commer- cial traveller has patented a road traf- fic signal invention which expert opinion acclaims as a great improve- ment on the present road control sys- tem. The new road controller consists of three green electric lights symbolizing all clear," one yellow for "caution" and three reds for "stop," in place of the three existing single lights. It gives both motorist and pedestrian a more effective indication of his traffic bearings at crossroads and makes for greater safety, while actually speeding up traffic. The single-light robot has the dis- advantage of causing approaching traf- fic to accelerate to get through on the "green," whereas three greens fading out at set intervals, the last merging into the yellow, afford a clear view of the time margin available The Ministry of Transport has com- mended the invention and inquiries have been received from all over Bri- tain.

DAUGHTER HAD CRYING SPELLS "Nerves" Brought On by Worrying AFTER KRUSCHEN "A DIFFERENT GIRL" A mother wrtes:â€" "Early this spring my eighteen-year-old daughter had a nervous breakdown. She had crying spells and fits of the blues. So 1 de- cided to give Kruschen Salts a trial, starting with a large halt-teaspoonful In hot water first thing in the morning, »nd the little daily dose in her tea for Innch and supper. In less than a week the crying spells had stopped and she began to sleep better That was three months ago. Today she is full of pep, »nd sleeps and eats well. She is a dif- ferent girl. I am still giving her the little daily dose."â€" (Mrs.) M. L. The commonest cause of depression is partial constipationâ€" an insidious complaint, because the sufferer is sel- dom aware of it. It means the gradual accumulation of body poisons which *lull the miud, damp the spirits, sap the nervous strength and lower the whole vitality. Knischeu Salts make constipation impossible. They -help the liver and kidneys to perform their natural duties in a natural way; they clear away gently, but completely, all poisonous waste matter, and ensure an uncon- taminated blooU-strcam. Therefore, it you keep to Kruschen, you need never know the meaning of melancholy; never feel "nervy" or depressed. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Drue Stores at iac and T.5o. tier bottle i Skunks Hunted In P.E. Island 7,500 Destroyed Since April 1932 â€" No Longer Valuable There is stil! a gloomy lining to Johnny Skunk's cloud and even if his I i^nie were changred he would not be any more acceptable, for there is a concerte<i effort to exterminate him from Prince Edward Eland in some such- manner as St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland. Eighteen hun- dred skunks have yielded up their snouts since the first of the year to earn the bounty paid by the Govern- ment for their exierniinatio'. from this Emerald Isle of the Western World. Pampered and fed in this once skunkless isle, the skunks were broug;ht in and placed on fur farms, the fur seeming to possess possibilities for marketing. With the slump the iTiarket disjippeared and now Johnny Skunk can't understand why he was turned loose and is now ruthlessly hunted. But his raids on the hen- houses were his undoing. Once the recipient of care and attention, he is now considered an outlaw with a price on his head. A total of over 7,o00 skunks have been captured and destroyed sines April, 1932. when the bounty was put on in Prince Edward Island, states the Natural Resouix-es Department of the Canadian National Railways. Whites of Egg3 Used Original Stucco Dwellings In an interesting article ir. "Bridle and Golfer," Professor Arthur writes on his quest of the pioneer period in Ontario. A few paragraphs are given below : The first houses were of log and a good many still remain. They are difficult to discover, owing to their coat of stucco, unless in ruins, when the st.xcture is revealed. The walls were constructed of blocks of mud, bonded with pea straw and dried in the Zg> tian fashion in the sun. So long as the roof is kept water-light these houses appear to last indefinite- ly, and their insukting qualities make them ideal dwellings in winter and summer. The original stucco, as used here in the first century, con- tained the whites of eggs, hundreds of which went into the covering of a wall. Sir Christopher Wren used eggs in th; mortar of St. Paul's; in fact, they were used in good work in On- tario within living memory. Shanty Bay church on Lake Simcoe, is the most ambitious and one of the best preseiTed mud buildings in Ontario.
