Patrick Mahon Case Most people will recall Patrick Mahon, a plausible, well-dressed criminal whe murdered Edith Kaye. The case filled hundreds of columns of the world's Press. Now many a man who imagines he is safe, practically walking in the shoes of invisibility, his ac- tions known only to himself, would be greatly aurprised if he got a peop at one of Scotland Yard's! own papers, and found there re- cords of his doings and misdo ings aver periods not only mea- sured by months but often by years. In this case the murder- er's record had appeared in print, all unbeknown to the general public, certainly for months be- fore the actual commission of the crime which made him notorious.
The fact is that Scotland Yard prints. for private circulation only, two papers, "Informations," formerly entitled "The Hue and Cry." and "The Police Gazette," in which the fullest, information of the activities of the criminal classes is recorded.

LIQUOR FOR NEW YORK _
SOCIAL AFFAIRS
While President Hoover plans & complete investigation into pro- hibition New York continues to enjoy Europe's choicest liquors.
Two offices ostensibly devoted to legitimate trade have been raided by Federal prohibition agents, who secured imported Liquors valued at £100,000. This store is alleged to be the nest-egg of a "ring" which supplies high-grade drink to prominent wealthy New
·Yorkers.
Four men and a woman havel been arrested and released on bail of £1,500 each, but the leader of the alleged "ring" was said to be holiday-making in Europe.
The Federal agents made the ar- rests after several months of inquiry, during which they found that liquor was being supplied for many biz social affairs in New York, even to one of the largest public dinners given recently, and that the "ring" made a speciality of supplying drinks at fashionable weddings.

There is

"Some years ago I fell victim to tour on malaria while making a husiness," states Mr. Ekanayaka. The fever attacks were recurrent and made me very weak. For about nine months I was trying various; medicines in the hope of getting the malaria out of my system but they had little or no effect.
"One day a little book came into my hands wherein I read of cases of malaria having been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and thus was led to try this remedy. After the first bottle my temperature in
