HOME OFFICE WILL NOT DEPORT.
Though undesirable night clubs in London are causing uneasiness both at the Home Office and Scotland Yard, there are no signs of legis lation being introduced to deal with
them.
Sir William Horwood, Commis- sioner of Metropolitan Police, is powerless under the existing law to deal with the problem as he would
desire,
Meanwhile a number of aliens are waxing fat on the profits they make from these so-called places of enter tainment. They can snap their fingers at the law, for in most cases a fire, not always a large one, gets them out of any trouble.

But because they are registered as clubs the police can only get into them by a subterfuge, which is a very undesirable state of
affairs
Mr. C. Leeson, the secretary of the Magistrates' Association, da organiation which has given much attention to the club question, said that the law was entirely unsatis- factory. He added:-
There is power for a magistrate to disqualify premises from being used as a club for 12 months. In the view of this association that period is too short. It should be five years. It would pay people who have equipped premises as a club to pay the rent for 12 months and then reopen, but they would. not be prepared to do this for live years.
Police As Hen About Town, Owing to the law, which gives re- gistered clubs immunity from police supervision, the authorities, when they suspect that the law is being broken, have to send policemen dressed as men about town into these clubs as casual members or visitors to gather "evidence. After wards a raid in force is planned, but more often than not the pro- prietors and managers of the 15 pected clubs get information of an impending police raid.
The Commissioner of Police has called the attention of the Home Office of the large number of aliene engaged in the night club business.
The police have recommended several alien club managers and proprietors for deportation," said an authority, but have been frus trated by inaction on the part of the Home Office," he added:
My right arm was torn near the elbow and to prevent the shark from attacking me again Mr. Smith fought it with his bare hands.
At his first attempt his right hand seemed to be torn off. I turned sick and ran towards the shore. Mr. Smith followed me, and the shak pursued him until he reached the rocks.
"We dimbed up the bank and got into the car somehow with the driver's help.
Mr. Smith fainted. We (her drove to the local hospital where the doctor dressed the wounds after giving us chloroform."
DISCARDING THE VEIL.
EFFECT OF AFGHAN QUEEN'S EUROPEAN TOUR
ALLAHABAD.
The Queen of Afghanistan, who has now returned to Kabul with King Amanullah, must again hide her charms in accordance with the law of the Purdah (veil).
But through the gauze, blue as Afghan skies, can be distinguished the smile that delighted the people of every European capisal during her recent tour.
A full week has been devoted to the official welcome of the royal couple, and the festivities have been attended by unmatched pageantry.
An element of modernity has been acquired for the country by the tour, but even the luxurious motor car and the aeroplane, used in the last stage of the homeward journey have failed to detract from the barbaric splendour of the royal reception.
