Vincent, in the witness-bax, de- clared that he had no intention of carrying out his threats against the policewoman, but he did think his warning to her not to interfere with the children bathing would stop her being too officious..
"I suppose I have got to take the blame for this so-called assault," Vincent went on. "It was not an assault at all. I myself was push ed, and I lost my balances, and fall nuds to save myself, and that is in to the. woman, putting out my how she got into the water."

NET-BALL

Mr. Elborne pointed out that Vincent was a sun-bathing cathy- sinst and, rightly or wrongly, he thought he was doing the right thing
In sentencing Vincent the magis trate observed-
what she was told to do. If she had "The policewoman was doing
neglected to do it, or had refused to do it, she would have been amen able to punishment or for repri mand for not doing her duty.
It seems to have been an un- popular duty, for, being a very hot day, people wanted to bathe any- where in any part, whether it was forbidden or not. Vincent ought to have known that was a forbid- den area."
CHILDREN'S CORNER.
An asset which only comes with weeks and weeks of practice, ball and body control, is that extra polish which defines the class play- er, and is always the deciding fac for when a selection committee has to deliberate over team positions for an important- match.
First (get this struight! as they say in America), on no account must you get the impression that the dexterity of your arms is the only accomplishment necessary to enable you to exercise ball control. You would be completely wrong if you did, for the ability to main. tain your balance by correct fool- work is just the difference bo- tween Buccessful and an unsuc cessful catch.
It is this spring, with the whole of the body working in close co- operation, that makes the game so good to play, and to watch, as any regular spectator will tell you.
To be able to execute this spring would be uneicas, of course, if you had failed to practise yout catch- ing, so include the latter in your training schedule.
You will attain complete mastery of the ball more quickly if you re tiré te a quiet corner of your playground or garden with a few friends, and try out the following i directions a few hours a week.
Stand in the alert position al- rendy described, and get your chums to throw balls at you in rotation. The operation of throw- ing rha ball should always be sud- den, just ́na it would be in a real game, and, of course, from various directions, so that you have to take the ball in all positions, bent forward, sideways, backwards, etc.

One lomb standa alone; An exquisite gem.
A poem in stone,

A nation to guard, Which kept savage hordes.
In their northern backyard!
Where monarchs held Court In ancient French halls, Now painting of masters
Embellish the walls.

As an example of what is being dono by the marine biologista ro sponsible for the work, we may take the addock census since 1928. The forecast in 1981 foretold prime condition and a high yield for the autumn of 1938 and throughout 1920. That in 1927 re vealed poor condition and small catches for the whole of 1830. The 1928 census declared that haddocks would be good, but not prime, and supplies average for 4031, and the early part of the present year.
