Mr. Abbott asked his Worship for leave to withdraw the charge against second defendant as there was no evidence to support the charge against him.
Complainant said that about 7 a.m. on April 16 she and Lau Kul and another woman, Chan Yau, went to the hillside near the Kow- Icon Rifle range, to cut grass. After about two hours two Indians came up and inquired whether they had been gambling. Lau Kui replied in the negative and defendant smacked her twice on
the face and ordered her to go sway. Complainant then added that the two Indians urged Char Yau and herself to go to a seclud- ed place and Noor Mohammed directed Chan Yau to go with him, leaving complainant behind, with defendant.

HEART SOUNDS BY LOUD- SPEAKER
New Aid To Medical
Science
A new apparatus for recording and reproducing the sounds a doc- tor hears through his stethoscope is described in a recent issue of "The Lancet" under the name "The Phon stethograph." A great deal of time will be saved in teaching medical students how to recognise the normal and abnormal sounds to be heard when listening over the heart and lungs now it is possible to reproduce such sounds loudly and clearly from gramophone re cords with a sort of running com- mentury by a lecturer added.
The greatest technical problem is to exclude all extraneous noise, and for the new apparatus described it 1s claimed that this has been delevea
The phonostethograph consists pr a special amplifier with four stages of amplineation, and there is a re- cording section in the circuit, to- gether with a loud-speaker and u pair of earphones.
The investigator ands the region over the heart or lung where the sounds are best heard with a stethoscope. A chest-piece is then applied over the area by means of
an elastic belt, and the invest:- gator listens in with the earphones. When he has obtained the optimum degree of volume of the sounds un- der observation, the loud-speaker is brought into operation, and the heart or breath sounds become audible loudly and clearly to all present.
EUROPE'S DICTATORS
Millionaries In Secret
Inquiries by international obser- vers regarding the salaries paid to Hitler, Mussolini and other dictators have revealed that although their official pay may be small, they are, "salting" away huge private fortunes.
C
Mussolini's official salary as Pre- mier is £1,050. He draws no pay from his four other ministerial posts.

But he has many financial irons in the fire, for he is the sole pro- prietor of the newspaper, "Popolo d'Italia," with a vast sale and steep advertising rates, owns large farms, and gets paid the highest sums in Italian journalism for any "article he writes.
SPEECHES AS BOOKS
Ells spcèches are printed in book form and it is not considered wise in Italy to refrain from buy- ing the Duce's latest works.
Hitler's salary is £4,080 a year. but he does not draw the money. being content to live on his per- sonal fortune.
This is nearly as large as Mus- solini's, for Hitler is a partner in the Nazi Party's publishing busi-
ress.
From this he derives an income
which has never been disclosed, but which must run into formidable figures, in view of the stranglehold on competition.
