The coat came wafting out of heaven to her while she was riding tr. work on top of a bus and virtually took possession of her. It lost her job for her, won her a lavish suite in a fashionable hotel, led her into all kinds of difficulties, and wound up by winning her a husband-handsome Ray Milland.

L.C.C. Trying New Treatment
* Ministry of Health officers are keeping a close watch on the number of infantile paralysis cases reported in Britain, following the outbreaks of the epidemic in North America, Australia, Germany and Denmark.
The outbreaks in Canada and the United States have been among the worst on record, and many deaths have also occurred in the Austra- lian State of Victoria and in Germany, says the "Daily Tele- graph."
The numbers of cases reported in this country in four weeks, taken recently, according to a Ministry of Health statement were 23, 25, 40 and 35. In the London
