Universities, Colleges And Schools Find Sanctuary In Cities Of The West
(BY AIR MAIL FROM OUR CHUNGKING ·· CORRESPONDENT) NOT ONLY colleges and universitles, but also middle schools, from the ports occupied by the Japanese, have been moving up the
Yangtze and among the well-known secondary institutions in Chung- king today may bè mentioned the Nankai of Tientsin, Fah Tân of Shanghai and the Tung Fang and YMCA, of Nanking.
To provide employment for the many teachers following some of these schools as well as to place some unattached students who have found their way to different parts of Szechuan, the National Ministry of Education has opened a number of middle schools, including a normal school for girls at Pehpel and a junior and senior high school at Hochwan.

The loveliest adventuress that ever coveted a jewel, Phyllis Brooks is commanded to steal Cesar Romero's diamond, but stealing his heart is her own idea' The result is peril-packed adventure that covers two continents and turns a desperate competition for the world's most fabulous gem Into the climax of an exciting romance.
NEW COLOUR CAMERA GETS TO WORK:
They're making a film version of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera "The Mikado" at Pinewood.
They're making it in colour and it's going to be pretty good.
Ernie Westmore, one of Holly- wood's famous Westmore brothers, is looking after the make-up. He stated that. for from revolu- tionising the art, technicolour has enabled him to revert to the old. style stage make-up which gives the best results.
LITTLE ROUGE USED Little rouge is used because the colour camera picks up the natural blush very satisfactorily.
Sometimes this camera does its) work much too satisfactorily. They had to re-take a shot the other day because it had picked up the pastel shades of the star's undies through her frock.
Westmore also said that British girls are now just as make-up con- scious as the Americans.
And they do it just as well.
MORRO CASTLE WALLS. PROVE IMPREGNABLE
The stout stone walls
and heavy cannon of the Morro Cas- tle, at San Juan, Puerto Rico. which attract thousands of cruise visitors have a record of impreg nability both in old and modern warfare.
"General Chiang Kai-shek," states the Tokyo Nichi-Nichi in a recent Issue, "is at the end of his tether.". That puts the Generalissimo precisely in the same position at the head of the Chinese force which he held when the Japanese inva→ sion started because the Nichi- Nich! itself. at the time told us 50-Shangbai Evening Post.
The North China Rural Institute, devoted to the study of rural sa- ciology and social service, partly under subsidy from the Rocke- feller Foundation, has also a sta- tion in Pehpei.
