NAZI STRIP-TEASE
ot
Lady Cleveland, widow Sir Charles Cleveland, was stripped and searched by Nazis' when she arrived with her daughter at Aachen, on the German frontier, to spend a holiday on the Rhine. While waiting at the Customs, Lady Cleveland and her daughter were asked to leave the queue and wete taken to the Customs House.
BORN IN HOLLYWOOD Verdyn was born in Hollywood, she was picked from school as a dancing double for the stars. Her Ieet have now been famous for five years.
But she does wan't to face the camera just once instead of having it always pointed at her toes. Being twenty-two. with bright blue eyes and 4 'mop of golden hair, that seems
a natural ambition.
She is not in the least-ashamed of her size six shoes.
She said to a reporter at the Dorchester Hotel, Park-lane. W.. where she is staying:
"I suppose I could wear a five, or even a four and a half if I wanted to: but I think women who cramp their feet just to be fashionable are silly. }
"Nobody likes smart shoes more than I've got about 100 pairs- but they must be comfortable, too. I can do a twenty-five-mile walk and enjoy it., which is more than lots of women can say.
"No, I don't take any special care of my feet, no more than the average woman. but I do make sure my shoes are easy, and I give today's shoes at least two days' rest before wearing them again."

SOLUTION: TOMORROW
The Scourge Of Humanity
Van
des Harden, physician
to the Government of the Dutch East Indies, stated in one of his reports that "the" coolle suffering 'from malaria appears to be lazy, whereas he is really ill," This fact Forms the basis of one of the gravest problems
governments
that
are called upon to solve in countries Infested with mala-
ria.
The coolie down with an attack of malaria feels weak and ill and consequently is unable to work at 100 per cent. of his normal «out- put. What is true of the Dutch East Indies coolle also applies to. labourers in the tropical zones of Bouth America, British India, etc. Doctor Hariharam affirms that in a malaria-ridden country the work on a plantation that ought to be done by-200 labourers really requires 300. Dr. Henry G.S. Morin in French Indo-China. has reached the same conclusion."
Tropical countries that do not take steps to protect themselves from malaria cannot maintain themselves economically in com- petition with healthy countries. In 1923, it was estimated that in Russia the number of working days lost through malaria amount- de to about 1124 millions.
In Italy. 10 million days' work aze lost annually from >>the same cause, whilst over two million acres of land He fallow, An Italian propagan- da poster states that: "Mala- Tip: In like yo
* voracious octopus that feeds on the best blood
of the people." The Malaria Commission of the League of Nations which deals with problems created by this disease, recommends as the re- mits of its investigations the short quinine treatment 23
the best "economic means for treating [⠀ malaria.
. " : In fact, the short, quinine treat- ment, as compared with old-time long cures, provides a greatly su- perior method as it consists of prescribing a daily dose of 15420 grains to be taken during 5 to days, After-treatments are not Kiven, but relapses are treated in the same way For prevention the Commission - recommends daily dose of 6 grains to be taken | during the whole malarial seasOTI.
