One of the pieces of china fell through a glass roof into the office above a garage in Hamilton-mews, nearly hitting a girl who was tele- phoning.

ADJOURNED.
DIFFICULTIES REMAIN TO BE OVERCOME.
HITCH OVER SUDAN.
London, Apr. 17.
Mr. The Foreign Secretary, Arthur Henderson, informed the House of Commons this morning that the statement he had hoped to make before the Easter adjourn- ment regarding the Anglo-Egypt- lan negotiations would have to be postponed.
He said it had been hoped that a complete agreement would have been reached before the House rose, but certain important points still presented difficulties and it had accordingly been agreed that, the discussions should be adjourn ed over the Parliamentary recess.
This announcement followed fur- ther protracted meetings between the delegates. They met yesterday afternoon and continued the dis cussions after a dinner given by the Egyptians in the Foreign Sec- retary's honour until long after midnight, meeting again at an early hour this morning when the decision to adjourn for a few days was taken.
The Egyptian delegation re- quested an adjournment in order to consult their Government on certain points which have arisen in| the discussions.
The Egyptian delegation stated afterwards that they thought an agreement had been reached but they found in the early morning that their proposals (which they describe as being most moderate). regarding the Sudan, were not ac- ceptable to the British Govern- ment.
Consequently, it was decided! after further discussion in the morning that Nahas Pasha should be given time to consult his col- leagues in Egypt as Mr. Henderson also had to consult his colleagues in London.-Reuter and British Wireless.

Mrs. A. K. Worsthorne, chairman of this committee, told representative of the Morning Post that the club had been in existence only since January 5, but already had proved such Д marked success that a permanent building was being secured. The membership had risen from 60,10 150, and the single room in Chel-. sea, used at present, had proved quite inadequate to its needs.
Membership, she said, was open to all female domestic servants in London, the original idea being to provide social amenities during their spare time for girls who have no homes in London. membership was confined to Chel- sea and district, but now girls from every part of London are joining. At present they pay 2s. 6d. a month if over the age of 21 and 1s. if under that age.
Lectures on domestic economy and kindred subjects are being given, dances are arranged, and a swimming club has been formed.
The club was managed by the members, who had elected their own house committee and decided Both the winter and summer seasons of 1929 have been very bad when and where dances should be held, and appointed sub-com. from the business point of view.mittees to deal with such aspects There has been a decided drop in the receipts of the gambling tables of club life as tennis and swim- ming.
