DY RONALD ALLAN,

Schooldaya and nicknames acem to be inseparably associated. To me, a good deal of the charm of Kipling's "Stalky & Co." is due to the intimate atmosphere created by the use of nicknames which have the genuine schoolboyläh: 'ring about them.

An active mind is always ready to pounce upon anything topical! if it will supply a nickname. In this connection I heard a boy, with strong resemblance to the origin- al, being addressed as "Gandhi." Years ago that boy would prob. ably have been "Specky." An American periodical must accept the responsibility for the hundreds of "Buster" Browns.

YOUTH'S HORRIBLE CRIME

SLEW EMPLOYER WITH AXE

TOOK GIRL TO CINEMA

FTER having suddenly with- drawn bls plea of "Not Guilty" and pleaded "Güllty" to the murder of Dudley Hoard, manager of the Palaco Cinema, Bow, E., John Frederick Stockwell, 19, an attend- ant at the cinema, was sentenced to death at Old Bailey.

"I am deeply sorry for this tra- gedy," said Stockwell when the Jury had formally found him Guilty,

· Mr. Justlee Goddard, passing son- tence, said: "If any ray of light is to be found in this dark and tragic story, it is that by your con- fession, and the course you are now taking, you are showing some rs- morse for a crime na terrible as any recorded even in the grim annals of this couri”.

When the trial began Stockwell's plea was one of "Not guilty." and Mr. G. B. McClure opened the case for the prosecution.

On the morning of August 7, he sald, Hoard was found at the inema, where he lived with his wife, unconscious. Terrible in- jurles had been inflicted on his hend with some weapon like an axe.

About £89 was found missing from the safe. Stockwell was 17- reated at Yarmouth, and, in a state. ment to the police, told how went to the cinema with an axe beneath his cont.

"I went to the flat and rang the bell," went on the statement, and Mr. Hoard came to the door. I asked him if I might look for a ten- shiling note, and he said, 'Certain ly."
