Herman Goering, the spectacular Prussian premier and “strong man" of the Hitler regime, has proved that tuming unruly political fous is not his only accomplishment. He's shown, here being caressed by his lioness pai, paradoxically named Caesar. The great cat is vicious toward everyons except her master.
SAD YEAR FOR CHINA
FAMINE, FLOOD AND BANDITRY
SOUTH WEST'S FORTUNE
Nanking.
With a violence only perceptibly tliminished by modern science and organisation, the ancient curses of flood, famine and pestilence visited China during the year 1934, leav Ing death and destruction in 18 of the nation's 27 provincca.
Swollen rivers that opened up breaches in dykes and embankments,
caused loss of life and property in 12 provinces during the year, according to igures compiled by the National Famine Relief Com- mission. With Ironic inconsistency found in few other countrica of the world, flood was accompanied by drought in many of the provinces during the unprecedentedly hot summer months. Eleven provinces reported drought of duration and degree sufficient to cause serious damage to crops and loss of life stock.
Banditry in some form occurred in practically all of the provinces during the year, but in seven pro- vineen this curse, which never has been eradicated entirely, brought particular misers to the inhabit- ants and resulted in costly dis location of ordinary trade and commerce.
