NINE O'CLOCK CURFEW FOR GIRL OF 21
"I'm Cinderella Without
A Prince"
By A Special Correspondent
Hull, Oct. 15.
TDA CARTER, a small, dark-haired girl of 21. puffed at a cigarette in her home in Wassand-street, in the dock area, here to- night-and told me what it feels like to be a | Cinderella without a Prince.
!
At Hull Police Court to-day she summoned her father for assault. She told the court that her father wanted her to be in at 9 o'clock, "I wanted to stay out until 10.30," she said.

But it has not entirely solved Ida's staying out problem.
"I don't think father will let me stay out after 9 o'clock or so even now," she told me, and tears came in her eyes.

Ida smiled tearfully. "I suppose I uma. Cinderella-and there is no

Tientsin, Oct. 27. The Bank of East Hopei will commence business in Yin Ju keng's autonomous "State" on November 1, it was announced here to-day.
The bank, the establishment of which was long rumoured and Joften postponed, has a capital of $6,000,000. Its head office has taken up quarters in Tungchow and branches will be opened at Tongshan and other points in the Demilitarized Zone, The in- stitution will engage in general banking business and will be charged with the handling of Government revenues.
It is anticipated, although no! officially announced, that the new bank will issue special notes for use in Yi Ju-keng's bailiwick. The currency unit of the new "State" will be the Chinese yuan and the circula-
