WHY I INTERVENED IN SIMPSON
DIVORCE
By EDWIN TETLOW
MADE my intervention entirely of my own accord as a private in- dividual. Let me say with emphasis now that I am absolutely satisfied with what has been sald and done in court.”
Mr. Francis Stephenson, the elderly London law clerk who intervened in the Simpson divorce suit to show cause, why the decree nisi should not be made absolute, made this statement after it had been an- nounced in the Divorce Court that the King's Proctor (Sir Thomas Barries) had found no grounds for intervention.
"What particularly impressed me." said Mr. Stephenson, "was the statement made by the Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell, K.C.) about the careful investigation that had been made by the King's Proctor, and the assurance given that there were no possible grounds for fiction."

Mr. Stephenson told me that he was managing clerk to Messrs. Thorp, Saunders, and Thorp, solicitors, who have offices in London-wall, Westminster, and Itford, Essex, where Mr. Stephenson lives,

“Mrs. Simpson's divorce case," sald Sir Donald, “has been tho- roughly Investigated by the King's Proctor, and he has discovered no grounds which would justify him in intervening to prevent the deoreo nisi from being made absolute,"
CO-RESPONDENT'S NAME
In his opening sentence Sir Donald disclosed for the first time that the co-respondent named by Mrs. Simp- son in her petition for divorce, which as heard at Ipswich last October, was a "Mrs. E. i. Kennedy."
Then he revealed that on Decem- ter 0 Mr. Francis Stephenson, who lives in Ingleby-road, ilford, inter- vened in the sult, alleging in his potice of appearance that'

Curls Are In Fashion For Coronation
By A Social Editress
AFTER two months of experiment, Bri- tain's leading hairdressers have evol ved an "official" Coronation season hair fashion,
Husbands and fathers of debutante daughters can sigh with relief, for the new mode is com- paratively cheap, and the hair can be set for a few shillinga. Women can be grateful, too, for the setting will take only half an hour.
The style has been arranged so that peeresses adopting it may have their hair dressed suitably for the wearing of a coronet.
Here it is in detail as specified by the experts, whose lead will be followed throughout the world: THE FRONT: Composed of a cockscomb. dressed
In an upright position from the forehand. THE TEMPLES AND SIDES: Dressed with claw
curbs with open or reveiled root line. THE BACK: Composed of large claw curls show. ing open ends and graduated, reducing the size of the curls towards the neck. THE TOP: Dressed with a slight impression of a
wave-essentially very smooth.
It all sounds very technical. but in plain language it means two or three waves in front and curls at the sides and back.
The fashion is adaptable to meet the needs of a peeress at the Coronation ceremony, ordinary evening functions, general day social occasions, and sports meetings. It is also eminently suit- able for the small hats now being worn.
COMPLETE PARALYSATION OF CHINESE PEOPLE BY DRUGS
ILLICIT TRAFFIC THAT IS SAPPING NATION
By Robert Berkov
United Press Staff Correspondent
Shanghai, Aprif 15.
Complete mental and physical paralysation of the Chinese people is monaced by the increasing inflow of smuggled narcotics into North China by Korean and Japanese agents and probably its eventual infiltration to the rest of China, campotent observors asserts.
Aside from the Chinese trafficker, there is overwhelming evidence that the Japanese national is the most sinister character in the illicit drug trade north and south of the Great Wall.
Customs officials report that each day a large group of traffic- kers, carrying sizeable cargoes of drugs, travel freely from Mukden to Tientsin and other North China points where they market their wares to peasants and shopkeepers.
