WIFE GIVEN £100,000
She Has Her Own Harbour
NEW YORK.
A £100,000 dream home built to please the richest girl in the world by a hus- band who fell in love with her at first sight was com- pleted recently.
It is in Honolulu and in the home his of Mr. James Cromwell and twenty-six-year-old wife, formerly Miss Doris Duke, whose dally in- £30,000,000 come, on heiress to a tobacco fortune, is £1,000,
The building has taken two years and the result is described as partly a Roman emperor's villa, partly t Greek temple, with a dash 赠别 Spanish castle and a hint of a French chateau; the whole constituting-some sort of Hollywood super-set.

Doctors Dread After Crisis Revolution
Dangers of internal upheaval may scrompany the rudden removal of the emotionat strain produced by a threat of war.
This is a medical view in a leading article in "The Lancet" reviewing the end of the criols.
"We had all been keyed up," says the article, "to defending against a tyrant a country with ideals like those for which our ancestors had fought.
"But now, nearly everything the tyrant asked for had been alven to him and a fact of friendship with han had been signed,
"Were we mad before, or are we guilty now? "No amount of rellet frmo external danger can do away with this new source of pain. We now face a new -crisis--an internal one-that of not knowing whom we
trust or whom we hate.
"When war averted, after hatred and fear have been aroused, the impulse to destruction tends to turn
back on the self.
"In communities this leads to despair and promotes revolution, and in countries where violent emotions have been induced but not translated into action, great vigi- lance may be needed to prevent the anger of disillusion- iment from producing an internal upheaval,"
