To Wed, Says M.P.
WOMEN police recently found a new champion for their marriage rights when Dr. Edith Summerskill, Socialist M.P., asked the House to modify recruiting regulations,
Women police, it is claimed, have to pledge themselves on enlisting that they will not marry, or, if they do, that they will leave the force.
Dr. Summerskill asked the Home Secretary for new regula- tions permitting married women to join the force or to get married without relinquishing their jobs.
She maintained that the existing) married women in many profes- ban is one of the reasons why the force is under strength.*
Dr. Summerskill's question was the first blow in a general com- paign which is to be fought for

JOHN ROWLAND BABY OF THE CITY
THE first baby boy to be born during more than fifty years in the City Greenyard, where the Lord Mayor's coach is kept, was carried across Fore-street to the Church of St. Giles, Cripplegate, recently to be baptised.
They called him John Rowland Burbidge. His father is the Superintendent of the City Greenyard, and John Rowland was named after one of the City Sheriffs, Mr. Frederick Rowland,
John Rowland is now the youngest citizen in the greatest city in the world, the City of London, whose 9,333 inhabitants share between them a tradition of nearly ten unbroken cen- turies,
In the church in which he was baptised Oliver Cromwell was mar- ried; Milton Hes there, and so does Sir Martin Frobisher, who fought against the Spanish Armado.
Mr. Albert King, the verger, who prepared the font for the ceremony, was born in the Greenyard and was kiptised in the same font-so were his father and grandfather. Young John Rowland's grandfather WAS baptised there, too, and his great- grandfather.
And when John Rowland grows up and marries you can depend upon it that his children will be baptised in this church, which has received the City's babies these last 800 years.
YOU CAN GROW
A COALIE-FLOWER
Do you know what a coalle- Dower is? It is the newest thing in table decoration, and is spreading through England. This is how you can grow one:
Mix a small bottle of red ink (2d, size) wish three table spoons of household ammonia, two tablespoons of salt, three packets of a special powder blue, and three tablespoons- of -cold- water,
Then place four or five pieces of coal, about the size of small oranges, in a glass bowl, and pour the mixture over them.
If you stand the bowl in a warm place and add a Cable- spoon of water and a teaspoon of sali every second day you will soon have a bowl full of pretty coallo-flowerb coral- like growth.

there must be some form of geologi- cal structure, forming reservoirs for oil accumulations.
The artificial 'quakes will be quite harmless, however, and will help in the quest for oil on the west coast of the North Island..
Details of this novel oil-searching method were given by Mr. R. c. Clark, n physicist in the employ of the Standard Oll Company of Ame- rica, when he arrived here from the United States.
He will be in charge of the seismo- logical party that will shortly con- duct surveys on the North Island.
Since he graduated from the Uni- versity of Nebraska in 1027, Mr. Clark has specialised in this class of work, and with teams of scientific earthquake-makers he has traversed the oilfields of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and many other states.
The generni idea, behind the Seis- melogical work to be done is creation of miniature earthquakes by setting off small dynamite charges at various depths, he explained.
The vibrations set up by the con- cussions travelled through the earth, were reflected from certain for- mations such as limestone, and re- corded on special equipment used for that preciso purpose.
The data gathered in this way on abled him to say what geologieal structures Jay, benes in the ground
"In no sense do we discover oil," Mr. Clark said. "We merely locate subterranean structures favourable to the accumulation of oil"*
