"Jeeves, with a £250 mink coat, arrested in pawnshop
FOR twelve years Janics | Grant was butler to a com- pany director. He was a good butler, until-he made a slip. That slip earned him sentence of a month's imprisonment at Maryle- bone.
Grant, who is fifty-nine, was employed by Mr. Reginald Her- bert King, of Hamilton-terrace, St. John's Wood, N.W.
When war camo Mr. and Mrs. King left London. They puf Grant in charge of Uhe house. They trusted him. He had been known to the family practically all his life.
Then Grant ran short of money. He had to borrow from his bank manager to pay up an insurance policy.
He had other needs. He began to pawn valuable things in the house.
It was when he was about to pawn
n £230 mink coat that he was ur- rested.
The charge was that he stole, a Persian lumb coat, an enmine jacket,
a mink cont and other property worth
£350. He pleaded guilty.
Mrs. King was there to say that Grant had always been trustworthy and honest. Even now, they were prepared to give him back his job.
The magistrate said he would have to consider how to dent. with him. Later in the day Grant was in court again to hear the result.
Meanwhile Detretive Hope had been making inquiries. He had dis- covered that Grant was sentenced to two months' Imprisonment at Alder- shot in 1018-twenty-two years ago, The magistrale sold that in view
of this he could not deal with Graut the way he had Intended.
The butler had lost his chance.

of the "spurious sanctity of Harley-street" and all the evils of the profession of medicine, says Professor John A. Ryle, of Cambridge Uni versity, Physician Extraordin- ary to the King.
"Out of the catastrophe of war our chance has come," he says in an article in the Lancet. Medical training should be re- organised.
The teacher-consultant often de terlorates and his reason becomes sterilised because of the fatigues and distractions of professional life. His tenching becomes stereotyped; he omits even information, that is in- valuable,
£600 A Year
Professor Ryle ndvocates that every teacher on a hospital training staff should be paid £600 ́a year by. the Slote
and. £100 a year from
medical school funds...............
The teacher, in return, should devote half of his time in hospi̟- | tal to the care of the, sick, research and teaching. For the rest, private practice should be combined with
