The wife said she had reason to complain of her husband's late hours, and when she hinted at having him watched he got angry, seized a carving knife, and, saying he would" finish her off," chased her with the knife round the garden. It was nearly midnight, and, being frightened, she did not

Mrs. Long related how one day in August, 1921, she saw her hus- band and a girl come into the Corner House in the Strand.

"I went up to them and said, 'Hallo, Bert, won't you introduce me?'. He answered 'No, go away.' I spoke to the girl, saying, 'I am Mrs. Long, and your friendship with my husband is causing unhap- piness."

The girl retorted that she would see him as often as she liked, and when witness said, "Are

you com- ing home with me, Bert?" he ans- wered, "No," and taking this girl's arm he went off.

"I went home by myself," said Mrs. Long.

The husband's counsel, Mr. Glazebrook, asked her: "Was there a letter from a man to you in affec- tionate terms which caused your husband to complain, and resulted in a row between you?-My hus- band used to open all my letters. He may have done so, but I do not remember it,

A 40 per cent increase in weight in such individuals involves an increased mortality of nearly 80 per cent. Among tall men, that is, those over five feet ten inches in weight, the adverse situation is!! even more marked. For, among them, at ages 40 to 44, a 20 per cent. excess weight carries a 40 per cent increase in mortality, and a 40 per cent. excess in weight dopb- les the mortality.
