It is reported by Reuter's Agency that a bomb has been found in the Shah's country Palaca. According to a rumour, the bomb was placed there by the military, but thero is no confirmation of this, and a cor- tafa longfon in the relations between the Shah and the Minister of War may have given rise to the story.

Morheim and Marie Stephan both fell in love with a local hairdresser, and each refused to give the man up to the other, After frequent quariels they decided to fight a duel to the death, the survivor to have the man. The women, accompanied by seconds, went to a quiet spot and, stripping off their blouses, stood face to face, knives in hand, For some seconds they slowly revolved round, glaring into each other's eyes, and then with single thought they sprang, stab- bing rapidly. In a few seconds both were bleeding profusely, but they fought on until neither could stand, and then, in a state of collapse, they were taken to hos- pital, where they occupy adjoining
