FAMOUS PUTTER

CLUBS STOLEN FROM CAR

New York, Yesterday.. Robby Jones's famous putter known as "Calamity Jane will not be so facetiously named as it, together with the rest of his gol clubs, including a pet driver, was stolen from a motor-car last night. The thieves, it should be noted, did not touch other clubs in the same car belonging to other golfers.

FAMED VIOLINIST

JAN KUBELIK TO VISIT COLONY

Hong Kong music-lovers will be pleased to know that in the near future. Jan Kubelik will pay a visit to the Colony. He is book- ed to give a recital at the Theatre Royal on June 7.

Kubelik's musical tuition began at a very early age, and when he was six years old he was already learning the violin. He made his 6rst public appearance at the age of eight at Prague where a bril liant future was rightly predicted for him by those who heard his remarkable rendering of the com- positions of Wieniawski and Vieustemps. He completed his studies at the Prague Academy of Music.

In all the countries he has visited he has had great recep tions. He has received numerous distinctions from the different Courts of Europe.

Lord Birkenhead's Outspoken Views

Writing in the "Sunday Chronicle, the Earl of Birken- head asks what will happen if a Labour Government is returned at the General Election. He says:

*If I read Mr. Ramsay MacDonald afight he would rather sacrilee us own career than see the interests of Britain or the Empire-as he under- stands them betrayed. But he must be surrounded, in spite of his revent pledges, by many men, some of whom must become members of his Cabinet,

over whom his control is partial and incomplete.

"It has even been rumoured that Mr. Thomas ecathl be, persuaded, if the necessity arose, that the sceptre might usefully be placed in his own very willing hands. He would be a very interesting Prime Minister, I could think of many worse."
