You have to spend Thousands of Dollars and waste many months' time before you can travel around the world, but with Doug's introduction, it will only cost you one or two dollars and save you a lot of trouble too. All you need is to sit in relaxation on a comfortable chair and allow Doug to conduct you to trot all over Japan, China, India, Siam, Indo-China, Hawall and the Philippines to see and hear the countless strangest facts, strangest sights and strangest incidents that you'd never have a chance to see. Among the numerous thrilling, fascinating, and amusing features in this film, there are:-

(1) A Grand Banquet given by the King of Siam.

(2) The strangest and oldest dances displayed by the Siam Royal Palace dancing girls.

(3) The Maharanee of Coochbehar risks her life in a leopard hunt with Doug.

(4) Doug's fierce fight with a maddened tiger.

(5) The appearance of Mei Lan Fang, the greatest female impersonator.

(6) The wonderful trick rope performance by a Hindu Fakir.

From the very beginning of the second half Fettea Rteadily improved until, at the end they were infinitely the superior team. Loretto, however, were the first to score again after the inter- val when Barrow got over an uncon- verted try. Fettes retaliated and Kerr scored another try which again was improved. A scrum in the con- tre enabled McIntyre to get over for the home side and this time Fer- guson goaled.

The game ended with a spectacu lar try by Hunter who, starting from his own "25," raced down the field, outdistancing and outwitting his op- ponents, and scored between the posts. From this. Forguson had little dimculty in improving,
