CHINA TO DEVELOP INDUSTRIES

The China Hsin Yieh Com- pany, under the chairman- ship of Dr. H. H. Kung, with Mr. Fu Yu-ling, former Vice- Minister of Interior, as gen- eral manager, has beem founded with the co-opera- tion of many leading finan- ciers with headquarters in Chungking.

The total capital will be $12,000,000.

Branch offices will be established in all leading cities, as well as special localities.

Meanwhile, another big iron and steel company is being formed; it will come into existence within a month, with the sole aim of promoting China's steel industry, which is much needed at the present time.

Both companies have received Gov- ernment encouragement and assis-

LADY PATRICIA WARD

Lady Patricia Ward, youngest sis- ter of Lord Dudley, is to act as lady- in-waiting to the Duchess of Kent dur- ing the two years that the Duke will be Governor-General of Australia. Born in 1904, Lady Patricia is the daughter of that magnificent second Earl who, when he was Lord Lieuten- ant of Ireland, spent £80,000 in a year his salary being £20,000. By a sad coincidence, the mother of Lady Pa- tricia Ward and her sister-in-law, Viscountess Ednam, both came to un- timely death.

Rachel Lady Dudley was drowned while bathing in an Irish lake, and Lady Ednam was one of the victims of it calamitous aeroplane crash." The new lady-in-waiting has a step- mother in the former Miss Gertie Mil- lar, the famous Galety actress, who now lives at Le Touquet.
