The military authorities have at last admitted that the Japanese forces are withdrawing from the border and that only a few remain.

PRINCESS

DENMARK

COOKS FOR PREPARES HER DADDY FOR

Buckingham Palace has a new cook the Princess Elizabeth.

One afternoon when the Royal Family sat down to aftenoon tea a large plate of scones was placed on the "table.

After the King and Queen had eaten some, Princess Elizabeth turned to her father and said: "Daddy, do you like those scones?”

"

"They're very nice," her father' re- plied.

"Well, I baked them," cried Princess Elizabeth proudly.

Princess Elizabeth is allowed one the hour each week to go down to wonderful modern kitchens of the Palace and learn the art of cooking.

The Queen is so pleased with her daughter's progress that soon she will permit Princess Margaret Rose to take similar lessons.
