THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 16, 1940

MEN STRIP ACTRESSES OF JEWELS

Constance Bennett and Anita Louise were the victims of a typical Chicago gang night hold-up when five masked men in a small saloon car forced their car into the kerb, held them up at the point of the gun, and made them hand over jewels worth £9,000.

The stars, riding in Miss Bennett's car, were returning from a charity ball.

One gunman told their chauf- -feur, "Drive north, or I'll blow your

brains out."

•

The chauffeur drove to સ side street, where the men, all wearing black masks, ordered the women out? of the car. They jerked off neck- laces, bracelets and rings, then fled.

A pair of ear-rings Constance wore were left-they were hidden by her turned-up coat collar. She Bald they were worth £7,000 alone. Richard Ainley, British actor, who accompanied the women, was forced He had at gun-point to keep silent.

£100 in his pocket, but they did not scarch him.

Constance said one man told her coat; "I gruffly to remove her fur will not," she replied. He said "O.K. Let's go."

CAROLE LOMBARD ̧

EXPECTS A BABY

stars Carole Lombard and hubby Clark Gable are expecting a baby-says Walter Winchell, the American columnist. At the moment the pair, are on a holiday-nobody quite knows where.

Well, if Carole DOES have a baby she'll know what to do with it, because when she played the part of a mother in the film, "Made for Each Other," she had to handle a real ten-day-old baby.

A woman told the London Con- scientious Objectors Tribunal that her brother, David Kandler, a motor- driver, of the Highway, London, E., was one of twins born "the wrong way round."

The arch-criminal is the madman Hitler. His egolam is insane. "Are you not aware."

he shouted at von Schuschnigg during the brutalities of his last interview with his vic- tim at Berchtesgaden, "that you are in the presence of the greatest German that his- tory has ever known?"

• REVIVAL OF DESPOTISM This revival of Despotism in great States is a ghastly denial of the Victorian belief in the steady progress of mankind towards an ever-increasing sanity, and towards larger conceptions of liberty and life. It is a moc- thekery of the belief in education as the cer-

DIFFICULT. YEARS FOR CHILDREN

It's when children start to shoot up suddenly that they need your special attention. Children who are growing fast often tire easily, get pale, listless and do poorly at school.

The trouble is that children have a double job of work to do. They use up energy in work and play and at the same time they are growing!

Doctors and nurses have re- commended Horlicks for years for children who need this extra energy. Horlicks moreover builds sturdy bone and muscle, You'll find that paleness disappears, and school-work improves. And the children seem to gain endless energy and "go." Get. Horlicks to-day

tain panacea for abysmal ignorance of the plainest lessons of History, one of which is that Despotism. is the foulest of all forms of government.

Let me quote a sentence or two from J. A. Symonds describing the state of political morality in Italy when the Viscontis, the Sforzas, the Malatestas and a host of other rumianly, cut-throat, double-crossing, lying, lecherous, cruel Despots were in their prime during the 14th century.

"The principles of public morality had been translated into terms of material aggrandisement; glory, gain and greatness. No one thought of judging mien by their motives but by their practice; they were not regarded as moral bút as political be- inga responsible, that is to say, to no law but the obligations of success,

"Crimes which, we regard as were then commended as magnanimous it It could be shown that they were prompt- ed by a firm will and had for their object a deliberate end. Machiavelli and Paolo Glovio both premise the massacre at Sinigaglia as a masterstroke of art, with- out uttering a word in condemnation of Its perfidy."

horrible

Some may ask the significance of the re- ference to the "Massacre, at Sinigaglia." It can be put in a nutshell. If in September, 1933, at Munich, the Fuehrer, after giving Mr. Chamberlain and M. Daladler the right hand of welcome and a handsome entertain- mont, had. left the room and ordered the Gestapo to rush in and polish them off, that would have made of Munich Another Sinigagila.

THE WAY TO THE END I am certain that such a thought never entered the Fuehrer's. head and that, if it had, he would have repelled it instantly, But he gave his word, intending to break it, and he put his hand to a document which he meant almost at once to repudiate: And having fooled two honourable statesmen he. proceeded to the massacre of two indepen- dent States. :'-
