When A Favourite

Passes To

Another Owner

She had been a faithful little car, but we had had her' for two years and our position in the eyes of our neighbours was at stake, su she had to be sold. It seemed a shame, unfair in fact, for of all the cars we owned we had loved her the best. We had loved her as one only loves one car in a life-time. She had never let us down, and in all her 37,000 miles had managed to get us home from our travels. But she was

two years old. If we could have pen- sloned her off in some quiet corner of the garage we should have done so, but that was impossible.

Raw cotton imports. for instance. totalled 738,000 piculs or twice the usual average. This is the highest since March 1932 when a record of $90,000 pieuls was set, and as far as the value is concerned, the present total of Y.37,500,000 breaks all records. A sharp increase was also seen in wool and sundry in- ports.

London, April 15. Str Stanley Jackson, the new chairman of the Test Selection Committee, played his last big match as far back as 1006, but he has been in close touch with the game during the last two years, and will no doubt see a lot of cricket this season.

Sir Stanley will go down to pos- terity as one of the finest players

that ever lived, and his record in this respect will be an asset to him.

No chairman could desire better colleagues than Mr. Perrin and Mr. Higson. They will travel about the country noting carefully the

This will be, their fourth year in succession оп the Selection Committee, and they played an important part in building up the team which was so successful in Australia.
