Her beauty fanned the flames of jealousy in the hearts of two men who love her! One tried to win the love which she so freely gave" to another and their three lives were almost ruined by the spectre of suspicion!!

This dramatic theme receives a polgnant treatment in Columbia's "Jealousy" now playing at the Queen's Theatre with Nancy Car- rail and George Murphy and Donald Cook in the principal roles.

One moment of jealousy-and a lifetime of anguish-lived in ten seconds! -Briefly, the story con- cerns the dramatic consequences resulting from a prize-fighter's suspicion that his wife is unfaith- full An exciting blend of romance, comedy and pathos makes up this film.

The belt is fashioned of inch squares of silver, hand engraved In Chinese motifs. Each square is made up of three layers of the silver, one smaller than the other and fastened together in pyramid fashion.

UNIVERSITY SALARIES

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, May 9. The emoluments or heads of British universities are a secret. The only salary officially published is that of the Vice-chancellor of Sta Andrew's University, who receives £2000 a year, writes a correspondent.

In other universities the vice- chancellorship is often held auto- matically by professors who retain their chairs or, as at Oxford and Cambridge, by heads of houses. With free house and entertain- ment allowance should say that £4000 is the highest salary of any British vice-chancellor.

This compares unfavourably with the salaries of Pubile School headmasters or

of heads of Dominion universities..

The salary of the headmaster of

Rugby is £5000. The salary of Mr. Morgan, the newly appointed Principal of McGill University will begin at £4000. It is made up of salary £2500-£3000, house allowance £500. entertainment allowance £1000.

"I cannot, answer the question, by saying "Yes,' but I am certain- Mr. ly not going to say "No." " Rebbeck neplied.

"It" is not generally realized that during the war we built a thousand airplanes. That was a war measure, but we still have the factory and we still have the operatives who constructed the

machines.

"In addition, we have an aero- drome right at the back "door of the factory.
