"Still all right?"

"This time the chump was silly enough to nod feebly so Dempsey threw one from way back here and lald him out in the second row ringside,

TEST SELECTION COMMITTEE ·

"Some Disappointment

(Special Air Mail Service)

Loudon, May 18. Disappointment is being express ed in some quarters over the new Test Selectors chosen by the Board of Control.

They are Mr. P. F. (Plom) War- Neither did the sportswriter for ner; and Mr. P. A. Perrin and Mr. a couple of hours.

Who could have conceived four years ago that politicians, with as varied an origin, as, say, the Prime of the time needed to be tackled Minister and Mr. Baldwin and in a way that transcended party mynd, would have found ourselves in the same Cabinet!"

"Yet it is perfectly evident the by-elections show it-that the for- mation and continuance of the National Government command themselves to the country and are recognised as the best way of meeting the presant national need."

Taking Precautions

A man who owned a dilapidated motor-car took it to a garage for the night, and was shocked 'when' the proprietor told him the fee would be a pound.

“Why a pound?” he asked, KIT shall come for it in the morning."

"Ah," said the garage proprietor. "that's just it, will you come?
