Wants To Give Away Fortune

MILLIONAIRE'S INTERESTING CAREER

Treasury officials are negotiating with a firm of Liverpool solicitors to discover if a fortune of more than $2,000,000 belonging to Mr. Ardiam Rogers can be used to re- duce the National Debt when he dies.

Mr. Rogers wants them to have the money.·

HER UNLUCKY

NUMBER

.

A Prague woman who had taken to housebreaking as means of earning a living has been unlucky enough to be caught while carrying out her thirteenth burglary,

She entered a block of flats and asked at the entrance if a certain family was at home. When told they were not, she went up to the flat and open- ed the door with a skeleton Ray.

As she entered the dark hall she was seized by a lodger at the flat who had heard her fumbling with the lock and suspected thieves.

He handed the woman over to the police, who have now traced 12 other robberies to her.

WHEN THIEF

As a result of its fine work, a eharter was granted to the Com- mittee by the National Red Cross Society of China and The Inter- national Committee at Geneva.

The Committee also woh re- cognition from the Chinese Gov- ernment by the substantial grant It received from the Ministry of Health. On the top of it all Madame Chiang Kai Sher willing. ly became the patron of the com- mitter
