RUGBY FOOTBALL.

EXCITING FINISH IN LOCAL MATCH.

Only one point separated the Army and Navy in their Triangular Tourna- ment match at Sookunpoo yesterday afternoon. Had Roberts boen able to convert the Navy's last try-his place-kick hit the post and rebounded on tho wrong side the honours would, rather undeservedly, have gone to the Navy, whose weakness outaldo the scrum was obvious.

Strangely enough, the Army for better form than wards played up wns suggested, and Trait hooked very well in the first half, no that the Army halves and threes saw most of the ball. For this reason, and be cause the Army thrres were good in combination, some attractive football was seen, though the Army's first and second tries were the result of op rtunism more than sheer skill and

REVOLVER

The Navy were not playing well at this stage, though David had got in a number of good tackles, bringing Harlow down prettily on the line. Their threes were too inclined to kick for touch, or run straight into the opposition, for much good football to develop the Army forwards niso little responsible for sume of the limitations of the Navy threen. for they followed up keenly and mingthered many chances of the Navy halves opening out the game.

INCREASE OF SUICIDE AND DIVORCE.

Both in the Preas and in conver- sation, suicides and divorce cases are nowadays prominent features of Turkish life. In many cases, sui- eldes occur among the yong under twenty.

In single school two girls took their lives within a short time, and special Inquiry was made into the psychological causes of the case. In another instance two workin
