Vienna, Oct. 30.

So that he may be free to marry Diana Napier, the British film star, Richard Tauber, the singer, has sued his wife, Carlotta Tauber-Vanconti for divorce on his wife's fault" in the Vienna courts.

"In many countries," said Miss Craven, corporal punishment is used recklessly without any safe- Kuards against permanent injury.

HIM ALIVE

The reptile house at the Lon- don Zoo has been the scone of flerce dispute over food.

Two cobras began to fight' over a rat and one of them became so enraged that he swallowed his rival.

About two-thirds of the awal- lowd cobra had disappeared down the throat of his adversary when the keeper arrived on the scene.. The unfortunate reptile was pulled back to safety by means of a fork- ed stick and was none the warse for the experience.

The final result of the Zoo python's effort to present the men- agerie with its first family of home-bred baby pythons in A nursery containing five youngsters. Mother anako had laid no fewer than 40 oggs and all were fertile, but there were various complica tions.

Some of the eggs had become too dry and the pythons died before they hatched; a few of the babies,agemed too shy to emerge, and others died soon after birth.

But the five survivors are strong and active and short-tempered. 1They are about 20 inches in length. •
