These mothers know that Castoria is safe, gentle, effective... that it is exactly suited to a child's delicate system. And children love its tastel Castoria does not con- tain castor oil.

Breach Of Promise Cases

Increasing-

So Are Awards

To "Tilted"

THE number of actions for damages for breach of promise to marry is increas- ing. The average amount of damages awarded in such cases is increasing.

The late Mr. Justice McCardie was outspoken on the subject. He once said:-

"So far from assisting the womanhood of this country by having these actions, I consider that the dignity of womanhood is lowered.... I think there is no more degrading occupation for a judge and jury than to estimate damages in such a caSO."

"HEART BALM"-£10,000

In the United States such litigation flourishes with especial sentimental virulence. Claims for damages-heart baim"-of £10,000 are common.

Sumo States, including New York and Illinois, have outlawed these suits, but their action is thought to be unconstitutional

Two unusual breach actions have been brought in the past month.

Dorn had been divorced, and Mr. and Mrs. husband admitted a promise to remarry his former wife. The case was settledt.

the

This work Miss Amme Beyers was awarded £8,000 damages against Mr. Thomas Green. For thirteen years she had believed herself to be his wife, and only re- cently discovered that his real wife was alive.

A married man cannot be sued for breach if the plaintiff knew he was married even if his promise to marry is made after a decree nini has been obtained against him and before it is made absolute.

"PUBLIC POLICY"

This was the judgment of the Court of Appeal when Miss Emily Fender sued Sir Anthony Mildmay. She was awarded £2,000 damages: by the jury, but the Court of Ap peal held that the promise made by n man still married--was void on grounds of public policy. Lard Justice Greer dissented from this judgment.

Actions for breach of promise I brought by men are extremely rare. The most recent, brought by a Mr. Love against Miss Jean Day in the Falkirk Sheriff Court, was aban- doned,

GIANTS OF THE AIR

For the first time in 18 years two German zeppelina started aloft simultaneously March 23. The "Graf Zeppelin" started first on its trial trip, after overhauling, and shortly afterwards the LZ 129 began its first passenger voyage. LZ 120 landed again after 514 hours at Lowenthal. Now that the construction shed is free, the

Quins Make A Big Hit In Their First Film

ANTICS THROW AUDIENCE INTO SENTIMENTAL ECSTASIES

THE famous Dionne quintuplets now seem well on their way to becoming America's favourite film stars. Their film--although they only appear in the last ten minutes of it--has had a preview before an ordinary kinema audience and the quintuplets sent the audience into sentimental ecstasies, states United Press.

They waddle out of scenes on stubby, uncertain legs. They crow and make baby noises at the cameraman, and "steal" scenen from each other and the supporting chat.

The story of the film is not that of the "Quins." It is of a coun- try doctor, evidently Inspired, in part at least, by the early trials of Dr. Alan Dafoe, who brought the Dionnea into the world.

Jean Hersholt plays the part of the doctor in make-up highly reminiscent of Dafoe,

Then the "quins" arrive, with his help to make the famous, and everybody is happy for ever after!
