"MEN HAVE FAILED, NOT THE LEAGUE"

BUCHAREST, Aug. 12 „TITULESCU, Rumanian Foreign Ministor,

the

M. who has just won a smashing victory over the pro-German, äntl-Somitic group. In Cabinet, to-day made a clear statement of foreign policy which may have a far-reaching effect on European affaire.

Rapprochement with the Soviet, he de- clares in an interview, is the best way to enable Rumania's existing alliances to have their full value.

: This aunouncement follows the decision reached same days ago to permit Czecho-Slovakin to build a railway line across Rumanin to link up with the Russian railway system.

At the same time Titulescu denies that permission has been given to Soviet troops to cross. Rumantan territory.

"I want pence and I want it through the medium of the League," he said, "I have never based Rumania's security solely on the Covenant.

"Sile, by side with the Covenant of the League I have encluded special treatles of alliance such as those of the Little Entente (Rumania, Yugo-Slavin and Czecho-Slovakia) and the Balkan Entente (Yugo- Slavia. Rumanía, Turkey and Greece), which are within the framework of the League and are necessary complement to it.

Feel Your Head Bumps Before You Get Bumped

FEEL your head "bumps" before you cross the road; don't wait until you wake up in hospital to learn that those parts of your brain which control your actions through caution, percep- tion, and reflection are undeveloped.

One of the speakers, Mr. Calon Norris, said that there was a need in these days to train the mind to the ready use of its "choo- sing power."

"It is not the Covenant which has failed; it is the men," added the Foreign Minister, speaking of the demand for the reform of the League. "A great struggle will begin at Geneva this autumn and as a member of the international community I shall fight my utmost to end the evil which has been enured..

"I declare my faith in the League more firmly than ever," he continued.. "I want peace and to that and wo have need of alliances and friendships with all the peoples without distinc- tion.

Hollywood, Aug. 10,

Spelleman, honorary MISS Millicent Bartholomew, aunt and guardian of Freddie Bartholomew, the London boy star, to-day disclosed that her long legal battle for the guardianship of Freddie has swallowed up her life savings of £5,000.

"It Is of little use to tell a crowd of children to be careful in the streets," she said to me. "The 'bump of enu- tion' differs in every child; in many

DOCTOR ADVISES OVERHAUL AT 45

Outspoken comments on unnecessary denths before 50, and on the need for physical culture us against eports, are made by Dr. Charles E. Goddard, Medical Officer of Health for Wem- bley, In his report for 1935. Dr. Goddard retires in August after 41 years' service with the Council,

Pointing out that nearly 80 per- sons died in Wembley in 1935 in their fifth deende, Dr. Goddard com- ments:

"They had come to the end of their lives prematurely, This must surely be an admission of fallure, With the majority of them, to be able to reach middle age and yet not be able to regulate their lives so as to extend it to the seventh or eighth decade.

Death in the 'Aitles must often be preventable with due foresight in management, Everyone should be willing to take stock of their physical condition at the age of 45; have the heart and vessels carefully tested and bo willing to be gulded by their medical attendant as to le best course to pursue "

On the question of eugenics, Dr. Goddard writes: "The time is over- duo when, instead of wasting huge sums on educating people who are incapable of assimilating the higher grades of instruction, we should upend far more on physical culture,

Dr. Goddard makes a plea "for the recognition of marked intelligence combined with physical fitness,”

"With the help of phrenology tea- chers would discover which children were in need of special training in. caution."

CLERK DISMISSED. FOR MARRYING ON £180

BANK'S MINIMUM SALARY RULE BROKEN

the

The case of Mr. W. E. Notman, a Scottish bank clerk, aged 20, carning £180 a year, after 10 years' service, who was dismissed because -insisted on marrying against

Commercial Bank of Scotland's wishes, was brought to the notice of the Ministry of Labour recently by a deputation from the Scottish, Bankers Association.

The Association contend that Mr. Notman has been victimised, and that his case illustrates the need for ocial recognition of the Associn- tion as representatives of the bank clerks, and the establishment of a standard salary scale.

Mr. Alexander Kelly, general secretary of the Association, alleged that Mr. Notman was dismissed be- cause he stated his intention of getting married before he reached the minimum of £200 salary stipulated by the bank.

He said that the object of the As sociation was to have the marriage

ban abolished.

But after the treatment who became Bald Instend of Blondu Yvonne Leroy, and the Paris courts have awarded her £800 damages against the hairdresser, says Exchange.

"It was a long and very ex pensive business," she said, her hand resting on Freddie Bartholomow's shoulder, "but now it is over I do not regret the £5,000 although it was all I had saved."

Freddie Bartholomew looked quick. ly at her and clasped her hand., "It doesn't matter if all our money roes," he said emphatic- ally, "so long as Auntie and I can still be together."

But Freddie has not forgotten his -parents and sisters.

At the moment the boy star's carn- ings of £200 a week are divided in this way:

Miss Mulcent Bartholomew, who. by virtue of n decision of the Los Angeles Superior Judge, remains Freddie's guardian, does not touch a penny of the earnings.
