SUICIDE

"Husband Betrayed For Country"

DEA

Paris, Sept. 20. EATH has set its seal on the drama of Mme. Cridlig, the blonde beauty queen aged 20, convicted of espion- age against France.

Broken with remorse at having supplied the evidence which brought five years' imprisonment for her husband and a sentence for herself, she swam out from the fashionable pro- menade at Rabat yests day and allowed herself to drown,

A friend sald to-day:

"Her husband, a sergeant-major in an anti-aircraft regiment, would never have been tried for espionage had it not been for the fact that Mme. Cridlig became friendly with a young French army officer.

Beer Is Not A Medicine

"PREYED ON MIND"

"They went out for molor rides together, and the outcome was that she intercepted a letter from her husband to a German agent, which led to Cridilg's imprisonment.

"It preyed on her mind, although I told her that she had betrayed her husband for the sake of her country." When the news of his wife's death -EXPERTS was broken to him last night Ser- geant-Major. Cridlig said: "I knew she bitterly regretted what she had done."

Washington, Sept. 20. The federal government has formally decided that beer is no

The government held that beer is beer and mighty fine stuff, indeed, but that anybody who claims it will turn a fat lady into a slim one isn't much interested in her waistline,

The decision was handed down by in the Federal Trade commission the case of the Cereal Products Re- fining Co., Son Francisco, the Acme Brewing Co., Los Angeles, and As- sociated Distributing companies, which had plastered California with billboards saying their beer was made with a non-fattening formula. The commission said these posters niso called the attention of passers- by to the tendency of Acme beer to

"Prisoner" Cannot Go to Prison ADMISSION REFUSED'

The tangled affairs of a man who has offered to return to Walton Gaol, Liverpool, four times recently, in order to complete his sentence, but who has not been allowed to do.so, are likely to be straightened out in n day or two.

George W. Santus, a 35-year-old motor mechanie, of Blackburn-road, Oswald-twistlo, was sentenced ot Blackpool on July 23, to three months* hard labour, for alleged loitering with criminal intent. He pleaded guilty, but four days after he begon 10.serve his sentenco he decided to appent. He was granted bail and left the prison.

The Appeals Committee then ruled that the appeal could not be heard as he had not secured ball within 21 days of conviction.

Santus then attempted to return to rrison, but the prison authorities ap- parently had no authority to accept him.

MH. Singleton, Clerk to the Blackpool. Magistrates, stated that it had been suggested by the prison authorities that he should issue on- but he did other commitment not think he was entitled to do so,

Santus attempted to surrender to the Church (Lancashire) police. and they communicated with Blackpool.

The police could not net, however, as there was no commitment order in existence against Santus.

New York, Sept. 20. RE there stars in the heavens closer than any now known -hidden from us only by their dimness? Is the sky peopled with whole unknown constellatine?

Dr. C. W. Hetzler, of Yerkes Observatory, Chicago, working with specially sensitised photo- graph plates has discovered a new class of stars, whose inner hent has died down to a point which makes them invisible on an ordinary plate,

He told the American As- tronomical Society yesterday that these stars had a tempera- ture of only 1,000 degrees Cen- tigrede, instead of 2,000 degrees -the coolest hitherto, known.

Being so dim these stars must be fairly close to the earth, and Dr. Hatzler is now systematically photographing the sky to see whether there are stars closer to our solar system thon Alpha Centauri, now regarded as our nearest neighbour.
