Camberley (Surrey), Jan. 20. DARK-EYED, thirty-seven-year-old Miss Evelyn Wade, for thirteen years cook to Mrs. Keithley, Shandon, Camberley, is to marry a man she has never seen. And it all started from a blot on a letter..

Four years ago Miss Wade had a friend, Eleanor Phipps, who worked at Shandon, and wrote regularly to Lance-Corporal Mandeville Rogers, of the 2nd Royal Sussex Regiment, then stationed at Karachi, Indin.

On one letter Miss Phipps made a blot, ringed it, and wrote, “Blame the cook for that."

Six-thousand tons of gold is being moved secretly to the new vaults at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

The Treasury has called into secret assembly the mightiest armed guard in the nation's history to safeguard the shipment.

The gold, worth about U.S.$6,000,000,000 is being conveyed in about 260 cars, which, if coupled together in one train, would reach nearly three miles.

Final arrangements for the ship- ment is in the hands of Postmaster

General James A. Farley. All of the DE LUXE YACHT

glittering stuff is being sent by re-

gistered mail, de luxe. Farley is

confident of doing the job without a hitch.

In 1934 he carried in mail $2,300,000,000 worth of gold
