MADE my intervention entirely of my own accord as a private in- dividual. Let me say with emphasis now that I am absolutely satisfied with what has been said and done in court."

Mr. Francis Stephenson, the elderly London law clerk who intervened in the Simpson divorce suit to show cause why the decree nisi should not be made absolute, made this statement after it had been an- nounced in the Divorce Court that the King's Proctor (Sir Thomas Barnes) had found no grounds for intervention,

"What particularly impressed me," said Mr. Stephenson, "was the statement made. by the Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell, K.C.) about the careful investigation that had been made by the King's Proctor, and the assurance given that there were no possible grounds for action."

Curls Are In Fashion For Coronation

By A, Social Editress

AFTER two months of experiment, Bri- tain's leading hairdressers have evol- ved an "official" Coronation season hair fashion.

Husbands and fathers of debutante daughters can sigh with relief, for the new mode is com- paratively cheap, and the hair can be set for a few shillings. Women can be grateful, too, for the setting will take only, half an hour.

The style has been arranged so that peeresses adopting it may have their hair dressed suitably for the wearing of a coronet.

COMPLETE PARALYSATION

CHINESE PEOPLE BY

ILLICIT TRAFFIC THAT IS SAPPING NATION

By Robert Berkov

United Press Staff Correspondent

Shanghai, April 15.

Complete montal and physical paralysation of the Chineso people is menaced by the increasing inflow of smuggled narcotics into North China by Korean and Japanese agents and probably its eventual infiltration to the rest of China, compotent observers

asserts.

Aside from the Chinese trafficker, there is overwhelming evidence that the Japanese national is the most sinister character in the illicit drug trade north and south of the Great Wall,

Customs officials report that each day a large group of traffic- kers, carrying sizeable cargoes of drugs, travel freely from Mukden to Tientsin and other North China points where they market their wares to peasants and shopkeepers.
