Women in the Red army from all parts of China. Most of them entered the army as a result of various uprisings which they led or participated in. Their inain work Is in the political and medical de- partments and most are peasants, she explained.

In the Red army are two regiments of armed women in change of guard- ing communications and various lookout posts. Their education has been chiefly along politieal lines and through education and experience many able women commanders and leaders have been developed. Mrs. Chu said.

SAYS: "WON'T DEMPSEY BE JEALOUS!"

By MARGARET LANE

MAX BAER'S life is pretty full these days. His newest and greatest excitement is look- ing forward to becoming a father in a few months' time.

("If it's a boy," he said, "Oh, boy!-won't I cable Dempsey. He's only got two girls.")

Then, there's his new scheme for opening a restau- rant somewhere near Piccadilly-circus. "A smart hang- out for the sporting and theatrical crowd"-and making a permanent home in England for the three Baers.

Added to all this (and he spends his spare time looking for available premises for his restaurant) he is working 12 hours a day out at Elstree, making a musical comedy, "Over She Goes," with Stanley Lupino, Laddie Cliff, and Gina Malo, for Associated British Pictures. And in the intervals that are left-he is thinking about the coming big fight with Max Schmeling, which his manager is trying to arrange for him.

"DINNER IN BED"

"Y'know," he said, dabbing carefully at his yellow make-up, which had begun to glisten under the studio lights, “I've got so many things on hand I don't know where to turn.

"Oh, boy! Have I got a lot of things to think about? The baby, the picture, the restaurant, the Schmeling fight... Gee, I was so tired when I got home last night I had my dinner in bed.

"With a nice bottle of Rhine wine, too," he added reflectively, taking pleasure in the thought of the small luxuries a fighter can allow himself when he is not training.
