The Act, besides introducing fresh grounds for divorce and other reforms, aimed at remedying this situation. Now a a decree nisi to be made respondent is entitled to apply for absolute at the end of the statutory six months if the petitioner fails to do so.

The circumstances in which the court should accede to such a request-if the petitioner opposes it-are being questioned.

It Must Be True-The

Vicar Has Seen It

There is no doubt now that there is a 60ft. monster in the sea somewhere off Southwold, Suffolk.

The vicar of Southwold, the Rev. R. N. Pyko, his wifa, and the Rev. W. N. Welch, of the Missions to Scamen, were looking out of the vicarage window when they saw the monster moving in a "sort of undulating way" at about 50 miles an hour.

it was dark in colour, but not black, and the part that was sticking out of the water at any one timo was larger than the biggest motor-car.

The two fishermen, Ernest Watson and William Her- rington, who claim also to have seen the monster, remarked when told the news: "Now the vicar has soon it that should be good enough,"

REPLACE TRAMCARS

Is the Home Government prepared to assist financially in the development of motor vehicles which will run efficiently on motór-fuel substitutes?

There is a belief among those industrialists interested in the production of synthotic fuels, and the vehicles that will run on them, that such a possibility lies behind a plea made by Mr. Lealle Burgia, Minister of Transport.

He was speaking at a dinner in London of the Institute of Automobile Engineers, and pleaded for an engine that will run on home-produced fuel.

"I believe," he said, "there is a tremendous field for those who will turn their genius in that direction."

He pleaded, too, for develop ments in the production of motor-fuck substitutes, instanc- ing the jignite and heather-root base of certain iustor-fuel sub- stitutes now produced in Ger
