She walked home unaided, went to bed, and died. almost immediately,

Dr. R. E. Johnson, of Lichfield, said he had searched text books, but could find no evidence of a similar case.

A post-mortem examination led tof the conclusion that death was due to paralyuls of the heart, coused by pres-} sure on the spinal cord following a dislocation of the spine.

The doctor said there was no exter- nal sign of injury, and the coroner observed that he did not think it would ever be known how the acci-! dent was caused. Accidental Death i was hin verdict.

It is receiving final touches, preparatory to housing 3,000 patients. Nineteen separate buildings are in this gargantuan unit. Italy has cut its tuberculosis death rate in half.

12 MEN GO BACK ΤΟ "BLIGHTY"

RICHMOND (Surrey).

ONE of the strangest and most enjoyable Christmas parties last year was held at "Blighty" in Richmond, Surrey.

The guests were a dozen young men from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The host was Mr. Jimmy Yates.

The party was a re-union, because each of the guests has been to "Blighty" before. It was there that Jimmy Yates made them into men.

Jimmy Yates looks after boys Mr. Yates resolved to dedicate the whom the authorities think rest of his life to making youngsters "hopeless." After a little while happy. they go out into the world 28 first-class citizens.

DUKE'S HOME AT CANBERRA

SYDNEY.

The temporary quarters of the | Governor General at Canberra are to be enlarged to accommodate the Duke and Duchess of Kent when they arrive in Australia next year.

The house was originally a sheep station homestead. A nursery is to be added to it, together with a large new dining room, reception rooms and a ball room. The cost will be

£25,000,

It was auggested that a new per- manent Government liouse at Can- berra should be bulit, but In view of the fact that the Duke and Duchess will probably spend a good deal of their time in visiting the State the less ambitious plan of enlarging the existing building has been decided upon.

It is expected that the Victorian Government will lend the State Gov- einment House at Melbourne, for- nerly the Federal Government Ilouse, to the Duke and Duchess for their use when in the City.

Future of New Guinea The Com- monwealth Government proposes to make a thorough survey of the pos- sibilities of amalgamating the Ad- ministrations of Papua and New Guinen. Meanwhile, it is not posed to select a new Rabaul, which not pro-
