A 13-YEAR-OLD boy, remanded at Doncaster recently on a charge of stealing a Christmas stocking, was said to have won 358, playing cards with his father and aunts.

South African Ilsteners were re- Kaled with what purported to be a letter written by Hulle Selassie, the oxiled King of Abyssinia, to King Ilankon of Norway. This letter re- buked Norway for resisting the Germans, saying that King Haakon himself was a vassal of England.

See how ECONOMY has been studied and concentrated upon -- what other car of this "Eight's" accommodation gives you 45-48 m.p.g.. Look at the ROOM you get-no crowding, front or rear, ple ty of space for head and knees. This car is a GENUINE, FOUR SEATER, and is, urthermore, equipped with a substantial LOCKER to take care of a really practical amount of luggage. Notice, too, how satis- factorily the excellent designing of this car from a functional point of view has resulted in its exceptionally pleasing appearance: The low height, for example, of the all-steel body, planned to eliminate footwells or running boards, gives a grace which belies the roominess within. And last, but by no means least, consider that this modestly priced car is equipped with a system of independent front wheel suspension which gives you riding qualities superior to those of many much larger vehicles; perfect steadiness when cornering; and something like contempt for bumps, ruts and pot-holes.
