(JP) The tourist who carries his fish-pole loosely strapped to the side of his car is the object of no little attention by traffic bureau officials here. Careful tying of the line and removal of the hook entirely while in transit is being urged. The move is prompted by a recent accident in which Miss Esther Wagner suffered painful injuries when she was caught by a traveling fishhook.

Oct. 4. VP) The right of inheritance in China will be extended to the daughters of the family whether they are married or single, according to a decision reached at a recent meeting of the Judical Department of the Nationalist government. This is primarily intended to help rid the country of the ancient idea that daughters are more of a nuisance than a help. Since time immemorial, girl babies have not been welcome in the average Chinese family.

Dauehters were seldom permitted to share in the family fortune while married daughters were always left out of consideration. Lup Tested He didn't try to stop the argument; he spoke scarcely a word, but just listened. Every time one of the enraged men made a pass at the other, the "bobby" quietly pushed him back before the blow could land. This went on for several minutes, the "bobby" listening first to one and then to the other, and blocking blows. Suddenly, when an opportune moment arrived, he pushed the two men apart with, "That's all; off you go." The two men looked at him rather startled and then without a word started away.

The policeman waved at the crowd and it immediately dissolved. This is a typical example of the way the police in England handle situations. The Briton, be it known, is a great respecter of the "bobby." English police, as a whole, go unarmed, except for a small truncheon which is carried in a pocket. Firearms are not carried except in rare instances. The police don't need them for the average job.

Shanghai, Oct. 4. (Pi According to well authenticated gossip in Shanghai's Russian circle, one of the crown jewels of the Romanoff's, a diamond brooch, is being peddled from shop to shop here by a Soviet agent. Owing to its great value, no purchaser has been found. The major slone, a diamond of ICO carats, is valued at $250,000 and the entire piece without reference to its intrinsic value should bring not less than half a million.

The agent is said to have offered the big diamond for less than but even at this price there have been no takers. Judging from reports, the agent has been in Shanghai for several BOSS' JOB A DEMOTION Austin, Texas. Oct. 4.

Your progress from the opening of your tri.il to the scaffold will consume a period of from three weeks end three minutes to three weeks and perhaps two days; the three weeks represent the time granted you by law for solitary reflection after conviction, while waiting for the warden's call to a 6-foot drop.

Murder trials have begun and concluded in three minutes in England. That was where the prisoner pleaded guilty. The English courts accept this plea, whereas in some commonwealths in the United States an accused is not allowed to plead guilty. Not only capital cases, but all manner of crimes and civil suits are readied with the same speed, and paternalism exercised by the bench in England is in no small degree responsible for this. In Britain a judge doesn't hesitate to question witnesses, or to express himself freely to the attorneys.

Often a judge will draw from a witness a vital admission which an attorney has overlooked. Sometimes the bench will give a lawyer a sting- Qzhe Biggest Pound of Coffee inthtlVorJd!

If there is an "endurance" championship for quilt-making, Mrs. Jane Long claims it. She has made a quilt containing 38.000 pieces. When another woman made a quilt of 21.840 pieces, Mrs. Long heard cf it and went to work.

This does not mean that they avoid their company but they do not want them to look on during difficult evolutions nor touch their machines before hop-offs. However, the jinx does not apply to women pilots. siyiE urn (bMb wkm ujorn hwuf mmbj Five reasons for sugar in the diet Scientist talks about this healthful food ins rebuke, or castigate a witness as a liar. Takes a Hand Scarcely a case comes into court In which the judge doesn't take a prominent hand in unraveling the tangled skein. A dozen times he will intervene with questions or comments, any one of which would result in a new trial in America.

Yet England encourages this paternalism, on the ground that it not only expedites trials, and therefore reduces costs, but results in revealing the real facts. This patprnalism extends from the high courts down to the police courts. It goes even further; it reaches the police. An English policeman is a sort of big brother to the whole world. He settles more cases out of court than ever are settled in it.

He makes it his business so far as possible to prevent trouble, instead of intervening after the trouble has occurred. It is not an uncommon thing for a "bobby" to conduct an intoxicated man to the latter's residence. Fre-nuently. if a man is unable to walk, the policeman will call a taxicab and instruct the cabby to take him One OF the great food scientists of the country told us not long ago, "Sugar not only has an important use in the diet of nearly everyone it has five distinct uses. "First of all, it is a great conserver of many foods, especially fruits.

In the second place, as a flavoring substance, it is most valuable in making nearly all foods much more appetizing. In this way it leads to the eating of a more balanced diet. The third point I would home. A drunk has to be very objectionable to be arrested. But he isn't allowed to wander about and make a spectacle of himself.

A scene at the big Victoria railway station recently con- call to your attention about sugar is its value as a satiation factor. Ending a meal with a sweet gives a sense of satisfaction of having had just enough. "Perhaps the best known use of sugar is as a staple fuel for keeping the human body active. Sugar is more rapidly digested than starch, and it ranks with starch as a vital food for every normal person.

"The final point about sugar is its adaptability as an emergency fuel. Sugar is rapidly absorbed in the system." It is always helpful to get the opinion of a recognized authority on any important subject. In a day when food fads are so much in evidence it is a part of wisdom to discover exactly how important sugar is in the diet of all of us. The sensible way to well-being is to eat all kinds of healthful fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, sweetened to taste. Remember the value of puddings, ice creams, and cakes for dessert.

A bit of sweet makes the meal complete. The Sugar Institute 'WHERE ECONOMY BUlg" I Two men were engacred In a heat-! ed row, punctuated by fistic argu-Ljnent.
