“unimpeachable foreign sources”
that Japanese soldiers threw the
stars and stripes, taken from an
American hospital ship near
Wuhu, in the yellow waters of

Tokyo—Taking fright at Wash-

apologized for the delay in ans-
wering the Panay protest, yet in-
sisted that eye-witnesses were
“mistaken” when they said Jap-
anese machine-gunned the sink-
ing gunboat.
Washington—Amid increasing
tension America’s armed forces
were being prepared to cope with
any eventuality, and steps were
considered to bring national de-
fense to its highest point since
the World war.
London—Encouraged by Wash-
ington’s stiffening attitude, Brit-
ain sent another sharp note to
Tokyo, demanding naval assur-
ances against further invasion of
Hong Kong territorial waters.

A modern version of the tale of tha bartered bride came to a con-

to marry a 40-year-old French farmer to whom she had been “sold”
by her uncle for $135. When her parents returned to United States,
leaving her in custody of an uncle in France, he allegedly made the
marriage deal with a neighbor, but appeals of the child to the Ameri-

LONDON, (INS)—While men to-{
day live eight years or more |
longer than they did thirty years
ago, women, in the longevity
race, win easily.
And the reason is—Men must
work and worry.
The British Registrar-General
in a report just issued shows with
figures that of 107,140 people in
England and Wales who were
over 85 at the middle of last
year 72,400 were of the sup-
posedly more fragile sex.
In England and Wales, as in
America, women have the best
chance of survival at practically
all stages of life. Only between
the ages of 15 and 20 is the death
rate in favor of the male.
Men, the report shows, suc-
cumb more easily to nearly all
the diseases of heart, lungs and
the digestive organs. In addition
they are more liable to accidents,
and male suicides are more than
twice the rate of women.
The disparity between the life
chances of men and women once
he midstream of life has been
passed is very striking.
At 35 a normal man may ex-
pect 33 more years, but a woman
36 years.
The expectation of life after-
wards, according to the report,
