the local lung condition. His general
condition is the same" Signed by Sir
Stanley HeWett, Lord Dawson of Penn.
This mornings bulletin, which was again
delayed, was awaited with some con-
Germ, owing to the difference of opinion
among unofficial medical experts as to
whether last nights report could be re
garded as %reassuring or otherwise. 1t is
stated that His Majesty had not had a
restful day. Pathological examination
was carried out in the afternoon.
Neither this nor an exploration by the
needle, previously carried out, disclosed
any appreciate amount of pleuraI effu-
sion. The bulletin added that the general
condition remained the same. 1t is under
stood that the exploration by the needle
was conducted yesterday morning and
the fact that the King had undergone
this, as we'll as an Xray elimination,
W regarded as affOrding sufficient eX-
Ulauati0n of the report that the day
had not been restful. Non disclosure Of
any appreciate amount of pleural effu.
sion is considered by some ito be a dis,
tinctIy hopeful sign, but others state that
it can be considered neither as a good nor
a bad sign. Their view is that had there

en- which might have had the effect of
shortening the duration of the trouble.
AS it is, no such steps can be taken and
ordinary passive treatment will be re-
sumed. A hopeful view Of the process
of the ailment, is however, taken by the
Royal Household, and the Kings Private
Secretary is a message last night from
Buckingham Palace, thanking the Nor
folk Yeomanry Old Comrades Association
for its good wishes, said, His Males

Marriage is entered into too
too lightly; it should be regarded as
a sacred covenant rather than
a civil contract" Judge Gates said,
Care should be taken in selection
of the person one marries."
1T is high time we had a course
in Marital Economics in high
schools to teach the sacredness, the

marriage"
A check revealed that IS per cent

An increasing tendency to name
'other women was shown.
