AT THE STRAND

A cast rated as all star.
 The story deals, primarily. with society girl who is much courted but neither loves nor is interested in any man. Eventually the race dwindles down to two persistent suitors. In an idle minimizing moment, she be- comes engaged to one of them and the other is heart broken. He is cheered. however. by the advice of a young engineer, the house guest of her wealthy father. He tells the chap to disregard the engagement and consider the girl fair prey at least until she is married. He renews his suit and then one tangle after another happens. Meantime the girl has fallen in loye-with the young engineer who is only mildly inter ested in her. This makes her the more keen 10 win him and brings about a quadrangle rather than a triangle and some mighty hilarious moments.

LABOR MINISTRY
 FACES NEW CRISIS
Liberals Turn Against Premier
 to Give Him Scare

London, July LP-The ministry of Premier Ramsay Macdonald faced crisis in the house of com- mons today with it's erstwhile friendly enemies, the liberals, turned squarely against them in an attack of their own.
 Given enough liberal following to the leadership of David Lloyd George and the usual conservative anti-g government vote, defeat of the government would seem inevitable Tom Kennedy, chief government whip, said that such defeat would involve the ministry's fall
 The question at issue is an amendment to the finance bill in- yolying exemption from income taxes on that part of affected com panles' profits devoted to re-equip- ment of factories and replenish- ment of plant machinery.
 The amendment is David Lloyd Georges own, d fact which political observers have been at loss to ex- plain, since Mir. Lloyd George. welding the balance of power. has much more to say in governmental matters than he would if it is neces- sary to go to the country in a new general election which might return a conservative majority.
 Would Not Follow Leader
 Among some of the political news Inongers the idea was advanced that the liberals would not all vote with their leader. who did not, indeed, it was alleged, wish them to do so since his hope was merely to throw scare into the government and emphasize it's precarious position. It was commented that probably very few politicians wished a new gen. eral election just at this time.
 A by-election today in North Norfolk. which has voted for labor since 1922, shared attention. Both labsr and conservatives have made a fight for constituency, left vacant by elevation to the peerage of Noel Buxton, the former member.
 4 conservative victory would be taken as g, blow for the government in view of recent tariff and free trade agitation, and coming as it would on the heels of the ministry's recent reversal in the West Pullman by-election.
 Mcdonald has set no date as yet for debate on the motion of censure prapareAe by Stanley Baldwin. con- servative leader, scoring the govern ment for its failure to extend the safeguarding policies of the pre- ceding regime.
