Nash, Minister of Finance, Customs and Marketing, are discussed. The two serials, "The Thirteenth Clue," by J. Wilson Begg, and "The Queen's Earring," by R. j M. Jenkins, are both carried a stage fur-1 tlier. while Shiela Russell presents the j tenth instalment of her story of the droll "People of Pudding Hill." All the usual features of the magazine are carried on.
