OFFER BY RICH SCIENTIST
LONDON, July 18. "Tliis is the first I havo heard of it. I had no idea I had anything in my head I could sell," said Mr. Bernard Shaw, concerning a report that a rich scientist had offered £5000 for his head after death.
Mr. Shaw refused to discuss the report that ho has already bequeathed his head to the Royal College of Surgeons. An official of the college says: "Wo shall be very pleased to receive the bequest, but wo prefer normal heads."
The Irish Free State Minister of Justice is'inviting the Censorship Committee to reconsider banning Mr. Shaw's book, "Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God," on the ground that the illustrations are indecent.
