Flood waters have weakened the supports and one half of the bridge has sunk fully twelve inches from the roadway. A dangerous obstacle has been formed. There are many gardens on this route and a heavy traffic is car-ried to the Perth markets. "Lilies of the Field," the sparkling comedy by John Hastings Turner, is to be played by Perth College Old Girls' Dramatic Club to aid the Chandler Boys' Settlement Scheme on Friday and Satur-day evenings. Members of the Perth Sym-phony Orchestra will supply the music. Tickets are 1/6 and 2/6; booking free at Musgrove's. The cast is well chosen— chiefly from the Repertory Club. Miss Norrie John is the producer.

Reference will also be made to the change in propaganda neces-sitated by the now widespread knowledge of the subject. An invitation is extended to all interested. In the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr. Justice Draper gave judgment for defen-dant, with costs, in a claim brought by R. S.
