A collage of stray items: long northern days from May to July, coal sources north of the equator, and a quirky tale of a British officer bar-side pantomime.

A Paris scene shows a "Sandwich Countess" in a red lined robe promoting a weekly sheet while two guards wear black robes. She explains her plan to earn by selling sandwiches, preferring dignity over cab driving. French military debates cover a new 75 mm gun improved by Col Depot to cut crew to five. Suburbs plan night watch with dogs and a private league funding police kennels to boost safety. A mysterious express train tragedy closes the report.
