It is at this percholegical moment that he will turn to.a prostitute if no decant woman is at band to distract his thoughts, and it is for this resson that the Hospitality Teague, believing in preventive measures, has appealed Again and again in the columns of the Evening Standard for hostesses to be friend these men on their short and infrequent leavO... -
PREFERABLE TO PROSECUTION.
"The response to those appeals has been good, but it has never been as large as it would be if women jew the streets as they are, and were better able to realise that in this question of promis coous vice and disease time presses, and that it is to their own interesta, quite apart from altruistic and humanitarian motives, to prevent, rather than merely to attack prostitution.
"Thestreet patrols there are at present forty menand a certain sumber of women in uniform, recognised by the military authorities-do not aim at prosecutions; partly because they believe in other methods of dealing with solicitation and partly because magistrates have an little powar in cases of this kind that pro- ceedings are, for the most part, & mere farce.

WHY WORRY?
HY worry The War's over!" So it is.
bave all heard that temark more than once, but there is múch to worry about yet. We're not out of the game simply because the Huns have laid down their guns What you gave on Heather Day, and at the Fair is surely not the limit of your sacrifice! There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing Thanks to the Army and Navy, we we have had, and will continue to have a very com fortable time in Hongkong It is our duty then to "worry, in order that the maimed and sick the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us here owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in war-a debt which we can never repay. But we can show our apprecia- tion by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are er gaged at home. Money is urgently needed, thall we grudge it now that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause and its success must be written down in the sunals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achievements, on the battefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory. Offering worthy of the Colony.
