WHY
DDES COLD MAKE OUR HANDS BLUE?
The colour of our skin at any given moment depends upon a number of factors. but prificipally, upon the Amount of blood which is close to the surface. If a normal supply of blood is present, the skin is a healthy pinkish hue. If too much is near the sar face, a ruddy and almost apoplectic tint is likely to make its appearance, Except for one match, H.KCC. while, if the supply is insufficient, the Kowloon, which does not affect the skin takes on a pesty or bluish tinge, result, the Cricket League season is and it is this latter condition which finished, Civil Service being winners leads to the bine appearance of our and RG.A.runners-up.
