HOW TO DODGE DELAY,
Those who are getting Christmas parcels ready to send Home by the mails which close at the Hongkong P. O in about a week or ten daya' time would do well to note thắt, sc- cording to a communication received from the PM.G. in London, a good deal of trouble and delay is being experienced in clearing parcela froti jabroad in consequence of vague or
insecurate Customs Declarations.
The Customs folk are too inquisitive. to be satisfied with so general dee- cription as "groceries" or "presents.” Descriptions and individual weighta are required particularly in connection with the undermientioned classes of | goods :--
Sugr; sweets and confectionery; crystallised and imitation fruits and
flowers; preserved ginger, jam jellies and marmalades; chocolate; cocoa powder; ranned fruit; tes; coffee; condensed milk; milk powder; dried fruits. In the case of dried fruits, the precise kind of fruit must be stated,

MORE QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT.
"HONGKONG PUBLIC OPINION.” -
LOLON, November 2 The subject of mus”, teni was again raised in the House of Comnirons at quration-time by Mr. T. J. Bennett, who asked whether thers was any limita- tion except the criminal law to the right of purchasers of girls to demand suy service they plessed, puish them at will or treat them as consuhises.
Major E. F. L. Wood, Under Secretary for Colonies, replying, said he did not doubt that in Hongkong as elsewhere the force of public opinion was powerful adjunct to the criminal law in restraining ill treatment of adopted children. He understood that by Chinese custom & girl could only be made ■ soncubine, with the consent of the man's wife, the girl herself, and her parents. Colonel J. C.. Wedgwood asked if the custom was not illegal in China itself and only legal in British colonier, and if it amounted to slavery.
Major Wood said that he and his predecessor had continually repudiated the use of the term slavery" in connection with the custom but he despaired of ever getting Colonel Wedgwood to discontinue the term. Ha believed that a Chinese law was passed making the custom illegal outside British settlements. The Chinese, however, sanctioned the principle of adoption on a system of hire to the age of twenty-five on preliminary pay- ment of a lump sums.

In the House of Commons, the Under Secretary for Colonies, Major E.F. L. Wood, confirmed an enquiry by Mr. George Barker if the Govato- ment had received a petition from the Chiness in the Straits Settlements änd Malay States with a view to getting compulsory registration of Chinesa teachers and school committees cancelled as required by the 1920 Ordinance.
