Blow Yourself
to a Good Night's Rest
A cool room on a hot night is like an nasis in the desert. While others swelter and sweat, you can dream of cool woods and refreshing breezes. There's no sub- stitute for the cool, quiet circulation of air set up the minute you turn an n ELECTRIC FAN. It's wonderful what an Electric Fan and a little imagination will do.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
Yet another important change has come over the Chinese situation. Forgotten for the moment are the activities of the various "War Lords" in the declaration of Marshal Chang Tso-lin to the effect that he is now the "Generalissimo" of the North, Peking included. This week's "Overland Mail" fully sets out how this decision was arrived at and its probable effect.
In various of the ports and cities where foreigners once held an amount of sway feelings of antagonism amongst the Chinese have again broken out. Read about the trouble in Amoy, in Foochow, and in Canton, where the dissolved Chinese- Seamen's Union officials are still trying to stir up strife. All details in the "Overland."
This week's issue also contains all the local news-
.. Kowloon-Canton Railway developments, latest military activ
ities, reports of the Criminal Sessions, the week's sport and particulars of all the social events.. Send it Home!
