A frank udmission to a Senior Sanitary Inspector that certain Kowloon Tong residents had allowed mosquitoes to breed in flower pots. for the stated purpose " of feeding goldfish" was mentioned in a case before the Kowloon Magistrate. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries a com- plete report of the case, which is of particular importance in view of the movement for aft intensive anti-malarial campaign in the Colony,
There is an unhappy recrudescence of murderous attacks in the Colony, Last week, an amiah returning from market in Wanchai made the terrible discovery that an old woman living in the same house had been brutally murdered in her absence. Another case which excited great interest, particularly, amongst Chinese friends and residents in the neighbourhood, was the trial of a Chinese charged with the murder of five of his compatriots in a bank in the Western district in May. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports both cases in full.
During the week, a young Chinese was found not guilty on two charges of uttering and obtaining money on a forged $100 bill. The case, in which the evidence was very con- flicting, occupied the attention of a jury for two days, and is comprehensively recorded in the OVERLAND CHINĂ MAIL.
The reception by the French Consul (M. M. G. Dufaure de la Prade) on the occasion of July 14, the French National holiday, is also the subject of appropriate notice in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Sport of all sorts; as usual, is ably dealt with by the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL staff, special accounts of and com- ments on lawn bowls games being a feature,

Declaring "I've come to sort of straighten things out," Miss Clara Bow, the red-haired tomboy of the screen, arrived at Dallas, Texas, in connection with a suit for £30,000 damages brought against her by the wife of a prominent local busi

She is charged with alienating the affections of the business man, whose name is being kept a secret.
In an interview, Miss Bow said, "I met the man in Hollywood and I admit I fell for him pretty hard." "Then his wife came on the scene and threatened to start divorce proceedings. Eventually she began a suit against me charg

"It was the first date I ever made with a married man. He had such nice eyes. But never again!
"I am going to pay the money to get the affair off my mind.”
Miss Bow protested that there was nothing harmful in her asso ciation with the man, She had wished to fight the case in court, but her producers, fearing the publlelty would harm her career, urged her to settle the matter out| of court.
