Of cheap DRY CLEANING. So called CHEMICAL CLEANING is soap and water with a little spirit spotting. Such method does not preserve cloth from moth and other insects.
**What is GENUINE DRY CLEANING?" Removal of all dust, spots, and soiling of a greasy matter by special spirit soaps and pure PETROLEUM BENZINE which can only be used in special machines installed in a fully licensed building approved by the GOVERN- MENT. There is only one large installation in the COLONY.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE,
Possibly the worst train disaster ever known in the Colony occurred during the week when a local train from Shumchun plunged thirty feet from the rails at a place be tween Taipo and Shatin, where torrential rains had under- mined and washed away the banking. At least eleven deaths, with many injuries, resulted, and agonising scenes were witnessed when rescue parties endeavoured to free the victims, who were trapped in the wreckage. It is re- ported that 13 inches of rain fell in the district in 48 hours. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains a full and graphic account by eye-witnesses of the rescue scenes.
