RUNCIMAN MAY CHILDREN'S PUZZLE
HEAD NEW MINISTRY
J
London, To-day.
The future of Lord Runciman, who at present holds the sinecure position of Lord President of the Council, is still undecided.
There is a move by a number of M.P's to urge the creation of a Ministry of Shipping, or at least of a special Department of the Board of Trade, to deal with the reserve shipping fleet scheme.
If the
new Department is created and Lord Runciman (who with his shipping connections would be a choice to head the De- partment) decides
to go,
Mr. Chamberlain, it is believed, has in mind a
well-known industralist
for such a job.-Our Own Corres- pondent.

responsible for fomenting the trouble which began two and half years ago, now lurks as a fugitive, practically friendless, near the Afghan border.
This important development lies behind a terse communique issu- ed in Simla announcing that set. tlements have been reached with the Tori Khel and Madda Khel tribes, and that the British air blockade, which has cut the tribes- men off from the farmlands, has been lifted.-Our Own Correspon- dent.
LOCAL BASEBALL
U. B. WIN EASILY
Two very uninteresting baseball games were played yesterday when Recreio defeated the South China team by nine runs to 5.
This game was completed under protest when the plate umpire over- ruled the base umpires' decision in the fourth inning.
Not only did the U. B. blank the Hong Kong Baseball club but trounc- ed them by 23 runs. The U. B. scored, 12 hits to the Club's.
TAKE THE LEAD OUT
OF YOUR LEGS
Get Rxygan in Your Blood and You'll Get the Energy that Sands You Bounding up the Stairs
People who smother to death die be- cause oxygen has been completely cut off from them. Just as surely you are slowly smothering if your blood lacks red corpuscles. Red corpuscles are your body's oxygen carriers. Red corpuscles pick up the oxygen you breathe in and carry it to every part of your system. Without enough oxygen-carrying cor- puscles your kidneys, liver, stomach and bowels slow down. Your skin gets pale, flabby, often pimply. Your ner- ves get jumpy-you tire quickly-feel depressed.
London, To-day.
Delegates of an unusual kind and with an unusual mission are coming to London shortly, it is understood, from various parts of the Empire:
Their countries are largely self- governing, but this has not des- troyed admiration for our civil service in general and the sections of it dealing with foreign affairs in particular.

The investigations will range from the direction of the consular service to the keeping of files.- Our Own Correspondent.
