INEXPENSIVE SATISFYING
THE CHINA MAIL, NOVEMBER 13, 1939.
GUERILLAS OVER THE BORDER
Delayed messages from the border received to-day dis- close that a four-hour battle was fought in the early hours of Saturday morning north of Shumchun and Namtau, between the Japanese and Chinese guerillas.
It is revealed that the Chinese, number unknown, carried out simul- taneous attacks shortly after 2 a.m.
The Japanese were taken unawares and were forced to abandon their first defence line, on which work has not yet been completed.
The Japanese withdrew and man- aged to hold the Chinese until the arrival of reinforcements from Shum- chun Station shortly after 6 a.m. The Chinese retired before reinforcements arrived.

EXHIBITION OF OIL PAINTINGS
The exhibition of oil paintings by Mr. K. K. Lim, which opened to-day and will remain open to-morrow, is doubly interesting. Primarily, of course, Hong Kong will be interested in his many impressions of local landscapes and "views". In this category comes a view of the harbour and Victoria, with Kowloon in the background, all bathed in a beautiful semi-subdued light centred on the Bank Building.
The second point of interest in the exhibition is the fact that the paint- ings are done by a Chinese in the Western style. Most Chinese artists to-day prefer to follow the traditional style, with only slight concessions to modern theories of perspective and depth. When they try to ape the artists of the Western world, the re- sultant efforts are often sufficient to make one shudder.
Mr. Lim, of
course, has had the

STOLEN CAR FOUND AT FERRY
It was this morning disclosed that the car reported missing from a park at Fanling Station on Saturday, has been recovered.
The car, No. 4810, belonging to Mr. A. K. Mackenzie, was found yesterday at the Star Ferry, Kow- loon, having apparently been driven there by a joy rider.

study in some of the major schools of art and painting in the west. And the result is reflected in his work, which is almost completely in the western style which Mr. Lim has his
own.
Mr. Lim prefers a smooth canvas or wood and his technique is almost faultless. He has a sense of the delicacy of colour which few save some of the leading Japanese artists seem to have. His sense of colour composition, too, is strong, even where he takes on pictures of a most com- plicated character.
Perhaps his most endearing asset, however, is his feeling for light. His landscapes are brimful with sunshine, even when it is subdued, and the light in his shade in never muddy or dead,
His portraits are not so happy. Al-. though there are one or two notable exceptions, most of them are as static as a photograph, and the posing is not always happy.
But one forgives all when one sees his landscapes. It is here that he is quite at home, and his still-lifes and portraits are interesting only by way of variety and to set off the really good sections of the exhibition. Al- though Mr. Lim
would appear to specialise in oils, his capacity for broad masses of colour, of almost pastel quality, makes one rather wish he would try his hand at water colour. -A. E. G.
