Test Score
FINE INNINGS BY NOURSE
Nottingham, June 8.
Dudley Nourse, the South African captain, made 208 runs against England in the first Test match which was continued here today and then declared his side's first innings closed at 485 runs for nine wickets.

Vanished Diplomats Mystery Deepens
London, June 8.
The mystery of Britain's two vanished diplo- mats deepened tonight with the publication of telegrams saying one planned a long "Mediter- ranean holiday" and the other "had to leave un- expectedly."
The messages gave birth to a dozen different theories in this baffled capital, worried and increasingly fearful that the pair may be taking Anglo-American secrets to Russia-perhaps under duress.

Hongkong's Water Supply
THE community will find it difficult understand, much less appre-
ciate, the Water Authority's ultra- conservative decision not to extend in any degree the hours of domestic water supply, despite the announcement that all of the principal reservoirs in the Colony are full to overflowing. The last thing we would advocate would be the immediate withdrawal of all re strictions. It is well recognised that the daily consumption would be far too heavy to permit of any such action without endangering supplies. But a -situation has now been created which seems to present the Water Authority with a safe opportunity for making some concession to householders. The reservoirs are overflowing and are cor- while tain to continue to do so
the water supply is held at 141 hours a day. In other words, water is. flowing into the storage areas very much faster than it is being consumed and the wastage from overflow is greater than through leaking taps and excessive use in domestic premises. Moreover, it can be claimed with con- siderable confidence that any danger of a drought this summer has vanished... On the contrary, the probability is that we shall enjoy (or suffer) a near- record rainfall, for already the Colony has absorbed 20 inches of rain in ex- cess of the average. It is, therefore, almost a certainty that our storago will remum at capacity for the rest of the summer: One auggestion for Government's reluctance to Increase the hours of supply is the difficulty of filtering enough water to meet the extra demand. But, the proposition is that we should be given one auditional hour's supply, and surely if it is possible. for the filter beds to feed the Colony
Д
with purified water for 14 hours a day (as at present) they are capable of doing so for 15 hours a day? It is not our intention to labour the point, but we are convinced (as too, are some correspondents) that it is possible, in view of the capacity storage, to make an immediate grant of an extra hour of water supply daily without in any way jeopardising future supplies. Puzzling to the public is the fact that on May 16, with the reservoirs not much more than half full, Government found itself able to offer an extra four and a half hours' water supply a day, yet, with the storage at capacity, it cannot permit an additional hour. Consumption, it is appreciated, is heavy; nevertheless it is presumed that the Colony has been on 142-hour daily supply for the past three weeks only because the Authorl ties have been aware that consump tion would not draw too heavily on reserves. There is a further contin- genty: the Water Authority keeps a close eye
on consumption and is, therefore, always in a position to re- apply restrictions if convinced the situation may become delicate or dan- gerous. It is not suggested that be cause our storage capacity has been reached that we possess water in abundance to be made available india- criminately, but if an extra hour a day of supply to domestic consumers pre- vonta wastage through overflow at the darns it will have nehloved something useful. And a great many people "will":" be given the opportunity of a lato. evening bath or shower which they cannot now enjoy. We feel the Water Authority should give further con- sideration to the question.
