Of Survival Are Manifold

Hawker raids are continually taking a new Just now the chief sport is "canopy razing"-the canopies are raised by the hawkers to protect their wares against sun and rain and afterwards razed by Urban Council employees,

From my verandah in Cheung Sha Wan Road, Shumshuipo, I get a grandstand view of the proceedings. One's reaction to the burlesque situations which arise in this war of hawkers versus authority is mainly a of amusement until one realises that the livelihood of a large number of people la ut stake and that constant raids must inevitably involve the public in paying higher prices for such essential commodities as vegetables and fruit.

London, July 18. Rain played a big part in County Cricket Cham. matches which pionship ended today, leaving War- wickshire in a commanding position at the top of the table.
Warwickshire gained their Alth victory in seven games and their 11th this season when cracking Glamorgan in two days. But their nearest rivals, Yorkshire and Lancashire, were harassed by rain and failed to pick up a point.
Thus Warwickshire, with lead of 30 points Over York- shire and 44 points over Lanca- chire, are splendidly placed to register their first Champion- ship title-win for 40 years and In the history of their second the competition.
A big factor in the county's sustained run is that no War- wickshire player has been call- ed on Test match duty.
