'C.C. CHARMERS' AND
'EXHAUST PIGEONS'
Oslo, Dec. 22.
The danger and nuisance created by young motorcyclists on fast, noisy machines has led to many protests in Norway and demands that the minimum age for obtaining a motorcycle licence should be raised at least a couple of years. But the police in Oslo defend the young sportsmen. The accusations levelled against them, they say, are highly exaggerated and only justifiable in a few isolated cases.

MUSINGS OF A CHINESE GOURMET
By F. T. Cheng, LL.D. (Lond.)
Formor Chinese Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, the same author of “Civiliza- tion and Art of China," "China Moulded by Confucius," "East and West," atc.
.
This publication is very much more than a mere book of recipes. Dr. Chong Discusses the fundamental principles which underline Chinese cookery, and good cookery in general; describes the various schools of cooking in China; and has some highly valuable words on Chinese wine and tea. Above all, he discourses with apt quotation and gentle humour on the central theme of food and its place in culture.

New Export Records
Bonn, Dec. 22. West Germany's expanding toy industry is expected to achieve new export records this year. German toy-makers last year exported 182,000,000 marks (about £11,000,000 sterling) worth of ingenious mechanical and electrical toys, dolls, cuddly animals, and wooden and other playthings.
