NIPPON YUSEN KÄISHA.
HALF-YEARLY MEETING..
The following is a summary of the speech delivered by Mr. Takeshi Shiruni, President of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, at the shareholders' semi-annual general meeting held at Tokyo on November *9th:-
The President. in recommending the adoption of the report, said that the net profit for the term under review amounted to Y.1,000,000, showing an io- crease of 1.300,000 ever" that of the pre- vious term, and Y900,000 over that ot the corresponding term last year, Lak fortunately, however, this increase was by no means indicative of any sign of improvement in the shipping trade, such increase being, in a great measure, due to the depreciation of the yen exchange, and the temporary inflation of passenger traffic for the Pacific Coast of America, pending the operation of the new im- migration saw of the United States The actual condition of the continued ship- ping depression might be gauged by the fact that, in spite of the increas of reb profit. the tonnage of cargo, and the number of passengers actually handled during the term were both about ten per cent. below the figures of the previous
terin.
In order to enable the Directors to recommend a dividend of ten per cent.. the President said, they had to propose a further ipcursion on the dividend equalisation fund to the extent of Y.1.930,000.

I think sometimes the word " is just another name for "hope." You might fancy that it was curiosity that made you smoke your first Kensitas-no, sir, it was really hope, the hope that you would find Kensitas a really good cigarette, better than the kind you had been smoking.
But it is a fact, sir, that after you smoked that first Kensicas and experienced the cool, rare old blend of prime Virginia you continued to smoke Kensims, because you found that

The President, continuing, said that the intensity of the shipping depression still continued unabated all the world over, and, although some slight sign of recovery was from time to time notice able, the situation, on the whole, had not mensurably risen from the rock bat- tom of decline. This lamedable state of affairs was, as had been repeatedly pointed out by his predecessor due to the continued excess of the world's too. nage of steam and motor vessels over the persistently dwindling volume of trade. The economic paralysis with which Continental Europe continue to be afflicted, stood in the way of improve- ment of the world's trade. However, the importance of the recognition by the Powers of the Dawes plan cannot be overrated, as being so far the most hope. ful means of solving the German re-

The theory underlying the new method is that the ripening of fruits is an oxidation pro cess, depending on free absorption of oxygen, and the exhalation of carbon- dioxide.
