Mr. Wong Kwing Cheung, owner of the Austin T, was also summoned for driving his car when the brakes were not in proper working condi- tion. His Worship fired him 20 and remarked that he had been guilty of a dangerous offence.
A CONSTABLE'S WARNING, -
When a Chinese hawker appeared before Mr. Whyte-Smith yesterday, he exclaimed:-"I thought I was charged with hawking without a licente, and not with obstruction !"
He went on to way that the con- stable who arrested him first asked for his licence, but when he pro- duced it, the offieet nised a charge of obstruction, saying that he (de fendant) had taken up his position in a motor bug route.
The policeman's side of the story, was that he warned the mun fifteen minutes before he arrested him for obstruction.
Saying that he always felt a little suspicious about these constables* warnings, he let the man off with a бne of:81.

PROF. ROBERTSON'S LECTURE
COMMERCIAL EDUCATION,
Was
At the Union Assembly Hall of the Hong Kong University last evening Professor R. Robertson de livered a lecture on Commercial Education." The lecturer sald that the time when people thought that systematized education only of secondary importance for the achievement of success was past. Leaders born to take responsible that the University can solve the positions are few and it is possible solution of producing more men to All these daily increasing positions which require men with sound judgment.
The lecturer divided men of com merce into three clases, the clerks, heads of departments and the figure hends or Napoleons in commerce. The curriculum taught in the ele mentary and secondary schools. is not sufficient to train first class business men. It remains for the universities to provide coaching in intricate aubjects of "banking, accounting, commercial law, etc.
the
more economies:
There still prevails in the minds of many persons that the scle duty of a university is the spreading of culture, and the introduction of voentional training such as com. mercial education is contrary to the spirit in which universities were founded. Such reasoning is. "how ever, built on weak foundation as it would be found that back in the middle ages universities concentrat, ed in training clergymen and at a Jäter period lawyers and doctors.
After a long and painful illness the death occurred on February 20 at her home, Boulderwood, Woking of Mrs. Brown, wife of Mr. W. Š. Brown, who, until his retirement some few years"ago, was for many years secretary of the Hong Kong & Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co. Ltd. The cremation took place at St. John's, Woking, on March 1, and was attended by, among others, a number of Hong Kong friends of the deceased lady and her bereav- ed husband.
