A new Hong Kong has sprung up in the last nine years. A Hong Kong of wide roads, of motor traution. and of ferro-concreto buildings. The old buildings varied between the pleasant man- sions of traditional colonial style and the marky huddle, of Chineno tonements under the Wanchai Hills and west of Pedder Street. What a due contrast with the latter' aro the wide thoroughfares and the

Any fair-minded man would agree, however, that, taken as a whole, this renovation of the Colony has been well and judicious ly guided.

Women and the Treasury,
The necessity for the retention in her post of the Hon. Dame Maude Lawrence, Director of Women's Establishments at the Treasury, until the age of 00, has aroused criticism among women Civil Ser- vants, of whom there are 80,000.
Retention after 65 in the Civil Service is very raro: up to 3D it is unprecedented Dame Mayde Law-
