luxury of a little extra if the two hours wait means a lot to them.
frein which few tiled roofs were ever free. The curious thing is that, although the flat roof is the rule rather than the exception, no one seems to have appreciated its uses. Seldom do local residents take indvantage of this open-air space, for living or sleeping pur poses, and use it for no better purpose than as a convenient place for the drying of clothes or the erection of wireless aerials. Oc casionally Chinese householders con- vert their roofs into gardens, with shrubberies and little nrbours, but the foreigner seldom sets foot upon its surface. Yet the uses of a flat roof are manifold. Since the roof area in the majority of modern buildings is quite large, there is ample room for the construction of a hard tennis or ladainian court, though to the best of our knowledge no householder has ever tried the experiment. Again, the views to be obtained from the top of a house are usually extensive and, frum Pome buildings in Kowloon, one can" look down on both sides of the Harbour. If the slightest breeze is | blowing, it can always be felt on the roof whereas down below the house- holder will be endeavouring to cool himself beneath a fan. There could be far less pleasant ways of opend. ing the evenings than in a summer- house, protected from the wind or the rays of the sun, and one would thus get the benefit of fresh air.

"We run as full a time table as we can," said the Railway's very cour- teous Traffic Manager to our repre- |sentative," and we consult the resi- dents of the New Territories about the times they find convenient. We can't run a train every hour, but as your corresponent says, there are not many complaints."
One thing that does seero surpris- ing is that Kowloon Tong Residents have never clamoured for a station and morning and tiffin hour trains. Such a service would be specially popular in the cool weather.
