Hits Cargo Junk
A collision, which at first threa- tened to be a serious one, occurred in Tsim-Sha-Tsui early yesterday morning, when the No. 2 Water Boat of the Union Water Bont Company collided with a Chinese cargo junk No. 2161.
The Water Boat at that time was going straightly towards the junk, and Lai Tai in order to avoid the collision. tried to cross the Water Bost, but owing to the misunderstanding of the signal, the Water Bost mailed directly to wards the junk and collided with
it.
Lai Tai ago 32, master of the junk, in his report to the Police, said that while his junk, loaded with some cargoes, was sailing on her way to Tai-Kok-Tsui at about 6 am, yesterday morning, she met In the arst place.

Shou-son said;-
Your Excellency, Lady Peel, Ladies and Gentlemen!-
Before dealing with the work of the Society I wish, on behalf of its members, to express our ap- preciation of honour which Your Excellency has done to the Society by presiding at this meeting.
The whole community knows the concern which Your Ex- cellency and Lady Peel have al- ways shown for the welfare of the poor and suffering, and your in- lerest has been a constant source of encouragement to all who are working to improve conditions.
Copies of the Society's fourth annual report have been in the hands of members for some days and details of the Society's ac- tivities have been widely publish- ed by the Press, so I will only touch briefly on some few matters.

LOW VITALITY is the downward path of failure along which they are daily treading nearer and nearer to dreaded breakdown!
To WOMEN who are
riddled with the torture of "nerves" racked with the agony of beadaches and other pains, weakened by the exhaustion and debility which comes from a system depleted in energy and physical resources- LOW VITALITY is the ever-present menace to every happiness and plea sure which a healthy life can hold."
This is indeed the age of the "survival of the fittest."
"The weakest must go to the wall"! YOU cannot afford to run the risks of this dreaded LOW VITALITY! YOU MUST TAKE "YEAST-VITE"
In its wonderful combination of pure medicinal yeast and vitamins lies the power of Yeast-Vite

The outstanding lesson learn: from the Society's work during the past four years is that there prevalent in this Colony a de- gree of poverty which it is almost impossible for well-to-do persons to comprehend. We can hardly realize what it must mean to try to live on under $4.00 a month

The "attempt to achieve this aim cost the Society last year $15.570. 00 in direct relief work, supplies and nursing expenses, and 85,700 for the cost of main- tenance of three offices and the salaries of the three Inspectors in charge of branches.
A CONSERVATIVE POLICY, At the end of our previous year we had a ceficit of over $4,200.00 on that year's working.
During the year which has just ended our expenditure increased by, over $3,000 but fortunately our revenue increased by $7,000 so that we have only a deficit of
$295,00 on the year's working.
We may perhaps congratulate ourselves that during a year of anancial stringency we have so nearly succeeded in making both

Two causes have contributed to this increase;" One, the number of cases of poverty due to unem- ployment consequent on trade de- pression and the other, the close contact between the Society and the new Government infant wel- fare Centre, which has resulted in a number of cases being sent to the Society which might other wise have escaped notice."

There is undoubtedly need for such extension by the establish- ment of additional branches, with additional Inspectors.
KOWLOON'S NEED
The experience of the past year has shown conclusively how es-" sential it is for the Bociety to have its Branch offices, right in the districts where the poor live because the
