Chinese New Year has come and gone, and the "old-custom" cele brations have in no way been re- laxed as before. For days the general public were doing their shopping and laying up stores for the holidays. Business was at a standstill for three days: the big department stores and small shops were likewise closed. All govern- ment departments remained open'-. ed as usual, for they have long ago adhered to the foreign calendar. To all appearances everyone seem- ed to have enjoyed dual New Year holidays. The ring of crackers was somewhat restricted. I was given to understand. The women- folks and children were done up in in silt their best the former

JAPANESE CONSTABLE "SHOT DEAD
A very dastardly murder occur- red last week when a Japanese | Consulate constable, a Mr. Tsunto- da, was fatally shot just outside his residence, by some unknown person or persons. It transpired Mr. Tsunoda had just left his home to go to the Consulate some- time after noon when without any warning whatsoever three shots were fired at him at close range. His body was at once taken to the Japanese Hospital and medical ald proved of no avail. News spread like 'speed-fire amongst the Japan- ese community. The Chinese au- thorities were forthwith held responsible for the crime and they themselves arranged for a foreign doctor to examine the dead body Nearly one hundred patents per and who undoubtedly found three... day have been applied for in Great bullet wounds.
