NEW DESIGN FOR FERRY BOAT
Stream-Lined Vessel Makes Debut On Whangpoo
Shanghai, Feb. 21.
The stream-line design 'has been adopted by the Greater Shanghai
City Trust, operators of the Gov- ernment ferry service in Shanghal in the construction of terry boats for Shanghai-Pootung service at Tungkadoo, Nantao. The first of its kind, which completely revolu- tlonizes the original shape of à ferry boat, made a successful trial run yesterday afternoon. She is expected to be commissioned for service between Tang" Chao, Pou- tung. and Tungkadoo early next month.
The greatest headache of the "morning after" comes from trying t remember the charming les that one has told to a girl the "night before."
