Young Team But Reliable
Bowling The Weak Spot?

What constitutes one of the youngest Interport teams to he sent from Hong Kong to Shanghal has been chosen and, per- sonally, I think that the team is good enough to represent the Colony in any match. There is no reason to doubt the batting strength for one and all of our batamen have shown convine- ingis in the trials that they are capable of looking after the run getting.

other shots, however, and is a staunch and steady bat.
As a felder, he is rather apt to disregard the poor wicket-keeper's trgers, who has the misfortune of having to receive from him in the feld. He has a powerful throw and is a constant danger to the "single-sneaker."
C. C. GARTHWAITE Together with Pearce, he is one of the finest all-rounders in the Colony. A strong, attacking and
stylish bat and is capable of runs against any bowling.
As a bowler, he swings a new ball in a manner that makes a

That fact is given in the Govern- tenth annual report to the Lea- "gue of Nations on the traffic in oplum and other dangerous drugs Lssued recently.

As to the control of international tade, the report says "The 'system of import certificates and export authorisations for. the con- trol of imports and. exports of

A. K. MINU
Considered in Shanghai to be the best bowler East of Suez, Minu goes up to prove the veracity of this opinion. His bowling needs no describing to Hong Kongites.

It is the opinion of the Bishop! of Chelmsford (Dr. Henry Wlison) that nine famous hymns should be "eliminated for the next twelve months."

One of the most'vital inventions in the history of radio was shown to the public for the first time at the Radio Exhibition, which operi- ed at Olympia recently.
Its an "all stage" valve, the Arst of its kind in the world. It is claimed that it will do the work of about 60 of the existing types.
At present a special valve is re- quired for each stage of a wireless receiver. There is a bewildering multiplicity or types-power valves, screened grid valves, pentodes, fre- quency changers, and so on.
Mr. J. H. Owen Harries, the 30- year-old radio research specialist, has been working for six years in his litle laboratory at Frinton-on- Sea on the task of developing "a single valve for all stages of all receivers.
The finished product is now ready and great simplification in the manufacture and maintenance of radio sets is likely to result.
