Shaving Made Exciting!

How Hong Kong will treat it is perhaps difficult to conjecture, but as there are a fair number of Americans, here, we
are era- boldened to hope that what we are about to discuss will" even- tually be raised to the dignity of
national sport.
According to the story told by the village people, the fire started at No. 3 house which had been used as a pig slaughter house.
There was a block of three houses, the middle one being the slaughter house. The house, on the left, a furniture store, had its first storey burnt, but fortunately no furniture was damaged by the
flames»

The fire was extinguished by the Taipo Fire Brigade in a little over two hours, with the assistance of an appliance sent from Kowloon urder the supervision of Inspector A. W. Smith.
It was reported that no lives. were lost.

It must be recognized that faces difer quite as much

What the promoters of Chin Golf hope to see is a new eager boastfulness as men meet on the morning ferry, because they know that it ia, with the ordinary man, only a matter of time before good per formances or bad ones alike cause
him to think he needs more clubs.

FINLAND'S PROGRESS
IN RECENT YEARS
Presidential Election Prospects
(BY W. L)
Yesterday Presidential electioną. Į took place in Finland, The two candidates are the present holder of office, Pehr Evind Svinhufvud and Stahlberg. It is thought most probable that the former will be re-elected. He is considered the creator of the modern Finnish State, and has been actively res- ponsible for the development of the country since its establish- ment.
Finland, which was inhibited in early days by Asiatic tribes, has been conquered and reconquered by Russia and Sweden, finally fall- ing to Russia. By virtue of its strong individual character, the absolute rulers of pre-war Russla had to grant a semi-autonomous status to the country, forming it into an independent Grand Duchy with its own Diet and representa- tives in St. Petersburg. Although chief source of Finland's income is various Czars endeavoured to curb the wood and paper industry. Finland's individualism, the Rus- sian Government, as early as 1905, granted Finland autonomy.

In 1917, the exists, since 1903, universal suffrage German armies had helped to from the age of 24. crush a Bolshevist Regime, which had established itself by coup d'etat in December, proclaiming Finland's sovereignty.
The German armies left the country, Finland set up a Republic, and Pehr Evind Svinhufvud was proclaimed Regent, which office he held till December 1918, when Stahlberg was elected first Pre- sident. In the treaty of Dorpat, of October 14, 1920, Finland was off-
cially recognised as an independent State, and subsequently became a member of the League of Nations.
Pehr Svinhufvud was Premier of Finland under the second Presl- dent, Dr. Rolander, and after the latter's term of omde expired, was elected President for 6 years, which term expired yesterday.
