The principal items in this pro- gramme are;
1. The provision of public gas proof shelters in various parts of Victoria and Kowloon. The siting of these shelters will be related to the density of population,
2.The provision of first aid and decontamination centres in various "sultable parts of Victoria and Kowloon,
3. The addition to hospitals of annexes for the decontamination and treatment of wonrided gas casualties.
4. The provision in Government bulidings and in buildings which would be required for essential services of gas-proof and splinter proof accommodation.
5. The provision of free gas masks to those who would be en- gaged in essential services and their families.
6. The provision of protective clothing for decontamination squads and others engaged in anti-gas work.
7-The provision of air raid warning devices.
A preliminary estimate. of the cost of these items is $1,000,000, and in order not to impose too burden on the Colony's great a finances, it may be necessary to

Several members of the Govern- ment Medical Service have under- gone special anti-gas courses in England and it is intended in the near future to arrange public lectures on anti-gas measures with special reference to methods of providing gas-proof accommoda- tion in the home.
Mrs. Wilson told our reprezenta tive that they had good weather and a very pleasant trip; but after the first day it became slightly monotonous, as there was nothing to be seen but the white clouds through which they new all the time, and a vast expanse of empty sea below, Very few ships were sighted, and these looked very small as they were flying at an altitude of 8.000 feet most of the

The 10 years since 1927, it is stated, have been notable for an increasingly insistent challenge to democracy.
The keynote of the new sugges- tions is that education should develop fully the powers of the individual child and prepare it. through its school life, for mem- bership of a modern, democratic community,

Besides the first stop at Hono- lulu they also stopped at Midway Island, Wake Island and Guam Island.
Mr. Wilson was last in Hong Kong in 1914, and was very much impressed by the vast improvements and alterations which have taken place since then. During his stay here he will have a good deal to namesake discuss with his local (Mr. T B. Wilson of the Dollar Line) with regard to shipping and other such matters.

SCALING THE BANK
(Continued from Page. 1.)
A crowd of spectators gathered to watch the proceedings and as one did so, one wondered why it was necessary for the coolle to ascend" in this particular man-
ner.
Like the spider in the famous King Bruce story that we all learn- ed in school, the coolfe, made his way up, steadily, steadily inch by inch, and the nearer He got to his goal the more excited the fellows on the top were. And then, with one last. tug, they got the extra coolle they needed on to the plat form!
It was rather fun, watching the proceedings, but what the poor fellow must have felt as he made his way up slowly, sometimes al- most brushing the granite wall with his nose, is better left to the imagination.
STABBED WITH PENKNIFE
A Farrow escape from what could have been a more serious wound was experienced by Chol Po-chung last night.
· As he was walking with his friend along Tai Nam Street about 8.30 p.m., some disagreement arose between them which led to a without gny quarrel. Suddenly warning, his friend stabbed him on the back near the spine with a penknife.
He was instructed to go to the | hospital by the police officer to whom he had reported the in cident, and was discharged after receiving medical treatment.
