First-Visit Impressions On The Rifle Range

My first visit to the Ride Range, I found interesting. In the shade afforded by the neat, structure of the clubhouse, I watched baked competitors 'vie with each other on the ranges below. Their ap- parel was as diverse as it seemly was possible to be. Some wore white shirts and grey flannels others khaki couts and khaki shorts, while a blue shirt, white

MALAYAN REVIEW
The Rubber Outlook
The speech which Mr. J. Q. Innes, the retiring president, deliver- ed at the annual meeting of the United Planting Association of Malaya should do something to counteract the persistent agitation. against the rubber control scheme which has made itself evident in London. It is true that the agitation has died down considerably since the price fell from the dizzy eminence of 46 centa to its pro- per, level at around 38, but the feeling of hostility is still there. It. on account of a general rise in commodity prices, rubber should again soar in value, we shall certainly once again hear those fantastic stories of whole forests of rubber trees" being untapped and the restriction scheme being nothing less than extortion of money from the consumer. It is important that such propaganda "should be counteracted, and that every opportunity should be taken of pointing out that control was soundly framed and is of absolute necessity to the preservation of the industry.

In the presence of many well-known Chinese the Acting Chinese Consul General, Mr. Sze Tau Taung, performed a unique ceremony" at the Singapore Anti-Optum Society when he swore in the newly elected officers of the Society. Each of the officers had to take aft oath 'not to smoke or to deal in opium in any way and to help t bringing about the suppression of oplum and other narcotics.
The acting Chinese Consul-General in his speech said that China is now enforcing very strictly her oplum suppression policy. Habitual smokers who do not get rid of their habit within a certain period given in a warning are to be arrested and shot.

He said that the work of the Society is rendered very difficult by the fact that oplum smoking in this country is legalised. He fully realised and appreciated the good, work that the Society was doing and he believed that the new committee, consisting of such pro- of this sport, which must be view-minent and public-spirited men, would make the work more success- ed as unique when one considers ful. In conclusion he exhorted every Chinese to support the work the past failures of previous efforts of the Singapore Anti-Opium Society. in a similar direction, I have learned from a reliable

Over 1,200 invitations were sent out for the opening of the Happy World and a great majority of invited guests turned up when the doors of Singapore's latest amusement park were thrown open to the public.
Both inside the huge cabaret and the open space outside, numer- ous tables were laid out to accommodate the guests and it was a fortunate factor that the rain which threatened, earlier in the after- noon kept of until towards the close of the tea-party which was given by the management.
The Happy World has been constructed at a cast of over a quarter million dollars. Among the numerous facilities which are afforded, is an excellent dance hall of circular design.

For the greater part of last year there was only one, geologist doing duty and it was found impossible to under- take any detailed survey work except on a few m mining properties. It was deplored in mining circles that most of the hundreds of mines in Malays had to operate without the periodic visit that should have been made.
