A farewell concert to members of the Hongkong Garrison Women's Fellowship arranged by Mrs. Robert Lewis was given last night- at the Military Hospital, Bowen. Roud, by kind permission of the officer commanding the No. 27 Com- pany, R. A. M. C.
The programme was a long and varied one and contained items by a number of well-known local artistes. The following were bill ad to appear, The Rev. G. E. Arrowsmith, Mrs., W. R. Fleming, Lieut. A. S. Bedells, Mr. R. M. Keown and Miss Audrey Steele.

There is some indication that the small size of the town child le, in part at least, an inbozn characteristic.
No clear Indication has been found that the nutrition of the child is directly associated with the income of the family
The correlations of weight and height to size of family, and to air-space per person, are all small and many of them insignificant.
The fact that difference in size of the town and country child is not determined by the amount of milk consumed, is Indicated by the consumption by the well-grown child of rural miners, which la as small as that of slum families.
