Shaving with Economy
J. E, IT.
Even as sleep is necessary to man and oil to machinery so is stropping to the razor blade. Blades which are not stropped are thrown away after two or three shaves. True this is of most razors but not of the "Valet." Ten seconds stropping each morning before shaving that's all, but sufficient to keep the blade sharp for weeks and weeks.

As recorded in the last Annual Report of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, the Colo- nial Government on the ground of reonomy. closed the Statistical | 1465 Branch of the Imports and Exports Department as from September 30. 1945. At the last annual meet- ing of the Chamber members adopt- ed a resolution urging the reopen- ing of the Department, and the Committee gave further considera. tion to the question during the year. The Colonial Government, on March 27, 1926, asked the Cham- ber if it thought that the system should be re-established, to give reasons in detail to justify the ex- penditure and to make recommen- dations as to any suggested im- provements in the method of 1510 classifying the returns.
Prolonged consideration to this request was given by sub-commit- toes of the Chamber, but the sag- gestions put forward tended to in- creased sub-division of the com- modity headings and consequently to no reduction of cost. The Gen- eral Committee therefore decided, as no provision had been made by the Government in the estimates

HOME PARCEL MAILS.
A WEEKLY SERVICE. URGED,
On January 27, 1027, says the anun report of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, just ismed, the Chamber placed before the Colonial Government & suggestion tlutt the Postal Authorities of the I United Kingdom be asked to in- crease the opportunities for the dispatch of parcels mails from the United Kingdom to this Colony."
At present there is only a fortnightly parcels servico, and it was urged that a parvels mail should be carried in conjunction with ench weekly letter and paper mail via Suez. It wan painted out that under present arrangement shipmens samples of piece goods, for instance, frequently arrive late and, na dealers will not take up goods until the arrival of the samples, the consequent delay in payment costs importers in the dourse of the year an apprecióble Jess in interest, simply due to the Jate arrival of parcels. The Cham
ber therefore requested the Govern ment to make representations to the authorities at Home on this subject.
