THE HONGKONG" TELEGRAPH,
Have
you ever passed a dairy farm at the moment when the cows are coming in to be milked? Have you seen them swinging in a slow procession down the lane? And have you ever at such a time asked for a glass of milk, just for the pleasure of drinking it, so new and warm and virtuous?
זו
"Milkmaid" is taken when it is like that. It is carried swiftly in cans as clean as new pins to a spotless and speckless condensery where cleanliness is almost a mania.
And then it is sealed to protect it from dust and dirt and germs and pump and preservatives. Just the richest milk taken when it is warm and good and made safe for you and your children, but with the cream carefully left in it and only water taken from it.

TRAFFIC BREACHES.
An unusually large number of Gutamonses against foreigners were heard by Mr. E. W. Hamilton at the Kowloon Maglatracy yester day when several motorists appear- ed on charges of breaches of the trame regulations. Among the many defendants were two mill- tary men, one of whom was fined $20 for dangerous driving.
Sapper Williams of the Royal Engineera appeared to answer charges of not having an appro priate driver's Ncence: failing to register the change of ownership of his motor cycle and driving in a manner dangerous to the public. On the first charge the defen- dant pleaded guilty and, when anked if he had any explanation to offer, said that he had an old licence which expired in June, He had been in camp for some time and never had the oppor tunity to ride. On Sunday, Novem- ber 18, he came into town and took the opportunity to ride his Д obtain cyclo, intending to Licence the following day.

An officer in Court informed his Worship that he owned the motor cycle in question and was selling It to the defendant who had not actually taken possession of the machine,
His Worship accepted the
ex planation on the second charge, which was dismissed.
The charge of dangerous driv ing was then proceeded with, the defendant entering a plea of not guilty.
Sub-Inspector Nicol, in evidence, said that motor cycle No. 705 passed him in Taku Street, Hung- hom, at 1.15 p.m. on November 18. Witness was not sure whether the driver possessed a licence and followed him into Bulkeley Street and then along Chatham Road to Salisbury Rond.

Anybody with experience, said the defendant, would know that if a car could go more than 10 or 15 miles on a choked carburettor, the driver was very lucky.
The defendant said that he was travelling at the usual speed.
Sub-Inspector Nicol was then recalled and asked about the choked carburettor and the reply to the defendant at the camp. What witness told the defendant was that the strainer was a bit choked and that he could not get away as quickly as he would have liked. Witness said that the choking of
