You know Gas is best for cooking. The Radiation "New World" Cooker gives the additional advantages of AUTO- MATIC control of over-heat, by means of the "Regulo" dial. It has no ironwork on the sides of the oven, and it is designed expressly for labour-saving at every point. Whole dinners-joint, vege tables and sweets-can be cooked at one dial-setting and without once opening the oven door until the proper cooking-time has elapsed. Think of the worry this saves you. Think of the many other things you are free to do while the "New World" cooks
your dinner for you automatically.

I saw this work being done at Marlborough College and was impressed by the results which may be expected from Perhaps something of this kind gould be started in Hongkong. While in England, I also had the opportunity of meeting the Chief Scout, Sir Robert Baden Powell; who takes a very keen interest in the work done by the Hongkong branch of the Boy Scouts' Associa- tion, and who, I am sure, would wish me to give you his greetings on this occasion, (Applause).

This Branch of Scouting is probably the most dif- ficult to run, and so far its special aims and methods have hardly been grasped sufficiently well for us to expect great advance.
