FAILURE OF A CLAIM
FOR COMMISSION. »»
CHINESE SUES HIS FORMER EMPLOYER.
The sale of a motor-ear resulted in an action being heard in the morning Summary Court this before Mr. Justice Jacks, when Tang Hing aued Majjid Khan for the sum of $50. Both parties conducted their own enses..
Plaintiff stated that he was originally employed by defendant ns the driver of the car but be was told that defendant wanted to sell it for not less than $1,200. He was also told that if he suc ceeded in selling it for that amount he was to receive $50 com- mission, and any balance over $1,200 he obtained on the selling price he could have. He claimed that he sold the car for $1,300 and although he had been paid his commission he had not received the full $100 excess.
•
Defendunt said he entrusted the management of the car to his nephew and he had nothing to do with the matter. He confirmed the selling of the car, saying his nephew.brought the money to him and asked for $50 for the seller. He picked out 550, gave it to his nephew, and as far as he was con- cerned the transaction was then 'finished. Defendant denied he had given instructions that any balance over $1,200 should be Kiven to plaintiff.
Defendant's nephew gave evidence in support of defendant's story, after which his Lordship said he was not satisfied with plaintiff's case. Judgment was given for defendant,

The first air safety congress is to be held in Paris, from Decem- ber 10 to 25, under the patronage of President Doumargue. It is expected that representatives from all the countries of Europe, the United States, Japan, Canada and other nations will attend. De- vices and methods of promoting safety for planes will be discuss- ed.
But the ground must be careful- ly chosen if the best results are to be secured.
That is why the enterprising advertiser avoids stale ground.
It must be fresh.......fertile! The daily newspaper is ever fresh, ever of interest to the readers, and it naturally follows that the greater the number of daily readers, the greater, the measure of success from each .from advertising message.. each seed planted.
