EW of us are able to do what we like in this
world. We have to adjust ourselves to many things--lack of money, social requirements, family disputes and responsibilities.
It is all the more necessary for the forinight or more we call "our holidays" during sum- mer, when we go to Japan or Tsingtao, that we strive to com- Stubbs Rd. bine the thrill of novelty with the satisfaction of physical and mental enjoyment.

Strive always for change in choosing a holiday.
If you are tired of life, get a holiday, at once, if you can.
Spend the first day quietly at home, and towards the evening take a physical and mental inventory of yourself,
Are you too fat? Have you flabby muscles? Do you sleep badly and suffer from indiges- tion?
The mental inventory will be more difficult. Nobody likes to admit he is selfish, indolent, hostile to other people and to
life.
The best change for such people is a holiday from the old self, while building up a now and happier personality.

The conjuring up of these glowing prospects is
tract foolish people, and is not based on the known-outlook-of- the companies whose stocks figure in the speculative list. In other words, the public is being asked to remain in, or enter, the market on a possibility which may or may not be borne out by events. It is not to be denied that big money has been made by speculators who entered the market in the early days of the boom; this fact is ideal without question being used as bait them. with a view to keeping alive a movement which is wholly alien to Hongkong and which is having detrimental effects on legitimate business in local stocks and shares.
