When next the Bodyguard appears on parade it is expected that practi cally all will be beardless.
At first there was some hesitancy, for custom dies hard. But as first one and then another began to shave, the phers were ready to follow. The truth is that the men did not like their beards.
Sergt.-Major A. Lockyer, of the Bodyguard, and formerly of the 1st. Royal Dragoon Guards, confessed: "We spend comparatively little of our time in uniform, and when we appeared in elvilian dress our beards. were frequently a source of annoy- ance to us.

ALLEGED FRAUD
ON GOVERNMENT
POSTAGE FEES SAID EVADED
"It is a deliberate and calculated attempt to evade payment of and defraud the Government of proper postage feca," said Mr. M. J. Abbott, the Assistant Crown Solicitor, when prosecuting the licensees of three Chinese
houses for having boarding posted registered parcels containing letters, addressed to different per- sons, before Mr. S. F. Balfour, at the Central Magistracy this morning,
The defendants were Lai Chiu, l- censee of the Ping On Chait boarding house, No. 20 Connaught Road West, summoned on two counts in respect of 80 letters in one registered packet and 00 in another.
Mr. M. J. Abbott conducted the ense for the Crown, for which Mr. II. R. Butters, the Postmaster General was the complainant, and Mr. D. McCallum appeared for the defen- dants.
J
Opening the case for, the Crown, Mr. Abbott said the defendants were charged with a breach of the Regula- tion 14 in the Government Ordinance 118 of February 26, 1932.
PACKETS OPENED.
Mr. Abbott said that on July 27, the Postmaster General, Mr, Butters, received and personally opened a rei gistered packet containing four re- Kistered covers, and also three unregistered covers which were not the subject of the charge. The four registered covers bore the registered numbers II.K. 495B, I.K. 021B. H.K. 550A and Sheung Wan 0084. Sheung Wan was a branch of the Post Office near the Western Market.
Inside 405B were found no less than 82 letters directed to different persons 6218 contained 60 letters: 556A contained 18 letters and 6034, 36 letters, making a total of 105 letters. The -total- postage. paid...on. the four covers, exclusive of the re- gistration fees, was $2.30.
It would be a simple matter, said Mr. Abbott, to find out what 82 let- Lors at 15 cents ench would cost, com- pared with 85 cents for which packet 4958. was registered, and similarly in Ench the case of the other covera. cover bore a registration fee of 20 cents. cents, making a total of 80 Here again it would be a simple mat tor to find out the cost of registering 82 letters. The loss to the revenue obviously would have been consider able if the letters had reached their respective destinations.
Mr. Bulters wanted to ascertain what the letters were about, and solected 20 from the four covers and sent them to Mr. Fung, translator of the B. C. A., who translated them to and found them to be addressed various individuals in Singapore. The letters seemed to deal with family affairs.
THE SENDERS
The sender of 1058 and 021B was Ping On-chan, No. 20B Connaught Road, and the sender of 556A was Ki Sang-chan, No. 68 Connaught Road Central, and of 0084, Cheung Fat- chan, No. 129 Connaught Road Cen- tral. These were found to be board- ing houses, and Mr. Fing would give ev.dence to the effect that the licensee of the Ping On-chan was Fung Kui-ting: of the Cheung Fat Chan, Lai Chiu; and of the Ki Sang- chan, Lai Chung-ling
"It might bo said, added Mr. Abbott, that had the letters been
sent soparately they would certainly not have been registered; but his sub- mission was that the offence of the renders would be aggravated by the Intention or attempt to escape deten bon by registration or, on the other hand, the loss to the revenue must ba loss.computed from the total of the various registration fees.
It was a very serious matter, and one could imagine what the loss to the revenue would have been if it was allowed to continue, Clabbed pack- ages could only be sent by or received by a person consod, but Mr. Butters would say that at the present time there were no puch Beences,
