Many concerns sent in tenders for the works, these including British. French, American and Chinche interesst.
Alternative schemes were sub- milted by British and Chinese In- terests, which would have involved the use of local cement and labour for the piling of the wharves, Instend of steel, the tenderers stressing the point that not only would this method. of construction result in a lessening of expenditure, Ant that cement would be found more durable than aleel for this particular purpose.
Whilst the Netherlands Harbour Works has carried through many injor
in the construction projects Fur Fast with great success, and the Company has gained a worldwide reputation for eficiency, there is a feeling of disappointment in Chinese contracting circles that the alterna- tive schemes, involving the use of local cement and labour, have not been accepled.
It is also learned that British cireles here have received advices from Hongkong expressing disappointment that the contracts have not gone to British Interests, especially in view of the frequent declarations by Chinese officials in Canton strongly support- ing Sino-Dritish co-operation in re- construction work in South China.

West Scotland Yards Threaten Tie-Up
London, Apr. 13..
A more hopeful atmosphere prevails on the Clydeşide, where there are now 12,000 apprentices striking, following intervention by the Industrial Relations Department of the Ministry of Labour.
At the request of apprentices' representatives, Government officials are considering the situation in all its aspects, and they will place a proposal, the nature of which has not yet been revealed, before the shipbuilding employers and the Engineering Employees' Federation.
The main bone of contention now is not an increase of wages, but the refusal of the employers to recognise the right of the Unions to negotiate on behalf of the apprentices..
Unless the employers agree to a conference with the Unions by Wednesday, there will be a one-day strike in the West Scotland yards on Friday, involving 100,000 workers.-Reuter Bulletin Service.
YOUNG JAPANESE
LOSES MEMORY
A Japanese, aged about 20, is lying in the Hospital, suffering from complete Joss of memory.
Government Civil
Efforts by police and Japanese consular ofeinis to establish his identity, so far, have been unavall- ing.
He was walking down Chater Road yesterday afternoon when he sud- denly collapsed oulside Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co.'s premises.
It is believed that he is a seamon from Japanese vessel, but n check- up of the crews of ships in port yesterday has so far failed to bring to light any clue.

Do
o you
odolise?
There are still some who do not, and you may be amongst thorn.
Try the Odol way--just a few splashos of Odol, the famous liqui antiseptic dentifrice, in a halt tumblorful of water will thoroughly cleanse and purify the whole mouth, penetrating all cracks and crevices in and. between the teeth, permeating the gums, and lining membrane, and exerting its antiseptic and refreshing powers, not only during the few mo- mants while being used, but for hours affor.. It is this lasting effect that gives to Odolisers" the absolute assurance that their mouths are permanently profected from the bacteria and processes of fermentation.
