Blow Yourself

to a Good Night's Rest

A cool room on a hot night is like an oasis in the desert. While others swelter and sweat, you can dream of cool woods and refreshing breezes. There's no sub- stitute for the cool, quiet circulation of air set up the minute you turn on an ELECTRIC FAN. It's wonderful what an Electric Fan and a little imagination will do.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

At last affairs seem to be moving quickly in China, and each day brings some fresh development the import of which can best be brought home to the folks in Great Britain through the "Overland China Mail."

Borodin, the main stalwart of Communism in China, has endeavoured in vain to win over General Chiang Kai-shek, and is now trying to woo the "Christian General."

Meanwhile, Hankow's main prop-Kiukiang-has fallen from its grasp by the local General and Chiang Kai-shek becom- ing reconciled. The nature of this menace is tersely told in the "Overland China Mail."

All the local happenings of the week, including the typhoon last week-end, will be found in the current issue. Why spend time writing a long letter when you can send all the news in a copy of the "Overland China Mail"?
