A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Experts are agreed that the time is now ripe for rapid progress in Canton where conditions have again settled down to normal. Improvement in the Canton situation means increased trade for Hong Kong. And increased trade is some- thing worth booming all over the world.

How better times have set in is explained carefully and simply in the "Overland China Mail." Hong Kong-ites should make it their duty to tell their business connections and their friends abroad that opportunities are available and the easiest and fairest way of doing so is by sending them copies of the "Overland."

This number of the "Overland" has a series of articles written specially for the benefit of those unconversant with China. These articles will be appreciated by folks at Home who often wonder what our surroundings are.

Tell them how Hong Kong has once more found plenty of money to spend at the annual races, how Canton is sincere in her policy to put down pirates, bandits and Communists- and how the outlook now is better than for nearly three years.

To a reporter Miss Eva Tapley, the manageress, said:-

I'was alone in the shop when I Buddenly saw a man in front of me. Over his head was a piece of serge material, and I could see only the tip of his nose. He pointed in my face something covered with a plece. of serge, and shouted out, "Your money or your life."!

I knocked his hand up and said, "Don't be a fool!" I then put my arm on t till' and resisted his efforts to n it. He picked up a model of a white horse used as an advertisement and flung it at me, striking me on the forehead and smashing the ornament. Although injured. I was still able to resist him, and he looked round for some- thing else to throw at me. I came round to the front of the counter after him, and with that he ran out of the shop. A young man

next door chased him down Leicester- place as far as Leicester-square, where he was lost.
