A WEEK'S PAPERS

IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA

MAIL"

ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Even without the periodical series of questions in the House of Commons, China is still an important topic in the Home papers. The so-called "Fall of Peking" was given special prominence. Interest continues. And latest news from China will be welcome to people at Home.

This week's "Overland China Mail" describes Marshal Chiang Kai-shek's arrival at Peking, not so much as a conquering hero, but as a person who has fired the imagination of Chinese who have not seen him before. The events leading up to his journey to Peking are also recorded in the "Overland," together. with reports of occurrences in all parts of China in the public cyc.

Following the inquiry into the foundering of the British

s.s. "Kochow." the Chinese s.s. "Lee On" sank. Reports are included in the "Overland," together with an exclusive photo of the "Kochow" salvage.

The "Overland China Mair is the only ILLUS- TRATED weekly summary of Hong Kong and China news.

Among the features of this week are reports of Independ- ence Day observances, the arrest of a bobbed-hair girl Com- munist of 19, the discovery of an arms and dope cache on the hillside, and the latest Naval and Military movements in Hong Kong and China.

WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.

Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type. of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will

• have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.

By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland.” The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop- ments (reported in brief) while you are away.

Sir Harry and Lady Foster were celebrating their golden wedding. Sir Harry said to a "Daily Mall" reporter:

X-RAY DETECTIVE,

A NEW DEVICE AGAINST

SMUGGLERS.

A new terror for drug traffick- ers and other smugglers was suggested to a reporter at the new electrical clinic which has been opened in Baker-street. For the first time in Britain, it is said, a new stereoscopic X-ray apparatus from Germany. has been installed which will show exactly what is in a box full of goods, or any article lodged in a human body.

Packages of anything made of wood could be X-rayed, thus sav ing Customs officers unpacking them, said Mr. A. T. K. Moir, who revealed coins in a wooden box, the sides of which were an inch thick,

The Maharajah, of Burdwan, who watched the demonstration, said that the apparatus would be of immense value in hospitals where the involved process of taking photographs would be eliminated and everything done in about two minutes."

Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter said that there was need for such installa- tions throughout the country. Every big town needed a similar clinic.

AMERICA'S STAKE..

"I didn't see the others there, at the Court," sald Miss Davidson to an "Evening Standard" representa tive. "Perhaps I was too busy gazing."

When I went in and sat down waiting for my turn, I was sure- ly dazzled. I never saw anything like that in America-all those Ane-looking men in all sorts of costume. Do you know, I'd ex- pected them just to be in "tails." And then in we went, across the chamber where the King and Queen were sitting, out by a far door, and then back again.

The Queen smiled at everyone as they went past. Slowly it came my turn. I curtsied, and the

Carol declares that he is ready to return.

Miss Davidson concluded: "I'l say it was all marvellous,"
