Another lady backs up the originator of the controversy with the charge that the bachelors cannot be kept away at the pahit, hour, whether the "Not At Home" box is dis- played or not.

There are two hotels in Ipoh, the ladies complain. Why should not the bachelors give an occa- sional dinner for a change? The Malayan convention that a bache lor need not return hospitality is overworked, they. Bay. AL together, there are the makings of a pretty little controversy in

"Married people grow tired of each others company, and it is common knowledge that husbands read the evening paper when they get home from the day's work, whilst the married mems pec- vishly do some sewing or make an envious study of the women's fashion books.

The motive of the crime was evidently not theft, as the jewel- lery which the murdered woman had been wearing was found on her body.

As the result of the investiga- tion into the circumstances of the crime, it is believed that it was committed at the very time when M. Quinet was passing rear the spot. Other people passed the spot without notic- ing anything.

The special committee which has been inquiring into methods for In- creasing the efficiency of the Sydney police has recommended that the Government should send at least three officers to Scotland Yard, and also to Paris and New York, if thought desirable. The inquiry followed a series of unsolved crimes, including, within recent months, the murder of a moneylender in broad daylight in the heart of Sydney, the murder of two women in suburban shops, outrages on a school girl and a young woman who was forcibly removed from a motor car, brutally assaulted and thrown into the bush, where she lay unconscious all night and was still semi-conscious a week Plater, and an assault on

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL ” · ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

Pride of place in this week's "Overland China Mail" is given to the news about the surprise capture of Tongshan in North China by the Nationalists from the Northerners. Thanks to the presence of the 1st Batt. Beds & Herts Regt. and other non-Chinese protective forces, foreign residents have been immune. Although there has been no event to cause uneasi- ness, the reports will be read with keen anticipation all over the world, providing as they do an instance of non-Chinese being altogether immune from the fighting although in the zone of hostilities.

As usual, the "Overland" has many pictures, being the only illustrated weekly summary of Hong Kong and China news published

There is an exclusive account of the murderous assault on Mr. H. C. Page; the Socony manager at Yunnanfu; the special cable news in connection with Hong Kong's victory at lawn bowls in Shanghai; terse descriptions of a Canton fort shelling a merchant boat and a disastrous fire close to the city; a despatch regarding the stoning of the Shanghai Municipal Police by rowdies and students; a series of articles and reports ** dealing with clan fights and tong wars of the Chinese in Kwangtung and abroad; and a variety of other, “stories" which will make pleasant reading to friends at Horse and absent Hong Kong-ites,
