RESIDENTS WHO ARE GOING HOME ON LEAVE

Before it is too late place an order with the "Overland China Mail" for regular delivery to any address in the world if you are going on leave this year.

→

Several residents who were Home in 1928 sent out ante- dated orders. Their doing so is proof that they wanted to "keep in touch," overlooked the necessity of leaving word with the "Overland," and then tried to make up for lost time, which is a pity.

There is no need to do so. If you are asked when on holiday what is happening out here you needn't scratch your head and smile. The "Overland" is posted to catch the mail every week and to reach you. It is the weekly edition of the "China Mail" and the only illustrated weekly news summary published in Hong Kong. It contains all the "local" and "China" "nows and the best pictures.

THIS WEEK'S NUMBER

This week's "Overland" will be acceptable anywhere, It recalls the exploits of H.M.'s armed launches on the West River during five years' trying service. These three boats are to be withdrawn. Their place is being taken by Chinese gunboats built in Hong Kong. One of these has already taken part in the rounding up of Communists at Kongmoon; and the story is told in the "Overland."

The Colony's new tobacco taxes, how Hong Kong cele brated another China New Year, and the developments at Chefoo,, threatening danger to foreigners, are among the features of this week's "Overland." Be sure to get your copy in time for sending away-
