CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS. A The Weekly paper that sapes puu the trouble of writing Home.

Interest this week is centred primarily in the rupture between China and Russia. News from this part of the world

is always very welcome in other parts, where much attention is being devoted to developments. The "Overland China Mail" contains the news that is desired. And it is the only weekly news budget printed in Hong Kong with pictures.

Of considerable importance also is the water shortage. The first corner has been turned, much to the relief of the Government and the public, but the problem is not completely solved yet. It will be instructive to folks at Home to read how every drop of rain and each gallon of water is being watched studiously; and the "Overland" will tell them all the news about it.

The local tribunals have had a very busy week. In certain proceedings, a discourse on the mui tsai was given by an acknowledged expert, whose views will be very care- The Jub RENT JERS ́fully read in Britain, we are sure.

provided fair "copy" and the holding of two District Courts Martial on one day is not altogether common. Much criticism of films was made at the annual meeting of Hong Kong Amusements Limited.

The "Overland" gives the news of the week, local, social, sport, "China" political, etc. Be sure to get your copy.
