SIJAMMEN DEFEAT H.M.S. "CICALA"
[From Our Own Correspondent]
Canton, Yesterday.
In an exciting, though by no means good, match on Fati this week, the Sha- meen Sports Club beat H.M.S. "Cimale" by 7 runs.

This is especially the case with men in outdor occupations. It is essential therefore, to work up any and every outside occupation in life for these mer so that they will have something to live for and occupy their minds when they retire.
“I am in favour of compulsory re- ciring at the age of sixty-ive, that is before they become too old to work up other interests."
Mr. Ord give as an illustration | the case of twelve engine drivers employed by the Canadian Pacifie Railway whe retired at about the age of seventy. Eleven of these men died within the first year of their retirement. Since then the authorities had been careful to re- tire the men earlier.
Mr. T. Malcolm Stewart, Chair- man of the Associated Portland Cement Manufactories, Ltd., who presided at the morning session; said that wonderful results, could be obtained from employees if they were treated in the right spirit. "Confidence," he said, "begets con- fidence."

The patient was a man of 50 who suffered from acute depression, irresolution, and apathy. Many other remedies had been tried in vain, but after a few flights his de- pression disappeared, and was re- placed by "an unusual delight in his work."
The therapeutic agent in such mental cases is believed to be the excitement of the novel experience of ascending in an aeroplane, and the effort of will by the patient which is necessary before he can be induced to undertake it.
