It is now possible, at no great. additional cost, to introduce the charm of colour 'into ordinary concrete work. A new coloured cement is available- "Colorcrete" which possesses the advantage

and of a permanent 'standardised, colour. The two colours available at the moment are buff and red. Concrete made with "Colorcreta" is not only much more beautiful than ordinary concrete but it has the strength and hardens just as rapidly as concrete made with Ferrocrete," the rapid-hardening Portland cement. It gives in 4 days the strength of concrete made with ordinary Portland cement in 28 days.

"Colorcrete" is of .considerable value for all concrete constructional work where permanent colour would be an advantage. It gives a concrete. which harmonises perfectly with the natural surroundings, and which reduces glare due to the reflected rays of the sun,

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

An alleged murder of a Chinese, with several moat unusual features, including the apparent complete lack of motive, is being heard before the Chief Justice at the June Assizes. The medical evidence, which gave the cause of death as strangulation, was strongly challenged by defend- ing counsel, who suggested that there had been lack of method in conducting the post-mortem examination. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports the case in full.

*

The work of the Trinity College of Music, London, as outlined to Rotarians by Dr. Mislowski, visiting examiner, is fully dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, which also contains an exclusive report of a lecture by the same gentleman on “Form and Design in Music.”.

As a result of an attack on a Chinese woman' in Yaumati, à private in the Argyll and Sutherland High- landers was sentenced to nine months with hard labour at the Assizes. The jury found the man "Not Guilty,” of robbery as alleged, but guilty of common assault. The report appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Another Assize case of considerable 'public interest, which is included in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, resulted in the conviction of two Chinese on charges of uttering and possession of forged Hong Kong $10 Bl of Exchange stamps. 'They were caught in a Police trap, which called forth some criticism from counsel for the defence, who, asserted that the evidence for the Crown was a “purè in- vention." Sentence of four years' hard labour was passed on both prisoners.

The position of the new regime in. Canton, according to a variety of advices, is still none too secure. It is under.. stood that Nanking will shortly begin a campaign, and Chiang Kai-shek has already left to direct preliminary operations against the "Reds" in Kiangsi, In the meantime the approaches to Canton are being strongly fortified, and Canton officials express themselves as optimistic of ultimate success. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains all the latest news on the subject.

With the advent of more favourable weather, the Summer sports programme locally is in full swing, and good progress is being made in the lawn bowls, water polo, and tennis Leagues. Special reports appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
