THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY," NOVEMBER 14, 1956.

Now Boys, Beware Of Those Sirens Of The Tennis Courts

For all those interested in a really authoritative, farseeing volume on sport may I recommend the "Boys' Own Book" (726 pages of small type, published by Crosby, Lockwood & Co., of London). Sorry. I can't quote the price or even the date. Somewhere around 1865, I think!

indebted to Major Reggie For drawing my attention to it, I am Applewhaite, the Manchester lawn tennis coach, who knows a good book when he sees one, and has been looking at this one on his bookshelf for nigh on a quarter of a century.

England's soccer, selectors are out of the wilderness. The team to meet Wales at Wembley today is a refreshing change from the curious collection of individuals who have been shoved into national teams of late. It takes courage to admit one's mistakes, more courage to put one's house in order. Changes after the unfortunate England-Ireland affair had to come, But this time the right changes have been made.

many Doctors

HAVE you ever wondered why so many doctors in their own surgeries ase Wright's Coal Tar Soap to wash their hands?

It's not as if Weight's was a Medic- ated Hosp.

The reason is that they have found Wright's keeps their hands softer, more seltro and, of course, completely. gerin-free.

10 Wright's can do this for Doctors, whatcaolt do for you and your children ? Wright's Coal Tar Soap la the kindest toilet soap of all, it is kind to your skin; kind to your complexion, kind to your children--and so refreshing to use.
