No. 159. accountants who are the Conservative Party's accountants have begun proceed- ings in the courts clainfing large sum from the estate of the late Lord Farqua har, the former trenstirer of the Conser vative Party's funds.

The newspaper says that when Lard Farquahar, in January 1823. refused to allow Lord Younger, who was the head of the Conservative to take any

bare of the funds

It was, therefore, inconsistent to refust Lord Younger's demand on the ground that the money bolangal to the Coalition Party. When Lord Farquahar died, the remainder of this fund was still in his hand. He estimated the estate to be £800,000.

If Messrs. Hicks and' Company's claim seceads, Lord Farquahar's legates would find their shares in the estate greatly reduced, including Princes Arthur of Can- naught' and the Earl of Macduff's £100.000

ORDERING OF GOODS ABROAD. ་་།་ LONDON, February 26th. Keplying in the House of Commons, to a question suggesting that public bodies. in Britain had ordered nearly a million pounds' worth of goods abroad in the last few months and drawing attention, inter alia, to orders placed with Ameri ean and German firms by India, South Africa and Egypt, Mr. Sydney Webb re- lied that he was very doubtful if the suggested general enquiry into the ren sous why foreign mamifactures were able to underche British industries would serve any practicable purpose."

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing "overheating of the tyre and consequent fapid, deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results.

Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.
