Losoy, March 11th There were lively seenes in the House of Commons today at the comunitare stage of the Rent Restrictions Bill that Gov. ernment did not intend to back up.

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.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.
