THE HONGKONG BAILĪ PRESS, TUESDAYT. JUNE 187, 1920
K Makers have spent two Years in perfecting the crope rubber soled shoe. Last year they overcame the differbly of making rubber soles weld immovably by mena of a new and successful method. This year they have applied the non- skid principle of the motor tyre to K crepe shoes. The circular holes in the outer layer of rubber give a Lr suction grip and also help to prevent the tough crepe rubber from spreading.

A FINE TRADITION. Eric Charles Handyside will be remem bered as one of à long line of British officers military and civil, who have maintained on the frontier the traditions of John Nichelson, who was killed in his thirty-sixth year at the storming of Delhi. After the lapse of more than two generations the name of "Nikkul Seyn Saheb" is still fresh on the frontier. He had extraordinary powers of command; he could be stern to evil but tender to suffering; and the tribesmen regarded him as a demi-god.
This great man had fitting associates. Conspicuous amongst them were Sir Herbert Edwardes, whom John Lawrence so well described as a born ruler of men"; Reynell Taylor, "the Bayard of the Punjab Sir James Abbot, who held the Hazara country against the Khalsa in the second Sikh war, and whose name is preserved in the town of Abbottabad. There was also Frederick Mackeson, Commissioner of Peshawar, of whom Dalhousie wrote when he was as anasinated by a religious fanatic that "he was the beau ideal of a soldier cool to conceive, brave to dare, and strong to do," and whose lose would have dimmed a victory,"

These mighty men of valour have not lacked successors in later days, though opportunities for fame have been less constant than when British authority was being established and consolidated up to the existing frontier. Only a few out standing names can here be recalled
