Briefly, of course, but seemingly suf- ficiently, every place of interest in the Colony is referred to. history of such places is written with an historian's touch.

Already the air, way is the only way which leads quickly to open spaces and far horizons, which takes us rapidly away from the dust and exhaust fumes of the roads and the plague-centres of people. Neither train nor car for short journeys can give pleasure to travellers. The rain, with its complementary railway stations, is nothing more than a means to an end. Intrinsically it is both dull and dirty. No. city-dweller can obtain consolation from bag-lagging, porter-tip- ping, seat-haggling, and luggage-juggling. of this booklet is its fresh literary style.

on a par with handbooks one reads in stale tobacco smoke. The car did, for a England. time, fulfil that early promise. It did make short distance travelling pleasant. But then some philanthropists decided that the poor ought not to be denied the joys of the open road, and they set about to reduce the prices of cars and the cost of running them. By the blad geons of standardisation and mass pro- duction they subjadgated the motor-car to the mob. The cheap car and the charabanc appeared, and the open road was finally and irrevocably closed. By making it available to all, the philanthro pists had made it desirable to none. In stead of allowing a few people to get away from the crowd and enjoy the scenery they had. contrived to move the crowd about in A body and to prevent Anyone from enjoying anything.

Airman and Motorist.

A comparison of the journeying of the airman with that of the motorists shows convincingly that the aeroplane must soon supersede the car for pleasure travel over land. The motorist takes his

car from the garage, ratchets his way through London to the erstwhile open road, where he takes a place in an end- less chain of vehicles. If he passes one car he must immediately wedge himself in behind another, if he drops back other impatient people will boot at him and then sweep past him in a suffocating, in- furiating stream. If there is any sconery no one in the trafft chain has the time or temerity to notice it.

With the knowledge which Mr. Beaga has of Macao, and his capabilities, it is hoped that other books will come from his pen.
