Still further encouraged by com- plimentary friends to continue writing helpful hints for the un sophisticated, I have much pleasure this week in submitting D few suggestions for motorists. If, dear reader, you happen not to be the owner of a car, don't let that trifling circumstance dissuade you from reading on a little further. I can tell you how to become possess. ed of a car very easily-not on the long-drawn-out hire-purchase sys tem, but quickly and for nothing, or next to nothing-say five dollars at the outside, if you are living on Hong Kong side. Every night there are cars left scattered about the streets of Kowloon waiting for people to drive them away. Why not take advantage of this tempting offer? If their owners are cruel and callous enough to leave their Morribeckera and Stud cowleys out in the cold all night, they deserve to lose them. Well, having now got our car, the next thing is to learn how to treat it kindly. Nover forget to keep the gears well stripped for action. Watch your batteries, and be sure to keep them dry. When pushing the lever in reverse, keep your eye. (or eyes) fixed on the radiator cap; by this simple method all strain on the neck muscles caused by looking

patient efforts to reach a settlement are likely soon to reach fruition.

Tokyo, March 13th. A deadlock has been reached at Nanking owing to Dr. Wang's obstinate attitude.

NANXING, March 14th. As a result of Mr. Yoshizawa's overbearing arrogance, Sino-Japan- ese discussions have come to a dead- lock.

TOKYO, March 15th Contrary to earlier reports, it is authoritatively stated that discus sions between Mr. Yoshizawa and Dr. Wang are proceeding with the utmost cordiality,

NANKING, March 18th- Reports from Tokyo that Bino- Japanese conversations are proceed- ing are absolutely unfounded. The deadlock remains unbroken, and will continue until Japan recognises the justice of China's modest do mands.

See that your tyres are all nicely flattened before starting on a long drive; nothing looks worse than wheels with big. fat tyres bulging to the point of barsting. Switching on the ignition facilitates casy starting these cold mornings. By engaging first gear before swinging the starting-handle, one can save time in getting away. To ascertain whether there is any petrol in the tank, apply alighted extras: match; this method can be most usefully employed in the Happy Valley district.

to the confusion of those who have robbed a poor man of his beer after Ithe hour of ten at night. Pity the unlucky policeman who, after a weary spell of duty, staggers feebly into his club at 10.1 p.m. yearning for refreshment and finds himself barred from the bar!

--

Bottlethwaite is rather concerned about this Pussyfooting, as he calls it, and wonders whether this early- closing ordinance may not be ap- plied to other Clubs in the Colors. As Bottlethwaite says, if a police- man can't be trusted to keep sober after ten o'clock at night, who can ?

And they are complaining in Scotland about the falling-off of the whisky business. No wonder ex- Ports are diminishing, and now that the Police Club bar is closed at ten, there will be a further alemp in the trade, unless the parched policemen join the tennis and bowls clube and got their Aftarten thirsts quenched that way
