I read in one of the local jour- How perfectly lovely! Here, in nala a day or two ago that Govern one and the same issue of the D.Pinent White Paper 0/1920 is a

It should be most stated that while 190 shareholders interesting reading. And a White had promised to support a certain proposal, "all but a handful," stayed away from the meeting For sheer apathy, says this second letter-writer the Hong Kong public is hard to beat!

I would like to pub- Jish an analysis of some Bouls from (or in) Hong Kong!

Boosting Silver.

And while on the subject of gold and near-gold I am reminded of that other precious (1) metal, silver. We don't hear much about the stuff nowadays, but there's a lot of it still in the market. and I discovered the fact in a curious

down to the hundred-yard dashers. Now why, instead of neat silver cups, mugs should be given as prizes when some of the people, who won them already possess prize mugs I am at a loss to understand. It cannot be the intention of the donors to encourage young athletes to take to beer-drinking. Timo enough for that when they get to my age, and take a full 11 scoonds to do 100 yards or is it 100 seconds to do 11 yards! The only other explanation can think of. is that there is a movement on foot to boost the silver market by creating a shortage of the metal. The big- ger the mugs, the more silver s used, and the more metal there is used, the less there is in stock, and the less there is in stock the higher the price, and the higher the price the better the dollar, and the better the--but why bring that up!
