Your Underwear

This is

a subject which, literally, touches you very closely-next the skin. Many a man is wisely clad without and scantily clad within:

Colds are often the fruits of carelessness. Put not your trust in weather prophecies, lest a chill should smite thee. In other words good under- wear acts as a barrier between you and the intemperances of the weather.

Let us show you our stock of good underwear.

The carnival was organized 23 years ago under the influence of Mr. W. Cameron Forbes, then Governor-General and now Ameri- can Ambassador to Japan.

Ambassador's Visit,

Mr. Forbes will arrive in Manila during the midst of the carnival for his first visit to the islands in almost a decade, and it is the de. sire of the carnival management to arrange some means of publicly honouring the founder.

Just what will be done in this respect will await Mr. Forbes' ar rival on February 9.

The lust clause of the "Guides to exchange of lensee states that "as from date of com. ing into force of these Regulations and onwards, the British Crown cases which are not exchanged for Chinese deeds shall hear no legal effect on and renday no legal pro- tretion to the land in respect of which it is issued."

Mr. Wang Yuk Tsu, another wit ncas called for the defence, stated that there was a dispute at the meeting, but he pacifed the gather. ing by pointing out how useless it was to quarrel when the only thing the shareholders desired was their rights and privileges. These, be contended were the chartering of the ships and the paying of a dividend.

Police Officer's Recollections, Sergt. Hill stated in evidence that he attended the meeting at the re- quest of Mr. Ng Tung Kai as a personal bodyguard and to prevent any disturbance. He arrived at the meeting at 2 p.m., and did not leave until 6 p.m. There were over 200 people present. At about 4 o'clock, about 150 left the building. He thought the meeting had cluded and asked if he could go, but Mr. Ng Tung Kai requested him to atay, as he feared the other people might return and make trouble. About 50 people were left behind and they conducted another meeting. The departure of the 150, was accompanied by a lot of talk- ing but very little disorder.

Cross-examined, witness said that he had attended a few meetings in his time, but never one like that, It was extremely stormy, and he thought that Mr. Li and the solicitors left because they - were afraid there might be trouble. They seemed to give the meeting up as a bad job, as it was quite out of control. There was no trouble

One can so that there may be some use in repeat- ing in tabular form the particular, ahout the area, and boundaries of lot, which are of course, given in the Crown Losse, but just why one should put down the assessed value of the land and the buildings at the second part of the meet- er the yearly income from the pro-ing. perty it is hard to see.
