favourite team, Lila Leo, Harold

Goodwin, Jimmy De La Cruze and Alan Roscoe handle their reles with skill and artistry.

Loops, tail-spins and Immelman turns provide, thrills galore for aviation enthusitats. Fundamental- ly an aerial production, a beautiful and poignant love story is told against the background of breath- taking MANUVrch among clouds.

Ex-

The defence was that the gues Lion of exchange had been settled long ago and that, if plaintiff» failed to cash the promissory notes when they became due, it was no fault of the defence. Furthermore, the rubber wire was not in necord- anee with the contract standard.

Counsel in the case were Drs. Francis S. Liu, W. Vogel and Mr. Tseu Tu, for plaintiffs, and Dr. L. C. Yang, for the defence.
