To-night in Volunteer Drill Hall

The Variety Entertainment ar ranged by Mrs. Barrett will be given to-night and to-morrow night at 9.30 p.m. in the Drill Hall of the H.K.V.D.C..

The entertainment, it will be re- membered, has been organised with two ends in view, one to raise funds for a most deserving cause, that of the Disabled Officers Garden Homes Fund, and the other, to start a fund for re-opening the Cheer O Club. The second, cause needs no special pleading to Hong Kong people, but the first is no less worthy of consideration. All of us who escaped the full horrors of the great war must realise that we have n duty to those who paid dearly for cur security, and no case le more pathetic than that of the man who left home and children to serve, and came back so jarred and becken, that he has never been able to take his real place in the ranks of wage earning civilians.

The engine is made by the Wolse- ley company, and is an air-cooled radial. The original design was produced many months ago, and since then a large amount of test and experimental work has been done on the engine with the object of perfecting it before it is placed

"No Canse for Pessimism."

Bir Henry Betterton, Minister of Labour, speaking recently at a luncheon of the Council of the Ns- tional Chamber of Trade in Lon don, said: "We are going through very difficult times, but in my view there is no cause whatever either for pessimism or still less for de-
