SPORTS SHIRTS.

The New Polo style Shirt has become extremely popular on account of its sensible suitability for modern day sports. The short sleeve, neat neck and absence of annoying surplus "tuck-in" material ensure last-. ing comfort and allow maximum activity and concentration all' the time.

The faster the game; the hotter. the day, the more you will ap- preciate the benefit of these sports shirts.

New Service Inaugurated by Sir Samuel Hoare

LONDON-BOMBAY TALK

(Special Air-Mail Service)

LONDON, May 2. Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary of State for India, inaugurated from London yesterday the new radio telephone service from Britain to India by having a conversation with an old colleague and friend, Sir Frederick Sykes, Governor of Bombay.

This is the last big telephone link joining up the Empire, to any part of which it is possible now; with the exception of one or two Crown Colonies, to speak direct by *.phone from any part of Britain..

The transmission path of the new link is as follows:-

London to Poona-Subscriber to London; as miles of land line to P.O. transmitting station at

*** VENUS *** Perhaps the President of the Royal Academy may remind the Duke of Gloucester that George III's younger brother, who held the title, presented in 1780 a vary fine cast of the famous statue of the Venus de Medici. Our some what prudish ancestors, however, thought that it was too much of a display of the nude in art when shown in the old rooms at Somer- set Houso.

But their objections were as noi thing compared with the uprost when the American artist, Robert Pine, took another cast of the Venus back to New York in 1782.

He had to keep it shut up in a case, an American writer's comment being, "The manners of our coun- try would not then tolerate the public exhibition of * such & figure."

A BOOM IN BOATERS One hundred hat manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers, all of them members of the Hatters' Style Research Association, will meet in London to discuss the future of the 'straw hat in general, and plans for "national straw hat day" in particular. Although details of this hatters' festival, which falls on June 16, have yet to be discussed, this year's stocks and styles are already in many of the hat shops waiting for another spell of sun- shine to bring them out of their band boxes. The new styles, which were decided on as long ago as lost autumn, are marked by much deep- er crowns, much narrower brims, and a wider use of the saw edge.

Hatters, as everyone knows, are no imaginative class of men, but this year they are outdoing each other in feats of optimisrn. They: have a real basis for it in the fact that the United States is a boater- Lai Kwai Heung was fined $20 Rugby: 4300 miles radio to the In-hatted nation in summer, after or ten days' and 3100 or five weeks' dinn receiving station at Dond; 47 trying panamas and soft hate of hard Inbour for possession of four miles of land line to the control sta all kinds.
