HAPHAZARD WAYS OF

The Kowloon Motor Bus Company have had a fairly long period i which to prove their efficiency in running the bus service for the whole of Kowloon as well as the New Territories, but without being

the Court that according to the complainant, she was going to work in a ricksha on Tuesday morn ing and on her way she met the defendant who went up to her and gave her a slap in the face.. She got out of the rickshaw, seized the defendant and handed him over to the Police.

Complainant then went into the box and gave evidence bearing out the officer's opening remarks. She added that about three month's ago, she saw the defendant who asked her for money. She said she had uane but gave him food and after that he came to her house for food three days running. On the third day he asked for a loan of $100 but this was refused. Witness went on to say that one evening, later on, she was on her way home when she Saw Rosario near the house. He pushed her into a door and then threw something in her face which she Afterwards discovered had been burnt.

She reported the matter to the Police, but did not see defendant for about two months until Tues- day when the alleged assault took place.

Complainant stated that when she was holding him pending the arrival of the Police after the alleged incident, defendant threw something over a wall, but this was recovered by the Police. It was stated that the packet contained what ная believed to be some Chinese medicine,

Asked if he wished to question the witness, defendant produced some documents which he alleged had been written by the complain ant to him. He said that he had known the complainant for the last ten years and had lived with her for about two months this year.

Complainant denied these allege-

tions.

Defendant also stated that it was raining at the time of the alleged assault, and the hood of the rick

haw was down.

The cover in front was also on and he could not therefore have assaulted complain- ant in the manner described,"

Complainant admitted that the hood was on, but not the cover,

not made a very good job "of it, Maybe it is due to the feet that having to cater for such a large number of people has proved to be A harder task than was at first thought.

The public do not seem to realise that catering for the transportation of a place the size of Kowloon is no sinecure, and that there must necessarily be a lot of details to be attended to before the service can be anywhere near perfect: To begin with there are the many routes that have to be maintained, and for the smooth-running of the service, the Company would not be going far wrong if they were to employ a few Europerin inspectors. It is an ac knowledged fact that the Chinese inspectors, carry out their duties quite well, in so far as examining tickets are concerned. These in- spectors, unfortunately, do not com- mand any respect from drivers or conductors, and where there is a lack of respect for one's superiors.. there muss necessarily be a lack of discipline.

A Wobbly Conductor.

Leaking Roods.

As an ending to this article, I would like to draw the attention of the management to the spell of dry weather that we are now hav ing. It would be a good thing if they took this opportunity to repair all the leakages in their buses. Some of the tops of the vehicles were in such a disgraceful state of disrepair that one could not get a dry seat in 'the bus during the recent wet weather, and some one allowed to go on ht this rate, pas- aptly remarked that if things were sengers in these buses would soon have to open their umbrellas to keep themselves dry when travelling in any of the vehicles.

A quarterly non-political review of life and conditions in China.

Changing China is an interesting and useful quarterly. The articles which it contains have been written in the form of letters by men and women of various ranks of life who are living in the interior of China. They are not professional writers with any axe to grind but are describing what they have actually seen and experienced. The reader gets a picture or rather a series of pictures of life in Modem China, and the same time a resume of the progress made in industrial development during the past quarter
