oumshaw" from tai paris that wo get to think that they are the only type of beggars in the Colony, This is definitely not the case,

It has sometimes been said that the average Chinese does little or no work of charity. This also is not the case. As a matter of fact, Chinese shopkeepers, in their own way, do charity all the year round

A walk along Queen's Road Cen- tral or along any of the Chinese business, district between '5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon will con- vince anyone that there is

great

deal of charity done daily by Chi- nese shop-keepers. If you walk in this district between the hours men- tioned you will see a beggur woman with a basket and a small mug. Inside the shop, round a big table the fokis are having what is known as the evening meal. Outside the beggar woman with her children waits. The woman and her children had not had a meal since the morning when they had eaten the remnants of the earlier meal from that shop Now the day is draw- ing to a close and the fokiś are having another meal. The hungry woman and her children looks on. One by one the fokia finish and. leave the table and finally the last one has finished. A "boy" will then take out to the waiting woman all the rice that is left uneaten. This is then pushed into her basket. The cooked vegetables, fish, meat and other food that goes with the rice in Chinese meal is all swept into the woman's mug. She then retires with her spoils to a stool or soapbox which is parked outside the shop. There she and her child- ren feed on the rice and sort out bits of meat, vegetables and other things swept into the mug. The size of the meal generally depends on the quantity of that is left over' and sometimes this quantity is not so big.

It is strange to relate that on festival holidays, the women and their children will have to go with out their daily rations from the shops. For on these holidays the fabia do not have their meals in the shop and such of them as remain on the premises, probably one or twa, cook just enough for them- selves. On these days, these poor people, who earn a few cents a day by doing sewing work for the coolies, have to buy their own meals.

NOISE

Feelings Of A Reasonable And Normal

Man Disturbed "

The summons against Mr. M. da Silva, the proprietor of the Casanova Dancing Institute, Hankow Road for causing or permitting to be caused a "noise calculated to disturb Mr. H. J. Luhring of 32, Hankow Road was con. cluded at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday when His Worship, Mr. H. R. Butters imposed a fine of $25,

Mr. Luhring, the complainant, stated that the noise was such that it drove him out of his house and he had to find peace and quiet in a cinema theatre.

The defence, which was conducted by Mr. Leo D'Almada, Snr., contended that the summons was taken out under the wrong section, and that the noise was created with no ill intention whatsoever. Furthermore even if his client were convicted, His Worship had no power to abate what was generally termed as “a public nuisance.?

NO POWER TO ABATE NUISANCE

In giving his decision his Wor-, 15 of the, same ordinance you will ship said, that he found that the find that "no noise is allowed 19 noise complained of, was calculat, be caused in a public street with ed to disturb the feelings of a out the permission of the S.C.A. reasonable and normal man." Al- "It would appear that that Section though the defence had contended meant to apply to Section three of that they had no intention of caus-

Regarding the abatement of the nuisance, His Worship said that although he had no power to do so, the re- idents in that locality had every right to summon the defendant, should such incident happen again, and the cases would be tried on their merit

The Defence,

In his submissions for the defence, Mr. D'Almada said that there was no animosity between the parties. The summons against his client was taken out under Section 13 of The writer has seen children Ordinance 40 (1939) which read that starving, crying for food on Chinese the defendant unlawfully did on New Year day simply because most July 8 last, make or caused or per- of the shops are closed Yet every-mitted to be made a noise to disturb where money is, being spent in feasting and celebrating and not a Ordinance was very, wide and it Mr. Luhring.

Mr. D'Almada then жеде on to say that the summons taken out against his client was not only to cover an isolated instance. There Hydrg Kisctrical & Sanitary Engineers „was not a shadow of doubt that the complainant would not take out the summons were it not for the fact that the noise was a continuous nuisance. Therefore the only ret son why Mr. Luhring came to Court was to ask His Worship to abate the nuisance but in his (Mr D'Almada's) opinion, he had such power. What the complain ant should have done was to go to a Civil Court to ask for an in junction to restrain his client from further carrying on what might be termed as public nuisance in the vicinity of Hankow road..
