Mr. Feurtes was on his way home, to No. 49, Haiphong Road, and was walking along Cameron Road after" alighting from a bus when the at tack took place.

Two Chinese approached him and asked him for a match. Having had his attention thus drawn, one of them threw pepper in his eyes, while the other brandished a large knife at him.

Mr. Fueries was compelled to hand over his wallet, in which was 843 and the men then dreamped.

BATTERY STREET-THE PRIDE OF YAUMATI!

Overcrowding, Dirt And Unwashed Children

(By Our Special Correspondent)

- Some people are never satisfied, and the more they" get, the more they want. Hong Kong people are no exception, and I must confess that I too, am never satisfied with my little lot. If only some of us knew how well off we really are, as compared with the genuinely poor people, we would, perhaps, hesitate before grumbling at the world in general.

A good cure for the discontented would be a visit to Battery Street' in the heart of the "slum quarter in Yaumati. It is highly surpris- ing that with buildings going up, so rapidly in Kowloon, these sorry and shably structures are not condemn ed and pulled down promptly.

but it is by no means impossible, for I am sure I must have seen about thirty people in the flat I visited.

The greatest danger, to my mind, about these houses, is the out- break of one of the more deadly and highly infectious forms of epidemic. There is no fresh air in the rooms, and as the people sleep so close to each other, the pos- || sibility of catching disease is very great. Most of them" sleep in wooden bunks, two or even three- "stories" high, "and they "are put as close together as possible in order to save space. Little wonder them. that many Chinese bables are in such a pitiable state. There I was shown round one of these is no fresh air, and no proper houses by the rating officer in nourishment is given them, for charge of that district the other these little mites are very often left day, and to put it mildly, the sight alone for hours on end while "mother" is busy out at work.

Most of the houses in Battery Street are of the old two-storey type, and they are not only badly lit and ventilated, but in most cases. they are, also disgustingly. dirty and in a sad state of dis- repair. Some of the roofs were, understand, leaking badly, and whenever there is a heavy fall of rain, the people living in them get their clothes, and bedding soaked. Neither dirt nor congestion seems. to worry these poor people, for a 'floor is shared by as many as five or six familles averaging about four

FIGHT FOR "LADY”

Three Siamese Students Charged

Three Siamese studenta, Hoon Chong Phong-tien, 17, Kwan Charoen, 20, and Thomas Yee, 24, appeared before Mr. Balfour in the Central Police Court yesterday charged with fighting.

Hoon Phong-tien was also charged with having a "life preservar" and was fined $100. He was bound over for fighting.

Kwan was discharged and Thomas Yee was bound over. Mr. RC. H Lim, instructed by Messrs. Ruse & Company, appeared for the first and

second defendants. *.

A quarrel over a girl in the Buts terfly Dancing Academy on Friday night ended in a free fight near the Central Market, and but for the in- tervention of a Police Reservist, Mr. Ho Yiu-nam, might have had serious results.

So much for the children. Con- ditions are the same where the "grown-ups are concerned, for after a hard day's work, they find it im possible to get any decent sleep. and the result is that on the mor- row, they go to work, only half- rested.

Most of the furniture, including the staircases, is of half-rotten wood, and if a Bra ever breaks out in any one of these houses, the chances are that the whole row will be set alight in next to no time.

THE FAR EASTERN OLYMPIC

Preparations For Manila Meeting

Manila, P.I.

The breaking of more world swim ming records by Japan's youthful mermen is in prospect for the Tenth Far Eastern Olympic Games to be held here in 1934

The Japan Swimming Federation has nominated 14 stars, including 11 who were members of the team which swept the water speed events at Los

Angeles last year, for the Manila

games.

The Far Eastern Olympics, open only to Asiatic nations, for years alter their establishment in 1913 were in reality a duel weet between the Japa nese and Filipinos, but more recently the Chinese have been showing to better advantage.

In addition an applica tion was filed by Manchukuo, but it was believed likely that the Chinese would follow the policy of withholding any recognition from the Japan sponsored state.

Lengthy Preparations. Preparations have been going on for. months to make the 1934 games the

Fourth Time Host.

Manila will be the host for the fourth time, as the carnival was held here in 1913, 1818, and in 1925. Shanghai was the scene of the games in 1815, 1921, and 1927, and Tokyo in 1917, and 1930 and Osaka in 1993,
