One of the most important announcements in the program- me for the coming year is the complate mechanisation of the police force. In view of the success of EVA, Hong Kong's aulo- : matie traile cop, and the growth of the duties which the police have to perform, it has been decided that human beings can no longer be expected to keep the Colony là a state of order. They are therefore to be replaced by ROBOT-POLICEMEN,

These Robots, two hundred in number, are to be constructed at a "cost of half a million dollars apiece. They will have at- fractive, and distinctively smiling faces painted on them by a local artist. They will be able to contrat traffic, blow whistles, and recognise instantly by a high pitched mean, the presence of an unmuzzled dog, „
