"Nanchang, Jan, 15.
Just as the past two years were, "Bandit-Suppression. Years,” chief- ly spent in the extermination of "Red", outlaws, the current year will be termed "Reconstruction Year," in which the Provincial au thorities will be devoted to recon- structive purposes. A comprehen- "sive programme, which will occupy the whole year, has been drawn up by the Klangsi Provincial Govern- ment, of which the following is the broad cutline:
of the porcelain Industry: control and operation of tungsten mines: establishment of paper mills and development of rural co-operatives.
Municipal construction of Nan- chang embodies the erection of an electric power" plant and water works;" construction of main thoroughfares; building of one- third of contemplated primary school buildings; opening of parks and building of a Provincial Gov ernment House.

Haifa, Jan. 22,
The first English tank ship to take on fragi ol was loaded on
expense. Those whose business jakes it necessary for them to adopt the quickest possible means ci transportation, cannot help patronising the air services, when public-generally to consider the they are introduced. But for the
alternative of air travel as against other modes of transportation, it seems that considerable preliminary propaganda is required. The com- fort of a long journey such as that taken by Mr. Bell would not. be easily understood. The com- Parative safety of aeroplanes to“ day can only be brought to the notice through carefully compiled statistics II these advantages, (speed safety and tomført) were available at no very high cost there. need be no fear that an alr ser- vice from Hong Kong to any point of the China Coast or to Singa- pore, or what is equally important to the interior of China, would suffer for want of patronage.

Yesterday afternoon, I dropped in, to say "Good Bye" to Andrew and Ursula, the popular dance couple who have proved such a treat to the Hong Kong public. Although they were busy packing, they stopped long enough for me to get a few details from them.
They were both feeling a little. blue at the thought of leaving Hong Kong and the many triends they have made here. They told me that their stay here has been a great, delight to them as the public always seemed very appre- clative.
Dancing in Hong Kong 18, in their opinion, of a "high standard, and they were quite excited to see the manner in which so many of the enthusiasts improved during their short stay here.
They asked me to mention a few words about the Championship. They wanted firstly to say how very much they felt indebted to the many residents here who gave them invaluable assistance. Second- ly, it was a very difficult contest to judge owing to the fact that some of the couples were so evenly matched. One other thing they felt a little disappointed over was to find that a portion of the press gave the management of the Hong Kong Hotel and them, so little co- operation in making the first offi- dial Hong Kong Dance Champion- ghip a more public affair. Last but not least, they felt very grateful to Mr. Plevanelit and the manage ment of the Hotel for having, not only made their stay possible, but exceedingly enjoyable,
I am sure Hong Kong danetrig enthusiasts will join me in wish- ing them every success in the future. They are sailing for Shang- hal to-day on the Nágara.”,
