Many a man or woman who is "tun-down" and

depressed will look in vain for the cause before

arriving at the correct one

Food Debility.

In these modern, bustling times the symptoms of

Food Debility are everywhere more evident, The reason is that the ordinary dietary does not provide all the food elements "essential for making good the extra demands on your nervous system, As a result, energy flags, vitality is lowered, and starved nerves" give rise to sleepless nights.

H Remember that Ovaltins' is a complete food reien- tifically prepared from the highest qualiters of eggs, milk and wall.

You will always be safe from Food Debility when delicious" *Ovaltine' is your daytime and bedtime beverage.

SCHEME ABANDONED Mr. W. J. Howard: Several years ago when the late Mr. C F. F. James was Hon.

Apparently, I think one of the main considerations was that the site was not very sultable and was very much ex posed and it would be difficult to play good tennis there. That was, in fact, the only site that we could find and that was the main rea son, as far as I can And, why the scheme was dropped. The staging of exhibition matches there would not be anything like so good as In a central spot

Mr. Howard: I think that we ought to go into the scheme again,

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The tollowing officers' were 'elect- ed for the ensuing year:-Presi- dent, "Mr. Justice R. E. · Lindsell; Vice-President, Mr. Ng Sze-kong: Hon. Secretary, G. J. Tacchi; Hon. Treasurer, E. Abraham; Executive Committee, A. el Arculli, Capt. R. L. La. Ingpen. E. de Souza and M. W. Lo; Auditors, Messrs. Lowe, Bingham and Matthews.

COUNCIL MEETING

Mr. A. V. Gosano: In your speech, Mr. Chairman, you men- tioned that the standard of tennis In the Colony was low. I think that there is not enough compet!- tive tennis here. In Shanghai they have a series of international tennis matches for the Rotary Club Cup and I think that something should be done here whereby we have more competitive tennis. The following were elected to Another suggestion is this. I know the Executive Committee:-Capt. that among many players there is Ingpen, Messrs. A. el Areuill, E. de a feeling that the open cham-Souza, and M. W. LO. pionships are held at the wrong time.

Is there anything to prevent them from being held immediately after or during the tennis season? Another point is the question of the mixed doubles league, It seems to me that there will not be enough entries this season to make the competition very interesting. There is not enough competitive tennis in Hong Kong for ladies. Could we not get some Clubs to run a ladies league tournament as they have in Shanghai?

COURT NEWS IN BRIEF

A meeting of the Council of the Hong Kong Lawn Tennis Associa- tion followed immediately, Mr. Justice Lindsell presiding.

FA Broadbridge was re- elected Hon. League Secretary.

Mr. B. A. Rumjahn proposed that instead of League matches being played on four days a week matches in "A" and "B" Divisions should be played on one day and "C" and "D" Division matches on another day.

As there was no seconder the proposal was dropped.

The Chairman proposed a hearty vote of thanks the Messrs. Fardire, Matheson for the loan of their Board Room for the meeting.

Schoolboy's Attempt

To Defraud

A student of the Diocesan Boys' School, Wong `Fuk-tal, aged, 18, had a expensive bus ride in con sequence of his attempt to avoid payment of the legal fare when travelling on a Kowloon Motor bus, in Saigon Road, Kowloon City, on Wednesday.

Sub-Inspector Rogers who ap peared before Mr. K. M, A, Barnett at the Kowloon Magistracy yester- day for the prosecution, said that when defendant was approached by the bus conductor to collect his fare, defendant informed him that he was a holder of 2 monthly ticket. Further down the road an inspector got on the bus' and asked defendant to produce his Wicket. Defendant said that he had lost his ticket, and later he said that he was sharing a student's month- ly ticket with three other boys.

At the Police Station defendant claimed that he was a student at ` La Salle College. He later ad- mitted that he was studying at the Diocesan Boys' School

He was fined $20 for the offence and was ordered to pay the sum of $2.50 amends to the Company for the time wasted.
