THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

CHOOSE YOUR PLUMBER

AS YOU WOULD YOUR PHYSICIAN

Ask your best friend who his physician is. He no doubt can tell you immediately the name address and telephone number of the one chosen to guard the health of his family.

Plumbers are as necessary in safeguarding the health of your family as physicians, and your plumber should be select-- ed with the same care.

You should know whom to call when you plumbing needs. attention. You should be on intimate terms with your cho- sen plumber since he is the physician who will cure the ills of your sewerage, gas and water systems.

A neglected leak in your plum- bing may seriously impair th health of some one of your family.

Do not delay, therefore, but secure expert advice which our Plumbing Department will be glad to give free of charge.

Geneva, Aug. 29. The Press Conference has con- cluded,, passing a resolution re- questing the League of Nations to muke urgent representations to the various Governments for the purpose of catablishing a rule that any measure for expulsion or with- drawal of a permit to stay in a country should not be taken against a journalist without the opinion of a committee of journ- alists.

It also passed a resolution un- animously in favour of abolition of the censorship in peace time, recommending that all offcial news should be issued without prefer- ence to all newspapers and agen. cies, together with transmission facilities.
