“TELEGRAPH” · FOOTBALL COMPETITION.

PRIZE OF $50 WEEKLY FOR EASY FORECASTS.

The "Hongkong Telegraph" offers a prize of $50 to the readers who send in twelve correct forecasts of the results of the English and Scottish Football League matches (to be played on Saturday next, September 10th) set out in the Coupon below. No goal scores are required; only forecasts showing wins or draws.

In the event of no reader forecasting all twelve matches, a prize of $25 will be given to the reader who sends in the greatest number

of correct forecasts; and in the event of two or more readers Bend- ing in an equal high number, the prize of $25 will be divided.

Read the Rules below and follow them carefully:

Rules of Competition.

1. All forecasts must be contained on coupons cut from the "Hongkong Telegraph," the name of address of the entrant to be plainly printed in block letters in ink.

2. All envelopes must be addressed to the "Hongkong Telegraph," 1/3,

and marked "Football Competition' on the front, with sender's name (without address) on the back.

Fred Mortimer, the first mute, died later during the voyage and was buried at sch. He was the ori, ginal of Jack London's character "Mr. Pike," in his story the "Mutiny of the Elsinore," and, according to Captain Laury, he showed jealousy of Captain Laury's authority after the captain had replaced the Kings- twelve It appeared to him that in fu- way's original commander, who was ture Allahabad would be the main compelled to leave the flagship in air junction of India, for here consequence of illness. The author- there would meet the main cross-ities are making investigations, India roite, and the routes from

the north-west and south west of India.

Quicker Transport.

In his opinion, if a regular weekly, service could be provided from Europe or Egypt to Karachi, the extensions from Karachi to Delhi and Bombay would be of great value for the carriage of of mails and passengers.

Even with a weekly service only from Egypt a saving of seven days in transit between London and Kara- chi could be effected, and, with the extensions to Delhi and Bombay thre would be a further saving of six days in the former case and four days in the latter.

These steps. would have to he taken before the people of India could be asked to come forward with the necessary capital.

Colonel. Sheimerdine considered that the first essential was ground organisation-the establishment of aerodromes, with the necessary equipment such as hangars, work- shops, emergency landing grounds at suitable distances along all the routes, wireless and meteological Fervices, and lastly, the lighting of the routes for night-flying.

Preliminary "Organization.

The preliminary was already in hand, but the services could noti be started until efficient ground organization had been provided, which involved considerable penditure.

CX-

India to-day was more hackward in matters of aviation than any other nation, and she should spond more. But while the ground or- ganisation was being prepared," much could be done to advance çivil aviation in India: such as the recruitment and training of Indians to control flying opera- tions, the bringing up-to-date of the flying legislation of India and the establishment of training centros.

A

As soon as a sufficient demand was created in India, the De Ha- villand Company would open subsidiary factory, as had been done in Australia and Canada. Other manufacturers would follow suit and start the aircraft indus- try, resulting in the training and employment of Indians in all bran-! ches of manufacturing and opera- · tion.
