ANGRY PLANTERS;

SCATHING CRITICISM OF CHOLERA OUTBREAK.

Ipoh, Sept.

23.

As a preliminary to to-morrow's P. A. M. meeting at Ipoh there was a lengthy discussion at the Batang Association Padang Planters' yesterday at which scathing criticism was made of the inci- dence of cholera in Perak as a result of the dispatch of contacts from Penang for quarantine on estate and whereby there several outbreaks.

The meeting urged that the matter be brought to the notice of the Chief Secretary ewing to continued arrivals.

PREPARING FOR THE EXPEDITIONS.

Bangkok, Sept. 13. In 1929 Siam will attract the eyes of the world, for in that year there will be a total eclipse of the sun, seen to the greatest advantage near Pattani in Southern Siam,

Housing accommodation will be erected at the camp selected, some- where near Pattani; fresh water will be brought down and every facility will be offered.

It also is the intention to place mem- at the disposal of the bers of the expeditioa a number of aeroplanes in case they should desire to get into the air for the purpose of taking photographs.

All that is being, thought out in a general way in the meantime, but soon it is presumed that a Com- EUROPEAN INJURED IN mittee will be appointed to take

the arrangements in hand.

CAR SMASH.

BAD SKID IN HAPPY VALLEY. Owing presumably to the wet condition of the roadway, result- ing from an early-morning shower. a two-seater Morris-Cowley car skidded and collided with a tram standard outside the Civil Service Recreation Club at Happy Valley, at 2 o'clock this morning.

The front part of the car was badly put out of joint, while the steering wheel through being forced up on this recount; struck the driver, Mr. D. H. Perry, in the jaw and almost laid him out.
