A fresh shipment of Pilot Short-wave Converters has just been received which. are being offered at an exceptionally attractive price. Owners of Atwater Kent radios have long felt the need of a good short-wave converter whcih will enable them to obtain entertainment even farther afiold.

We are therefore offering these Converters at the very special price as a token of gratitude for their faith in and for their wholeheartedness in recommend- ing the Atwater Kent radio to their many friends. :

SLUM AREAS.

REBUILDING QUESTION AT SANITARY BOARD.

"Nothing would please me more than to see the disappearance of these slum areas, but if they are to exist, will it not be better for them to be with annitary conveniences- than without," declared Mr. M. K. Lo at yesterday's meeting of the Sanitary Board.

The question arose following à discussion on an application for the erection of five water closets at No. 15, New Market Street and No. 8, Connaught Road West. Conal- deration of the application was ad- journed to enable the Board to see the premises.

Mr. G. R. Sayer (President) told the Board that the Select Com mittee dealing with the application had unanimously recommended that the Board refuse the application, Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, Director of Public Works, decinring that the building was unsuitable and he did not want to perpetuate the type.

Mr. Lo said that it was really reverting to the old question of whether the Board would use its power as a lever to cause the re- building of old houses, a policy to which the Board had previously agreed it would not adhere. He would be inconsistent in supporting the motion unleng he was assured that that was not being done in this

case.

Mr. Sayer-It is not a case of using a lever; the building is simply not suitable.

Mr. F. C. Hall-I must support Mr. Lo. If a building is unfit for a water closet, it must be unfit for human habitation.

Hon. Mr. Creasy and Dr. Pope, Medical Officer of Health, declared that the premises were insufficient- iy ventilated.

Dr. R. A. de Castro Basto said he would like to take a look at the premises and on his request, the matter was adjourned.

FRIENDLY HOCKEY,

Singh being responsible for three of the goals and K. Singh for the other. G. Singh ngain netted in tho Recond half when A. Singh scored

sixth.

Neither team 19715 at full strength. For the Radio G. Jack at centre-half and G. Singh were outstanding, while Muller tried hard for the German Club but always found the Endia defence too good.

Posers are never popular figures because your true posers believe so profoundly in their own baseless lengend that they have become abnormal. They are suffering from a mild form of dementia and their normal bellows feel instinctively re- pelled.
