"Telegraph" Special Representative

If prosent plans mature, work will shortly commence in Hongkong on the production of half a million cheap gas masks,

I understand that local rubber factories, at present chiefly employed in manufacturing rubber shoes and other similar requisites, are to be requested by the Government to turn their attention to the manufacture of masks.

Only the rubber fittings will be manufactured in Hongkong, the filter containers being imported from!

Britain.

It has been realised long agothat the perishable nature of gas masks makes their importa-tion from Europe a financial pro- blem that cannot be overcome.

The scheme to manufacture the fittings in Hongkong will, if carried out, assure that the masks would be effective for a much longer period.

Even so, the problem of storing the masks once they are made is and to be presenting difficulties, and it may be necessary for a special air conditioned godown to be prepared..

The perishable nature of rubber is the chief danger which must be guarded against, for even a pin-prick in the protective rubber casing could prove fatal.

Hongkong rubber factories, of one that is now receiving the which there are a large number, would be capable of turning out the required nuraber of maska within a very short period once the necessary machinery is in- stalled.

RANSOM DEMAND

A ransom of $100.000 and a number of anti-aircraft guns were demanded by the Communista, who threatened to put their cap- tives to death.

The China Inland Mission said that they would not attempt to pay the ransom, because it was so large and because it was not con- sidered in the interests of otlier foreigners in the country to

If your child is under eleven-be careful what laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa tive--a child's laxative.

For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.

But such things need not be. For there is one laxa- tive that is perfect for children... Castoria! Castoria is made especially for children—from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con- fidence. Castoria is gentle-yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!

In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.

Get a bottle of Castoria today. Be ready for the little upsets that come to every child. Give Castoria-the laxa tive that is made especially for children.
