Although the ship, whs declared "black" by Australian trades unions, the agents had no difeulty in pick-

But a dimcult position arose over the Chinese crew of 30, left in Sydney. Although charges of having

Teething without Tears

As soon as the first, tiny tooth is due, give your baby "OVALTINE' Rusks to bite and crunch. They will ensure his happiness and contentment throughout teelhing time.

Although not too hard for baby to eat and, enjoy, 'OVALTINE' Rusks are just firm enough to give the biting exercise which helps so much to bring the teeth casily and comfortably through the gums and to ensure the correct formation of the mouth and jaws.

"OVALTINE" Rusks are made from pure unbleached wheaten flour in which all the nutritive elements are retained and the addition of a proportion of 'OVALTINE' makes them even more nourishing and delicious.

"The Chinese crew are now deser- ters and prohibited migrants, and are Hlable to the law," Dr. Page added. "It is most regrettable that they should have been persuaded by the extreme element at the Trades Hall, ed Sterl

An outmoded, ill smelling, insanitary city prizon, shown in lower panel, occupied part of New York City's Welfare Island in the East River. The prison was torn down and in its place is rising a 1,500-bed hospital for chronic diseases,
