All Subscribed in the Country. ASTOUNDING SUCCESS. By courtesy of the Italian Consul-General in Hong Kong, the China Mail is able to announce that the Italian Government loan for 3,000,000,000 Italian lire, which was opened for. subscrip- tion on May 16 last, as fully sub- scribed in nine days (by May 23).]b On May 26, the closing day set for subseriptions,. a further 1,000,000,000 had been received, making an aggregate of 4,000,-| 000,000 (about £40,000,000) ! it is stated that a very large proportion of the loan has been taken up by industrial workers, class, Banks worked overtime accepting applications, the result surpassing all expectations. The Italian Government con- sider this astonishing result a proof of the trust and confidence reposed, in. ‘them by the country. They look upon it as a sufficient answer to all rumours as to any Italian loan being floated abroad. British financiers and financial journals have passed much con- gratulatory comment upon the success of the venture, according to official Italian messages re- ceived here by tite Consul- General, FACTORY LAWS. HOW THE FAR EAST IS CHANCING. The International Labour Or- ganisation of the League of Nations at Geneva has been cx- tremely gratified at the progress in Jabour legislation now becoming apparent in the Far East. The effect of the new Chinese Factory Law, the progress of the Japancse social Jaws and the new Indian Merchant Shipping Bill are indica- tions of the way in which the tide}. is setting. " At the ebeginning, as is only natural, the chief type of new law passed is humanitarian In charac- ter. For instance, In Egypt, which is nota Member of the Interna- tional Labour Organisation, steps are belng taken to introduce a new labour code with especial referenco to. children. In a recent number of the International Labour Review (the monthly publication of the International Labour Office), there was an article by Dame Adelaide Anderson on. child workers in Egypt. Almost with this, news was received that the Egyptian Government had set up ao National Labour Bureau to enforce the decrees that have been passed and to draft a complete code of industrial legislation. There are persistent ‘rumours that in Persia, ‘new ordinances aro to be promulgated by H. M. the Shah and that especially in the province of Kerman, more attention is to be paid to children’s condi- tions In the carpet factories whe- ther on the large scale or on the small, So far as ratifications of Inter- national Labour Conventions are any guide to the progress of the standard in industry, China has only sent, in one, namely that of, the Convention on Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery, Once the ‘new Factory Act is in full operation it may prove possible to ratify others but ratification without enforce- tends to bring the work of the LL.O, into disrepute. ‘India has ‘| twelve ratifications to her creflit and onc more js pending.

BOLSHEVIST RISING IN ~INDO-CHINA. Secret Plans to Attack Whole Country. STATE OF UNREST. Paris, Yesterday, The Bolshevist effort to stir up natives had fajled everywhere in French Indo-China except in North Annam,‘ which is in a con- tinual state of unrest, said M. Paul Reynaud, Miniater of Colonies, in a speech before the Colonial Com- mittee of the, Chamber, at which M. Pasquier, Governor-General of French Indo-China, was present. ” M. Reynold read a telegram des- cribing the Communist outrages in North Annam and mentioned that 175 Communists were killed when n Communist attack on native posta on May 1 was repulsed.

An Interesting article on coffee cultivation in Java is reprinted in the Tropical Agriculturist from tte International Review of Agri- culture as follows:— — In the eighteenth century and in the first half of the nineteenth century ‘Java coffee” (“Coffea arabica”) ‘was cultivated on a large seale by the natives under the pressure of the Government. After 1870 this culture “was also slarted by private people and com- | panies working with European capital, and Eust Java became the centre of coffee growing in the Dutch East Indies, This flourishing industry wag brought to an end by the leaf dis ense (“Hemileia vastatrix”) which quickly spread over the whole Ar- chipelago. At present “Java Coffee” (‘Coffea arabica") is only to be found an some estates high up the mountains and is cultivat- el hy the natives‘in some parts of the other islands (Bali, Suma- tra. Celebes, Flores, Timor), At that time newly-imported, Liberian coffee (“Coffea liberica’”) seemed less susceptible to the leaf disease. and was planted to a certain ex-" tent, but after a few years it be- gun to be more and more attack- ed and at last it was also great- ly devastated. On many estates where arabica and liberiea were cultivated next to each other, cross fertilisation ‘took, place and in the nurseries hybrids appeared among the ‘seed- lings. One of these, originated at the plantation “Kawisari” was es- pecially considered worth cultivat. ing and at present this hybrid is cultivated on a fairly large seale Jon different estates. It is a re- matkable fact that this hybrid, originated from parents both very liable. to leaf disease, is resist- ant. The salvation of the coffee in- dustry was the importation in 1900 of the “robusta coftee.” This species proved to be vzry suitable for’ the conditions in the Dutch Kast Indies and it is at present one of the most important crop plants, both for the estates and for the: natives, In 1927 and 1928 each of theso two groups produc- ed about 60,000 tons of coffee.) The following figures show the ex- port of, the three kinds of coffee from the Netherlands Indies grown on estates and by natives.

Owing. to the practising of scientific methods in orchard work and on account of its cheap labour Netherlands Indies is, as regards coffee culture, in a strong posi- tion and may regard its future with equanimity. One of the important measures which have reduced the cost price by ‘increasing the production has been the use of green manures. By a judicial use of shade trees the damage caused by heavy winds and also that caused by long drought—as often occur in East Java—is avoided, Improvement of the planting material is obtained by using seed of trees which excel in production and in other favourable charac- ‘teristics, ‘such as large-sized berries, and by this measure the present robusta trees are, taken as a whole, superior to those ori- ginally imported. Robusta coffee js exported pri- marily to Holland—for more than one-fourth of the total—while al- mbst as much is-’ shipped to France. The United States, Singa- pore, and Spain are also import- ant purchasers. “Coffee Arabica.” Of the native coffee industries in the Dutch East Indies, that of the island of Bali is very interest- ing. “Coffee arabica” is mostly cultivated; a small area {s devot- wl to robusta coffee. .The arabica ' culture began to get important in’ the middle of the nineteenth cen- | tury. At umount to a yearly 2,000 tons. In consecutive years the yield varies much, ss is al- ways the case with arabica coffee; ic varies from 1,400 to 2,800 tons. The native farms vary in size from 1 acre to 20 acres, a few have a larger area in coffee. nurkable feature of coffee industry is the judicious use of shade trees, While in other parts of that Netherlands j Indies and jn fact in many other | colfee-growing countries natives tone dispense with shade present the exports trees—a system which gives in good, soils,. high yields during three or four years but a quick decline of the coffee after its fifth average of; “One re-; this native | or sixth years—the Balinese people cultivate thelr coffee under dense shade of the “dadap” (“Erythina lithosperma”), They are so convinced of the beneficial effect of the shade tree on the sail, that they plant the dadap on new land a fewyears before the ceffee is planted, thus improving the soil beforehand. When the colfee goes backward, the Balinese rejuvenate the ficids by bending down the coffea trees and inducing them to make new water-shoots; some of these at the base of the tree are left for mak- ‘ing new stems and the old stem is cut down, | 1 1 RAILWAY RATES. NO ALTERATION FOR THE PRESENT. The railway companies in Great Britain have decided. for the pre- sent not to increase — their rates, although the revenues have fallen heavily. The companies will re- | serve the right to ask for increases, later, Mr. Coledeacon, secretary of the Rates and Charges Committee and secretary of the Railway Com- ! panies’ Association, stated at the Railway Rates Tribunal at the Law Courts. The President of the Tribunal, { + Sir Walter Clode, K.C., asked whe- ‘ther Mr. Coledeacon. could give any information as to what was tnking place with regard to the, annual review of railway rates | under Section 59, sub-section 4, of the Railways Act. There was, he ] said, a certain amount of. interest among traders to know whether the companies were going to make any proposal in the way of altera- tion or amendment of rates, or anything of that sort,. at the re- view. : Mr. Coledeacon ‘replied: “Hav- ing regard to the fact that none { of the companies has earned i standard revenue in the past yes the general managers have been ; yiving this question very careful j consideration. “{ think [ may say that it is | not their intention to propose to . the Tribunal any general increase } in the level of railway charges at} the forthcoming review, but to. leave the Tribunal to decide what j modifications, if any, the provi- | sions of Section 59, sub-section 4, : tof the Railways Act will require : in order that the matter may be : properly carried out. “In making the statement I must add that if the railway companies at subsequent times between the review which is about to be “held , and the next review consider that | it would be appropriate to in-} crease all of the charges, or any of them, and that by so doing they would merely approach their standard revenues, they would de- | sire to bring forward: such pro- | er id.yes_. o “6 | “Bow't you edare that eee Pes gssy' flavor?” 1. earessing to.my throat!” . wonderful :_..and theyre so CORK-TIPPED. _ “YOUR THROAT.

Explorers to Search Eastern Turkestan. EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL ASIA. The Sunday Times learns that a new quest for the “Missing Link” is to be made in Central Asia, which many scientista believe to have been man’s earliest home. Elliot Smith, wha was in China last Autumn, states expedition is now going from Peking to the valley of the! Tarim, in Eastern Turkestan, there ta seck traces of the most primitive forms of human life, or of the apes fram which man—ac- cording to the theories of modern science—was evolved, The expedition will be led by Pere Teilhard dé Chardin and a Chinese palacontologist, Dr. C. C. Young, both of whom were in the expedition which discovered the “Peking ‘Man” in 1929, Father Teilhard de Chardin is one of the very highest authorities on the fossil] remains of mammals in Asia. : Professor Davidson Black, of the “Peking Man” expedition, believes that important discoveries bearing on the beginnings of human life may be found near the sources of the Tarim. This river flaws for 1,500 miles across Central Asia till) it loses itself in the Lob-nor Lake. No systematic exploration has been made there. Ancient Breeding-Ground. There is a theory that myriads of ages ago—it may be a million or millions—the climate . of that part of the world was highly favourable ta mammalian life, and that it became a breeding-ground Professor G. where originated great groups of animals now spread over the world. Extraordinary hauls of ‘fossils have been made. Dr. Sven Hedin's expedition, in 1927-28, found’ thirty dinosaurs. Mr. Roy Chapman An- drews, the American explorer, dis- covered traces of a’ Stone Age culture in the Central Asian wastes, and evidence of a popula- tion of millions of human beings. That, he thinks, was about 20,000 years ago, There are high hones of the Tarim Valley Expedition. At first it will be a sort of reconnaissance —a search for sites suitable tor excavation, “Events of great importance to scientific research may be expected shortly,” Professor Elliot Smith tald the Sunday Times; and no one speaks with higher authority. “Some people suggeat,” he con: tinued, that the area where the cave containing the fossils of the “Peking Man” was found in De- cember, 1929, is the home of the human fanily. “The objection to that theory is that the “Peking Man" js only one of three contemporaries, the others being the ‘Ape-Man’ of Java, found in 1891, and the ‘Piltdown Man’ found in Sussex in 1912, “Early fossils of apes of the Miocene period were found in the Sivalik Hills, in Indis, and scien- tists engaged in excavating the “Peking Man” have put forward the theory that the great factor which led to the evolution of man was the raising of the Himalayas at the beginning of the Miocene period. Separation of the Apes. “The raising of the Himalayas cut off one group of these apes from India, and north of these ranges they would be subjected to entirely new climatic conditions; so they had to adapt themselves to the new circumstances or become wiped out. The scientists, favour- ing this theory regard an area north of the SinkTang province of China ag the likeliest locality in which to find the link, “Man, or a very closely related anthropold, actually did exist in Eastern Asia at the close of Tertiary, or the beginning of Quaternary, time. “Tho history of the search for the missing link {s of specuitar interest. In 1891 Dr. Eugene Dubois examined a series of likely deposits of gravel in Jova, until by a marvellous chance he found the . | ‘Ape-Man.’ “Then, in 1912, the late Mr, Charles Dawson, after many months of observation in a particu- lar patch of gravel at Piltdown, Sussex, was rewarded by . finding the fossil. remains of man there, while the “Peking Mah” has been ‘J madé known to us as the: outcome of a comprehensive search, extend- ing’ over several years, by a tear of investigators of different nation- alities. ‘One after another men of: tinsight and imaginatton, stimulated by slight clues, pushed on with the ‘|search until bit by bit there was ecovered the fmpresslve series of relics which establish “upon 8 secure faundation ‘our knowledge of the earliest men. “But tho scientists are still per severing in their search for more evidence, ‘They‘are determined to trace the homes of man’s earliest TO-DAY’'S PROGRAMME.

Suppose that in the long shot we had a boy walking toward the'gang- plank with u conspicuously large elephant tusk on his back at the same time that’ we see Horn’s canoe 100 yards from the landing, headed for shore. Then, in the next shot, au medium-long-shot, imagine that we show Horn arriving on the dock just. as the boy has reached the pangplink with his ivory. It would ba apparent to a sensitive audience and to all the crities—that Horn had either shuttered the existing record for the 100 yard dash in reaching shore, or else the boy with the tusk had paused to confer with somebody about the outcome of Kid Chovolate’s latest boxing encounter, The only possibility of lifting this would be through the invention of an invisible camera.

Kenatdo was put through the regular rites of initiation while the company, directed. by W. S. Van Dyke, was camped in the Kenya district. He had to drink blood— that last-survival of the old rites when the tribe was cannibalistic, and swear allegiance to the brotherhood.

There were some startling re sults recorded during the weck- end cricket ‘programme and some ‘remarkable individual feats per- formed. Mitchell, the Derbyshire slow howler, startled the cricket world by enpturing 12 Sussex vic- tims ‘for a paltry 30 runs and was largely rcsponsible for Derby: shire’s overwhelming victory. ~ At Lord’s the New Zealanders’ suffer- ed their first defeat of the tour -at the hands of Middlesex in spite of excellent’ howling figures being returned: ‘by LB. Cromb. Larwood,' the All-England' fast bewler got in amongst the wickets at Trent Bridge and dismissed Somerset for 67 runs. In_ the second innings J. C. White, the visiting skipper, made a valiant but unavailing attempt to improve the position of his side. At Bradford rain cansed tho abandonment of the-match between Kent and Yorkshire, but during the time in which play was pos- sible Woolley scored 188. out of a total of 296 for 4 wickets. ° At Manchester, Surrey - were forced to relinquigh first innings points to Lancashire thanks to a fine undefeated century by Hop- wood. 7 At Stourbridge, again adopted the role Worcestershire of giant- cestershire by 101 runs. Parker with the ball: contend with the leg trap bowl- ing of Root and the leg-break slow bowling of Broox. This is yet an- other severe check to W. G. Grace's county in their bid for the cham- pionship. At Pontypridd, the Glamorgan- Lefcester match had to be aban- doned on account of rain on the second and third*days. The match at Bradford was similarly affect- ed, Essex registered their second victory of the season when they defented Northants by 105 runs. Essentially an opening batsmen C. Bray scored exactly _ one hundred out of 271. Bukewell made a eplendid effort in the fourth inn- ings but was unfortunate in not being able to find comcone to stay with him, Warwiekshire at the close of play required only 64 runs for vic- , tory, but time was obvipiialy against them, 16 runs being scor- ed for the loss of three wickets. The full results as cabled by. Reuter were as follow: Warwickehire took first innings | points from Hampshire at South- ampton, . Scares:— 118 (Mayer 7 for 48); 109 (Paine 7 for 37).

FRIGHT FOR CRAIGENGOWER. {By “Short, Head.”) On Saturday matches in the ‘Lawn Row!s League being played at Happy Valley was resnonsible for a large utlendance of devotees of the game turning out, especially at the Cralgengower Cricket Club .where two games were decided—C.C.C. against Civil Service.in the First Division and C.C.C. v, Yacht Club in the Second Division. In both metches the spectators had thrills aplenty, the Yacht Club losing by only four shols and the Civil Ser- vies by ten shots. In the early part of the First Division game the Craigengower looked like amassing a_ goodly score, then the visitors put on a spurt, only for the locals to secure almost simultancoualy a 6, a 5, and a 4. When two of the rinks had finished their combined scores were 42—40 and as the third rink had still four heads to play it ap- peared | anybody’s game. Unfor- tunately for the visitors’ hopes the third rink lost a 6 and their Club as a whole went down by. ten shots, The following ‘shows at a glance the varying fortunes of the match :— C.C.C. Cy ra .

A‘very attractive offer to meet _] the winner of the Tilden-Richards tennis matches is being made to Henri Cochet, the French lawn tenins champion, says to-day’ New York Tribune, Jack Curley, the tennis wrestling promoter, who has already enlisted the services of Tilden, Richards, and Karel Kozeluh, is understood to have re- quested the former French boxer, George Carpentier, to act as his representative for the purpose of ‘fnducing Cochet to turn profes- sional. Curley wants Cochet to play the winner of the world’s profeasional chumpionship in -the Autumn, which would allow of the Davis Cup being decided before he. for- sock his amateur status, Boxers of the Berg type who fight at top speed all the time, and against every sort of opposition, without modifying their policy ac- cording to circumatances, find some day that they have over- drawn Nature's banking account, and then there’s the devil to pay. —Fred Dartnell.

In the course of a long chat with a representative of the Times of Ceylon, Mr. Dawson sald he had arranged for no fewer than! seventy performances in all—in' 1 Brisbane, Sydney, New Zea. jland, Tasmania, South Aus-' tralia and West Australian, It Was vory probable, he added, that; ‘he would sing in Colombo on his way hack—some time in October. On the eve of his departure j fram‘London he was entertained } to a farewell lunch at the Savoy Hotel. A novel feature of the function was the playing of somo , old seratchy pioneer gramophone records. and by way of contrast, la selection of Mr. Dawson’s latest uelectricn! recordings! “One had to use 2 good deal of bit force,” observed Mr. Daw- . son “to get any sort of result “with the recording apparatus ot )yesterd: ay!

Sargent. The orchestra numbered one hundred and the chorus was drawn from the finest voices in the London colleges of music and from the concert platform, The principals were, barring myself, frum the D'Oyly Carte Opera Com- pany. Rupert. D'Ovly Carte him- self supervised the recording.. “It was naturally a very diffi- cult matter to make a faithful re- cording . of so vast performers. Four microphones were necessary, At one end, of the room were the string players, arranged round their microphone; at the other end were the wind and «percussion instruments with their microphone. In the centre or the ball was the conductor with the chorus and principals opposite, in fibre padded cubicles. All the nicrophones were connected to the recording room, Old-Time Records. “What a contrast to the old days when members of the chorus vied with each other to get clos- est to the microphone! And he who shouted loudest. was recorded | best,” It is interesting to remember that (the old days Mr. Dawson was given a yearly fee of £50— and he thought he was “made” for life. By the way, Enrico Caruso was paid a paltry £8 for his first song! Mr. Dawson began‘ was an fron worker in Australia till he was twenty. He used to sing in St. Andrew's Church choir in Adelaide and studied music fn his spare time under the late C. J Stevens, In 1900 St, Andrew's choir went up to Ballarat to compete in the South Street annual choir events. He himself was advised by Stevens to. take part in the solo section of the competition with the result that’ he’ won the first prize. That was the beginning. of a very eventful musical career. Mr. Dawson subsequently studfed with the famous pedagogue,-Sir Charles Santley. “A funny thing happened when I was singing in Colombo long, long ago,” Mr. Dawson said. “A ‘member of the audience persisted in standing after, every song and calling. for ‘The Village Black- smth.” .¥ réplied I hadn't. the music with qae, So I sang it next time—ind’ the Boor, fellow: wasn't there!" “Old songs like ‘The Village Blacksinith’ were really more diffi- a number of | \ | low.

Mr. Dawson went on to discuss of modern ° wireless “The British “have been broadcasting. * The result is they have been gradually éducat- ed in the finest possihle music. And thus the standard of music is very high in England to-day— higher that it ever was.,- “There have, of course, -been as regards the put forward by the B.B.C. .But, then, you always find that clasa of person who igs never satisfied, “Nothing has ever been given to before at so cheap a prive—nothing goad, I mean, For 10 shillings a year the listener is provided with entertainment of the ' most elevating kind. “Wireless is always improving, But, although it is doing a lot of good, it does a certain amount of : harm too--I mean as regards con- cert attendance. . But there the problem solves itself—there {s such a thing as the publie being carried away by the performance of an artist over the ether. Consequent- ly the public wants to see and hear the artist in the flesh, “The music-loving people in provincial centres of Great Bri- tain, I can safely assert, have lost nene of their love of concert-go- ing. Popular concerts are arrang- ed every Saturday in the Winter and it is an inspiring sight to see such tremendous crowds attend. “So, after all, this proves: that concerts are not what many people might unwittingly term out of date—not things cf the past ren- dered so by the advent of wire- less. Wireless has not only edu- cated the listener, but has acted ag a great stimulant and brought thousands of new adherents to music.”* PRINCE OF WALES.’ LONDON THEATRE TO BE SOLD. * It is announced that the Prince of Wales Theatre, Coventry Street, W., will be offered for sale by auction at the London Auction Mart on April 22, Originally called Princes to dif- ferentiate it from the old Prince of Wales Theatre of the Bancrofts, off the Tottenham Court Road—now re- placed by the Stala—this, famous West End playhouse wag built in 1883, It was then regarded aq the last word in elegance. It is one of the smaller theatres, seating not many more than 1,000. The pre- sent proprietress is Miss Tonie Bruce, who succeeded to the proper- ty on the death of her father, Mr. Edgar Bruce. ~* The house has had a varied but distinguished career. One of ite earliest successes was “Called Back,” in which the late Sir Herbert Tree made a great hit in 1884 as Paolo Macari. For a number of years it rivalled the Savoy itself and Daly's later asa home of comic opern—a notable success in this domain being “La Poupee,” which was produced in 1897 and ran for nearly two years, “Miss Hook of Holland,” “Lady Madcap,” and “The School-girl” (with ‘Misa Edna May as Lilian Leigh) are more recent memories. . BRITISH FILMS.. : DEARTH OF BRIGHT 2 IDEAS. : ‘Phere have been several British made shows in London recently though- these’ are always dis- ‘appointing, if . for not ..one reason,- -’ then for. another. Thus “Brown Sugar” from the play was excellent as far as acting and volces went: Constance Carpenter ‘as’ Lady Stella Sloane was superb. The disappointment in this ‘case was the story. Even if one had not seen the playione would have known exactly what was coming and It is a matter for wonder why these old plays must be revived and* why nobody here ever gets any bright ‘ideas, As a ; American - producer and thé setting and yet wa-do.no- thing. .

CHINA MAIL. * FILMS, ‘sign. of refinement. It certainly. spoils the pleasure of the audi- ence since one never welcomes eye strain. 5 Rreyfus was also shown in a talkie of the celebrated Dreyfus ease of 1894. It is’ being shown at the London Pavilion for a run of several weeks, we hope, since it is an excellent one. There has been a great deal. of controversy over this picture but criticism is favourable on the whole. I found it to be an excellent film in every way considering the continuity ta not too good, but that is only to be expected if portions of the story are cut out; for instance Emile Zola is sent to ‘prison, but on the film this is cut out, as well as stressing the Jewish religion too much. The photography is quite good and all the actors do their best especially George Merritt as Emile Zola, and Cedric NWardwieke as Captain Dreyfus. There is a picture of Dreyfus taken in his cell on Devil's Island where he was sentenced for four years before he is recalled, for a re-trial, that reminds us very much of the old farmer in “The Farmer's Wife.” On the whole it isa very creditable performance, and was enthusiastically Teceived. FILMING PROPHETS’ TOMB. Sultan's: ‘Scene For Propaganda. The King of the Hedjaz has ordered a.new propaganda film to be made dealing with the Prophet's tomb in Mecca, the holy city of Islam, and the new developmenta made there for the comfort of tho. pilgrims, , The route to Mecca will also be shown,. with the new types of transport made available, This occasion will be used to, give a graphic survey of the rapid’ advance made by the King in im- proving the administration of Nejd and the Arabian Peninsula, Conferences of the sheiks will be filmed, and all the innermost accrets of a sheik’a life will be disclosed to the world for the first time. The film will be used by the King's emissaries for propaganda purposes in the latest campaign in favour of Mecca. INDIAN TALKIES. Successful Presentation in Rangoon. The screen, since it first took to speech, has spoken in many languages. Now it talks for the! first time in the languages of ‘India. :in Hindustani, was amusing and The Indian talking pletures, which , commenced yesterday, at the Royal ' « Cinema, are the firat of thgir kind says the Rangoon Gazette of April 28, we The Indian talking picturo in- dustry is ag yet in its infancy, The photography in tho talkio Inst night might have perhaps been a little better, but the recording was remarkably clear and ‘there was an absence ,of that scratching sound which marred the firat talkies from the West. ‘ The pictures are something after the’ style of the well-known “Warner Shorts.” There aro in- strumental items, vocal numbers, dances and short sketches, The _ performers did not appear to be at all camera shy and acquitted them- selves ably. In the last sketch particularly the actors played their parts to perfection. The dialogue, timo and again the rocked with laughter. The Indian talkies show great promise and with o little moro ex- pertenée on the part of those who produce them, they should prove to . be a very popular form of ontor- tainment., If the directors of the pictures had made a little more use of the “fade-out” {instead of cutting off each number in a rather abrupt way, the success would have been more complete.

LEICHNER SLIM FIGURE ! i AND BEAUTY BATH “1001.” JUNE 3, 1931. (LORD KYLSANT IN (TRISH DRAW|FLYING IN. CENTRAL! | AMERICA. A Revolution — In Transport. ADDRESS TO ROTARIANS. How the advent of the nero- plane had solved many difficult transport problems in Central and South America was explain. ed to Rotarians at. the weekly. tiffin yesterday by Mr. William Moss, of the foreign sales depart- ment of the Dalton Adding Ma- chine Company. Mr. Moss took his listeners on a lightning tour of these areas, indicating the routes on a large wall map. In Colombia, he said, the Germans had ‘operated a finc air Service for a riumber of years, which had revolutionised the transport problem. The possibi- lities of acrial transport in this region were still enormous, in many districts travelling stil! ’| being -done by. mule pack or with difficulty by motor-car. But in the main, the advances made were incredible compared with the usual methods of travel by tropi- cal rivers, ‘Virgin Islands’ Decline. _ Mr. Moss also referred to a ‘plane journey from San Juan to the Virgin Islands, which were purchased from Denmark by the United States in 1917. There had ‘been a continual decline in population of recent years, prin- cipally because St. Thomas had importance asa coaling tation. ; In Guatemala ' City, said the speaker, an interesting sight was a huge relief map, approximately 150 feet square, upon which every physical detail of the Re. public was carefully worked out, which idea he thought worthy of commendation in other places. The Canal Zone: Mr. Moss also referred to the construction of the. Panama Canal, saying that the United States has a 100-yenr lease from the Republic of Panama, and keeps under control a zone about 50 miles long and 10 miles wide. The United States also under- takes the work of collecting duties and customs examination. Difficulties of landing at ports in South America were related by the speaker, ‘who also referred to the possibility of constructing a Nicaraguan Canal. . Lake Nicara- gua, he sald, was 92 miles long, and 34 miles wide, and there were only 18 miles of cutting needed to complete the Canal. Mr. Moss said he was_parti- cularly impressed with the effi- ciency of radio service on ‘planes Amulree, and will sit until Satur-, qying out of Havana.
