Under section 16, sub-section 19, the Board has power to make bye- laws for the regulation of bake- houses,
dairies, acrated water manufacturies and food-preserving establishments Under section 16, sub-section 39, the Board has power to make bye-laws for the prevention of the manufacture or sale of un- sound, adulterated or unwholesome food. Bye-laws have been adopted for ensuring the cleanliness of bake - houses,
dairies, markets. slaughter houses and aerated water manufacturies, but up to date none have been adopted for the regula- tion of food-preserving establish- ments.
Bye-laws were drafted and ap proved by the Board in 1925. These were submitted to Government for approval in that year, but the Gov- ernment considered that the time was not then opportune for the in- troduction of such bye-laws and proposed, if the Board saw no ob- jection, not to bring the regulations before the Legislative Council until MAGISTRATE'S PLAIN HINT TO conditions became more normal.
THE HUSBAND.
QUARRELLING KOWLOON
COUPLE.
The case in which Mrs. Bertha Soares is summoning her husband, Mr. J., A. Soares, for maintainance, was resumed before Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith "at the Kowloon Magistraer yesterday!
Mr. J. T. Prior was for the com- plainant and Mr. Leo d'Almada," snr.. for the defendant."
The Magistrate again asked the solicitors if there was any hope of a reconciliation between the parties.
Mr. d'Almada left the Court with his client, and, on returning, said that it was impossible for his client to ask his sister to leave the house. If she did," he would have to support her and that would seriously cripple his already small income and this would result in further unhappiness in the family. However, if his wife would consent to return to the house and live as before, he would guarantee that his sister should not interfere with her.
His Worship replied that, judging from the evidence, Mr. d'Almada's client was making a very great mistake. The parties were both members of the Christian Church, and the duty of a husband to his wife was even greater than that of a brother to a sister, although to many the bonds between a brother and sister were the most precious things in life. His Worship said that he saw no hope of a recon Feiliation, unless the husband agreed
to his wife's conditions,
Mr. d'Almada remarked that there was no question of infidelity, and, apart from the quarrels described there was no bar to a settlement.
Mrs. de Santos, mother of Mrs. Soares, said that her daughter after the birth of her child never regain; ed her former health. Questioned by Mr. d'Almada witness said that she did not approve of her daugh- tez's marriage from the start, be cause of the bad temper of the hus- band sister.
The hearing was adjourned until Friday, March 14, at 2.15 p.m.

The Splitting Evil:
In seconding the motion, the Hon. Mr. P. Braga said that ho would mention one point seeing that the D.M.8.8. in the course of his remarks had made reference to bake-houses.

SANITATION AT MUSLIM HOSTEL.
A BENEVOLENT ATTITUDE
SUGGESTED.
A minute by the President was on the agenda of the Sanitary Board meeting yesterday with re gard to flush instalments at the new Muslim Hostel adjoining the Mos que in Shelley Street. An inspec tion had revealed that the supply of water was inadequate for fush purposes and the matter had been taken up with those in charge. The minute proposed that a period of six months be allowed in which to put matters right.
The Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga said that this hostel was entirely in the nature of a benevolent institution and not one run for the sake of profit.

FRANKLIN EXPEDITION. MYSTERY TO BE SOLVED BY CANADA.

,',-----—
The mystery of Sir John Frank- lin is nearing solution. The Caro- dian Government has authorized the payment of $1,000 for dată which it is believed may lead to the discovery of the last resting place of the great English explorer and the recovery of the priceless records of his expedition.
The only written record of Frank- lin's expedition was a brief report found by Capt. MeClintock in the fifties, telling of the explorer's death and the privations of the sur- vivors who were trying to make the mouth of Back's Fish River, Fur years explorers and navigators have sought for the main records but fruitlessly.
The most important of these re- corde, it is now thought, were buri- ed in Franklin's grave.
Charles F. Hall, an American explorer, searched for Franklin in the sixties, spending the years 1884 (Continued on next Column.)

to 1809 among the Eskimos. The expedition broke up in disorder, however, when Hall shot one of his men for insubordination.
One of Hall's sailors, a young man, told a Seattle mining cngi- ncer that Hall did not get all the information that was gleaned. He himself had talked often with Eski- mos who had seen Franklin and had seen him buried.

The sailor is now a prospector in Alaska, being over eighty years of age. His Seattle friend com- mitted the story to writing and prepared maps of the supposed location of the grave. This data came to the notice of T. W. Jack- son of Vancouver, who believed that Canada should get these re- cords and made representations to
Ottawa to that effect.
