SPARKLING
PICTURES ON
DULL DAYS
You will see printed on any Kodak Film carton the word "Speed." This means that the film is fast and will make the most of the light. The light may be poor because the day is a dull one; or it may be a bright day, and yet the light admitted inside the camera is diminished because you have shortened the exposure in order to take a moving object. Either way, the Kodak film, being "speedy," will make a plucky negative.
But be warned! Film which is "speedy." but has no "latitude," is dangerous. If you give it ever so little over-exposure, It turns nasty and the negative is flat, dull and unprintable. Kodak Film is "speedy," but it has that indulgent "latitude" which allows you to over expose it and still get sparkling negatives.

RELUCTANCE TO CALL A
SCHOOL A SCHOOL, According to Mr. G. P. de Mar- tin; speaking at the annual prize distribution of the Kowloon Branch of the Wah Yan College yesterday, there was a great reluc- tance in Hongkong to call a school a school. There were, he said, as many "colleges" in the Colony as there were at Oxford and some of them were very bad, so if the Wah Yan authorities called their institution a school, they would be in very good company.
The occasion was the first inde- pendent prize giving function since the school opened a branch in Nelson Street, Mongkok, in 1928. Mrs. G. P. de Martin per- formed the ceremony of giving hway the awards and was after- wards the recipient of a bouquet of flowers.
Presenting the report of the school, Mr. Chow Cheng-lam, the headmaster said in part:
First Independent Report. This is the first Independent Annual Report on the Wah Yan College (Kowloor Branch). In former years, our prize distribu- tion was held together with that of the Mother School. During the year 1929, the highest number on roli was 292 and the average at- tendance 252 94%, which speaks for the health of the School. The number of meetings for the year was 372.

Health.
The Four Roads,"
There are four roads through which the poisons generated in the human body escape-the breath, and in- perspiration, kidneys testines. Constipation closes the greatest of these roads, throws the poisons back into the system, and trouble follows.
Pinkettes prevent constipation, restore daily regularity, dispel billousness, liverishness, sick headaches, keep the skin clear and the breath sweet. They also quickly relieve piles. Chemists everywhere sell Pinkettes, 60 cents per vial.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
TEN SMALL-POX CASES LAST WEEK.
The weekly health return of the Medical Officer shows that nineteen cases of notifiable diseases were reported during the seven days ended Saturday Inst. Ten of these were sinn?por three typhoid, tl ree diphtheria, two cereoro-spinal fever and one puerperal fever,”
There were ten deaths from small- TIX, two each from typhoid and phtheria and one from corebro- spinal fever.
Fifty-five deaths were reported from tuberculosis and six from malaria.
Yesterday's
return contained four further cases of small-poz and one of typhoid.

The School is inspected annual- ly by Government Medical Officers. An excellent arrangement exists between the School and Dr. Y. Y.
Referring to the comments of Tang of the Kwong Wah Hospital, the Inspector of Schools on the whereby any pupil requiring subjects of mathematics, book- medical attention is given a note keeping and grammar, the speak- and sent forthwith for examina-er expressed the hope that other tion and treatment. To these cases, treatment is free and the system is not only effecting a marked improvement in the gen- eral health of the School, but is quickly destroying the prejudice against the qualified medical man. I wish to thank Dr. Tang for giv- ing us so much of his valuable time and in consenting to be our Honorary Physician.
Examinations,
In November last, we presented. for the first time, nine candidates for the Junior Local Examination and nine passed, with one boy securing distinction in Arithmetic, Five of them are now in the Matriculation class of the Mother School; one is studying at the Customs Cellege, Shanghai, and the remaining three are working in Government offices in Hong- kong.
English subjects, such as history, composition, etc., would also figure prominently in the future.
Some Sound Advice.
There was another thing which he liked in the report and that was that those boys who had pääs- ed the junior were now working at the parent school. He was glad to see that the Kowloon Branch was not opening a senior class before they were able to do so, He said that they had two schools and would perhaps try to run two senior classes. The Government had six schools and 3,000 boys, but only two senior classes and he hoped that the Wah Yan authori ties would not be in too much of a hurry.
Mr. de Martin said that he knew. schools liked to send boys in for the local examinations but the ex- aminations were good servants but bad masters and he hoped that they would consider the rest of the
school before a serior class, which they already had in the parent
school.
