POINTS FROM 1930 REPORT.

The Hond of the Sanitary Depart- ment, Mr. G. H. Sayer, in the course of his report for the year 1030, states:-

The establishment was nerensyd. by one First Class and one Second Class Inspector. The numbers of Inspectors pn duty on January 1, July 1 and December 31 were 01. 40 and 46, respectively (Senior In- spectors included).

The administrative machinery a described in previous reports re- mained unchanged except for an experimental regrouping of certain health districts in Hong Kong in- volving two additional inspectors.

Refuse Collection.

'There are now twenty refuse lorries in use, fourteen in Hong Kong and six in Kowloon. In ad- dition a one-ton Ford truck wat put into use at Kenedy Town Slaughter House to replace the buffalo cart. There was a drop of over 3,000 tons of refuse collected in Hong Kong and an increase of over 3,000 tane in Kowloon,

(of which 63,000 were col- lected by motor lorry) from Kowloot, includ ing Kowloon Tong and Kowloon City.... 32,500 (of which, 27,000 were col- lected by motor lorry making a total of ....... 17,000

or 205.75 tons per day).

The all in cost for Hong Kong was $170,000 or $2.89 a ton.

For Kowloon 880,000 or $2.49 A ton.

In addition some 5,330 tons of 're- fuse was collected in rural districts (including Shaukiwan), and burnt in incinerators.

(b..)

Refuse Removal -- Some 103,500 tons (449 tons a day) was received at the depots. The dif ference between this figure and the figure stated above is due to a large quantity of refuse taken to the depots by private firms and in- dividuals. Practiently all the re- fuse from the City of Victoria was taken to sen by barges and dumped. All the Kowloon refuse, some 46,374 tous, was dumped at Cheung Sha Wan Reclamation.

The contractors for the removal of nightsoil from Victoria and the Kowloon Peninsula, Shaukiwan, Aberdeen, Pokfulam and Aplichau, and Stanley, and Taitam, respectivo- ly, earried out their work satis factorily.

MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT.

The Medical Offeer of Health (Dr. G. W. Pope) in the course of his report, states:-

Of the total number of nuisances reported in which action was taken 63 per cent, were abated after re ecipt of a letter. This is a small but welcome improvement over the corresponding figure (68 per cent.) for last year. Of 238 summonses 231 secured convictions, & were dis- charged, 6 withdrawn and aban doned,

Ench inspector has for super. vision a district, with approximate- ly 25,000 inhabitants, most of whom are ignorant of the rudiments of sanitation.

Sciences, and director of the sen sational Kathleen Norris story, "Passion Flower," which is doing shown to-day At the Qaven's Theatre,

No one in the world is either totally had or totally good," stated de Milld. However, in Bilent pictures, lacking voice, characteri rations had to be pointed up 80 that they could be easily recognized

in dialogue pictures, however, elinracters can be played on a swore normal basis. As soon as any of the characters of Passion Flower.' Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford, Kay Francis ar Lewis Stone, speak, you get their individual attitudes. And he or she can change that allitade instantly merely by a different inflection of the voice. The great advantage of the silent

screen

was its ability to cover. a greater physical area than the stage, and thereby enhance the amount of entertaining action.. The great advantage of the talkio is the more flexible presentation of characterization given by the

voice.

Combining these two we have.

of the talking picture, comparablo

of acting she can always make a good living, as a fashion ercator. For the youthful Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer star is as well-known for her original style ideas as for her clever work in the dramatic field.

Among her other innovations, Miss Crawford was first to...wear the off-face hats. The inspiration came while she was on a picture set. After waiting patiently for the comernman to adjust the lights so that the shadow from her hat brim wouldn't cover her eyes, she became impatient and pushed her brim. back against the crown, revealing ber face directly to the light, much to the cameraman's, delight..

Following release of the picture. off-face hats became ultra-smart and universally popular!

Miss Crawford's latest Fashion novelties will be seen in "Paid." her new dramatio vehicle opening ou Sunday at the Queen's Theatre.
