Merry

Days-

that Gibbs Dentifrice ensure by guarding teeth Sunny hours of happy laughter fill every day when health abounds. Gibbs Dentifrice guards that priceless boon-by guarding teeth. Many men, many women have perfect teeth to-day because in childhood they acquired the habit of using Gibbs Dentifrice three times a day. That delicious sense of cleanness delights them as much now as it did of old-as it delights children to-day.

Teeth might well be perfect when cleaned so thoroughly-polished so gently, yet surely. Nothing that could cause decay escapes that fragrant foam. Delicious the tonic refreshment of mouth and gums- delicious the sense of well-being.

Such a little tin-so handy-so neat. Contains so much cleanness. Take it with you—wherever you

go.

the Government Marine Surveyor's Department of the Hong kong Government underwent her official trials in Kowloon Bay on Friday last.

The "H.D.11" is a departure from the usual type of Harbour launch inasmuch as the forward deck is not utilized for passengers but is bulļķ up to form n, cosing over the crew

space.

European passengers are « accom- modated in a cabin and in an open cockpit abaft the motor room.

Principal dimensions are as follows: Length on LW.L... 54′-0′′ Breadth moulded 11" Depth Draughts

5'-3"

4'-6" aft and 3-6 forward The hull and deck planking is of teak, frames of ipol, and keelsons and stringers of facal.

Ateak wheelhouse is built above, the casing forward and is fitted up with hand steering gear, compass, telegraph and chart table, whilst slid-i ing windows are fitted all round.

The crew space, situated below deck forward, is provided with four burks. and has a steel enclosed galley com- plete with coal stove and the usual galley fittings,

The European cabin kus two uphol- stered settees, teakwood table, locker, bookcase and ice box.

Separate W. C. and wash place are provided, the latter being equipped with shower in addition to the usual

conveniences.

"Beclawat windows are fitted to the cabin and lavatories, obviating the rattle which is so aften found in har-

bour launches.

A roomy cockpit, open all round, offers ample seating accommodation for six passengers, and adjoins the cabin described above.

Over Nine Knots.

Very satisfactory results were ob- tained from the trials when an aver- age mean speed of 9.623 knots was maintained.

Turning trials were undergone and in addition to the vessel proving easy of handling and turning, both ahead and astern, she also proved herself a very stable craft.

DEATH OF SUB-INSPECTOR E. J. COTTON.

It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of Sub- Inspector. Edwin John Cotton, a popular officer of the Hongkong Police Force, who succumbed to pneumonia at the Government' Civil Hospital on Saturday after noon, after a brief illness of about a week.

The late inspector Cotten was taken to hospital in the middle of the month suffering from a chill, but on admission the complaint was diagnosed as pneumonia. His con- dition became worse, and he gradually

On Thursday last it was considered advisable to notify his wife at Home by cable. Although the best medical treatment was forth- coming, he showed further signs of becoming worse and on Saturday WEA stated to be toxic and de lirious. In the afternoon his con- dition grew rapidly worse, and he passed away at 3 o'clock.

A very popular and conscientious officer, the late Sub-Inspector Cotton was well liked by his col Idagues and all those who came in contact with him. His demise is the more regrettable owing to the fact that ho would have retired

carly next year, and his wife and child were awaiting his return to England on pension.

Inspector Cotton was 14 years of age, having celebrated his last birthday on February 5. He was born in Colombo, the son of a ten- planter, and had his home in Birkenhead, Cheshire. He formerly in the Royal Artillery, and joined the Hongkong Police Force as, a constable in 1911. He' received the usual promotions, and eventually was appointed a Sub- Inspector in July 1922.

In his younger days, the late Inspector Cotton was a keen sports- man, and always enjoyed a good- game of tennis, although during the latter part of his life he had retired from active participation in games but was a keen follower of football.

The Funeral.

The respect in which he was held of the Force and by members among a large circle of friends outside the Police was shown by the large attendance at the funeral, which took place at the Protestant Cemetery yesterday evening. The coflin, which was draped in A Union Jack, was borne to the grave- side by members of the Police Force. The burial took place in the Old Re- R. Hall, G. Swan and E.
