Replying to a question in the Toure, Mr. Bridgeman said that a new situn- tion had arisen owing to the fact that, although Great Tritain’s proposals for limitation in the number of large 10,000-ton cruisers had not been reed to at Geneva, the discussion left the hope that a limitation might be reached.

Improving Feeding Value Of Hay)

Mixtures Of Sweet Clover and West- ern Rye Grass Give Good Results

Sweet clover and western rye grass have given satisfactory results when \grown in combination at the Scott, | | Saskatchewan, Experimental Station. | {The mixture improves the feeding | value of the hay. A good aftermath, principally of sweet clover, is always secured from the first crop after seed-| ing. Sweet clover, however, does not} appear in the second crop except | where the seed failed to germinate) in the first year. It has been objected that the sweet clover often matures) earlier than the rye grass. On the other hand it cures more easily when mixed with rye grass than when grown alone.

Negotiations Under Way With Object

Of Turning Over Enforcement

To R.C.M.P.

Negotiations are under way be- tween the three prairies provinces and the federal department of justice which have, as their objective, turn- ing over the enforcement of provincial laws to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Announcement to this effect was made by the department of justice. The officials stated that all three prairie provinces were involved, but that Saskatchewan was pressing much harder than cither Manitoba or Al berta.

At the present time all three prov: inces have thelr own provinclal forces, which enforce provincial statutes. The Federal Government also keeps detachments of the R.C.M.P. in the

to enforce Dominion thus creating a duplication in police service, which the provinces would now avoid.

Years ago the R.C.M.P. did the police work for both federal and pro- vincial governments in Saskatchewan. The provincial government made a cash payment annually in return for

| services rendered, In the event of an

agreement being reached in the pres: ent negotiations, the provinces would be expected to recompense the federal government for the additional work involved,

Officials stated that the negotiations had not been completed, and that It was, as yet, impossible to say if an agreement would be reached,

To make an Intensive examination and patrol of the area East of Great Slave Lake, recently set aside as a sanctuary for musk-ox and other wild life, the Department of the Interior is sending out an experienced expiurer having an intimate knowledge of the }animal life of tho region. Warly in January W. H. R. Hoare of the North West Territories and Yukon Branc® will leave Ottawa for Edmonton on ttht first leg of his journey to the 15,000 square mile reserve lying on the Thelon and Hanbury rivers In the North West Territorles. From Ed monton Mr, Hoare will continue by rail to Waterways, the end of steel, and there he will begin an §800-mile journey by dog team tothe proposed location of his base camp on tho site of Fort Reliance, about 35 iniles | southwest of the westernmost corner jof the sanctuary. About a month will | be occupied in the trip to Fort Rell fetes, and It 1s not expected that Mr. ; Hoare will return South before the end of 1928 or the spring of 1929,

Accurate Information has long been | recognized as the basis of efficient and ; economical administration, and it 1s |for this reason that the Department of | the Interlor is having careful examina: | tions made of this part of Canada’s j Yast Northland before undertaking the | expenditures necessary to conserve jand develop the resources therein. {During his patrol Mr. Hoare will take ‘a census of the wild animals in the reserve, indicating as far as possible the inroads being made by wolves and other predatory animals.

He will also report on what meas- ures should be taken to protect tho big game therein, particularly the musk-ox and the caribou; on the num- ber of wardens that will be required | to properly patrol the area; and on | the best locations for wardens’ cabins. | There are no permanent residents, either natlve or white, in the sane tuary, and the area is, as far as is known, seldom visited, nevertheless observations will be made of the num- ber, if any, of Eskimos and Indians visiting the area and the seasons at which they appear.

For the purpose of equipping this patrol ,six Eskimo sled dogs wero brought from Pond Inlet, Baffin Island, by the 1927 Canadian ‘Arctic Expedl- ' tion. Sled dogs from the Eastern Are- tic are noted for their strength and endurance and on that account are rated highly by travellers in the Far North. A thick growth of fur close to the skin protects the Eskimo dog from the cold winds of the Arctic regions and makes him most suitable for work in the open expanses of the

Few Ploughs On Brazil Farms

Brazil's equipment in modern farm- ing machinery is very inadequate, with an average of only 14 ploughs per hundred farms, writes ‘Trade Com- missioner A. S.

Most of the hand tools sold in Brazil have been copled from Portugese models, by enterprising manufacturers, Hoes and spades and shovels are imported chiefly from England, axes from the United States, sickles and scythes from Germany and France, and shares from Great Britain, United States and Germany. Purchas- es of tools are usually made by trade marks which have an extracrdinary value in Brazil.

How Arabs Keep Cool

Wear Sun’s Heat

Ralph Linton of the Feld Museum, Chicago, who urrived in London from a tour of Madagascar and was on his way to New York, said he was taking to the museum 4,000 specimens Madagasy jewelry and told of crossing a desrt in the south of the island where the average temperature is 140 degrees and the only way to heep cool is to wear as many cloths as possible.

“It is an Arab custom,” he ex- plained, “Where the atmosphere was too dry for one to perspire I donned my thickest clothe and overcoat which kept out the heat. It Is extra-

ordinary how people there live 20 miles from water yet obtain only moisture from a cactus plant and mill.”

The primitive, Madagascans made him a member of their Sorcerers’ Union... “I didn’t need initlation,” said Mr. Linton. “It was imerely a

question of friendship and fees.”

He is taking to the museum a sor- cerers’ box beautifully made of brown wood and like an opera glass in size, containing dried brown beans.

“If you know the language of these plus a little bit of crystal you have the secret of how to kill your enemles retain or win love, ete., he explained.

The chief hardship of the journey was 26 attacks of malaria. He heard a legend about inan-eating trees, but did jnot find any and thought the natives

He obtained the jewelry in a plugue where suspects bribed the ; guards to be allowed to travel, thus | slutting the local market.

“Checking stories of Polynesian in- fluence in the island, I found them said Mr. Linton. “The basic

krit words, but there was no trace of that Hindu culture which has been strong in Malay since before Christ, and the only trace of Moslem influence was the refusal of some tribes to eat pig.”

It is not reasonable to select one man, put the jtask of public health entirely in his |hands and.expect him to accomplish it single-handed. | His work can only be effective if it jis carried on with the intelligent sup- {port of every member of the commun- jity. This involves education in the | baste principles of health. In other lwords, it involves creating public |opinion, Governments can not under- |take this task. The duty of govern- |ments is to follow public opinion, uot | to create It.

Public opinion must be ereated by the public itself, by the citizens band, jing themselves together to work for | the general good—a voluntary organ: | ization. A yoluntary organization, | therefore, must undertake the work of health education.

To grasp the underlying principles | affecting public health, it is necessary, \it one is to get to the root of the mat- iter, to tackle the problems which ure laffecting the race as a whole, the hid- * | den causes which weaken It and un- | dermine it. lt is necessary to draw the ‘atte ntion of all Canadians to these fae- j tors, educate them against them and {teach them how they may be avoided {or suppressed.

But this gocs far beyond public health as the public understands it to- |day. These factors are mental, moral, | physical, as well as soclal. Good hous- jing improves the stamina of the race, | cuts death rates, suppresses discase {at Its source, merely by changing lv- |ing conditions. Organized recreation | does the same thing. So does periodic j health examination. Divoree, crime, separation of parents, all the things which break up the home and upset our soci¥.l conditions, create disease and death which unnecessary. And unnecssary disease and death in their turn unite to create new social problems.

Had the average Canadian a basic | understanding of the subject, the re- sults would commence to show, almost immediately, in reduced death and preventable disease rates and in a cutting down of our tremendous an- nual economic losses from unneces- sary illness and death. It would en- able the members of a community to co-operate with their local public health officials In a manner which could easily increase the effectiveness of the latter many times.
