Australia Cuts v Her Naval Force

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb.l0.—lBy The Canadian Press>--The two comparatively new Australian sub- marines the Otway and Oxley, have been handed over to the Royal Navy and will join the Mediterranean Fleet. Economy is given by m! 80V" emment as the reason for this move. A new 6,000 ton cruiser how- ever will replace the obsolute Bris- bane.

The move is said to be the T651111- ovf conversations between the British Admirality and Pannier James Ssul- lin during his recent visit to Eng- land.

Apparently the changing hands of the submarines involves an under- taking by which Australia will re- place them with the latest types of the Leander class cruiser as soon as finances permit. ‘The change does does not effect the recent Naval meaty, because the Empire's naval ships are treated as a unit, and. accordingly, the submarines are merely being transferred.

The agreement will give Australia [mu- up-to-dato over-water craft, which will provide good facilities for training. It is pointed out that sub- marines are extremely expensive to operate, and the newest type of cruiser has all-round advantages to ‘Australia. Meanwhile the giving up bf the submarines will save Australia IOme thousands of pounds. It. is not disclosed what the British Govern- ment is paying Australia for them. Presumably Great Britain ls purch- Ising them instead of building new ones under the 1930 esllmites-

Ong of the features of “Jane's Fighting Ships, 1930," is a plan of, the Leander class which class, says the editor, "represents a return to sanity in cruiser design, compared with tho overgrovm and overgunned 10.000 Treaty type (H. M. A. S. Can- xenon."

The 6,000 ion cruisers are contem- plated as auxiliaries to the 10.003 vessels, carrying 6-inch instead 0f 0-inch Buns. _

The Otley and Oxwoy were com- pleted in 1927 in England with an underwater displacement of 1835 tons, surface speed of 15 1~2 knots, umed with 4-inch and one smaller gun and eight torpedo tubes.’

MECHANICAL DOCTOR

The latest craze in Paris is the treatment of patients by means of gramophone records. The records, made by an artist with just the right kind of soothing bedside voice, sug- gests to the patient that every sec- ond he is getting better and better.

The inventor is Dr. Vachet, who believes strongly in the healing pow- er of suggestion. He has prepared a series‘ of’ records ‘suitable’ "for ’ all kinds of ailments. Sometimes the record contains music that is felt to be particularly suitable.

There is a. proposal to extend the idea by making records containing talks on the symptoms and cure of all kinds of simple but common ill- near. The idea 1s that every house- hold should possess a library to which members can refer when they are feeling ill, but rather too hard up to afford a doctor.

Second Actor-"Yes, they knew you weren't really dead.’

REJUVENATING OLD MENT

EQUIP-

(Expcrlnrcntal Farms Note)

Increased production, kccner com- petition in marketing and falling prices are matters of grave concern to the honey producer of the pres- ent time. Prices are such that little or no profit is being received by the producer on his‘ enterprise. One of the remedies recommended is to low- er the cost of production and while the boekeeper may see ways and means of doing this, one method of reduclngthe costs is to get the max- imum of service from the equipment, especially from hives, supers and other articles that are made of wood. A person owning a house knows that it will rapidly fall into decay if small repairs are not promptly attended to or if periodical painting of the outside surface ls neglected. The same thing applies to bee equipment. but because the house represents a large investment and a single beehive a. very small one, the latter is too» often neglected, but it should be remembered that in on. nplary of many colonies tho in- vestment is no mean one. In the first place all new hives, super; and appurtenances ahuold be well paint- ed with a good quality paint "Save tho ran-face and you cove all" ap- plies Just as well to bee ‘, .t

TIIl-LATl-IAMIS SHAW

i At m... homl. m. Iidwud mm. on Monday, February 9th, m. Joann Show passed peacefully owoy in his 95th year.

Ho was born at Buckley Point on August 2nd, 1886, tllo eighth child of James Shaw and his wife, Mary Moc- Csllum. Ho was the lost member of a family of eleven, "to be gathered to their fathers."

His forebears were among the earliest pioneers of Prince Edward Island who came from Argyleshire, Scotland, in 1700, settling ‘I0 Stan- hope, Coyeheul Boy and Brockley Point, where many descendlnts now reside. _

Mr. Shaw carried on farming for many yum at Buckley Point until twenty-six years ogo when he pur- chased the fine property of the late Charles Palmer, K. 0., Mt. Edward Road, atthe outskirts of Charlotte town.

Two years ago he sold this property to Mr. Fred Ros; and built a home opposite the Experimental Station where he lived up to the time of his death with his son and daughter-in- law, m. and mm. Victor Show.

For the past two years he had been confined to his bed, but his‘ mind rc- mnined clear and his faculties unim- paired almost to the very lost.

, A week ago a change for the worse set 1n and he gradually grew weaker until death called him to the Home Eternal.

Mr. Shaw inherited in o. marked degree those sterling moral, mental and physical qualities which disting- uished his sturdy, hard-working, God-fearing Scottish ancestors. whose labors have laid the founda- tion of our Island's present agricul- tural prosperity.

By his thrift. industry and intelli- gence he won success in his chosen _ calling. Ho won also the highest rsircm of the community, in whose welferc ho always took a deep infer- est, by his integrity, genlallty and sympathy and his deep religious con~ victicns. He p- eased an alert mind, abouncllng vitality, unfailing optim- ism, the saving grace of humor, and was one of the most componionable of men. '

By his death a notable link between ihe present and the past has been severed. A beloved husband and father and a_ worthy representative of the honored yeomanry of Prince Edward Island has gone to his re- ward.

His wife, nee Annie Ryder, passed away four years ago. i i

There are left to fondly cherish his memory four sons: Prof. H. H. Shaw. Chief Superintendent of Education, belbert of Stanley, Shaw a.- Peardon. Charlottetown. victor at home, and Vernon in Edmonton, Alberta.

To the lbereaved relatives the sym- pathy of many friends in city and country will be extended.

Mr. Shaw will be laid to rest in the People's Cemetery this, Wednes- day afternoon. The services will start at 2 o'clock and the funeral will leave at 2.30.

Rev. Mr. Logatef pastor of st. James Presbyterian Church, of which the late‘ Mr. Shaw was a member, will wfficlate- 4

UNKNOWN TO MAN

There are still many regions that explorers have never managed to conquer. One in Alaska measures many thousand square miles and, l0 far as can be estimated, is almost entirely covered by rugged glacial mountains,

It has been assaulted for hundreds of years by natives and white men, but so far no one has been able to penetrate it. Geologists and topo- graphic engineers surveyed under great clllllculties s section of the area, and 1,200 miles were removed from the chart of unexplored terri- tory.

They saw no human beings, and they came upon v. native camp that had been deserted for at least twenty years. Even the natives cannot face the cold, rainy and foggy climate. There is animal life in obundlncc. including black and grizzly bears. caribou, moose and mountain sheep, but the wealth of food cannot make up for the intense cold.

Fish cannot survive in the streams because of the large Amounts of glacial silt in the water, and tho streams move too swiftly for ordinory Iwater tramport. The explorers nod

to drag their boot by hand.

Alaska, which is oppropriltnly termed "the country on top of tho world," has ln area of nearly '00.- 000 square miles. Ito population ll one person to ovary eleven miles.

Natives Refuse To Punch Clock

‘For Henry Ford

_-_ I RIO DE JANEIRO, Fob. '100.—Bra- oil's dream of conquest of the mighty

exploitation of its rubber resources by tho American auto king, Henry llbrd, appeared to have collapsed.

Advices from Para, on the Amazon, said that Mr. I'm-d, after spending millions of dollo-rl, bod found him- self un “ ‘o combat native antag- onism in efficiency methods popular in Detroit, and is giving up his huge rubber experiment on the Tapojos River.

Employees on the farms recently hove been reduced from 8000 to 200. Some Americans working on the pro- ject havo resigned, while other; as- signed to an Australia-n post now are in Para awaiting transportation.

Among the American methods in- troduced to which the natives ob- jected, it is unddrstood, are punch- ing o time clock and standing in line with any: for food at tho mess mu.

‘ Such efficiency methods are unheard

of in tho tropics and greatly amused the Brazilians.

Eviction of former tenants as clear- ing proceeded also led to antagon- isms, ond lots last year it was neces- sary to send police by airplane from Pan to quell o riot of notivu who marched on the farm headquarters with pltchforks, guns and farm im- plements. Recently there was said to have been a mess hall riot, with the laborers breaking a quantity of dish- el against each other. -

American circles here understan Mr. Ford believed he had s federal concession for his rubber farm. whereas it was only a state conces- sion, backed only by transitory’ 51.0w authorities. The Ford interests spent $90,000 a month for supplies and $7,000 for labor.

IIUINED BY HAIL

Ksilstorms can do such heavy damage to crops that most farmers insure specially against them. Amer- ica, where people love preparing statistics, estimates that ten million pounds is lost annually in agricul- ‘tursl districts through these storms.

Strangely enough, forests ward off hall. Insurance companies invari- ably find that in forest districts hall- storms are o. very rare occurrence.

Greenhouses are naturally the heaviest sufferers, but ordinary win- dows ore sometimes broken on a gl- gnntic lcalo. Recently a European town hod over a million window panes smashed in a storm that last- ed less than a quarter of an hour.

Indio. has very heavy hallstorms. On one occasion, two hundred and fifty people were killed. Many vic- tlnu were pounded to death by the hail, but moot of them were knocked

noongcious and died of cold and ox- posure. Sometima several hundred oottlo are killed in a single storm.

Moat hsilstorms that fall in Brltoin oro small, and do little damage. A world record for silo was created two years ago when a hailstorm seven- teen inches in circumference and weighing one and a half pounds was found in America. In Spain, houses were on one occasion crushed under a storm of blocks of ice, some of which weighed four and a half pounds apiece.

Mr. Clay, of the Live Stock Branch gave an interesting address, em- phasizing the importance of selling hogs alive, rather than drused, which was resulting in poorer quality of pork and o losing proposition to both producer and packer.

He advised the importance of memb a standirl; behind their or- ganizatlon, which was a permanent outlet for the shipping of live stock during low prices or high winter or summer.

The President's Report

Our 7th annual meeting shows o. serious change in the hog situation. We have dropped from 014 hogs last year to 070 hogs shipped in 1930. This dimunition of hogs produced is not local, but general throughout the Maritime Provinces. Statistics show that thc hog population is less by 100,000 tllrOllgll0llC*CSllSd8. In 1927, we exported 39,000,000 pounds of ba- ron to the British market. At pres- cnt we import rather than export. We are at present faced by a new organization among packers. The formation of the "Canadian Packing Plant" in Montreal, consisting of 9 plants that have amalgamated, showing a profit of $1,000,000 from the year's operation. This organiza- tion will use-ifs influence to depress-

ed market values of ‘hogs and lambs"

if they will be allowed to have their own way. We have been successful 1n 1930 in putting through 10 ship- ments. These shipments, although small, kept hogs, lambs and calves moving as they were being finished.

Since the operation of the wide guage, we have endeavored to keep in touch with other clubs and com- bined shipments to keep down ex- penses.

The financial results of our ship- ments show spreads ranging from $1.10 to 01.50 per cwt., between sales and returns. These spreads are quite moderate considering the two and three cents in former years. ~ Prices this year received for hogs were good in comparison to other livo stock. Farmers who kept their breeding sows and kept themselves stocked with hogs were fortunate, as prices this year ranged from 12.40 to 9 cents. Quite frequently ship- pers received “ amounting to $200.00 and moro.

Our lambs market wos discourag- ing,,ao much so, that many farmers butchered rather than sell at sacri- ficing pricss. The market in early summer started fairly good with o price of $12.00 in July, which later dropped to 0 cents. A further drop to 5 cents was urged by packers, but this drop was counteracted by Mr. King, Manager of the Canadian Live Stock Producers, _ and "'llll.8d in boosting prices 9t of a cent higher. We shipped 2'1 calves, which shows a variable market ranging from 4 cents to 08.40, according to quality.

Someti the secretory is asked to give‘ particulars as to market values on the day of loading. This is difficult to do as live stock re- ports are not out until A osdoy ev- ening, which gives a fair ldeo as to what price hogs and lambs will real- ize. It is best for every shipper to keep in touch with live stock re- ports, on they-appear in the press, from time to time to bole their con- clusion ls to what to expect regard- ing the market valuo of their hogs.

This you wo woro monlcod by certoln buysrl. Thou por- lons oomo from nowhere

when market values no advancing and there is on opportunity to make o dollar and disappear when the prices are on the doollno.

T0 SUPERVISE TIIE BATIIERS

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Febum-(By The Canadian Press)--Special pa- trols will be stationed at many of the beaches this summer to ensure that ‘bothers do not ovcrstep the bounds of decency in their choice of bathing costumes. A reasonably broad interpretation will be placed on the regulations requiring neck- to-knee costumes and no action is likely to be taken as long as bathers are decently covered.

All bayslde municipalities are de- finite, however, that stripping to the waist when sunbathing will, on,no account be tolerated.

Another matter upon which auth- orities are frowning is that of poo- ple walking the street in bathing cos- tumes without any other covering. Drastic steps are to be taken in some suburbs to prohibit this.
