Using aliases he travelled throughout the world, sponsoring financial concerns which he worked up into profitable ventures, embezzled capital and then disappeared. It was in 1904 tltat Pinkhant, his right name, came under no- tice of the police when he tvas sentenced to two months for fraud. In 1912 he received a year for forgery" in i922 three years {or fraud, and ill 1925 five years for fraud. His frauds in- cluded the giving as security of a coal mine that didt1’t exist. One time he went to Scot- land iii the guise of a priest. launched a chain of stores and then walked off with the profits.

Bilbao And War Risks

Bilbao spells crisis. As the Spectator points out, the situation is delicate, difficult, and the niceties of intt-riizititiital law can he appealed to for no clear precetlent. The governing fact is the institution of the nott-interventiott “plan -—— at the instance not of Britain. btit of France -— vvhich involved the principleithat the two con- tending parties in Spain should be left to fight their hattlt-s out by themselves. By that prin- ciple Britain has stood firmly so far, and as a restilt the danger of a liuuopcziti war has sensibly receded. At such a juncture it is well to consid- er how tiinvise it \\'lIlll(l be to give Germany and Italy an excuse to send their warships itito Span- ish harbours by sending British into territorial waters at Bilbao. That is one very relevant consideration. Another, pointing to the same ooncltisitin. is the interpretation which strict non- intervention scents to require in the present case. General Franco is attempting to invest Bilbao by land and sea. 1f he succeeds the city will fall for lack of food, a5 Madrid would have fallen if he could ltave made the investment of the capital effective. The principles of non- intervention pltinly require that if Balbao is to be kept open for the import of food it must be by the Spavish (Lnvt-riiineiits navy or air planes‘ and not the British navy~ The two sides muré fight their tnvit hatile by scat as well as land. .\ny llritislt mt-rchatit-sliip is perfectly free to rttii for llilhao. if it chooses. and may he protected titttsiilc territorial mtters by the fttll strength of tht- British navy, btit those who de- mattd that ships shiittld he convoyed even in- side the tltt-rw-ntilt- limit for supply of food or the cvacttaiititi of women and children arc urg- ing a course that is inconsistent with real non- intervt-ittiiiit and itiight wcll mean a recrudes- cence of ititcrvciiiioii all rotind. There arc larg- er issues invnlvt-d than the landing of_a few food cargoes at llilhtio, or the rescue of tion-com- batailts, vital though that may lie to Bilbao.

A statement issued by the recently formed justice for Ulster Committee remarks that if Ulster got tltc same share lll the distribution of revenue derived from taxation as other parts of the United Kingdom, there would be ap- proximately 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 potiritls more spent in Northern Ireland.

"The Yukon has no marine outlet of its own to the southwest, the Alaskan panhandle reach- ing all the way down to the Portland Canal. The extension and linking tip of existing high- ways, fcderal, provincial and Alaskan, is likely to be the limit attempted so far as land coin- mtniications are concerned for many years to come, and what is now the Yukon will remain far remote from the industrial and legislative centres of British Columbia. This suggests a doubt as to virhether or not the people of Yukon ltave been fully considered in the negotiations which have been taking place. Men familiar with the territory seem dubious about the pro- posed annexation, suggesting that the Yukon has little to gain and much to lose, particularly in the ttiatter of taxation." This is what the Montreal Gazette says about the latest Mackenzie B, C. election bribe.

“No change in bread prices locally was ex- pected to be made by bakers althought wheat was approximately 20c lower per bushel than the high price of $1.50, reached during the early part of April, at the close of trading in Winnipeg Wednesday. Bread prices were advanc- ed in Montreal one cent per loaf to meet the increase in price of ingredients. The stand of bakers, it was learned, is that wheat or flutir prices are but one factor in the cost of bread and. while it is admittedly a large factor, there is no definite indication present price levels will not ap reciate considerably. Bakers further con- tend tlilat when wheat rose from 6o cents to $1 last October an increase was made and a furth- er one at the end of March when the price rose to $1.35. Bakers. it is understood, are unlikely to reduce the prices unless wheat again falls be- low the dollar mark. Milk and sugar prices also are important factors in the ultimate cost of a loaf, it is said. and the general price level of all commodities has appreciated during the past year.” ~ .

A medical discovery, a pneumonia treatment that cut the death rate by three-quarters was reported to a thousand scientists now meeting at Memphis. The pneumonia treatment cover- ed 1,5oo cases of all types, at all ages, at the Lotiisiana State University Medical College. New Orleans- It was reported to the Federa tion of American Societies for Experimental Biology by Dr. Clyde Brdoks. One-half of the patients, he said, received the standard pneu- monia treatments, the other half injections of a protein substance which, Dr. Brooks said. his medical friends think ought not to work. But. he said, the death rate of those treated, with the protein was 1o pet- cent. in lobar pneumonia, against 39 per cent, for patients receiving all the usual pneumonia remedies. The death rate was 9 per cent. in broneho-pneumonia, against 32 per cent. The cases covered five years. The ntcdical name of the protein is deutero protease. or secondary proteose. It is made from fibrin. the substance which cause: blood to clot.

Dr. Norman W. Celln, Seattle. Wash. in Northwest Medicine. 5818. “Frequent colds at any season or at special seasons of the year are often manifestations or symptoms of al- lergy. To diagnose (find out.) that condition 1s allergic there must be an investigation of (a) a family his- tory of allergy, (2) previous allergic history of the patient (asthma, 11B»! fever, eczema, stomach and intes- lfnal upsetments) and (3) a present history of allergic symptoms.
