FIJI ISLANDS HAVE WET AND DRY SIDES The ,_ ‘ ems which present them- selves to exporters are wail illustra- ted in the case of exports to the Fiji Islands, a colony in the Southern Pacific Ocean comprising about 250 islands of varying siae and having a total area of 7.083 square miles. The largest is about 4.068 square miles. The colony lies some 5,200 miles from Vancouver and 1.140 miles from New Zealand. The climate is tropical with very little change between cum- mer and winter temperatures, the maximum being D2 and the mini- mum 85 degrees, and the seasons are the reverse of those in Canada. In addition there is a marked differ- ence between the east and west sides of the larger islands due to the pre- vailing trade winds. The windward side, which is the wet acne, has a greater rainfall and there is conse- quently a more luxurious vegetation than on the leeward side. In ex- porting products exporters must have all these conditions in mind. Boods of a perishable nature, either from heat or moisture, requiring to be so packed as to prevent deter- ioration trom these cases. For in- stance the usual method of packing oatmeal is in bags but Fiji mer- chants prefer it in sealed tins, not- withstanding that this doubles the cost of the same commodity in bags. states the Industrial Dolllftmlht of the Canadian National Railways. mined, The Tyranny of Nerves --* Y When the nervous I733!" hwm" “h” Unhappy r r . $23 ".'.°.°':‘.'.:.i"i'.i"l.2 $1.": iii-Tia to be in d .

THE TEMPERANCE ARMY MARCHES FORWARD ‘Po give our readers a velw of one section of our "far-flung battle 1ine,, we repaint the following interesting article from "The Korea Mission Field," which fine - publication reaches us through the kindness of Rev. E.A. Knechtel, BA" B.D., o. United Church missionary stationed at Sungjin, Korea). The National Branch of the W.C.T.U, in Korea ls making pro- gress. Mrs. Helen Chol, the presi- dent, reported at the meeting 0f our Foreign Branch on Sept. 21, i931, that there were delegates from 22 local unions at the National Con- ference in Seoul, and that there was one representative, Miss Marie Kim, at the World's W.C.'I‘.U. Convention in Toronto, Canada, in June, 1931. Twelve new local unions were form- ed through the efforts of the travel- ling secretary, Miss Hyo Duk Lee, five of them being in Manchurla, where she went late in August. Since then Miss Lee has visited Whang Hal Hovince, Anak, and vicinity, and established 15 more local unions. The local unions total a good ninety now with the mem- bership over the 2.000 mark. A temperance paper was issued for the first time early in 1931, and the whole output or 10,000 copies was sold. A second number has just been issued and it is hoped that each missionary will do his utmost to encourage the sale and reading of it in his treritory. Bible classes, Institutes.

R Defoe, their physi- cian, believes a. return to the xough-and-ready existence into which they were born would pro- duce a dangerous set-back in their condition. ‘The kindly, middle-aged north country doctor who has struggled with his five tiny charges until they have reached the age of 21 weeks and two days, said today that while the babies had reached the normal life expectancy of a single new-bom child, elation over the fact was subject tc qualifica- tion. They had that expectancy, hc declared, only as long as they re- maincd in the environment of the hospital built especially for them and received the care to which they had become accustomed. "They have become so accustom- ed to luxury," he said. "they would not be able to do without it now ‘they must remain under the con- ditions in which they have been living. with the best food obtain- able for them and skillful nursing." The children, now bv-nnzed, spent most of their time in the air sleen- ing, but howl prodlgously if the weather is wet and they cannot be taken out. the pink mouths oi the little girls. but Dr. Dafoe said they could not be expected for at least a month and might not arrive until consid. erably later than that, HAT STYLES IN IRISH FREE STATE ‘The stiff hat is going out of style in the Irish Free State along with the tall silk variety.

On the other hand, wool soft felt hats are quite popular, par- ticularly the Trllhy, snap-brim type, states the Industrial Department of the Canadian National Railways. The fur felt hat is also a popular product, the former coming chiefly from England and the latter being made locally from material imported from England. Italy and the United States. The making of tweed hats is an old established Irish industry but more than enough is made to satisfy the domestic market with the result that some quantities are ex- ported. Straw and panama hats are very little used.
