Official Report Reviews Britain's Famil LONDON (Reuters) - Britons learned today that their crowded lslarid is probably going to stay crowded. but no strong increase 1,, population is likely to strain its. gocial seams. This news. and some surprising figures on British love and married me, are contained in the first com- prehensive study of Britain's fam- uy growth since 1911. The official ,.-port by two professors was is- sued t0d3)'- More than 1.000.0000 women an- nvored the questionnaires from which professors D. V. Glass of rho "London School of Economics and E. Grebcnik of Leeds Univer- my drew their conclusior.l3- g They found that the big families which swelled Britain's population and helped make her a world power muling the 19th century now are de- lmitely a thing of the past. The size of the average British family has dwindled from five children in 1890 in 2.3 in 1946. the report says. STABILITY REACHED But indications are that families have increased slightly in size dur- y Growth ing the last it years and that an over-all population stability now has been reached, the report says. It predicts that Britain will prob- ably just keep her present popula- tion of 50,000,000, judging from a falling death rate. increased chance of marriage and the apparent new stability of family size. Another figure shows a high pre- valence of pregnany before mar- riage. A total of 438 of every 1,000 brides under 20 years of age are already pregnant when they wed, the report says. Between the ages of 20 and 24. the figure was 227 of 1,000. Statistics indicate at least 35 per cent of British wives now start their marriages with use of birth control and 63 per cent are using it by the end of their fifth year of marriage. After that the proportion rises rap- idly. Childless marriages have in- creased sharply. Of 1,000 womui married in 1925, 161 were child- less -- almost double the proportion for women married between 1370 and 1879.

The latter have. of course, not made any great appreciable ad- vance in prices. but popularity is. being established and more fox furs are being worn in all the fashion centres of the world. The visit in North America of the Queen Mother who ,was always adorned with silver fox, has helped very much because she was wearing particularly good specimens and showed them off well. u . . Sam Gottesfeld. one of the top market authorities in New York. commenting on the HBO. fur sales in that city at the end of the season, states that dressed EMBA mutation mink sold fully in line with the raw mutations offered earlier in the week. The entire collection was well over 90 per cent sold as the trade continued to absorb merchandise. 1-f.B.C of- fically reported as follows: A total of 8,337 Royal pastels was 96 per cent sold. reaching a top of 546 for males and 325.50 for fem- ales. some 931 Stewarts were 94 per cent sold hitting 346 and 525.50. A collection of 461 Lutetias was 100 per cent sold with highs of s55 for males and 331.50 for females. A total of 6,297 Cerulearis and Cerulean types was 100 per cent sold, at tops of 361 and 330.- 50. Breath of springs reached 566 and 332. I I A small offering of homozygous types was 100 per cent sold, reach- ing a top of 580 for Stewart Sil- verblu type males. An offering of 9.479 Jasimines was selling at the rate of a 93 per cent turnover and hit a high of .360 for males and still for females. The auction house gnve no official report on the Jasmines, but trade sources put. the level at fully firm to current marketg some 53 per cent of the Royal pastel males sold between 530 and 542, and almost 65 per cent of the females ranged between 519 and 523. Trade sources point- ed out, however, that the sharp- est increase in the Royal pastel males has come in the commer- cial and low grade merchandise. A year ago, for example, 20 per cent of the Royal pastel males offer- ed brought under s26.'The lowest price in the above sale was S26. rind only 11 lots or '1 per cent of the male offering brought below 530. Last December, 46 per cent of the males brought below 80. . . . The great increase in female price levels becomes even more apparent on comparison with last Decem-ber's Royal pastel prices. Currently. over 60 per cent of the females are bringing 319 to s23. and another 23 per cent of the females are going over 323. A year ago only 5 per cent of the fem- ales brought 819 to 322.50, and 75 per cent of the collection rang- ed from s15 to 519. Market sour- ces reason. therefore. that coni- petition at the auction level has practically eliminated the so-cail- ed cheaper goods,'puslring this merchandise into the price bracket of better skins last year. 0 0 Annlng, Chadwick dz Klever, Lon- don.

March 2nd and 3rd.. I I The following taken from the U. 5. Fur Rancher. October 7th. will explain the above:- A further dc- veiopnicnt in the long-awaited re- turn of long-haired furs is on the way with the current program of the American Fox Breeders Association. which is promoting three new types of fox - each magnificent in its own coloring - under i-cgiatercd tradcmaifks by ar- rangement with the Canadian Na- tional Silver Fox Brccders' Assoc- iation. These new types are: Opa- line Pearl-Platinum Fox. Onyx silver Fox and Palladium Platinum Fox These three exciting new Mink Farming kinds of fox appeared again and again in the recent Paris, London and New York collections and are being promoted in an extensive advertising campaign which inclu- des full color pages in Vogue,, Har- per's Basaar and Town and Coun- try, backed up by substantial edi- torials. Advertisements abroad are running in leading fashion mag- azines of Canada. Germany Italy, France and England. Specially bred for shimmering tones, gllnting sheen. silken depths, the extraor- dinary beauty of these new types of fox has done much to revive iiiterest in fox. which is now re- suming its rightful place on the fashion scene. I I I The Agricultural Research ser- vice of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture is conducting researches with penrays for ani- mals in co-operation with colleges. universities and experimental sta- tions. One of the best of these stations is connected with the Uni- versity of Wisconsin at Madison. Wis. The program calls for an analysis of the various mutant genes affecting coal; color to- de- termine their independent or as- sociated relationshlp with each other and to test the remlis of various combinations of genes in producing desiraible pelts. Though the program has seemed to em- phaszze coat color it does apply to other fur qualities and climacter- istlcs of commercial importance. some fur breeders ranch an ana- lysis is made of breeding back- ground. and if possible controlled matings are conducted at Madi- son. I I I The "newest" gene palo;nino is being test-mated with an impres- sive list of the "older" genes and these also are being checked in various combinations with each other. They are: brown-eye pastel, green-eye pastel, Ungava. platin- um, albino, goofus, black crcss, silver sable (also Stewart factor. if it is different from ES). ebony- blu, colmira, roml silver and "coon". Two genes affecting the length of texture of the hair. cur- ly and angora, are being investigat- ed. The genes involved. problubly many. producing the very short guard hair condi1iLon calledmole guard hair condition called mole are being aiialyzed. i I I I Several iztncs involving anoma- lies are also under investigation such as "midget". "shorty". short tail, hydrocephalus. "bull dog". and naked. The basic reproductive pattern in mints is being studied including the number of matings required for maximum litter size, interval between matings. etc. At- tempts are being made to alter these patterns by use of sex hor- mones and gonadotrophins. These techniques will be applied to mar- tcns when the recently establish- ed herd has attained greater size. The nutrition phases of the re- search have just recently been made it part of the co-operative pro- gram, The current study pertains to the effect of feeding "high" quan- tities of fat; on mink pelt qualities and reproductive ability.

(GP) - Hospital authorities Thursday described as "greatly improved" the condition of two children, who suflered ser- ious respiratory ailments Monday following a fire in their home at Adamsville. Que., 43 miles south- west of here. Two other children of Mr. and Mrs. Aurel Dion-Jean-mare. 3. and Donat. six months-died of asphyxiation as a result of being rolled in the snow. according to Dr. Paul Roy. district coroner. Brought to St. Justine Hospital here Wednesday were Collette, 4. and Vincent, 18 months. The fire started while the chil- dren were alone in the house. The parents were in a barn milking COWS. Police quoted Mrs. Dion as say- ing she found the kitchen in flames and the children apparently uncon- scious. The frantic parents then rolled the children in snow in the hope. of reviving them. Crime Index Helps Police OTTAWA, (CP)-A crime index system at RCMP headquarters here. detailing all serious crimes in Canada and classifying how they are committed, has specded police work by quickly narrowing the list of suspects for various offences. The system, originated by Scot- land Yard and adopted by the RCMP about 15 years ago. was described Wednesday night in a service club address by Cnnst. Harry Lesick of the RCMP iden- tification branch. Confirmed criminals tend to re- peat their offences with similar methods. he said. A chain of re- lated crimes implies the work of one particular niuii. Tile crime in- dex helps put the finger on him. Similar crime patterns depend on the personality of the criminal. The index is divided into such subsections as frauds, robberies, safecrackings and international criminals. Erich sub- section is headed by an expert on the various crimes. Some research woik was done during the Second World War on a machine to handle 'all the data and feed out the answers but the idea. was ditched in favor of the sub-section practice. N O Esta:-day.

These dainty herbivorous rod- cnta are native to the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains in South America,principa.liy in Chile. Peru. Argentina and Bolivia. There they make numerous and very deep burrows which are danizerous to men on horseback. In the Andes they are found at from 1.200 to 8,000 feet elevation. After the coming of the white man and his development of the fur trade. chinchillas were extensively hunted for their fur by the natives. who used weasels to drive them from their burrows. in i890 this led to the exportation of 450,000 chin- chilla skins from Chile. In order to prevent their extermination, Chile. Peru and Bolivia then placed an embargo on the shipments of chinchilla. skins. The chinchilla has a body about 10 to l2 inches in length and a tail fully six inches long. Its head re- sembles that of a rabbit, but its body resembles in many ways the common guinea-pig(Cavia. cabaya). including similar conformation of roctless molar teeth. The chinchilla ears are long, broad and thinly covered with hair. In their natural surroundings, they are nocturnal, and feed early in the morning and towards sunset. They feed on grasses and roots. To eat, they sit on their haunches, holding the liood in their fore-paws.

Timothy hay of good quality is their main staple food. They should have some green material through- out the year. Bunflowcr as-zdl. small pieces of apple and raisins are used as treats. The calel should be kept scrupulously clean. The chinchlllas like to take a Send bath every day. In the Andes they probably had a very fine. volcanic ash, which seems to be nearly everywhere, but any clean, fine sand will do. The chinchlllas do a grer.t deal of running and jumping. and should have n perch in their cage for acrobatics. A squirrel-wheel can be used to reduce those that carry too much flesh. In handling, they are picked up by the tall, as their bodies are tiny, delicate and very easily in- lured, except when lifted in the proper way. In captivity there are many problems in raising the babies of these, which are suscept- ible to chills and disorders of both lungs and intestines. At present Continued on page 1: 24, BJIV 15 REG.
