God Save the King! 39.»; THE BRITISH ELECTIONS From the returns received up to the time of writing. it is evident that the British electrns have resulted practically in o. stalemate. The Labor party under Rt. Hon. J. Ramsay MacDonald made significant gains and is the largest group. yet the fact hat they have not a working ma- jority and that Lloyd George has given definite that the Liberal party will not as a body sup- port the Laborites. makes the situ- atiorfivery uncertain. The result. as prediiled in The Guardian's de- spatcbks on Saturday. may well be Janothlar general election in the aut- ulnnf. 1t will be recalled that the previous Labor government which assumed the responsibilities of office "in January 1924, had no indepen- :dsnt majority with which to carry 311m, -their programme. They were forced to depend upon Liberal sup- port ‘and to abandon many of their Socialistic measures. BY Nfwcmb" ‘ of the same year another election was called and the government went down to defeat, the Conservatives sweeping the country with a 01cm‘ working majority over all parties. From the outset the probable out- . come of the election was complicated, J. first by the cnfranchisement of fivf! million young women between the 5. ages of twenty-one and thirty veers- ‘ i‘ and further by the existence of three ' vigorous parties. With a thrce-cor- nered fight in most of the 015 con- stituencies, it was exowwd that there ould be a. great proportionate dispar ty between thc D9001" “M” i 1°1- gny political party and thc 8085-5 5mm by that party.

To return for a moment to the report. In 192B liiere were approximately 160,500 ac- res under field crops in Indian reser- ves in Canada as compared with 144. 400 acres in i025. an increase for the period of more >than 17 per cent. While there were large increases in the acreage devoted to wheat, barley, rye and mizcd grains“ the outstan- ding increments were in tho amount of land growing hay, alfalfa, grain and other fodder crops and devoted to pasturage. This prepares one for the increase in live stock on Indian reserves which include, horses, cattle swine. sheep and poultry in the ag- gregate shows an increase of more than fifty per cent, according to a Canadian Pacific Railway bulletin. The Indian population of Canada is ct a conservative estimate about .l00,.000. Among the less civilized ltribes, according to the Department !of Indian Affairs, the high birth- rate balances on tho high death- rate. but in the civilised tribe when members have met and withstood t!“ first shock o: contact with civilisat- ion therc is an appreciable gain,‘ not only in numbers but in physical standards.

The Red Cros has done a most 1valuable work for public health in "Prince Edward Island, and is plan- ‘fling to continue the services here- iofore carried on so successfully, - {and ao branch out in new lines of ef- , lfort for the welfare of our people. LLnst year the Red Cross nurses in- lspected 26a schools: made zsss home |vlsits in the work for school child- ren, infants, cripples, tubercular pa- gtients, expectant mothers. and new i settlers; gave lessons in home nurs- iing and first aid to 86 women and 1319 children; and delivered 375 health ‘addresses. 20B examinations were made by a specialist in the clinics ;fcr crippled children which the Red ‘Cross organized, and a large number ' ward Island.

A R ARE TREAT Elocution is an art which is toot much mglected in these days of movies and radio, and it is rarely that an opportunity presents itself, of hearing, in this city, such a mas- ter of this form of entertainment as Mr. Paul Kollins, whose recital in Prince of Wales College, under the auspices of the Junior Catholic Wom- ens League. is advertised for Tues- day evening. Many of our citizens have heard Mr. Kollins on previous occasions, and it is safe to predict that they will make every effort tn hear him again in an extended pro- gramme of classical-and modem re- cltative pieces. It is really remark- able what new mcaning can be glean- ed frem a. page of Shakespeare or Dickens after hearing the lines in- terpreted by a. master recitcr.

"A portrait." he says. “does not gain power by adding a coat which no self-respecting scarecrow would don. Nothing is added to the effectiveness of a canvas by omit- tins buttons, ignoring seams. and maltreating the collars and lapels. There arc portraits in this year's Aeldemv which are a veritable eye- sore because of the distroted and shapeless gear which misrepresents modern dress. In these matters there is a cult of ugliness in some quarters. If R. A's themselves would set a reasonable standard reform would quickly follow. That some of them do. we gratefully admit, but a few of the worst examples arc ihe work of distinguished men, and they find lie-bagging."
