Expert Mission Canary Breeding Moye Recalls Disaster of Ex­ pedition 2 Years Ago, When Engineer was Executed for Love Affair Generous Terms Offered Rome.—The visit of King Amanul- J*h to Italy may result in an inten­ sive emigration to Ills kingdom, Af­ ghanistan, not of laborers or agricul­ turists, but of electlrcal engineers, doctors and professors. This will be the second time that such an expedition has been planned. The first experiment was tried two. years ago, when at the suggestion'“of the same king a group, of fifty Itali­ ans, engineers, architects, doctors and nurses was sent to. Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, It ended rather disastrously, though the offer seemed very attractive, as King Amanullah undertook to pay all the expenses of the journey for tlje members of the commercial mission was to civilize and develop the coun­ try. Many young men and women were attracted by the opportunity to make their names. The mission came to disaster through an adventure of one of ita members, an engineer, with an Af­ ghan woman. He was arrested for attacking the family party, w’hich set an ambush for him, and was put to death before diplomatic negotiations could arrange for his extradition to Italy. A forty-elglit-hour ultimatum was sent by Italy to Afghan and $30,000 was paid as an indemnify to tlie I tali- ' an government. Feeling ran high in Kabul against foreigners, and the mission was forced to “leave hastily, • with the exception of four members > who were under the direct protection j of the king. The new offer made by the King during his visit is generous. Besides • traveling expenses, he has offered, salaries of $300 a month, lodgings j and insurance. | In spite of past experiences the le­ gation is being besieged by appli­ cants attracted by the salaries. The recruiting officer, a member of the first mission, is quite frank about the hard work which they will be called upon to do. At present in Kabul, besides the Italians who remained, there are sixty Germans fessions bound to the laws and the whims of its rulers. The King is very much interested in a native cloth factory at Kabul, It turns out only one kind of material of an inferior quality, which' foreign­ ers seldom buy. In order to encour­ age home Industry, King Amanullah Insists on all his friends patronizing the factory. His method in regard to foreigners 1b original. Whenever he receives any one in audience he has close to his chair a pair which he holds carelessly while he talks. The knowing ones sit the newcomers sit near. King leans forward and cuts off the lapel of the visitor’s coat. This? of course, encessitates purchase of a new suit, and often the only choice is a suit of native material. Afghanistan needs architects, en­ gineers, and doctors as, though every Afghan gentleman can read and speak Persian, owing to the lack of school for higher education, the noblemen and wealthy men beyond the rule of three, writing and arithmetic.

Starting with the head, bearskin caps worn by the band of the Royal Engineers and the Footguards costs $35 each, while the white metal hel­ mets of the Household Cavalry are $45. It is estimated that 1,500 yards of met&l ribbon is annually consumed by the crack regiments and this may be obtained from the Clothing Dept, at 83 cents a yard, which is just 60 cents above the usual market price. The silk for battalion colors is listed at $15 a yard. The State clothing of the House­ hold Cavalry and Sergeant Drum­ mers of the Footguards includes coats which cost $292 and $250 each, rc- specively. The red cloaks Wu.-n in wet weather by tho Household Cav­ alry e.r? at $55 each, as are al- ao uio State cloaks of Sergeant Drum­ mers in the Footguards. The whole Wardrobe of a Sergeant Drummer on State occasions foots* up to $350.

By observation and patience you will slowly but surely grasp those many fundamentals that experience alone can bring forth and that point to success. Canaries breed practically any time of tho year with proper environ­ ment, and .handling, but the regular breeding season runs from February up until July, The easiest and tlio^blood. most- profitable way-for the beginner to raise birds is. to mate one male with three females, Get as large a cage as you can. A cage the size of an orange or lpmon-box is about the right size. Always put your male in the breeding cage a week or so be­ fore the females. You will find by so doing there will be less flgl and you will obtain quicker and ter results.

If left to ’ her own initiative, the bird is likely to construct a nest o/ such propor­ tions that it will be physically im­ possible for her to cover all the eggs, and the eggs will sooner or later be­ come chilled and thus fail to-hatch. Many strange phases of wild life confront us in handling our canaries. Freakish and unexplainable twists of their eccentric temperament are of­ ten displayed in ways that are both puzzling and humorous. Foi’ example, one would naturally assume that three nests would be enough in a pen containing a male and three females, , but the experienced breeder always puts In an extra nest. If there are only three nests in the cage, two hens will invariably choose the same one and if left to themselves .they will both lay in that nest and fight each other for the privilege or honor, of sitting there. In all my experience I have never seen any exceptions 'to this rule-. If toe nest is not large enough for both birds, one will park herself on the edge and will maintain her position in thes ‘ame earnest manner as the one hovering the eggs. When the hen In possession leaves for food the watchful, waiting mother- to-be immediately jumps into the nest and very proudly takes up the duties. When the first hen returns she will park herself on the edge of the nest —and so it continues. Having the fourth nest in the cage eliminates that condition. When the birds have j settled down to housekeeping the l fourth nest can safely be removed. I When your birds start to build their , nests it is well to pulverize some old j plaster and sprinkle it over the bot- ■ tom of the cage every day.

As a result of his sec­ ond letter within a week to the minis­ ters demanding passage of the budget and certain other pressing legislation before the Reichstag is dissolved, all the principal parties agreed this af­ ternoon to accept the Cabinet’s emer­ gency program. This assures that the 1928 budget, providing for the payment of the Dawes plan; annuities for the first so-called standard years by Germany will be adopted before the election campaign begins. Under the arrange­ ments accepted by all the major parties the Reichstag will be kept at work until April 1 and the Parliamen­ tary elections will be held some time In May. Radicals Only Opponents. This plan was adopted by all parties except those representing “lunatic fringe—the Communists and Fascists. The program was adopted under the pressure of President van Hindepburg’s letter because no party dared to say “No” out loud to the President. It speaks volumes for Marshal von Hindenburg’s impartiali­ ty, that in the present case he is act­ ing directly counter to the clamor of the Conservatives—the very men who elected him to his exalted office. The opposition parties, while agree ing to co-operate in winding up the Parliamentary business and to refrain from making partisan motions, re­ served tho right to criticize and vots against the budget, for the creation of which they had no responsibility.

Its light, generated by electric current, is equal to 1,400 million candles. When wc consider that 1,400 million ordinary candles, put end to end, would extend eight to ten times'round the earth, and almost far enough to reach the moon, we realize how far man has travelled 1 as light-maker since the days of the first tallow'candle. Even if mediaeval man had been able to manufacture 1,400 million candles, and put them in 1,400 million candlesticks, the whole population of the world could not have set them alight; to-day a single man moves a switch, there is a maelstrom in the ether, and, the light of 1,400 million candles bursts into ffaiiie. So powerful is the lamp in Paris that from the top of the Eiffel Tower it would be visible for hundreds of miles; and if the Eiffel Tower were twice as high a man with field-glasses at Vienna would be able to see it quite clearly. The heat in the centre of the electric flame which radiates the light reaches 6,500 degrees Centigrade. That is to say, it equals tho heat at the surface of the sun! also are good.

Now is the time that your birds - must be left to themselves. Don’t go around them any more than is absolutely necessary. Don’t allow strangers around them, and above all, keep the cats and dogs away. Birds are very eccentric and very observing. Make a sudden or un­ usual movement before their cage and they will be suspicious of you the rest of the day. A nervous person will never have much success raising canaries.
