GOVERNOR TELLS SECRETS
OF 'FALKLAND ISLANDS
&,Arnold Hodson, C.M.G., the goy-
rnor and commander-in-chief of
the Falkland Islands, revealed a
number of interesting facts about
that little-known colony in an inter,
view with a press representative.
Mr. Hodson was recently married
in Aberdeen while home on leave.
"People in this country," said Mr.
Hodson, "have the vaguest ideas a-
bout where the Falkland Islands are,
and about their people, climate, or
products.
"It would come as a surprise to
many here to learn that the Falk-
land Islands and their dependencies
occupy an area of 3,000,000square
miles -an area which represents 1ti5
per cent. of the surface of the globe.
Compare this with the total area of
India, 1,805,000 square miles, and
you will get some idea of the extent
of the colony,' which consists of: -
The Falkland Islands; South Georgia
800 miles ,east -south-east of the
Falkland group; the South Shetlands
South Orkneys, and other islands,
and a part of the South Polar con-
tinent known as Graham's Land.
"The Falklands are the only Bre
Daly colony with a purely white pop-
ulation, The people are mostly of
Scottish extraction, land it need
hardly be said that the country is a
good country, for no Scot would live
In a bad one.
"There is no more loyal colony
in tihe Empire than the Falklands.
You should hear the children cheer
when they see the British flag in 8
cinema show, and you would realize
the sentiments that are instilled into
their minds.
"Rifle shooting is the great hobby
Of the islanders and they are good
shots. This year we sent a team to
]England to compete for the junior
Kolapore Cup, and it gained the
fourth position out of ten compet-

their shooting under treeng condit

for the constant winds that prevail
It is often said that the winds are
so strong that they ,blow the funnels
out of steamers and fleas off a dogi
The latter saying appears to be true,
for the dogs on the islands have no
fleas."
"What about wireless entertain-
ments?" Mr. Hodson was asked,
"Every night we get a program
from England," was his reply, "anti
we hear Big Ben strike, although
we are 6,000 milea off.
"Industries? Well, the main in-
dustry carried on in the Falklands is
sheep farming, and wool is the prin-
tapal item of export. Within the
dependencies the whaling field is of
greiiter importance than all the
others in the world combined.
I ought to mention that the Falk-
land Islands occupy an important
strategical position. There is a fine
harbor, and it was from this harbor
that the British warships went out
to defeat the German fleet on De.
cember 8, 1914.
"Travel in the inslands is done on
horseback, and, the islanders, inc]ud-

The recent drowning of a negro in

The majority cf Pape cu tern em-
ployed by haul ate Haytians Of the
pure black Congo type, densely ignor-
ant and thoroughly imbued with the
superstitious and syatent of devil wor-
ship handed down from their 'savage
ancestors,
They say that their employer p09-
sesses a familiar spirit, or "bake,"
which does his bidding and watches
over his interests, and that the ser -
takes vas-•.pur-

pent whose form it
chased yen's ago from
Papa Beauconp, or witch doctor, for
a large sum.
Should a Negro be lax In his tasks
or should he steal from his master
the snake will at once notify hint and
prompt. famishment will be dealt out
to the offender, think the voodooists,
and point, out that the Domipican's
cattle and horses are sleek and fat
while those of certain of his neigh-
bors are lean,
The point where the body of the
drowned Negro was round is marked
by a garden, cultivated by the super-
stitions In the hope of propitiating
the dead man's spirit and procuring
its influence against the future de-
mands of the serpent.
The snake itself is said to appear
near the garden at noon and at mid-
night and the spot is shunned at
these hours. A: other times laun-
dresses and bathers protect them-
selves from the snake with charms
and amulets which they wear sus-
pended around their necks.
A neighbor of this planter is also
prosperous, and to him is attributed
the possession of a "bake" which
takes the form of a pig. Haytians
say that this pig wears a chain
around its neck, the clanking of
which often can be heard as the ma-
lignant makes its nightly tours of in-
spection through the Negro villages
called bateys which are scattered
about the cane fields.
In the centre of each batey is a
circle of hard beaten ground on which
the Haytians dance on moonlight
nights to the throbbing of great tam-
bos or drums formed from hollow
logs and headed with goatskins.
Here the laborers and their women
indulge in. the wild contortions de-
manded by the priests and priest-
esses of voodooism, and inspired by
rum and superstition prance madly
until they fall exhausted by the glow-
ing embers. Fire walkers and fire
eaters feature largely at such orgies
and are looked upon by their dupes
as being sttpee men and women.
During the harvest season, which
lasts from mid-December untll July,
cane fires are of frequent occurrence
and occasion heavy losses to the
planters. For this season, in addition
to the bre guards paid ,by the sugar
Centrals, the Dominican Government
furnishes patrols of soldiers who ride
about the fields armed to the teeth
and who have small liking for Hay-
tians, "They are devil - wurshippers
-not Chris tan," say the brown
Dominicans of the blade Haytians,
"and this republic will never again
submit to their rule, aa It was Forced
to do for forty years during the last
century."
The Wily Fox.
The wiliness of the fox was ex-
emplified at a recent hunt with. the
Blencatltia Ferhounds In the Thirl-
merer Valley. Mr, Fox eluded the
hunters and found a -safe perch on
an 010051 Inaccessible shelf on the
face of New Crag. The ]rounds in
attempting to reach him slipped into
a rock buttress overhanging a preci-
pice from which they were unable to
extricate themselves. A floeitmaster's
son, named Brewnrigfis, was lowered
on a rope 100 feet long and, though
greatly buffeted by a gale which was
raging, succeeded in reaching the
hounds.
These ho had to lift singly from
one pitch of ruck to another until
they were out of danger.

Aviation Progress
Canadian aviation moved forward
at a rapid pace during 1928. On
January 1, 19.29, there were 333
airplanes in operation, or more than
three times the total of 101 on the
same date a year ago.
Of the total, 246 are engaged 'in
commercial pursuits and 87 are be•
ing used in Government services.

The total area of Sweden is almost
as large as that of Germany while
her entire population is barely 6,050,-

falls slightly behind those usually
found in the countries of Western
Europe.
There are about 80,795 miles of
highways outside of cities in the
country paved as follows: Macadam,
gravel -surfaced and dirt roads, 60,-

INSPECT OIL, GAS, WATER
It is essential to have water, oil
and gas inspected before starting
out on a long tour. Also it is well
to have the air pressure in all of the
tires looked after.
AMMETER ACTION TELLS
Engine silence has reached so high
a standard that car owners often are
unable to tell whether the motor is
running. The ammeter is the sure
guide. Keep an eye on it. An ir-
regular movement means the engine
is in operatien.
CAUSE OF UPHOLSTERY WEAR.
Dust that works its way into the
fabric Is the chief factor in rapid
wear of upholstery. The material
should be brushed with a whisk
broom at least once a month and,
after the brushing, subjected to a
thorough cleansing with a vacuum
cleaner. It means a valuable exten-
sion of upholstery life and much bet-
ter appearance.
A CARELESS HABIT
About the most destructive thing
that can be done to a cor is to turn
front wheels with the steering wheel
while the car is not in motion. This
puts a severe strain on steering
parts. To get wheels turned, move
the car slightly backward and for-
ward while turning the steering
wheel.
ADVANTAGE of HIGH-TEST GAS
I Engine lubrication is aided great-
ly by higher violability fuel. Being
more combustible, more of it burns
and less of it remains in the com-
bustion chamber to seep down cylin-
der walls, removing the lubricant as
it goes, and the less that gets down
the cylinder walls, the less dilution
of the lubricant there is.
ALIGNMENT OF WHEELS
Front wheels and tires should be
trued up separately. The front
wheels may toe to the proper amount
but the riots may not run true, thus
throwing the tires out of line, Thla
can be determined by revolving the
wheels separately and noting how
true they turn. Any variations may
be due to the wheels being too loose
on the axles or to the rims being
screwed to the wheels unevenly.
I MPORTANCE OF PLUGS I
1' When an automobile engine nris,:-
es at high speed or in climbing hills
the trouble can often be traced to
the spark plugs, according to engin-
eers. Much of this trouble, they may
is due to the spark plug points being
set too for apart, or because tho
plug's are simply worn out ,having
been used more than 10,000 miles.

The gap between the points should
not have more than .025 inch clear-
ance, or .020 inch in high compres-
sion engines. As spark plug trouble
is often mistaken for valve or piston
ring trouble, the proper thing to do
before making repairs, the engineers
say, is to have the plugs inspected
which will save unnecessary expense.
OIL for ENGINE in WINTER TiME
Because lubricating oils thicken
and become more viscous as they cool
a lighter grade should be used in the
engine and transmission during the
cold months. Most automobile en-
gines run nearly as hot in winter as
during other seasons, arter they are
thoroughly warmed up. The use of
too light an oil in winter may prove
unsatisfactory when the engiine is
hot, since the oil may become too
thin for proper lubrication. Usual-
ly, however, an engine that requires
a heavy oil in summer may use a
medium grade in winter. An engine
requiring a medium oil in summer
may have a light grade in winter-
' Cold air is also unfavorable to vap-
orization of gasoline. To conspen-
sate for the poor mixing qualities of
cold fuel it is necessary to provide
snore gasoline by opening the gaso-
line adjustment on the carburetor or
by pulling out checker. To ensure
sufficient air for combustion, chok-
ing should not be too continuous.
The same carburetor setting is of-
ten suitable for running at all sea-
sons of the year, though in winter
it may not be working at its greatest
efficiency until after the engine has
been running for some time. To
leave a carburetor opened to an un-
usual degree or to choke it continu-
ously after the engine is warmed up
is poor economy. Under either con-
dition more gasoline is consumed
than is necessary.
' Gages on the dashboard should
be carefully watched when driving.
A new fan belt should be checked
after driving a few hundred miles
and readjusted,
After the ear has passed a night
in a cold garage, care in starting of-
ten will save wear and tear on the
engine.
Grea'y rags, used for cleaning the
engine, are a serious fire hazard and
should he burned without delay.
Never leave them lying around the
garage.
Oil the springs of a car, but not
to an excess, Too much lubrication
may cause the springs to collapse
when the car strikes a chuck hole,
or an execs amount of spring action
may cause ehimmying.
