The British Censns
British census officials are already
getting ready to take the next
census in 1931. The figure, are
expected to show a marked increase
over 1921, when the last census Kgs t, r_
taken. The first British census, 1, 'e
taken in 1801 showed the population
to be 8,893,000. In 1921 the figure
was 37.887,000. One of the in-
teresting things revealed by the
last British census was the increase
hi the ratio of females to males.
anowavisemalemeace
The last general census showed there
were 95 more females to males per
thousand as compared with 57 in ;
1801. But it is expected that the
increased birth rate for males in
Britain will operate to reduce these
proportions somewhat when the
1981 census is taken.

FOREST FIRES
It is only a few years ago that
the forest fire was a very serious
and growing menanee to the econo-
mic welfare of Ontario. Indeed. the
red demon laid heavy toll on human
life as well. The acreage burned
over eaeh year often soared away
up into the millions. Even the resi-
dent of southern Ontario occasionally
could disdern a smoky haze over his
town which was the result of raging
forest fires in the northland. Dur'nt:
the past two or three years, how-
ever, little has been heard about
forest fires. The Department of
Forestry has won almost a complete
victory over the enemy whieh so
reemitly threatened our wealth.
Perhaps they m;t:=t important i7r'ter
in the remarkable sures of the
fire-fighters has h.•,:n th;, use of
the hydro -plane for detection of fires

that can he, adequately watched shy

forts of a good many rangers who
had to travel },y foot and canoe.
The fire having been detorted, it 1'
now a matter of hours instead of
days until actual operations can be
began of the emit to prevent its
spread. In 1923, river two million
acres of land Were burned over in
Ontario. In 1924 the Ontario Gov-
ernment Air Service was organized.
By 1027 the area burned over had
.boon reduced to 35,742 acres. This
year the record is not quite se good,
some 100,000 acres having been
burned. Of this total, however,
86,000 acres went up In smoke in
the Red Lake district, where present
conditions make the fire •hazard un-
usually high.
The figures speak for themselves.
Too much credit cannot he given to
the Department of Forestery for
its invaluable service to the province.

In Zululand, which is about as
largo as New Jersey, with a native
population twice:' that of Trenton, the

Zulus who live much the same as
Ildt• lighting ancestors, The family
kraals, consisting of cattle pelts sur-
rounded by thatched huts, still clot
the forests or Zululand, and the old
r18,! chiefs continue to rule with an
iron hand,

South Africa, but most of them now

For instance, the Zulu boy still

After marriage thn woman goes to

hunt oecttsionaliy and loafs most of
the time, 1Iis wife does the garden,
reaps the harvest, provides for the
family and attends to all domestic
duties in the kraal. If any one must
hire out the tribesman must get to
work. In the villages they are em-
ployed as cooks, housemen, washer -
men and messengers.
Often a tribesman has more than
one wife, but each of them is accord-
ed the same consideration and treat-
ment from the husband, Odd, but
true, they also live in harmony and
show great affection toward one an-
other. A tribesman with forty wives
might frequently be seen covering his
face as be passes clown a village
street. He must not look a mother-
in-law in the race, but avoid her as
graciously as possible. The wise
tribesman perhaps does not confine
his pursuit of wives to one village.
ROYALTY AND WHISKERS.
Saxon Rings Favored Beards, Nor-
mans Moustaches.
In wearing a beard Ring Gonrge
follows the example of his father,
who was the first bearded sovereign
for nearly 800 years, Charles I. was
the last king, prior to King Edward,
to wear a beard. When George III.
was on the throne no beard had been
seen 1n England within living
memory,
Like our present king, Charles I,
seems to have copied his father.
James L's beard, too, had been, in a
way-, rather a novelly, because his
three_ immediate predecessors had
been a boy and Iwo women,
All the Saxon 1 inns favored beards,
