He caused inquir- ies as to the source of supply to be made and a report sent to the Home oince, Increased vigilance on the part of the police at the ports Will, it is hoped, cheek the renewed infiltration of supplies of cocaine into this coun- try, Scotland Yard officers are en= deavoring to trace the new centres of Its distribution in London, While no very' considerable amounts of "snow" are coming in in bulk there is a steady importation of small pack- ets, which are eagerly sought for by drug addicts. It is believed that the principal mar- ket for the circulation of cocaine exists at Cannes; and that it is being brought to this country by first-class passengers, who conceal it in belts worn under -the clothing. ; In London both men and women are engaged in distributing supplies, and it is • believed that the selling and handing over take place., secretly in some of the bettor -class night clubs, Certain dancing instructresses are sus- pected of acting as go-betweens, One aspect df the traffic is the rick of blackmail by the unscrupulous ven- dors of cocaine' to whichthe addicts expose themselves. Several cases have recently been brought to the no. tice of the police. ` Traffickers do not hesitate to pass off diluted cocaine upon their custom- ers. The latter, therefore, contract the habit of increasing the doses to furnish the requisite degree of stiniu- open to the danger of overdosing when lation. Thus they lay themselves an undiluted supply is received. Some of the mixture oifered.as real cocaine Is a compound of boracic acid and sugar -milk. Side by side with the increase in cocaine imports there is a growing trade in opium. Scotland Yard deter; tines who were keeping observation upon a suspected sus dump in the East End a few nights ago saw an un- expected incident—the arrival of an expensive car at the house of a Chinese near by and the cautious de- livery in the .darkness of a small par- 'eel. ar'cel. It was done rapidly in a few sec- onds, and before the officers could close upon the house the car had de- parted; nor 'could any trace be found of the package, Which is believed to bave contained ,opium. Chinese Smugglers. Small quantities of this drug are being smuggled through by Chinese seamen, who, knowing that special at- tention is paid to them, persuade ship- mates of other nationalities to carry the dope past the police at he dock. gates. Two important seizures of cocaine have already been made in London this year. In one case the drug was of Japanese manufacture and had been smuggled into England by a Lascar in a vessel arriving from the Far East. In the other, the ..cocaine was export- ed from Germany to Lithuania and smuggled 1$y a Lithuanian residing in London: These facts were made known re- cently in the British Government's an- nual report to the League of Nations on the subject of opium and danger- ous drugs. The report also mentions the seizure of 33 packets containing a email quantity of opium wrapped up' like chewing gum. Except where the owner could :not be traced, all the 6muggled opium was traced to Chin - Bee. Of the 60 persons against whom - proceedings were taken for the unlaw- ful possession of drugs, 49 were males, Including four doctors. -In all the 11 cases against-fe}nales the charge re- Iated to the possession of morphine. One doctor, one nurse, and two hos- pital matrons were involved. The report points out that no infor- mation has been received that any firm in Great Britain : has been en- gaged in smuggling drugs abroad, nor bave any seizlrres of, drugs of British manufacture been reported during the year. The import of raw opium dur- ing the twelve months under survey. was 17,042 lbs.,of morphine 663 lbs., and cocaine 1,282 lbs. More Maple Sugar Ottawa.—Official statistics show an Increase of nearly 4,000,000 pounds in. the production of maple sugar in Can- ada in 1928 compared with 1927. The estimated production for 1928 was 13,- 798,000 pounds valued at $2,269,686. Quebec is tho.principal maple sugar producing province in Canada, al- though rivalled closely by Ontario in the production of maple syrup.

This machine works like a disc harrow. It consists 01 a series of discs 20 to 24 inches in diameter attachodtto a frame carried on wheels. For ploughing the discs are set at an angle ,of about 30 de- green from the line' of travel, and throw the soil in one direction. The widths- of cut varies from 6 to 10 feet and the rate of travel depends on the power andspeed. of tho tractor and the depth of the cut.

A Glasgow man whose'business and private reputation would not have stood too much scrutiny ultimately found himself in the dock on a serious charge. But his lawyers played their parts so skillfully that the judge die - missed the case, telling the accused that he "left the dock without a stain on his character.' On leaving the building one of his cronies approached. him and remarked: "Mau, Jamie, did i you hoar what his lordship said about your character?

They wore no stockings, but the usher who tried to bar their entrance found him- self powerless, in view of their creden- tials, to do so. They remained throughout the session, and It is re- ported by cable'that the Council was plainly upset and that the members seemed abstracted. This will never do, If .the deliberte Dons of the League are to be brought to such a pass through the absence of stockings, then it would seem only proper to draft a protocol requiring all and sundry feminine visitors to wear stockings in addition to their or- dinary attire, at least while in the League chamhber or in the purlieus of the League offices. The fashion oP, going stockingless in the summertime was introduced in New York some years ago, and has gained somewhat in favor, though it is not likely ever to become evidespread,or popular, Af- ter all, it is merely a harking back to the practice of two thousand years ago and more. But since we have got used to stockings, whether sheer or otherwise, it appears . unwise to dis- turb our most responsible legislators of peace plans by distracting their at- tention from abstract problems by such practicul charms as the absence of stockings may reveal. -Montreal Star.
