New Breed of Sheep
The successful crossing of a limit-
ed stock of Russian =racial sheep,
from which fashionable furs are ob-
tained, with other more common
breeds is reported by United States
"agriculture Department experts. As
a result, they said, farmers soon may
produce considerable broadtail, Per -
elan lamb and caracul fur. Impor-
tations of the three mounted to
about $3,000,000 in the last five
years. --Montreal Star.

A New Idea
Czecho-Slovalcian authorities have
an idea of their own about promot-
ing traffic safety. "Directions for
finding the nearest doctor are being
added to all permanent traffic signs
near dangerous curves and traffic in-
tersections" in that country, reports
an American commercial attache
from Prague,—Brandon Sun.
19irra Those Headlights!
If only one out of three motorists
are courteous enough to dim their
headlights when approaching an-
other car, it is high time the other
two-thirds were made to realize the
error of their ways. An Edmonton
- motorist. struck by the number of
night traffic accidents blamed on
glaring headlights, made four 80 -
mile trips at night over highways
around this city. ale found on one
drive that one-third of the drivere
he met dimmed their lights volun-
tarily or in response to a "wig -wag"
signal. On the otheil three drives,
the proportion of courteous drivers
was even less. ---Edmonton Journal.
Here!
The Union of Soviet Republics, or
shorter, Russia, is a country of im-
mense size and potentialities. It
stretches from Poland to Behring
Strait. It occupies a seventh of the
land surface of the earth. A speaker
in Halifax in order to make his audi-
ence appreciate its great extent,
once said: "We sitting here in this
room today are nearer Moscow than
a Soviet citizen at the other end of
Russia, say Vladivostok." Which
statement is exactly true as anyone
may ascertain by consulting the dis-
tances in a map.—Halifax Chronicle.
Colonies Are Expensive
Judging from the demands of cer-
tain countries for colonies, the im-
pression is given that such terri-
tories are sources of wealth, but
that has not been the experience of
the great holders of colonies. In-
deed, according to figures compiled
to the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace. Germany and
Italy have spent far more than their
total colonial trade on their colonies,
instead of showing a profit. Japan
also has spent far more on her col -
cities than she received. Britain and
France also spend more on colonies
than they collect. The tact is that
more often than nut, colonies pro-
duce deficit rather than surpluses.—

THE EMPIRE
Empire Migration
It is more than 20 years ago since
the steady and uninterrupted flow of
migration frona Great Britain 'to the
Dominions and Colonies ceased to be
a regular, feature of the Empire's
corporate life. It is true that vari-
ous specialized efforts have been
made in the meantime—in South
Africa, for example, by the 1820
Memorial Settlers' Association —
with varying -degrees a success, to
establish British emigrants in the
Commonwealth overseas. But unless.
what we have termed "the steady un-
interrupted flow of migration" from
Great Britain can be resumed and
maintained on the old pre -War level,'
nothing is more certain than that
some of the outstanding qualities of
the British race will be lost for ever,
both in Britain itself and in the Do-
minions, Colonies and dependencies.
--Johannesburg Times.
Submarine Safeguards
Italy a:nd France have joined Brit-
ain, United States and Japan in
humanizing submarine warfare by
undertaking that before an enemy
merchant ship is sunk, its crew, pas-
sengers and papers must be put in a
place of safety, and open boats are
not to be so regarded unless near a
shore or a rescue ship. Unfortunate-
ly these arrangements do not seem
to stand up under actual test.— The

Unveiling of Mrs. Simpson's fig-
ure a week after work was started
on her wax likeness established a
Tussaed record. The waxworks ex-
perts, using measurements obtained
from Worth, the Paris dressmaker of
Mrs. Simpson, and hundreds of pho-
tographs, had four modellers work
seven nine -hour days.
The head was modelled by Ber-
nard Tussaud ,great-grandson of the
founder of the museum, and the
man responsible for its. restoration
after a million dollar fire in 1925.
Mrs. Simpson's figure is clothed in
an • evening gown of scarlet satin,
made especially by her Paris dress -
house. The gown is high -necked,
sleeveless and backless.

T h e late Commanded Edward
Breek, who founded the United .
States Anti -Steel Trap League, de-
fined the steel trap as follows: "It
h, an instrument of torture, which
does not kill ass once, but 'tenses•
long-drawn-out agony. It is the most•
awful horror in the history of the
world." Commander Breck spoke -
from personal knowledge, since he •- •
was once a trapper but was so nau- ••
seated by the horrors of the steel
trap that he became a great adeo-
cate of its abolition. Further em-
phasis on the inhumanity of tha •
present methods of trapping is given
•
by Prof. Arthur Stevenson, of To-
ronto, who describes the steel pole
trap as possibly the most inhumane
ever conceived. By this method of
catching an animal, a steel trap is
attached to the branch of the tree,
and the branch fastened to • the •
ground. When the animal walks into
the trap, releasing it, the victim is
left suspended by the paws in mid-
air, sometimes for days at a tirne.
It is proposed that the inhumane
steel trap shall be replaced by one
that kills instantly or by the box
trap. Prof. Stevenson said the box
trap was considered humane when
visited frequently so that the trap-
ped animal did not starve. The steel
trap should have no place in this
age of boasted humanity.. Public
opinion should, heartily support the ••
stove to have it abolished, Claurches, •
which should be rigidly opposed to •
cruelty of any kind, and all other or •a
ganizations that enter into the life
of a community should get behind
the Canadian Association for the
Protection of Fur Bearers in its ef-
forts to relegate the steel trap to the
limbo of the thumb screw and the
rack.

-dinfr, Sportsman! Do you thrill to
szg of,_a fighting fish on the line?
s herror-veeeo ii -bass
or something as large as a cow? If
so, let us talk it over a bit.
Down in Nova Scotia the big -game
fish is • the Tuna. There, every year
they harpoon them weighing as high
as three-quarters of a ton. No other
sea fish possesses more spunk and
fighting spirit than this living thun-
derbolt of stream -lined fighting fish.
The capture of a 792 -pound Tuna
in 62 hours of continuous struggle in
1934 was the longest battle known.
The files tell us that Michael Lei•
ner, of New York, holds the record
for quick kills in Nova Scotia waters
He caught 21 tuna fish for eight days
in' 1935, the largest, a 450 -pounder,
was boated in 46 minutes and the
smallest, OF lbs. in 3Y2 minutes.
You all know of the famous Doi el
ist, Zane Grey, maybe so, but, did
you know too, that in 1924 he augh*
a 758 pound Tuna, that remained a
world record for rod and inc angl-
ing until 1933 .when Michell Henry
captured one 857 pounds? It vas
Thomas Howell, of Chicago, who
captured the largest Tuna ever taken
on rod and line. The giant fish tip-
ped the scales at 956 pounds.
The heart of the Tuna is consider-
ed a very great delicacy, and is said
to be nearly as big as a basketsbalL

Danish Settlers
The Danes apparently seek wide-
open spaces where their industrious
people may find opportunities not
now apparent in their small territory
at home.
At least the consul general for
Denmark was in Western Australia
during the first two weeks of Octo-
ber examining the possibility of
group 'eettlement areas being taken
over by Danish immigrants. In Den-
mark, he said, a special government
department concerned with emigra-
tion had asked Danish diplomatic
and consular representatives to study
the immigration position in the
countries in which they lived. The
farms on the group settlements, he
said, were good if worked properly,
and would be satisfactory if the con-
ditions offered by ,the government
were such that they could be profit-
ably taken over for dairying by the
Danes.—Brandon Sun.
