Others of ill fame but so scarce that their depredations would be insignificant ought to be permitted to live because of their beauty. Still others whose morals are all that could be desired should be protected and propagated. We have before us a paper read to the Brodie Club some time ago, in which the mice plague in California is described. It was a front page story at the time and alarmed a whole state. Lacking sufficient food to support their tremendous numbers the mice began a march across coun- try devouring as they went and leav- ing a wake of ruin comparable to that of locusts. The citizens turned out to combat them by digging trench- es in which poisoned grain was plac- ed. In one such trench, made in the path of the migrating mice, an aver- age of between fifteen and sixteen per linear foot were found the third day after the trench had .been open- ed. It was five miles long and about half a million mice were killed in it. A traveller reported that "at night on the highway the illumination from the headlights of one's car revealed hun- dreds of live mice at any given in- stant. Truly the number of mice was almost unbelievable and one who has not seen this or a similar outbreak can scarcely comprehend the vast numbers that can occur in a given area of limited extent. Certainly the numbers were to be reckoned in tens, and possibly in hundreds of millions." Subsequent investigations revealed the fact that one of the reasons for the migration was the comparative scarcity of predatory animals in the district where the mice multiplied. The increase in the number of mice had attracted a large number of hawks and owls that was normal and examination of the crops of these birds proved that they had done what they could to lower the mice popula- tion. It is argued, and we thing co- gently, that if all predatory birds and beasts were killed in this prov- No jumpy eeling NOW when I drive through tra c Nothing relieves tension so effectively as Wrigley's.

But one generra has this feat to his credit, and that is Manzo, who served under Obregon. Now it is reported that the Yaquis bold him in high esteem and are really to his cause.

Af- ter my lecture I allowed about fif- teen minutes for questions, because that always stimulates a meeting of minds. I had some very fine ques- tions, and then one of the men bowl- ed me over by asking, "Judge Hoyt, do you 'believe in education for chil- dren?" I was so Stunned for a mom- ent that all I said was, "Well, of course the jungle is very pleasant and I sometimes think it would be nice to 'be back there swinging from limb to limb, but as long as we have started civilization, it seems that we should see it through." I judge that the man meant higher education, but it seems to me that we are looking at the schools in too detached a manner. The work of ed- ucation cannot be left to specialists and experts. The whole country must join with enthusiasm, not alone in child training, but child saving. 1Viost important of all in this task is the home. There are several different kinds of homes. We have one that is akin to a prison and from Which a child es- capes as soon as he is able. There is the home which offers food and a refuge from the weather. Neither of these is ideal. We need to -day to return to the old-fashioned home of a century ago which bound together its members as the tribe was bound through the need of working together for the common good and the sym- pathy one with another which this operation inspired. iSuch a home takes o -n the quality of the temple. In a world tvhich stands out to -day as a disappointment, the old-fashioned home is our highest hope as the basis of a new world and the bulwark of democracy. The parents of our children are guilty of many sins of omission.

In the past few years it did seem that Mexico was making progress towards what we understand by orderly gov- ernment. Nothing is more natural fou us that to vote a government out of office and vote another one in. Noth- ing, apparently, is more unnatural in Mexico, and if we understand some- thing of the political history of the country, we shall not expect the Mexicans in a few years or even de- cades, to abandon habits and passions which have been confirmed and un- checked for centuries. The impulse of the ordinary Canadian when he feels himself the victim of injustice, is to write a letter to a newspaper, consult a lawyer or vote against somebody. The impulse of the ord- inary Mexican is to take down his rifle, saddle his horse, and start out to slay his enemy. If the enemy hap- pens to be the government, then the first natural victim will be a police- mam or a soldier. When enough Mex- icans feel this way about anything they start a revolution and perhaps o erturn the government. It was a Mexican himself who wrote in 1916: "Of the seventy-two govern- ments that have assaulted the public power since independence, fifty-five have been heldby military men. Of these seventy-tvvo, only twelve have had legal origin . . . a frightful national anarchy, a succession of crude despotisms cloaked in a toga of republicanism." There have been several governments since then but this estimate is not invalidated there- by; it is merely rortified. The na- te:1,nel origins of the 5'Lexican people must be remembered. Nine -tenths of them are part or wholly Indian with absolutely no traditions of civil gov- ernment. Nor has the Spanish ele- ment in the population mrch aptitude for Anglo-Saxon political methods. Both Indian and Spaniard understand a strong central government based upon military euthority, but the no- tion that a 'ballot might have the validity of a rifle is foreign to both of them. How important a part the religious question plays in the present upris- ing is matter for speculation. Some of the revolting generals, if not all of them are making a strong play to those who wish the Roman Catholic church to be restored to at least some- thing like its former authority. We hear proclamations about religious liberty, and we do not doubt that when the whole truth emerges the priests will be found fighting for what they believe is of more import- ance than their own lives, namely, the claims of the church to which they belong. When Gen. Obregon was assassinated last July, President Cal - les did everything in his power to fasten the crime upon the Roman Catholic church. Several priest and a nun were arrested, as accessories to Toral, the actual murderer: Calles may have raised this hue and cry to turn attention frown his friend Mor - ones, leader of the labor faction, and one of the strongest men in the coun- try. Some months before the shoot- ing, 'M'orones had made a speeeh which Obregon's friends held to be sufficiently inflammatory to drive a youth like Toral to murder. But Calks turned the whole investigation over to Obregon's friends in an ef- fort to prove that he was not shield- ing anybody. Then there is to be borne in mind the fact that an election is not far off in Mexico. Portes Gil is merely a president pro tem. He was not chosen at any national election but selected by the chasber. President Gil is known to be a friend of Mor - ones and the candidate of Calles. He was chosen in preference to two or three other candidates who were l000wn to be Obregan's friends, and pen. 5.51 6.04 6.18 6.23 6.22 (165) 6.52 7.12 7.21 7.33 7.55 tmainep gonflue‘ Yr mktow4-140 Aud ebilol de- liberately a laWbeeiaker, BEe et ply lost 'himself in the MOW' Of a man- made eivilimatiou which taitoo no ac- count c yontlea desire to bmve an ac- tive share in the life of his commUre ity.

The, child who is in the wrong line of education, whose home is inharmonious, or who is dis- couraged because he is set at tasks beyond his power Boon comes to the parting of the ways. The average youngster is amazingly vital mental- ly and spiritually awake. All we need to do to fit him to take his part as a citizen of to -morrow is to pre- serve and direct this alertness. Here is something for the home of to -day to think about. Out of which material are we going to create our future citizenship and build the city and state triumphant? The choice is ours to make, and we all share a common responsibility in Geeing that our children are taught to reverence and to fight for those ideals which we justly regard as the cornerstone of our beloved country. 411 wreak their punishment in beginning lives, these criminal -wrongs can be righted by court action. More elu- sive are the negative sins against childhood for which it is difficult to find a proper solution or enforce ac- tion that will be appropriate. These minor evasions of parental duty in the long run have an even more dis- astrous effect upon children's lives than the vicious 'crimes. Parents are not deliberately inefficient in the bringing up of their children. They are in the main ignorant, and they seem to be 'unable to appreciate the meaning of their duties and privileg- es in having given life to those ten- der little ones. They must protect boy e and girls from dangerous companions and the early knowledge of evil which may come through unsupervised play life, in the streets. They must not think that sending children to school is ed- ucating them, but should have a share in that education endeavoring to un- derstand its goals and find out if it is the right training for their par- ticular child. All teachers need to combat the tendency to -remove chil- dren from school in order to put them to work and swell the family income. This idea of the child as a prospec- tive money-maker for his parents is more prevalent than we realize in America. Next, and this touches the most intelligent of our homes, is the inability to diagnose behavior prob- lems in terms of physical cause. Fre- quently the delinquent child is suffer- ing from a pathologic condition and adequate medical treatment or hos- pitel care will transform him. A last and potent menace to the mental health of the American child is the lack of harmony between his father and mother. It frequently happens that the cases referred to the Chil- dren's Court come from homes in which the law has been called upon to regulate the actions of the parents. A child quickly absorbs an atmos- phere of discord that patterns and de - ince we might be in danger of some such plague as that which afflicted part of California. Hawks and owls prey op mice and rats, and it is in- geniously suggested that besides keeping these pests in check their depredations help to keep up the strength of more desirable wild crea- tures by devouring the sickly and weaker memberSl of peciee which naturally more easily become their prey. We are indebted to the Royal Ontario museum for some facts about the habits of different predatory birds which follow. The turkey vulture which occurs regularly in the extreme southwestern counties of the province subsists al- most entirely upon carrion and there- fore is beneficial. The bald eagle, now rather rare, feeds largely on dead fish. The sharp -shinned hawk is fairly numerous and feeds upon smaller birds and poultry. Obviously it should be kept in check if not destroyed on every opportunity. Cooper's hawk has the same habit but being larger and stronger can work greater destruction among game and poultry. The gos- hawk is also destructive but only comes into the province periodically. The red-tailed hawk is not as common, as formerly, which is a pity as it feeds largely upon mice and insects. The red -shouldered hawk has much the same habits and is becoming scarce. The broad -winged hawk seen commonly in the northern woods in summer feeds largely on insects and rodents. The marsh hawk eats mice but also smaller birds, and is not wholly deserving. The osprey feeds entirely upon fish most of which are of no commercial value. The sparrow hawk, which is per- haps the commonest hawk in the prova ince, is beneficial since it feeds large - upon insects, but also takes mice. The barn owl feeds exclusively upon mice and the same applies to the long- eared owl. The short -eared owl eats mice but sometimes takes small birds and thus is of mixed virtues. The bar- red owl, which is not uncommon, feeds on mice, insects and frogs. The saw - whet owl eats mice and shrews. The screech owl feeds chiefly upon mice but eats also insects and smaller birds. The horned owl is almost hu- man, being neither good nor bad. It eats all kinds of birds and whatever animals it can carry away. Since skunks sometimes figure on its bill of fare, its power of beak, claw and wing may be inferred.

It can, 'however, make a con- siderable hole in the profits of the keekeeper. To realize why American Foulbrood is dangerous, one should know some- thing of its origin. It is caused by a germ or organism called Bacillus larvae which infects only the young, of bees. This organism is very in- sidious in its action, for unknown to the beekeeper it may get a good start in a colony before there is any perceptible evidence of its presence. Again, it may live in a dormant state in unused material for years, and at the first favorable opportunity spring into activity arid do much damage. The great danger of this disease is that it is so easily spread. This may be done in a number of ways. First there is the robber bee. When nectar is scarce, bees will steal from one another and it is the weak in- fected colony that is usually the first plundered. In this way, the disease may be spread over a large territory. Once infected, the strongest colony will be destroyed by this disease un- less man intervenes. When the bee- keeper becomes aware of its presefice and attempts to treat the colony, he runs great riek, for often his efforts to save the colony do more harm than good and result in infecting other colonies in the vicinity. He would do far better to destroy the infected col- ony by fire and thus safeguard the clean ones. Then there is a further danger from infected material.

Now Canes cannot again be president, be- cause of a law forbidding re-election, but Calles' enemies declare that he is violating the law of Mexico which forbids the immediate re-election of a president in spirit when he brings forth candidates pledged to carry out his politics.
