. One of the, bits of information
that come from investigators is
that narcotic addicts in Canada
are mostly in the ages from
twenty-five to twenty-nine years.
Twenty-five when they become ad-
dicts and twenty-nine, presumably,
when they die. A short. life and
. not. a particularly merry
British Columbia, it seems, has
more than one-half of the known
addict t in Canada, probably be-
cause it is most easily reached'
from the Orient, Ontario has the
second largest number, and some
of the Provinces have hardly any.
Canada -is- sending a team- of
four agricultural 'specialists to the
Far East to give the benefit -of
their knowledge and experience
. la the development of agriculture
in countries where farming prac-
tice is still in a very crude stage.
These four experts will spend
three- months in India, Pakistan
five years to reveal what will be
the result of depriving the bee
of its only natural means of de-
fence. One of the writer's early
recollections is that of his first
encounter with a bee. In those
days there used to be on the
"commons" and on vacant lots a
species of thistle with a conspicu-
ous deep pink blossom. The
youngster was attracted by one
of these blossoms and proceeded
to investigate it, when he received
a sting from a. bumblebee thatt
had got there first. Ever since
he has had a hearty respect for
the bees, and though he likes to
see them around in summertiml
he sides not invite close acquaint-
ance. The question now is, what
will become of the little fellows
if they cannot repel the advances
of bigger creatures? Time will
tell.

McAree in The Globe and Mail
speculates upon the fact that while
there is only one former Prime
Minister of Canada still living—
Mr. Meighen — there were until
recently an imposing number of
;undying ex -Premiers of Ontario
—Drury, Ilenry4 Nixon, Kennedy,
Drew, Conant and Hepburn, the
'ast two now deceased. He draws
the conclusion tat success in the
'rovincial 'field comes ' to men
more easily than in the Federal
field; that they become Premiers
at a comparatively early age and
therefore live longer than their
Ottawa contemporaries who reach
the top later in life. We doubt
if this conclusion is altogether cor-
rect. if success comes more 'easily
