various deficiency diseases. The Ex-

given careful study to the question
and useful conclusions have leen
reached as to the method of avoiding
this trouble. Foods have been sti l-

tents and rations have been prepared
from the direct evidence of the in-

meat f rah vegetables prey.ared ger•

seasons of the year upon the fur and
breeding qualities of the foxes. The
evidence obtain d, ac.•cording to til,
Superintendent's report, would in

tivity all forms of scurvy can be
guarded against if fresh vegetables
are fed daring the summer and fall
months, which insures au abundant
supply of the vitamins C. On the
other hand feeding the vitamine C. to
pregnant f m flees during the winter
months and gestation period, when
vegetation is dormant, has little value
in warding off infantile scurvy in new
pups if the diets have been clefic•dent
in the fresh vegtables dur-
ing the summer and fall months.
However, during the early growth of
there appears to be a large require-
ment of vitamine C. For this reason
foods containing this vitamine should
be liberally fed to the mothers dur-
ing the first few wee'.{,it of the lacta-
tion period. The most succresful sup-
plement containing this vitamine was
-found to -be lemon juice which wire
shown to he more potent and effici

tomatoes. Particularly in the feeding
tests the lessons gathered from the
habits of the foxes in the wild state
have been extensively used to con
firm the evidence obtained in the ex-
perimental work. Feeding the veg-

in aviation both governnient-

craft is now being manufactured
in the Dominion, and commercial
companies are doubling their flying
time year by year. The Canadiary Air

The fur industry' goods of
Canada is steadily increasing in im-

in 1927 early reaching $20,000,000
whereas it was only five and a half
millions in 1920. There are 233 es-
tablialtments engaged in this business,
representing a capital of 812,004,996,
an increase of almost a million dol-

item of manufacture in value is wo-

The registration of motor vehicles
in Canada, reached in 1928, the high
number of 1,458,100 or a car for
every 9 or 10 of population. These
figures are striking when it is recal-
led that it is only a few years ago
comparatively that the first car made
its appearance in the Dominion.ion. On-
tario leads with 482,000 ; Quebec
next with 148458 and Saskatchewan
third with 118,000. 2,698.737 for-
eign automobiles entered Canada in
1928 for a period not extending 24
hours, and 945,543 for '00 days.
These figures constitute a record
which is steadily increasing.

Native Boy Fooled Two German
Hunters.
Two German hunters in South Af-
rica were very keen to capture some
of the black, lone_tniied variety of
parakeets, whleh build their nests in
hollow trees. A native boy led the
hunters to a tree which he said sh:l-
tered the birds desired. Rising cau-
tiously, they peered into a hale in it
which the native had indicated. Sure
enough, there were the birds! They
mould even distineuish the black and
green sheen of their backs. The ori-
fice was hnmedla.eiv scaled up, and
the stemp sawn off near the root.
Congratulating themselves on their
lucky and, they Parried the stump to
their tent, and atter cioeing the door
tightly and pegging down the flaps,
that the bird thiel' not escape, they
set to gleefully to unseal the hole.
Instead of ala -k parakcats, the
tree-stnmp poured forth no fewer
than five young black mamhas
(snakes), which, endeaverintt to r ••
cape, contuse -need to dart about the
Gent like forked lightning.
There was nut time to open the
tent, but one of the Germans nose-
dived and, throating iiish.av ed head
through a narrow slate• between the
flap and the eaound, wriggled
through. The other, ]cess fortunate,
whipped out his hnr,ting knife, and
ripped a long slit in the side of the
ten', through which he thrust his
head, but his full waist stuck and his
violent efforts to torte a way through
brought down the tent.
When the mess was at last cleared
up, the mambas had vanished, and
the native also.

IS OLD INDUSTRY
Halibut Fishing in British Colum-
bia for 150 Years
Vanvovet', B. C. March 28.—
Although
3—Although British Columbia is little
more! than half a century old, the
halibut industry of the West Coast is
150 years old, according, to John W,
Nicholls, of Prince Rupert, promi
packer and authority on the halibut.
"Haiblut fishing is probably our
oldest industry,” said Mr, Nicholls.
"for there is evidence of it at the
dawn of the white man's era on the
Pacific Coast. Captain Cook's jour-
ney tells us of catching halibut in the -
Gulf Alaska in June, 1778, and
John Jewett, Chief Maquinna's fam-
ous captan, referred to the Pacific
halibut in 1803."
These dates belong to a period
when the west coat was a• primitive
wilderness inhabited only by Indians.
Even traders were scarce and the,age
of discovery was just beginning.
Commercial fishing, however did
not get under way until 1887. Eleven
years later a fleet of New England
fishing schooners came to these
waters, their owners hoping to cash
in on Klondike gold stampede. They
were disappointed in not obtaining a
cargo of gold, but on the way down
from north the men paid out halibut
hooks and lines and they found their
eldoraro not in the gold creek:: but in
the depths of the Pacific. Their har-
vest was rich indeed.
By 1907 the hali')ut industry had
a production of 26,000,000 -pounds
for the year's catch. Three years
later this total has been doubled.
Five years later the peak was reached
—(53,000,000 pounds and since then
the catches have dwindled. The hal-
ibut schooners etre obliged to seek
their prize further and further welt
and last year several ships fished as
far west as Sanak Island, near the
Aleutian archipelago.
Prince Rupert is Brithah Columbia's
•chief halibut port and it is there
that the fleets make their head
quarters.
