Tress Toward 'Ways of
Curing Cattle Curse
New and important findings in re-
gard to the dread foot-and-mouth
disease are reported by -the I3auting
Research committee following two
years of exhaustive study. Results of
.e study are made*public in a pro-
gress report just issued by the com-
mittee, which may be summarized as
follows:
Per years the foot-and-mouth dis-
ease has been a source of betvildering
doss to cattlemen not only en this
continent but in Europe. Only a few
pears ago the British government car -
Tied on an extensive inquiry to deter-
mine causes and find curative or re-
strictive methods.
While making investigations it was
'discovered that a pecuiiar point about
the disease was the occurrence of its
characteristic lesions in the tongue
'and the pads of the feet of aneh ex-
'perirriental animals as guinea'pigs, no
matter where the virus was injected.
Experimental workers in Great Bri-
tain
riLain' came to the conclusion that if the
reason far this distriution of the lesion
'could a determined some light might
be thrown en the cause and cure of
the disease. The outstanding peculiar-
ity in their estimation was that the
hairy skin should be immune when the
ealdn ef the ales of the feet were dis-
eased,
'While Dr. E. G. Denting was visit-
ing England two years ago the facts
disclosed by the British inquiry were
,Draught to his attenton. On his re-
turn to Canada he thought of an ex-
perimental method which ,night result
in somo revelation on the peculiarities
tof the disease. Be interested Miss M.
Cowan, a tharoughts. trained research
'worker in the field of bacteriology, in
/the problem.
Miss . Cowan said that when tho
'hairy skin of guinea pigs was tram
formed to their feet Jesions continued
to develop in the hairy skin. By ar-
ranging thefloor of the animal cage
ee that the guinea pigs frequently
rubbed the upper surface of the foot,
she showed that lesions might occur
in the hairy part of the sick if it
were subjected to pressure. She pias
able to thew further that if a guinea
pig's foot was protected, from pressure
iisy' wrapping it in coston, lesions did
'not develop on the pretested skin. This
.proved that there was no special im-
runity of the, hairy skin but that the
lsions developed on the foot owing
*oft; use,
Prof. V B. Kende son, of the Bent-
ing Reaeareh committee, is of the opin-
lion that the findings of hiss Cowan
are of mueh valuer
"The findings made" by. Miss Cowan
are quite definite," he states. "In on
extension ef this work she was, able
to show that the virus was present in
Imany organs which did not show les
Cions. She was able to slsaw also that
'a foot pad, after the healing' of tine
lesion, appeared to .be triose; resistant
'thin a pad which had not been the site
' or base of a lesion. She found 'furt'her
that the foot pad did, not appear. 'to
;containany substance of the czaractev
of an antitoxin which; ,night eceousst
for this resistance."

The Silly ld Goose
By JACK MINER
Yes, I an trying to Sgtnre out who
the silly old goose le, for it took my
little single cylinder brain seven
years to outwit him, to catch him
and place a tag on his leg, but dur-
ing that timewhich was between
1916 and 1922, I did manage to catch,
tag and Ilberate one hundred and
nine, and sixty-nine of these are now
back in my possession, for yester-
day's snail brought one from New'
Brunswick This tag was put on -in
Aprid, 1921, and the goose was shot
last week by Mr, J. Simon Harper of
Miscou Harbor, New Brunswick.
In addition to having tho sixty-nine
tags returned, out of the one hundred
and nine, I.bave eight others of tisem
reported that the hunters failed to
return. But there can be no doubt
as to these eight reports being genur
ire, for: the hunters gave ms the ex-
actquotation that i put on the tag.
Therefore, we are compelled to be-
lieve that seventy-seven of these old
honkers have` been shot and gather-
ed by us hunters. .
To me, this does not only speak
well et my :tagging pystem, but it
speak :rinses for the e0-operation.02
the sportsmen of North, America.
But to me the beat and most live
fact of this (Silly. Old Goose) histol'y
is that. in April, 11323, we caught one
of these ono hundred and nine geese.
This one was tagged in 1918. Finding
this fact ons the worn tag this old
leader -had carried for ten years, we
then stamped another tag with the
year 1928, and, after carefully clamp-
ing it on his other leg, I took bum in
my arms' and praised him for his
noble .leadership, then bid him ; good
luck and good bye and tossed him
into the air. And -last spring, 1929,
this old' leader was back guarding his
family, and .hundreds of people saw
his two tags glittering on bus legs.

Skeletons Found Near Peiping
Thought to be Nearest

1,000,000, YEARS OLD
Relieved That Home of Dis-
tinct Type of Man. Has
Been Discovere
Peiping; • China. - Scient,ts have
hinted that ton skeletons ;unearthed
simultaneously with an unbroken.
skull Lound in, the quarries at Chow
Outien, 30 miles from here, may be
the nearest approach yet made to -find-
ing the ancestors -of the human race.
The skull was unearthed by a Chi-
hese geologist, who elairned it belonged
to a species of the famous "Peking.
Man,"" tlie„SinatiiropusPekinensist"'
said to be associated with, the period
of the Piltdown skull and the Java
ape man:
While the scientists who knew the
secret were sworn to secrecy, it was
urderst{iod here that they'regand the
discoreries as perhaps` the, greatest
human rind ever made. The skull, as
well as the ten skeletons, were said to
bo in a ;splendid state of preservation.
The scientists contented their search
in the hope of finding more skulls,
Nine of the skeletons were headless,
The discoveries were made in the
same limestone • quariea where the
"Monkey Man" saw teeth were found
in 1928, The location of the skeletons
was said to have 'Convinced the dis-
coverers that the ancient ]rouse of a
distinct • type of primitive man had
been uncovered.
It was understood that the scientists
believe that with the various skeletons
as web as the complete skull, they
have material enough to -reconstruct
the entire drama -of the life of the
prehistoric colony, or at least to sketch
a portrait of nsan as he existed in the
region of Peiping more than a million
years ago.
FOUND ANIMALS BONES.
In. addition to the human skull and
skeletons, the fossil skull of a rhin-
oceros has been found in the quarry
Also there were uncovered heaps of
bones believed to be those of other
animals, Many of the bones were
clearly broken, as if by human hands,.
possibly, :the scientists believe, by
hungry men seeking marrow as food:
The scientists 'were unable to ac-
count for the fact that ten scattered
skeletons were found, while but one
skull was located. One theory advanc-
ed was that the limestone bed might
have been a burial ground for persons
who had been beheaded, and that the
heads had been deposited somewhere
else.
The first trace of the "Peking Man"
was discovered in 1920 by Dr. A.
Zdansky, a Russian, who found a tooth
near the site 'where the latest discov-
eries have been reported, 4 second
tooth was found by Dr. Biger Bohlin,
a young Swedish scientist, and was
identified and nansed, by Dr, Davidson
Black, an American at Peiping Union
,Medical college:_
Dr. Black placed the "Peking Man"
on a stage of development between
the modern human and the anthropoid
apes. The time estimate of 1,000,000
yt.ars ago as the period in whicis the
"Peking Man" inhabited the district
was based on recent advances in geol
ogy whereby the earth's age and that
of its living ereatues is calculated at
fax higher !'inures than it was a few
years, ago. By that scale, the "Peking
Man" was believed to antedate the
Neanderthal man, and to be about
contemporaneous with the Heidelberg
than of Europe.
Dominion Status
Brisbane the Queenslander: When
the next Imperial Conference meets
in London, Canada is going to raise
a very difficult question by "trying"
to iron out of the existing laws things
inconsistent with Dominion "equality
of status." She takes up the position
that nes Parliament, within its sphere
as that of an autoinonous country
whose' "equality of status" has been
conceded, should have complete auth-
ority, and that its enactment should
not be subject to Imperial reserva-
tions. It is true at the present mo-
inent the British Government can dis-
alloty any Act of the Canadian Par-
liament, ... At the signing of,.the
Peace Treaty the overseas Dominions
signed as being' of equal status with
Britain itself, Fiom that moment
there could be no doubt about their.
status. Yet it is as Canada says ---the
Government in 'Britain, theoretically
at least, has the power to disallow any
Act passed by the Canadian Paelia-
nent. Theoretically only, because the
- ell -defined policy is now tine of ab-
solute non-initerferenae.: The overseas
self-governing Donnin:ons are left to
do prety much what they like:
