Deer in Kaibab Forest Deer in the Kaibab National For- est of Arizona have become so num- erous umerous under the protective hand of the United States Department of Agriculture teat they damage young. trees and forage plants. After con- sidering the situation last .year the Department of Agriculture, the Na- tional Park Service and the State of Arizona agreed that it was necessary to reduce the number of :leer sub- stantially to protect forest growth and allow the range to recover suf- ficiently to support the remaining deer in better condition. During a period of supervised hunting 3,761 deer were taken, 2,060 of which were does.' Nearly 300 other deer were trapped and shipped alive for stock- ing public parks and game refuges.. Even this "thinning" has been con- sidered insufficient to permit satis- factory recovery of the shrubs upon which deer depend chiefly for food. • Herbert Holt, referred to the world- wide depression, cited credit .condi- tions as the chief contributing -factor and reviewed developments in and prospects for Canadian industries. He said that while the results of the Imperial,Conference ere, naturally‘dis appointing to the overseas „Dominions, it was too much to expect that a ready- mc.de proposal would he acceptable to Great Britain. Hee trade with the out- side world is relatively much more im- portant to her ' r - is the case with the Dominions, but proposals.. put for- ward by the Canadian delegates in- volved a principle rather than a plan and this principle is one which should command serious consideration. It is hoped that preliminary discussions be- fore the wopoeed conferenee`atOtta- wa will Lead to a common basis of agreement at that time. Sir Herbert dealt' with the principal industries of Canadr, making number of constructive suggestions. He strong- ly advocated that the west should be less dependent on the production of grain, substituting mixed farming. He approved, of the seggested formation of an agricultural credit corporation to, assist the 'farmers to purchase cattle, sheep and hogs. He advocated the increased use of fertilizer as a mens of ensuring more stable results, pointing out that expert - hunts have demonstrated that fertiliz- ers•properly used wi-1 increase the yield of wheat by eight to ten bushels per acr.r. The development of the Cana- dian livestock industry has not kept Pace with general', increase in produc- 1 tion and we are actually importing large athounts of butter and meat, In the meantime our exports of animal products a have steadily decreased. to 1110 opinion etatistics clearly point to as. opportunity for greater profit by 'diversification. Inco. elusion, Sir Herbert said: "The i stability of our great industries and the' strength of our financial institutions during the past year constitute a re-. cord which we may view with pride. It 1 is this stability which is the basis for my optimism concerning the future." n and Neill, Mr. C. E. Vice -Pres: t de Managing Director of the bank, con- fined his remarks to a discussion of the world depression and the relation of the price level to gold supplies and cen- tral bank policy. He pointed out that only the return of normal international financial relations would end the pre- sent depression and advocated a con- ference of the leading financial powers to formulate a plan to apply the necessary corrective measures. The General Manager, My. M. W. Wilson,: referred to the satisfactory manner in whieh the Canadian charter- ed banks have taken care' of financial requirements in Canada during a diffi- cult year, as clearly demonstrating that the Canadian. banking system is ade- quate to the needs of the country in times of stressas well as under nor- mal conditions. Even Modern Girl Shoud Learn to Sew Start Teaching Children As Early As Possible the Art . •of '":Sewing a Fine Seam" in a recant edition at "The 'Christian .Science Monitor" Marion Broomfield gives some interesting tips to moth- ers .of the modern generation. Here are some excerpts from this interest- ing article: An aecomplisbment•useful to a girl through life is to know how "to sew a fine seam.' She may:not keep house, but wherever she lives, even a few stitches are an asset le her appearance and a saving to her po ;1.etbook. Even if she should buy her clothing ready- made, there are always a few.stitches to be taken, whether they ,re altera- tions. or repairs. .There is always the beauty it hand work, and the practical art of mending. Table linen and gifts need the hand touch. But teaching the little girl to sew sometimes takes patience. There are, in feet, modern mothers who exclaim, "Oh, Betty will learn to saw at school, so why should I bother?" But teach- ing sewing is planting the seed of do- mesticity, and this cannot be taught too early. A girl unconsciously' learns the quiet pleasure of the peace Pos- sible in home making. Further, sew- ing is an anti. to for those hours of "What shall 1 do, Mothc: One mother who realized that she was not as patient ad an outsider, started two little slaters of 7 and 9 with embroidery lessons, one summer vacation. Now some might say, "Why not earn a few practical stitelem, first?" But the idea and its reason were ex.ellent, for these children through their love of beauty and color learned to sit quietly a• d execute fine stitches. What might have been a tedious task when stitched with thread into cotton cloth, was fascinat- ing with rose embroidery floss; She leeds a hirable The first article to give the little girl is a thimble. An aluminum c re Too Healthy The astute estate agent was show - lug a client over a-neevly built :rouse. "You will never regret having the house, sir,' he said. "This is the most wonderful air in the country. No- body is ever ill.' He paused and fished in his pocket for a fountain -pen. "Will you sign the agreement, sir?" he add- ed. The client shook his head. "Never mind. the pen," he said. "I've changed my mind I'm a doctor," "Aro you sure, wrote the, parent to the headmaster, 'that my boy will ac- quire good manners while 110 1s with You?" "Madam," was the reply, "your son has every chance e Itn vs. At pre- sent he has no menials at ail—only customs." Restless CHILDREN CHILDCHILDREN will fret, often for no REN reason. Eat there's al- ways Gastoriat llarmlees as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a youngster more surely than a more powerful .medicine. That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. 'Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable prepara- tion is usually all that's needed. C• AS, ....t3T R !

But for comfortable use, it must be small enzugh to fit. ilIany little girls discard thim Les simply because they area wabb. •ruisance. Basting lathe easiest stitch to learn firet, and a medians width hem easiest for, small hands to manage at the be- ginning. Handkerchief skirt hems are so narrow and so deep respective- ly; that they are a trial. Instead an inch hem on a bureau scar' or stringer is easier, and rather. coarse ,material .like crash'is better for the beginner's sticky little '.needle. strawberry emery is first aid of 'course to a sticky needle and part of a sewing outfit. Soft materials 'like voile and muslin are .easy for the beginner's needle. The stiff cambric of au: grandmoth- er's day is a trial far faultless stitches. Dimity is rather a good material to work with, for this will be stiff enough to crease, and yet be pliable to the needle. Seaming Before Hemming Running a seam nicely comes really before hemming. 11 the seam is care- fully basted with contrasting thread, a little girl will not have much trouble keeping the final running stitches on the straight line of the. aeam, Fifty thread is usually about right, as finer thread breaks too easily. Mercerized thread is especially smooth to use. Another way to learn to make small straight stitches, as the next step, af- ter basting, is to sew trimming on some article. Rickrack braid, tape or bias binding is excellent for this purpose, for results are fairly quick and little girls must not be discour- aged by too long a stitch. A little apron of unbleached cotton or gay crepe (soft to sew) is quickly finished by being bound around with the bias binding. Both basting and running stitches are learned this way. And the bias tape comes in a great va- riety of pretty colors. Doll clothes, curtains, breakfast cloths and even bedspreads can be trimmed with it. Hemming should be practiced on cotton, silk 'and wool. And it is bet- ter for a little girl to try for 10 even stitches every day, than to sit at length and make crooked ones because of fatigue. Overcasting DoH Clothes. Overcasting may be practiced on the seams of doll clothes. And it is surprising how young girls can be taught a French seam. Girls as old as 12 enjoy making lingerie for them- selves, and French seaming it—espe- cially if a little embroidery, such as an initial, is part of it. Buttonhole stitch is much more interesting to learn, if taught first as embroidery, instead of as stitches around a troublesome buttonhole. A. guest towel or collar is nice to scallop with buttonhole stitch '/a .inch deep.' To pad the scallops, teach the little girl to run a few stitches first along the scallops for several .rows. An. other easy way to teach buttonhole stitch is to let the beginner learn the simple. blanket stitch first, A doll blanket can be edged this way with wool yarn and a darning needle. In general coarse materials and needles Vet easiestfor little girls at first, Even featherstitching, wbich most children delight in, is easily done with yarn and a big needle. Striped ma- terial is useful again here to "branch" the featherstitching from as a guide line, Gift Making. • Gift making offers a decided in- centive to -learning stitches. Thus a bib for baby brother made one little girl patiently learn "back" or outline stitcbes.

Even if the week Is clumsy, or the material spolled, what -is' that, if a girl- is 'en eouraged tb be feminine' and interested in beautifying a home? The practical art of mending can be made pleasant, too, It Is even worth while to pay a girl of 10 a nickel for every neat darn she puts in the family socks each week, or at feast a sliding. scale payment fromone penny up, ac- cording to the size of holes. See that she has a pretty celluloid egg to darn over, and cotton to match the bosiery. A good way to teacb the sewing on' of buttons is to trim some frock with them. Then the task 'becomes decora- tive. Another scheme is to put 1 girl; on her mettle to keep Dad's buttons' sewed on. , To Learn to Patch. I. Repairing rents and patching is ail• Omit even for adults. But an interest ing way to teach patching is to let a little girl "applique" crepe fruit flat on some, more crepe of contrasting color. In otherwords teach the idea, with pretty materials and decorative effects Three -cornered rents that mustbe c darned and pressed should probably be taught on old materials, then the child does not worry if the first effort isnot a complete success. Explain that tbe stitclees are merely like darning stock- ings, only the surface is flat instead of convex. But also show youngsters how useful ravelings ace in making tbe darn inconspicuous. Sewing rips is one of the first steps in mending, for children learn to elon. keep their clothes .in order this way: The adage "a stitch in time saves nine" can be readily illustrated by showing them how to check chain stitch'rur A i in a glove le not too 11-105.

And in teaching sowing it may be held out that eachyear a new stitch will be ,learned. The result will be that a girl will be able to put In hat liuings, sew on simple 'trimmings and be ready to follow a dress pattern. Attractive Outfit. A final encouragement to learning to saw is an atractive outfit. A large pretty box is often available, and. really practical, for when the lid is lifted, all the sewing tools are ready at hand. A rood plan is to have the tools fastened with elastic inside the lid, as this leaves space for the cloth in the box below. Keeping sewing. fresh and daint, is thus encouraged. Some girls enjoy a bag, so they may carry them when they visit. Cretonne with a round or, square bottom so material will not be :umpled, makes a useful bag. Then a basket open or closed is nice. The great thing is to have a thimble, pair of scissors and emery, all in place, as well as a rule or tape measure so that they can I instantly found. Spools of thread, a paper of pins and a needle book are also necessary. Many f these items can be bought at 10 -cent stores, and can be added •a few at a time, as a reward for learning certain stitches. Nerves Out of Gear Need New, Rich Blood to Restore Their Tone. Men and women with nerves out of gear become irritable, fretful and ill- tempered, The fault Is not theirs— poor health is the cause. The tired wife or mother whose household duties have worn her out; the bread -winner whose anxiety for his family have wor- ried him until he was 111, are the ones who become run down. Their diges- tion becomes bad and their nerves 111 - fed. The nerves like all bodily organs need healthy .red blood and that red blood can best be gained through a course of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make rich, red blood; improve digestion; strengthen the tired nerves and bring energy and happiness not only to the sufferer but to those around him.

Rare Bird Returns to England Two events of great interest to na- ture -lovers have recently been report- ed. The first is the appearance in London of that rare bird, the little atik. Driven by stress of weather, it alighted, of all places, on the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens, Gulls attacked it, but it was rescued, only to die in the zoo a few days later. The other event was the reappear- ance of the Golden Eagle in the Lake District, where it was exterminated a century ago.

That this bird be brought to the Province is a recommendation by the Manitoba game commission. The birds are found In Estonia, where the climate is somewhat similar to that of Manitoba There are sup- posed to be none of these birds any- where on the continent. The government proposes to bring 100 pairs .of Hungarian partridges from Alberta this month, and more later, to the total number of 300 pairs.

Nature's Lesson, "I could not reconcile. complete ex- tinction in death with the eternal economy of nature.—Guglielmo Mari coni, inventor. Flowers and Rooms London.—"It does not geem to Mat- ter how many flowers I buy for this room, It never looks as though there were enough. They don't make any show." • "I can explain it," said the visitor; "indeed, I saw from the first that' the room would be a bad background for flowers. The carpet is wrong. A1- though the center is• beige, an excel- lent color, there is too much solid rose pink and blue in the border, With color spread rather heavily in patches; all over the floor like that, the light. and delicate coloring 10 a bunch of flow*.; is more or less submerged." From this the talk developed into a discussion on the importance, in de- ciding the color scheme of a room, to see that it is .something that will not detract from the beauty of flowers but will form a good background for them. If a room is so arranged that the. dowers dominate it, it is passible to give a sense of constant. change and variety simply by arranging in dis- tinetive vase§ skillfully 'chosen and well-placed 'blossoms. Flowers, both growing and as house decoration, are to -clay being more and more appreciated. The great popu- larity of beige, pale yellow, stone, and grays for walls is an almost instinc- tive recognition that all of these are shades against which practically any colored flower looks lovely. The har- mony of a pot of scarlet field poppies backed by a cream -colored wall will never be forgotten. Even white flow- ers contrast delightfully with this warm, deep creamy yellow, But with regard to carpets, how few people when choosing them have the claims Of flowers in thought? As with walls, most plain -colored carpets are safe from this point of .view. The Persian type of design, which is so intricate and small as to give a gen- eral all-over effect with no particular color predominating, always produces an unobtrusive sense of harmony. In a room with a wall paper having a decided pattern that does not set off flowers, it is a good plan to hang up a width of parchment brocade, mounted at the top on a strip of oak or mahogany molding. This may be placed either in a recess or in the center of a wall, wits a Nide table in front of it, on which Dn.; he placed a jar of beautiful flowers. Tats is a use- ful hint for the woman who cannot af- ford at the moment to have her walls papered. Too many ornaments in a mom al- ways detract from the effect of flow- ers, as do too great a number of pic- tures—for flowers should never be placed so that they cut across pic- tures. Flowers generally look de?,:fitful in a room wit% chairs savered in floral cretonnee. Snell a room often gives the appearance of out-of-doors, the real blooms and the woven ones com- bining to impart a sense of the aims - dance and variety of a herbaceous border in an Old -World garden.—The Christian Science Monitor.
