B'ROWNLEE OF ALBERTA
is Concerned With Improving Con-
ditions th the Province --A
Political Enigma.
In many ways Premier J. E.
Brownlee of Alberta is the enigma of
Canadian politics, say's an article in
the Toronto Star Weekly.
Where outer public mon reach the
people ahnost daily through the col-
uznns of ,the newspapers, aver the
radio, or from public platforms,.
Brownlee is almost as little known
to -day as eight years ago when he
can forward, seemingly out of ob-
scurity, to take, as by right, the
attorney -generalship of his' province,
and four years later the premiership,
And in.succeeding years, while he
has carried his party successfully
through one general election and has
delivered speeches in many parts of
his province, his personality remains
undisclosed to the masses. Brownlee
on the platform or being interviewed
Is the public man, .exceedingly well
informed upon all matters of public
business, .dignified, courteous but
with a certain impenetrability that
masks his inner self.
Only occasionally does Brownlee
break into print and always it is the
result of an important announce-
ment: a worth -while achievement. A
few weeks ago he brought to a suc-
cessful termination eight years of ne-
gotiation in regard to the return to
Alberta of her natural resources. He
reached Ottawa unheralded, met Pre-
mier King without blare of trumpets,
and was on his way home almost be-
,
.fore the newspaper correspondents
were aware of his presence in the
capital.
Throughout his life he bas been
always the same. Brownlee loves to
dome east to Ontario. St is his native
province and Toronto is his own city.
Born and reared near Sarnia, he was
educated at Varsity, graduating in
law. lie is married •to a Toronto girl.
Early years of law practice in the
west saw him definitely allied to the
farmers' movement. He became soli-
citor for the United Grain Growers,
that commercial prodigy of Tom Ove-
rtax. In this way he gained the con-
fidence of the leaders of the farmers,
although a stranger to the rank' and
file.
He is the only outstanding public
man in the Dominion about whom no
anecdotes are circulated. The trifling
events of early life, which so often
exert a decisive influence upon the
subsequent career, are unrecorded.
Brownlee is the negation of the old
line politician, He is the despair of
political strategists and tacticians.
Never once has he altered his course
of policy to gain a political advan-

Protecting Fruit Trees.
.The putting into quarantine of
6,000 cherry trees, the gift of a Jap-
anese prince to the Australian Com-
monwealth, shows how carefully the
importation of trees and plants is
controlled. Most nations have sim-
ilar stringent regulations in force, all
designed to prevent the spores of dis-
ease from being introduced into the
country.
The Customs authorities in Great
Britain will not ,allow any live trees,
shrubs, plants, or even bulbs, to en-
ter the country unless .a certificate of
their good health Is produced. These
certificates are issued by the Board
of Agriculture (or similar authority)
in the country of origin, and states
that the plants have been grown in
soil free from disease.
Tagged Codfish.
Four codfish, which had been tag
of the
Biological Board, of Canada in the
summer of 1027 and liberated off
other parts of the Nova Scotiacoast.
were caught in the fall of 1929 by
fishermen operating in water's off
Cheticamp, Inverness County, N.S.
These fish were among those which
were tagged in July and August,:
192°7, in the course of the tagging
operations which were carried on to
assist in establishing facts as to the
movements of cod and other fish. They
escaped capture for a little more than
two years and in that time apparent-
ly
pparently made their way around the north
of Cape Deoton to the western coast
of the island, whether they did any
othertravelling or not.
Clergymen's. Collars.
The question as to when the elergy-
began,generally to fasten their "deg"
collar at the back has been asked
several times recently. The, practice-
was apparently adopted not so very
long ago, as time counts In history'.
Less than a hundred years, and not,
as a rule, until after Newma.n's Ox-
ford Movement in 1845. The general
habit came in with the passing of the
black gown, the disuse of short white
bands, and the use of the term "al-
tar" "for communion table.' Say
eighty years ago at the outside most
clergymen were wearing front -fasten-
ing eallars with white bows, or a
stock.
