ROBT. C. REDMOND M..R.C.S. (ENG.) L.R.C.P. (Land.) PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON 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- i1 ARTHUR SOMERS H / BYDONALD RILEY eeeseeeeeeseseaseweseve SYNOPSIS. This was love.

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. Three Million 1,looks.
