visited Montreal recently to in-
spect an experimental shipment of
western steers at the stockyards
in that city. The cattle, compris-
ing 416 bead of shorthorns, Here-

Analyzing the causes of business
depression in Canada, . E. W.
Beatty; chairman and president of

speech ch before the American Insti-

ly, recalled American suggestions
that cancellation of foreign debts
due the United States would cure
present world conditions and bene-
fit the country that cancelled
them. "It is not surprising, said
Mr. Beatty, "that your menof great
vision have reached the conclusion
that if they (the war debts) were
removed, industry would be stimu-
lated, trade would expand, and
prosperity would return, and out
of the revivication of the world
conditions would inevitably come
great benefit to the United States."

The latest available figures show
that the industry to -day represents
a capital value of *22,980,617, of
which $16,401,453 is invested in fur -
bearing animals. Prince Edward

month of September, in which an
increase of '$1,721,645 was shown
in net earnings over the total for
•September'of last year, in the face
of an actual `decrease in gross
earnings, is a tribute to a manage-
ment's ability to adapt Itself to un-
favorable conditions, according to
a financial authority of Montreal.
The showing itself is not an indi-
cation of improved business for
gross earnings were only $19,192,-
325 as against $19,551,217 one year
ago, a decline of $358,891, but it is
a favorable develoQkment for the
company itself. What was done
was to cut down operating ex-
penses from $14,540,597, shown In
September one year ago, to $12,-
460,060 for September, 1930. Some
Indication of 'what retrenchment

a natural increase in nen of 8388.-

than this.

Oon►---Nornadic ,Inhabitants,
Having lived for more than twenty
years on tb,e border line between
China and Tibet, R. Cunningham, of
the China Inland Mission, has g<^dned
an extensive knowledge of life in
Tibet, 'which is probably the least -
known inbabi:e.d country ' in the
world. Populated by more than six
million people, Tibet is bordered •, by
Russia on the north, India on the
south, China on the east, and Persia
on the 'west.: Tour high mountain,
ranges' correspond wi h these boun-
daries, and Tibet may only be enter-
ed by high, snow-capped passes from
14,000 feet to 20,000 feet above sea-
level.
"It seems as if nature had con-
spired with the lamas to make Tibet
a closed country," said Mr. Cunning-
ham. "Apart from the fac, that no
person,, other than a Tibetan, ii al-
lowed
to enterthe country, it would
be difficult for one to live in or neat
Tibet, because the Neigh- of the coun-
try above sea -level makes the atmo-
sphere so rarified," Relati.ves of Sud-
Eta Sundar Singh, an Indian Chris
tian, were found by Mr; Cunningham
at Darjeeling in North India, Sun-
dar Singh was taken ).prisoner when
he first visi,ed Tibet, ami he was tole;
that if he returned be would be pun
to death. It was rumored, howel e,
that he had died of cholera.
Having learned to speak the Tibe-
tan language, Mr. Cunningliaus uas
rrequeittly conversed wi h the la.uas
,;ho pass into China, and from thei._
to has obtained information to i'rt
political and religious ui, itizattei.

Her Highness Setulaklshmi 13ayi,

been given the credit of initiative in
doing away with the Devadasi townie
system which for centuries has been
maintained by the state. Reformer:,
believe that her action will carry
great weight in other sections er tae
country. The change was due :o a
chance visit of her highness to a tem-
ple of worship in the course of a
tour in South Travancore where

afterward that the` regent abolrsheel

that men should be appointed to taste

The girls did all the cleaning work
