SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 PAGE FIFTEEN Page of Interesting News and Pictures of the British Isles Teeth of British Soldiers Are Overhauled Annually : London, Bng.--Barly in the New Year evcry British soldier has to have his teeth examined and, necessary, overhauled--a simple precaution which has been larg:ly 1 for the marvellous im- nt in the health of the army i - work 1s undcrtaken by the Army Dental Corps, which, since it came Into existence not lon ago, more than justified itself. i ction in original investiga: tion or research mray, says the ord- or, be regarded as '"dstinguished 'service of an exceptional nature other than in the field" for the put- pose of qualifying for a step in pro- motion by way of brevet, This extends to Army dentists a chance of promotion for skill fn their work which has for some if | years been the privil.ge of members of the Royal Army Medical Corps and Royal Army Veterinary Corps. It is now the settled policy of the War Office to carry out medical re- search work, and there are special institutes for the purpose. Great progress has latterly bene made in respect of the prevention of both malaria and dysentery. If the present rules had been in force in the old days, the Army might never have lost the immed- fate service of that great pioneer in the noble work of stamping out malaria, Colonel Sir Ronald Ross, for whom an appeal has recently been made. : ABERDEEN RISING 'BIG HOSPITAL FUND Ninety Per Cent. of $2.- 000,000 Fund is Already Raised Aberdeen, Scotland. --Lord Provost is during last week received an additional] $530 to his Joint Hospitals Fund, bringing the total to date to $1,846,777.

'The tea set, on being put up to atiction, was sold, after keen bidding, at , to Messrs Harrison & Reeve, fruit salesmen, Aberdeen. The bidd- ing was after the Dutch auction style, and among those who gave bids were Lord Carnegie and Lord Sempill. The arrangements were under the supervision of Lord Carnegie, and in an'interval during the proceedings the prizes which were won in con- nection with the dances were pre- sented by Lady Carnegie (Princess Maud.)

London, on 31st Decem- ber. The eldest som of the late Sergt. Major Donald Munro, of the Highland Rifle Militia, stationed at the old barracks (now the Education Offices), the deceased was a brilliant pupil and pupil-teacher in the Ding- wall Academy under the late Mr. William Morrison, rector, afterwards becoming headmaster of Lionel Pub- lic School, Ness, in Lewis, where he taught with much success.

SIR ROBERT GRAHAM - DEAD IN GLASGOW London. -- Sir Robert Graham, well known in Glasgow's civic life, died this week. He was 82 years of age, and had been in busi- ness as a wholesale n: wsagent and bookstall lessee since 1874. He took an active part in all the work of the city. but especially Parliamen- tary work. Herbert Hampton, noted painter and scluptor, also died Tuesday, at the age of 66 years. His prinicpal works were Queen Victoria Memor- fals for India and New Zealand; King Edward VII and King George for India and London, and many stulptur«d memorials of notable figures. His chief portraits were Queen Mary, Lord and Lady Aber- dare, Sir Henry Irving, Maharajah of Tagore and Lord Kelvin, MORE CATTLE DISEASE After an interval of a month's complete freedom from foot and mouth disease in Great Brita'n, the existence of disease has been dis- covered and confirmed by the Min- 'istry of Agriculture at Walton, near Peterborough. An order has been issued prohi- biting the movement of animals in an area of 15 miles radius round the infected premises.

More "Safety. First" London, Eng.--A plea for the institution of a' safety first campaign in industry with a view to reducing the numb. 0 idents was made by Mr. E. Hoult, chair- man of the National Indus. trial Safety First Committee, in an address in London this week. He said nearly three times as many accidents occur in industry as on the roads, During the last eight vears over 22,000 British workers had been killed and over 3,000,000 sufficiently bad ly injured to be compensated A properly organized-safety campaign could be con ducted at a moderate cost, and would produce savings which would more than cover the expenses. A reduction in accidents of from 25 per cent. to 75 per cent. would be effected. It was a fallacy to say that judicious safety first measures slowed up produc tion or increased its costs, as the lessening of delays due to accidents more than com: pensated for any occasional slowing up which precaution necessitated. BOOTS 6d. A PAIR Sold for Distribution to Children When the clerk informed Maryl.- bone Guardians that he had sold 198 pairs of children's boots at 12 cents a pair to the representatives of Sir Samuel Scott for distribu- tion to poor children, Councillor Elm.r asked what was wrong with the boots. A member replied that they were "rotten." The chairman of the committee denied this. The boots, he said, of an obsolete pattern, had been in stock so long that the leather had become hard, but they only need«d a little oil to make them pliable. The chairman of the guardians said that the clerk had offered the boots to ten institutions without receiving a bid. FOUND AFTER 8 YEARS A valuable diamond ring lost on the permanent way of the L.N.E.R , between Ne¢wcastle and Edinburgh, in 1926, has just found its way to its owner. Three years ago a woman acci- dentally dropped the ring from a carriage window.A thorough search was afterwards made, but it was finally abandoned. A sub-ganger, however, recently picked up a ring, and when in 'quiries were made it was identi- fied as the one lost three years be- fore. The man has been hand- somely rewarded.

At a meeting in Inverness it was stated that the Capital of the Highlands was doomed if all the plans up that way were carried out. Water in large quantities would be diverted from the east to the west, the Riv- er Ness, which was ane of the chief asscts of the city. would be left - high-and dry; and the el:c- tricity produced would be so dear that no factories could use it. There was another scheme, known as that of the West Grampians If it could give cheaper current some business might be done, but that would not save the River Ness and its scenery. A very similar story com s from the town of Ayr. The great Gallow- ay Water Power Order threatens to extend its grasping arms over all the southwest part of Scotland, in- cluding Southen Ayrshire; and the Town Council of Ayr are afraid Diversion of Waters of the "Bonnie Doon" Storm of Criticism asd Protest--Fear River Will Be Changed Into a Dirty Ditch Claim Hydro Schemes Scenery in Famed Burns' Dis'rict Arouses a that one of the results will be the spoiling of the Burns Country for tourists and other holiday makers. Public opinion, some of them sug- gest, needs wakening up on the matter. The Rivér Doon is to be stolen from them. Its waters are to be di- verted at the source and taken elsewhere through an artificial channel, and nothing will be left of the Bonnie Doon of Burns but a dirty ditch. The Town Council could not stand by and see their birthright stolen from them in this fashion. Then, away down in Gal- loway itself, there are objections to the diversion of streams, and the submerging of land by raising the levels of locks, and to the spoiling of scenery generally. But it is almost certain that in the end the promoters of the schemes will have their way, what- ever may happen to the beauties of the N:ss or the Doon. They had their way at Cora Tinn and the beautiful Falls of Clyde are no more. EMIGRATION RUSH "NOT MATKTAINED Applicants Worried About Severity of Canadian Winters London ~ Trained farm-hands who, under an agreemect with the Dominion Government, are to be migrated to Canada in the spring is busily under way. Advices indicate, however, that the early rush of applicants for training is not being maintained Reports from some centres indicate a hesitancy to migrate, The question the applicant fre- quently asks is: What is to become of him if he does not succeed and cannot pay his fare back to Great Britain. The old fear of the severity of the Canadian winter is also said to be a deterring factor. The 6,000 men are those provid- ed for in the agreement between the Canadian and British Govern- ments announced at Ottawa on January 10. They are to be placed in employment farms in Canada before the end July. Numerous bequests ranging from $2500 to $50 to his employees are contained in the will of Mr, Bar- ham Pratt Boorman of the Cedars, Maidstone, editor and proprietor of the "Kent Messenger," aged 68, who died leaving estate of the gross value of $275,000. Bishop Hamlyn, rector of North Creake, Norfolk, was found dead in his garage. He had gone there to start up his motor car, and as he did not return to the rectory, in- vestigations were made and he was found on the garage floor beyond medical aid, which was promptly summoned. Bishop Hamlyn had seen a lot of service in West Afri- ca, The scheme inaugurated three years ago for the construction of five new bridges over the River Jed reached its completion recent- ly when the new bridge at Town- foot, Jedburgh, was opened for traffic.

The consignment consisted of a "bag" of 35 pheasants and part- ridges, 4 deer, 2 wild sheep, and a fox--all rare and valuable species. This is only part of the animal shipment, as at Liverpool, where the Elysia arrived the previous Wednesday, there was landed from the vessel a number of Thibetan dogs for breeding stock in England, A dozen of these animals were put on board at Bombay, but before the Elysia reached Liverpool the num bir was increased by the addition of four puppies born during the voyage. The birds and animals for the Edinburgh Zoo are the gift of Col. F. M. Bailey, British Resident fn |m Gangtok, Sikhim, and the presen- tation is being made through the Bombay Natural History Society. DEATH ON GOLF LINKS Collapse of Bell known Player at - Weyl While he was playing on the St. George's Hill golf course at Wey- bridge, Mr. James F, Kendrew, of Falthorpe, Weybridge, collapsed, and died within a few minutes. He was just about to play his se cond shot to the second green. Mr. Kendrew"s handicap was three, and he was a regular player in club matches. He was about 58 years of age. An express train crashed into a bus at a level crossing at Billing- ham, near Stockton.There were sev- en passengers in the 'bus and all were 'injured.

That steps be taken forthwith to apply administrative pressure on Parish Counci.s that do not pro- vide adequa.e relief. ; 3. That local committees be in- vited to arrange with Education authorities for the feeding of children in distressed areas with- out reference to the s.atutory lim- itations of the Authorities, and that unds be provided for that purpose by the Finance Commit- tee. . The Committee also decided that, apart from the ordinary methous of feeding by food vouch- ers or the feeding in schools, local committees might assist in other ways--for example, by making payments to ecab.e boys who ob- tain employment as apprentices away from home to maintain themselves in suitable lodgings, and by assisitng men to move to employment in other areas, includ- ing the Colonies in suitable cases. The total amount of the Lord Provost's Fund is about $140,000. Over $600 was raised by a con- cert in the King Theatre. Included in Monday's subsecrip- tions was an anonymous gift of $505. Provost Hayward, of Galashiels, has forwarded $1312, the amount collected by him. A feature of Saturday's list was a donation of $500 by the Craig- millar Creamery Company (Ltd.). There also figures in the list a donation from New York--the gift of an octogenarian in that city. PERFECT VILLAGE ¢ IN ENGLAND HAS ONE WINDING STREET Streat, Sussex.--~The perfect Eng- lish village lies in the heart of Sus- sex and is called Streat. The village has no shops, no public buildings, or even a post office, and gasoline sta- tions are unknown. Streat, some- times known as Street, is aptly named. It has but one street, narrow and winding, with a surface which makes every spring and bolt in a motor car groan their disapproval. This rustic approach runs between typical English scenery--hedgerows and or- chards, the trees of which are laden with rosy apples, and from behind which peep farmyards with hay- stacks, stables and dovecotes. There is a beautiful tiny church, of the early. English style, on a wall of which is a list of rectors dating back to FPRilip Bemond in 1337 . -------------- WOULD RENT WARWICK CASTLE London, -- Warwick Castle the oldest inhabited castle in England and one of the favorite show-places for American tourists, is "to let." For the second time in its thousand year history, the famous stronghold who can pay th eprice as an Eng- lish "pied-a-terr." The first time was when it was let to Henry W. Marsh, the American insurance an, as a summer residence, when the lite fifth Earl of Warwick was still giving. Now the Countess of Warwick, widow of the sixth Earl, has again found the rastle too large and too expensive a luxury, and the place is in the hands of an ordin- ary firme of rea] estate agents--a fate that Guy of Warwick, Warwick the "Kingmaker," the "Good Earl" and its other historic owners could never foresee. With Warwick Castle areo ffered grounds of fifty-six ac- res and one and one-half miles of the River Avon, while "sporting rights" over 1.000 acres can be ob- tained in addition. is offered to any wealthy American Dublin, Ireland.--~When the Sinn Fein party met in Dublin to cele- brate the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the first Dail Eir- eann and the Irish Republic, Miss Mary McSweeney moved the first reading of what was described as "the new Constitution of Ireland," which was based on the proclama- tion of Paster week, 1916. Under the new Constitution there would be: No anti-Catholic legisla- tion; no Godless schools; no di- vorce; no standing army, A defence force of land and air Irish Free State to Have No Divorces and No Army coastal defences, would be estab- lished. Irish Spoken Administration would be by a ! national legislature and an econ- omic council this to have only | power to make recommendations). Irish is to be the official lan- guage, but Fuglish allowed as long as necessary. The economic policy would be to free Ireland from commercial domination by England and to make the nation self-supporting, Land would be nationalised.

THE "FLU" EPIDEMIC How Edinburgh Schocls Ars Affected Edinburgh, -- A return of the number of absentees from the schools under Edinburgh Education Authority shows that out of a to- i tal of 55,450 pupils there were 9,958 absent. This is equal to 17.9 per cent. as compared with an absentee per- centage of 9.8 over the correspond- ing period of last session. The large increase is due to the prevalence of the influenza epidem- fe. Dr. William Robertson, the Medical Officer of Health, recently stated that the position as regard- ed the "flu" epidemic was unchang- ed. Asked with regard to a possible further spread of the epidemic Dr, Robertson state that much depend- ed on the weather. A spell of sunshine and the absence of fog would do much to prevent the + spread of the disease, Edinburgh--That Scotland as a pation is dying, that her life is ebbing away, was the fear ex- pressed by Sheriff J. G. Jameson at the annual dinner of the Scot- tish Society which was held in rhe Caledonian Station Hotel, Edin- burgh. The objects of the Society are the cultivation of Scottish na- .jonal sentiment, the preservation of Scottish tradition, and the en- cour@gement of the wearing of the kilt. The president, Mr. W. G. Na- pier, presided over a company of about 50 ladies and gentlemen, many of whom wore Highland costume, Sheriff Jameson proposed "The Express Fear That Scotland's National Life is Ebbing Away scottish Society," and in the course of his speech said he thought the strength of our stri- dent Caledonianism sprang from the feeling of the weakness of Scotland's position as a nation The fact of our Sco.tish glorifica- tion came from a sense that Scot- land's life was ebbing away. We felt that we bad got to call the at- tention of everybody else to the fact that there was Scotland, and that we were Scots, otherwise it might be forgot en, He had tried not to be a wet blanket, bu: when he thought about Scotland he be the death-bed of his parent. came soft and often tragic He felt like a child watching beside BABY POISONED BY EATING TABLETS The Jury Recommend That Greater Precautions Should Be Taken Leeds, Eng.--A child three medicinal tablets for use by the died who ate dispensed mother, and who from strychnine poisoning, Leeds. The mother, Mrs. Joseph Linder, of Rumbolds avenue, Leeds stated that she had placed the tabe lets in a china ornament and pos- sibly spilled some on the floor, as her 23 months' old daughter, Dor- een, picked something up and said, '"Spicey, mamma." She had, how- ever no knowledge that the child had eaten anything, and would not have allowed the child in any case to take the tablets, The police surgeon said that the doses given would have no {ll ef- fect on the mother, but would be harmful to the child. who had died from asphyxia following strychnine poisoning. The law, he said, did not require that medical men dis- pensing medicine contaning pois onous substances should label the bottle "Poison." Such a course owuld often be inadvisable, as many persons would refuse to take medi cine so labelled. A chemist, how~ ever, selling such tablets had. to affix a label. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evi- dence, and suggested that preserip- tions containing any poison given at institutions of *"Babies' Wel- comes" should be labelled poison. Late Ex-Provost Prominent in Public Life of Inverness Inverness--Ex- Provost Arthur D, Ross, who passed away on Sat- urday, was one of the oldest as well as one of the best known citizens of Inverness, in whose public and social welfare he had been associated for half a century. He entered the Town Council over 45 years ago, and served for 25 .years, during six of which he occupied the civic chair, In his term of office as Provost much progress was accomplished by the town, and he had the honour on two occasions of receiving King George (then Prince of Wales.) Ex- Provost Ross was an Honorary Sheriff-Substitute of Invernessshire and a Justice of the Peace, and took a keen interest in politics, being an ardent Liberal. He devoted much of his time to the furtherance of the affairs of the United Free High Church, in which he was an elder; and in that connection it is somewhat remarkable . that 'within the past fortnight or so no fewer than four office-bearers of that church have passed away. INVERNESS MANSION FIRE Brin House, a large mansion near Inverness, on the es ate of Lord Invernairn, was the scene on Tuesday morning of an outbreak of fire, which, but for the laud- able efforts of a band of estate workers might have proved serious indeed. On the arrival of the In- verness Fire Brigade the firm found that Mr. Cameron and some of the estate workers had been busily engaged fighiing the fire with the appliances belonging to the estate, which, though erude, were made to serve the purpose, and had got the outbreak pretty the damage, which is covered by insurance, will not exceed $1,000.
