ANDORRANS ANGRY AT SPANISH CHIEF Winding Up of Profitable Smuggling at Root of Trouble Paris, Apr. 1. -- The miniature re- public of Andorra, whose situation among the peaks of the Pyrenees has cnabled it to defeat the most power- ful nations, is ready to buckle on the sword again. The citizens of the lit- tle nation which was a republic in the days of Charlemagne are furious with their neighbor, Spain, The 40 soldiers who compose the Andorra army are drilling an addi- tional hour each day and the usually taciturn citizens are astonishing visi- tors and one another by the fluency and vigor of their vituperation. They are mad at Spain because Spain is trying to conscript Andorrans into the Spanish army. That is the crown- ing insult. They have been angry a long time at General Primo de Ri- vera's attempts to force them to learn and speak Castillian instead of their native Catalan, the language of the separatists of Catalonia, There are other reasons, too. Andorra is a free and self-govern- ing republic. Its independence is the product of its peculiar position. Stuck away in an impregnable pocket at the loftiest point of the range of mountains separating Fsance and Spain, Andorra is practically safe from attack. Recently a road has been laid to enable small automobiles to make the trip into the republic but it would be the labor of a few hours to destroy this road and iso- late the republic once more from the | outside world. Napoleonic Guarantee During the Napoleonic wars, An- dorra helped France, and Napoleon in gratitude guaranteed the republic its independence. Nominally, how- ever, it is under the protection of the Bishop of the See of Urgel on the Spanish side, and the president of the French Republic, who as successor to Henry 1V is Prince of Andorra. The Prince of Andorra, or Presi- dent Doumergue, will soon receive the protest which the Andorrans are ftaming in their gray thick-walled houses. The protest will be accom- panied by a bill of particulars in which Spain appears as the bully. The protest 'will however omit that one of the chief causes for Andorra's re- sentment is that Spain, and France as well, sent caribineros on one side and gendarmes on the other and by a sleepless vigilance halted the smug- gling proclivities of the citizens of Andorra. The voiced complaints will include a protest against the proposal of a syndicate of financiers said to be sup- ported by $5,000,000 capital, to build the largest gambling casino in the world in Andorra. A railroad be- tween Barcelona and Andorra is be- ing constructed and may be ready for operation by 1930, and another is planned on the French side from Ton- louse. ENGLAND ENJOYS SUMMER WEATHER Unusual Warm Tempera- ture for First Public Holiday London, Apr. 1. -- The overcoat and the MacKintosh were hastily thrust into cold storage or--more cor- rectly perhaps--into warm storage throughout England late last week. The russet sunrise and the mounting thermometer in the early forenoon put to shame any who doubted that the long dark English winter was at last routed and that spring was at and. This, the first public holiday of the year, might have been a day in mid June. The call of the country and the sea to all city dwellers was clam- orous, people swarmed from their arid workaday surroundings by train, by car and even by airplane. By noon there were whole half miles of inner London sidewalks with- out a figure of their sunwarmed sur- faces save maybe the ever dutiful policeman with perhaps a stray dog seeking his company in such unwont- ed silence.

SOCIETIES IN JOINT GATHERING AT PICKERING BUSINESS MEETING OF THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Family Reunion Held at the Home of Magistrate and Mrs. Clark Pickering, March 29.--St. Paul's Y. S. was entertained by St. An- drew's Society on Friday evening. In spite of the wet weather, a large number of young people congregated in the S.S. room to hear Dr. Carscal- len, principal of the O.L.C., speak on conditions in China. He spoke main- ly on the political conditions of the country in recent years and gave an interesting account of the birth and activities of the Nationalist party, He was very optimistic when mentioning the final outcome of the present revolutionary movement in China and declared that the Chinese will gradu- ally evolve a splendid system of gov- ernment for themselves. The young people were particularly interested in Dr. Carscallens' address as the mis- sion study for this year is on China. After the program a social hour was spent, in which the St. Andrew's So- ciety served lunch. : Mrs. H. J, Marquis, of Iefroy, vis- ited relatives in the village for a few days this week. . Owing to the smallness of the at- tendance at the Women's Institute meeting held at the home of Mrs. G. Law on Tuesday afternoon, the pa- pers on "Health" and "Education, by Miss G. Puckrin, and Mrs. R. Winters, respectively, were held over until the April meeting and with the exception of a paper on Current Events, by Mrs. C. O. Sterritt, the time was given over entirely to busi- ness. A committee which had been previously appointed for that purpose reported that arrangements were be- ing made for a course on Home Nursing and First Aid," to be held in summer. The exact date has not been set, but it will be sometime after the closing of the school.

Mrs. Atkinson, presi- dent of East Toronto Presbyterial, was present and addressed the gath- ering on the great nced of support of the mission work, Mrs. McMaster, of Toronto, added to the program by singing two pleasing solos.

Rankin, WAIT APPOINTING OF SUCCESSOR TO SIR LOWER GOUIN Duties of His Office Must Be Held in Abeyance Until Then (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, April 1.--Until a suc- cessor is appointed to the late Sir Lomer Gouin, the duties attach- ing to the Lieutenant-Governor- ship of Quebec must remain in abeyance. This is firmly establish- ed as a matter of constitutional law, it is agreed by experts here. Accordingly the legislative assem- bly of the province may not be prorogued nor can bills receive royal assent pending the appoint- ment. It is believed that the office will be filled when cabinet meets on Tuesday. The appointment of Sir Francois Lemieux as administrator, is auto- matically cancelled by Sir Lomer's death. The British North America Act provides for the appointment of an administrator during the ill- ness or absence from the country of the incumbent, but no ar- rangements for such an office can be made in the event.of death.

It confirms the daily reports of His Majesty's satisfactory pro- gress but reveals for the first time that he is suffering from rheumat- ism about the right shoulder. The bulletin was issued following a visit of Lord Dawson of Penn, and Sir Stanley Hewett to Craigwell house. The bulletin read: "The king continues to make sat- isfactory progress in spite of tire- some rheumatism around his right shoulder. His weight is increasing, his appetite returning and his sleep London, April 1. -- One result of the recent cold snap in England has been to attract scientific attention to the troubles of monkeys with their tails. In the monkey house at the London Zoo, where many scientific igvestigations are carried on continu- ally as a by-product of the exhibition of the animals, heated rooms and sleeping shelves are provided to keep the monkeys comfortable; as well as powerful "electric lamps to resemble the summer sun of the tropics. During-London's recent cold spell, however, some of the monkeys seemed to enjoy leaving their com- fortable, electrically-warmed beds to scamper, like hurnan children, in the snow outside. One consequence was several cases of frost-bitfen tails; FIND MONKEYS IN LONDON ZOO ol VICTIMS OF FROSTBITTEN TAILS romptly treated as Canadian Jum- ermen know how to treat frosted human noses, but making the scien- tific staff of the zoo wonder why the monkeys' tails froze oftener than other parts of their anatomy, The reason seems to be, it is con= cluded, that a monkey's tail suffers from chronic cold for much the same reason that some men or women -are subject to cold feet The tail's blood supply is bad. The kinds of monkeys that live in the Eastern Hemisphere, the ones chiefly represented in the London Zoo, do not use their tails to hang on by or to pick up objects, Being mainly ornamental, the tails gradually have lost the active blood circulation that would keep them safely warm in cold weather, is of better quality. The insistence on lengthy abstention from all but essential public duties and on a quiet life in the present suitable climate is being justified in the steady. improvement in his majes- ty's bodily and mental vigor."
