STORK AND CUPID BUSY IN JUNE Toronto Couples Set New Record for Month of June 5 Toronto, July 4.--Last month was a Healthy month in Toronto.

Customs Lower oe Custom receipts for the month of June show a decrease from the total for the same month of 1928. Receipts total $4,911,817, the total of June last year being $5490,817. Revenue from sales tax accounts for the greatest drop, the cut from 3 per cent. to 2 per cent, representing ncarly half a million dollars. "The sales tax accounts for prac- tically the entire decline," stated John H. Bertram, collector for the port of Toronto. "Gains have been very heavy in customs collections until this month when decrease is shown. The gains d| have been so large as to wipe out the loss from the decrease in sales tax and also give a substantial gain. , Mr. Bertram added that excise du- ties, largely made up of lquor and tobacco have shown a decrease of $67,000 over a year ago. Humane Society Records Some idea of the splendid work done by the Humane society is shown in its report for the first six months of the present year, when nearly 80,- 000 birds and animals were examined, including 2,012 horses, 3906 dogs, 7231 cats, 37,168 cattle, sheep and hogs, 27,965 poultry. During the same period 54 horses were destroyed, also 3,081 dogs and 6,949 cats. The society officials also examined 560 performing animals and birds appearing at the various theatres. Although nearly 900 complaints were received and investi- gated, one-third of which were regis- tered during the past mon'h, the so- ciety had found it neces: :y to. inst- tute court proceeding: in 51 cases and in cach instance sccured a con- viction, THE EASY KIND .

TREASURE HONTS IN ANTARCTIC SE Whaling Enterprises Show Promise of Financial Gain Sydney, Australia, July 4.--The claims of the United States to regions in the Antarctic are, various news- papers assert here, dictated by the growing belief in Antarctic enonomic possibilities, so remarkably demon- strated by the financial success of the numerous Norwegian whaling entes- prises. ; Sir Douglas Mawson, who has been chosen by the Australian government, to lead its expedition to Antarctica at the end of this year, has bluntly swept away any illusion that he 1s going merely in search of scientific honor and glory. "Antarctica is not just a useless stretch of ice; it is like Alaska, from which the Americans have taken 800,- 000,000 pounds sterling in gold," he said. This, following disputes regarding international boundaries at the "bot- tom of the world"--prompted, of course, by the belief that there are vast mineral deposits there--means that the numbers have gone up for a great treasure hunt, The sudden access of interest in An-arctica suggests that some auth- oritative information regarding the economic value of the far South has been received, and since iron, and copper, and such like metals are of vital importance it is possible that all future interest in this vast territory will center on its economic rather than its scientific aspect. Sit Douglas Mawson, it is stated by scientists here, has refrained from writing all he knows of Antarctica It is suggested that he is in pos- sesion of evidence proving the Ant arctic to be the storchouse of enor- mous mineral wealth, If that is so it is a fair assump- tion that the British Government also knows--and it explains the sudden in- terest taken by the Australian gov- crnment in Antarctic affairs, CONSERVATION OF EMPIRE'S TIMBER Recommend Extensive Plan- . ting Programme Wellington, New Zealand, July 4--Need for conservation of the British Empire's . timber ,not. only in the great forests of Canada but also in New Zealand is emphasized in the statement of Hon, W B. Tav- ener commissioner of state forests, that in forty years there will be no native timber worth having in New Zealand left to mill. Mr. Tavener recommends that the Dominion proceed at once with an extensive planting program. "A certain change of attitude is BE EEN amy EET required toward the use of timber in New Zealand," said the minis- ter, "People have been wasteful ia the utilization of native timbers, and that waste must be stopped. In the most favored forest dis- tricts my experts tell me that only about ten per cent, of the stand- ing timber is actually utilized in the manufacturing of lumber." The government is going ahead with a program for the provision of 800,000 acres of state forests to be planted fin pine trees. On some of the land to be reforested the government will plant fir cones and other tree seeds obtain- ed from British Columbia, WOMEN _ CAUSE OF UNENPLOYHENT New Zealand Economist Sees Change Coming Aukland, New Zealand, July 4 ~New Zealand girls should be per- suaded to take up domestic work and leave their jobs in business to men exclusively, according to Dr. BE. P. Neale, noted economist, who voiced his suggested solution of the unemployment problem before the New Zealand Economic Society. "The excessive number of wo- men enrtenched in positions in the cities of New Zealand and most o the other countries of the world make it very difficult for boys 'leaving school to get a foothold," said Dr, Neale, "Owing to the war there has been a spectacular rise in the number of women in commer- cial offices, the majority of them rarely advancing beyond junior positions, The number has doubled in New Zealand from 1911 to 1921, and at the same time there are 4,000 more boys, relative to the population, looking for work." Dr. Neale sees a change coming, however, which will improve the situation, "The world tendency toward a men entrenched in positions in tho gether with the exceptionally few birth during the war, means that the number of young people seek- ing work is becoming smaller every year, and, in addition, it is to be noted that there is now a tendency in the business world to curtail the number of posts open for women. The future is safe, but for the present it would be a splendid thing if the women would volun- tarily quit their jobs." Dr. Neales quotes figures show- ing that where as 12,00 women in New Zealand were assisting in the home in 1911, only 2000 were so occupied fifteen years later. U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSETS INCREASED Washington, D. C., July 4--Presi- dent Hoover's "nose for news" led him to advise the ncwspaper corre- spondents at his regular semi-weckly conference that they might obtain an interesting "story" by inquiring at the Treasury for an estimate as to the amount of outstanding surrency which will never be offered for re- demption through exchange for the smaller bills soon to be issued. Pointing out that there now is out- standing a total of $5065402,493 in currency of various types, Mr, Hoov- er recalled that after the paper money was last recalled for redemption soon after the Civil War, $13,000,000 of the $50,000,000 then outstanding never was presented for redemption, "That meant that the government's assets were increased by just that amount," Mr. Hoover said, adding with a smile that of course he didn't expect the thirteen to fifty ratio to obtain at present. OIL FIELDS SHOWN IN "THE SHAKEDOWN" A tour of Southern California's largest oil fields adds an_additional bit of entertainment to Universal's thrillingly human drama, "The Shakedown," now showing the New Martin Theatre. Director William Wyler, in order to get atmosphere for this picture of boxing "racketeers" who eperatc in wealthy oil centers, took his com- pany on location to Signal Hill, Tor- rance, Santa Fe Springs, Bakersfield and Montebello, famous as oil pro- ducing fields.
