The percentage of carbon dlox- ide in the air was certainly small, tons of air available, and to the fact that the proportions of carbon dioxide and water vapor were being through the normal operation of matural pro- cesses, it was possible to envisage the air around us as g reservoir of "wood pulp" for newsprint and all other paper requirements, much more inexhaustible than the Nor- wegian and Canadian forests, which were at present being con- sumed at such an alarming rate. JUGOSLAVIA GETS | READY FOR NEW CABINET ASSEMBLY Restoration of Parliamentary Government Authorita- tively Predicted Belgrade, Feb. Péseufjestoration of parliamentary govefnmnet in Jugoslavia, although probably in only a nominal form, is predicted in auhtoritative circles as the next major step in the reconstruction of the tri-partite kingdom under the dictatorship of King Alexan- der. Some of the prophets profess to know that the king will proclaim a new constitution to take the place rally and they have ! tatorship was the Since that date the monarch has ruled without a' parliament and without political parties. The cabi- net hag been made up of men who were persona grata to him person- Bgen responsible only. to the king, " A new system of local govern- ment has been put into effect. It has been based upon the idea of geographical divisions of the king- dom instead of the racial and reli- gious provinces that formerly kept affairs of state in a turmoil, /As a furtherance of the attempts to create a sense of national unity the ¥ory mame of the country has been changed. It used to be "the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes", Now it is officially what it has long been know as popular- ly, "the Kingdom of Jugoslavia." The redistributf®ns of local au-y thority took place through creation of nine banovines, or administra- tive districts, At the head of each is a "ban" who has almost vice- regal powers. Like the cabinet min- isters, these bans report directly to the king. Eight of the banovines are named for the chief rivers passing through them--the Vardar, the Save, the Zate, the Drina, the Dan- ube, the Morava, the Vrbas and the Drave. The ninth, which takes in the districts along Jugoslavia's coast line on the Adriatic, is known, as "the Littoral." Besides these the city of Belgrade is an independent prefecture. i Hence officially there is no long- er a Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Horzo- govina and Montenagro to plague the government with traditions oil racial heroics. Instead of being a Bosnian or Montenegrin, a man is a Zetan or a Danuban. And al are Jugoslavians. So also the dictatorship has tried to suppress divisions along politica, lines. The old government saw the Croatian Peasant Party and the National Democratic Party in alli- ance against Jugoslav Moslems, Slovenian Clericals and Conserva- tive Radicals, There were half a dozen other organizations buzzing around these principal combatants, Six months before the dictator- ship was declared, these rivalries flared into eruption. A revolver blazed on the floor of parliament, Stefan Raditsch and several other Oroatian leaders were shot down hy a Montenegrin and the country was brought to the verge of a sep- aratist movement and possible civil war, One of the first acts of the dic- suppression of political parties as such, Their headquarters were closed and their party newspapers suppressed. Some of the more recalcitrant politicians were arrested and banished to re- mote villages where they live under strict surveillance. Others fled to neighboring countries, whence they try to "carry on." |) So the prophets the new con- stitution believe that if it comes, it will provide a pailiament with only restricted powers, Some see in the future a one party government like that which Mussolini operates in Italy. Others believe that tho new parliament will be only an ad- visory body, as impotent to enact legislation as the national assem- bly of Spain under Primo de Rivera. - o> HONEY!

Paul Claudel Spends Early Hour in Spiritual Meditation Washington, D.C, Feb. 26.--From the French embassy a few minutes before 8 o'clock every morning, a distinguished, gray mustached man emerges, In brisk fashion he makes his way down the hill to the large stone church a few blocks away, St. Paul's arriving in time for mass. A half hour or so later he starts back up the hill to the embassy, Few who pass him on the street recognize him as M. Paul Claude ambassador from France to the Un? ited States, Yet this carly morning pilgrimage has been a definite part of the ambassador's daily routine since he presented his credentials to President Coolidge back in "or vf) Every morning, regardless of late he had been out the night fore, M. Claudel arises at 6.30. He then spends one hour in spiritual meditation before going to mass. Af terward he returns to the embassy and reads or writes on spiritual top- ics until breakfast at 9 o'clock. One of the most interesting person- alities in the official life of Wash ington is the French ambassador. Critical studies of the man and his work k.ve occupied the minds of leading scholars and critics. M. Claudel, a poet, philosopher and statesman, has won distinction in all three fields, He has written nu- merous. plays -- all of the religious mystic type.- M. Claudel is 'the father of five children.

The spirit of adventure which this seal hunting game satisfies is in the Newfoundland fisherman's blood. It' is a heritage from those hardy West Country people, his forebears, who dared the Atlantic their homes in the bays and inlets along the Newfoundland coast, one hand for a share of the soil, and on the other, fighting a continuous bat f fish. Sureness of foot and good judg- ment are essential to safety in the seal hunting game. time in which the outport boy en- from one cake of ice to another float- ing in the harbour. Duckings not infrequently occur and paternal ad monishments may follow, but are regarded as an injunction to be more careful in the future rath than as punishment for engaging i the sport. Few Accidents To witness a crew leaping from the the ice, or running this way and that over the floating pans to reach the seal herds is to be impressed with the importance of surcfootedness, good judgment, and nerve. Open spaces of water have to be crossed by jumping from one pan of ice to Sometimes the cake is big enough to support the weight of a number men: in other places it submerges underfoot as a flying leap is made across it. An immersion is a serious matter, as the ship is often far away, and it means 'working for hours in wet clothing without any ans shelter from the icy blast, not to| mention the risk of drowning if as- sistance is not close at hand. It is] remarkable, however, how seldom an accident of this kind occurs. Sense of Direction Keen | In the pursuit of the seals, the | men are at times several miles dis tant from their ships. A patch of | seals may cover a considerable area, and to secure as many as possible before other ships arrive, it is cus- tomary to drop one master watch with a gang of men in one place and string the othérs out at suitable points of attack. Fach gang kills and pans all the seals in the vicinity, and 1s either picked up later on by the ship, or if she is jammed, a way must be found to' reach her. That somctimes entails a long journey, and if in the meantime a storm has come on, a journey of a hazardous and ar- | duous nature, A master watch in re- counting one, such experience told of having 'travelled with his men for | sotne twenty-four hours over the ice! during a hunting expedition. They spent one night on board another | sealer, and the next day started to rejoin their ship which was then out of sight. Overtaken by darkness, they had to make what shelter they could and maintain warmth as best they could in the snowstorm which had come on, In the morning, with nothing to indicate the direction of the ship, they resumed their journey, The master watch in his accoun does not appear to regard the fact that they reached their ship with the storm still raging as a remarkable achievement. All that he says is, "We were glad to locate our vessel about two the next morning after having been on the ice for fifty-two hours." of of Eager for Hunt Each spring, there is the same eagerness displayed to secure berths on ships bound to the ice, no matter what the luck of the previous sea- son was, no matter what hardship was previously experienced, no mat- ter, even, if the vovage had been marked by a disaster. Tt is true of late years the number who engage in the seal fishery is considerably less than in the past; that however is not due to any disinclination of the men to take part in jt, but rather to the fact that with the use of steamers instead of sailing vessels in the prose- cution of. the industry, the comple- ment of men required has been con- siderably reduced. * SOVIET BANS US.
