They have learned the price of labor and their tradition- al method of asking far more than they expect for their carpets, lea- therware, hammered copper, bas. ketwork and mosaics serves them well, for they can out-bargain most of the visitors. There are more Roman ruins to he seen here than in Italy, The cities and eque- ducts built at Cherchell and scores of other places during six centur- fos wore destroyed by war and wea- ther but much remains, There was so much space that the successors of the Romans seldom Built over the Roman cities but started anew, Goal Has Chapel Cobourg.~The united counties goal is the only one in Ontario equipped with a chapel where the risoners may gather for worship, t is situated on the top floor, 10,000 BRITISH "SHOT" IN MEXICO Rifle Fire, Shooting Was Done RAHN Mexico City, ~Nearly 10,000 Can- udians and Britishers have been "shot" in the Republic of Mexico, Terrible as this news may appear the citizens of the Dominion and the British Empire rather enjoyed the Exhirience of being "shot" and were glad to get it over and done with, The "shooting" of this army of sub- Jjeets of King George V. consisted ur the compulsory posing for photo: graphs, All foreigners, men and have been required by the government to obtain indentification cards and for these six small photographs--~thres front face and as many profile--~were neces: sary. It is estimated that upward of 100,000 foreigners were compelled to go to the photographers under this ruling' which was an aftermath of the compulsory registration of all aliens in this country, a proceeding that took some six weeks and put the 'visitor within Mexico's gates to some litttle inconvenience in the way of waiting in ling for hours te obey this edict. Registration. cost the foreigners nothing, except loss of time, But the securing of indentification billets represented a financial outlay as well as an expenditure of time, The pictures cost a peso and the card fee was a like sum, Therefore Can. adians and Britishers were each set back about one dollar. As was the case during the registration period the foreigner had to wait in line at the. government offices among & heterogeneous crew == Spaniards, French, Dutch, German, Italian, Sy- rians, Arabs, "Chinese and several other nationalities. The card repre- sents a "thumb nail" sketch of the subject's life history, Awful things are promised for those who have failed to register or to get these identification cards, Such delinquents are now being rounded up by the police through- png hs ne ol S00" pe they dre liable fing of pesos (about $250 a or' six months in jail, or both, and possible deportation, Government officials announce that the Canadian and British residents of this country have been prompt to obey both the registration and the indentification edicts, Photographers have done a "land office" business, Many such establishments have had to add several hours to their work: ing day and employ extra help to take care of this rush of trade, RA _-- COUNCILLORS LIABLE Cobourg, --~ Cobourg councillors of the 1030 counell and of past councils are personally lable to the ratepayers of Cobourg for non-col- lection of taxes over a period of yoars.., MoQuire de- clared at the council session and he intimated that ratepayers may take attion te hold the present counell and members of past coun. coils strictly to account in the mat. ter if arrears which totalled some $20,000 at the biginning of the year are. not collected without fear I | or favor.

OF FAT CHINESE SHIPPING PROTEST LOSS OF BRITISH GUARDS Too Many Piracies Occur To Remove Armed , Vessels, i is Claim Hong Konug.~=Proposals of the British Government to remove military guards from merchant vessels operating In Chinese waters have been received with a storm of protest from Kongkong shipping concerns, Too many plracies oe- cur every year 10 make the step of removing British guards from the coastal bonis an wise one the ship. pers argue, even though native guards are gubstituted by the shipping firms themselves, Ever since British shipping be eamo an important factor commer elally in the waters of southern China, the government has sup- plied all vessels flying the British flag with an armed guard---usualy a squad or two of soldiers, The mere fact that these soldiers have heen aboard has. served to keep pirates from attacking a vessel and for this reason special detachments of "Tommies" have been kept in Kongkong ready for guard duty aboard ip at a minute's notiee, If the British soldiers are remov- od, owners fear that the safety of foreign ship's officers will be plae- ed In unnecessary danger, even if 8 substitute guard is arranged, In this respect the owners point to the piracy of, the steamer Ane king last September as an example, During this incident two foreign officers were killed together with a Chinese member of the crew, all because there was no guard aboard oxoept a fow armed natives, The captain and third officer were wounded while the pirates carried off seven passengers for ransom, The Incident stirred the foreign officers along the China coast and yet it was only four months later, at Singapore, when the owners of | a vessel and its foreign officers came to grips over the subject and the Intter came off second heat. The ship was leaving Singapore for China with a heavy passenger list of plantation laborers, "rich" af ter soveral months work in the Straits Settlements and likely plun- der for pirates, When sailing time came the for elgn officers demurred at lfting anchor and. getting under way without a guard and made repre sentation to the owners to that ef. feet, After much wrangling na guard was provided, hut the ship had been delaved some five hours in sailing, This plaued the owners to such an extent that they deniot. od all the officers and had them removed to smaller ships, The re. sult fs that each side in somewhat apprehensive of the other and un- loss guards of some description are maintained, there fs hound to be bad blood, The number of pliracles of ime portance that were committed last year reaches the amazing total of 600, Most of the victims wore farge Chinese junks earrying eargo from the coastal ports, Only 11 Inrge steamers were attacked by the sea-wolves hut this number was sufficient to eause serious thought among the owners, PERFUME STREETS OF NEW YORK IS NEW SUGGESTION Parfumeur Dislikes Smells From Motor Cars and Factories New York.-~George Klots, head of a Parisian perfume company, | eomplains about the bad odors en- countered on the sidewalks of New York, Ho suggests & youedy for overcoming the noxious smells, In- duced by motor car exhausts and smoke from factories and the like, The remedy, Mr, Klotz declares, In to perfims the the streets, Widmmy od ners The Klotz plan calls for trans formation of street hydrants into gigantic atomizers, each of then equipped to spray some sweet and appropriate odor upon the pave: ment and in the alr---when they are not vulgarly used to extinguish fires, of course, The greatest care would have to be exercised In the selection of the perfume for the var. fous city districts, It would never do, for instance, to spray Park Av. enue wth musk, That would of- fend even the gold braided door- men of that region, In the roaring forties there might he a basic alcoholic smell to the perfume---perhaps a dash of bitters and some grenadine for th sake of color, An infusion f brandy might do, especially if the spraying were done after dinner hour, Broadway suggests that something strong and rich be used, even to musk or ambergris, Home- thing heady. On the Lower Kast Side a trifle of onion juice would blend splendidly with the natural perfumes of the section, Mr, Klots is quite serious in his suggestion, He says: "Even the Greeks were aware of the psychological value of perfume, They scented thelr towns by re- leasing doves bathed in priceless odors, to scatter rain of sweetness, Benefit to Nerves "Much of the jar and Jolt the nervous system endures through constant exposure to the city's noises could be overcomes by the soothing Influence of balmy per- fumes, injected into .the atmos. phere from public fountains waft. ed in the air by the garments of women, Every European city has its characteristic and historic per. fume, the soft aroma of its public gardens, "To counteract the injurious of- fects of such fumes and provide real recreation, the public square of the future may be equipped with fountains spraying perfumed wa- tors scientifically compounded to destroy germs, soothe the nerves, purify the atmospheres and calm the spirit of man, Even now wo- man is scattering such balm in of- flee bulldings." ---------- SOLINA NEWS Solina April 28.-~Miss M, Mo Kessock, Oshawa, was 4t home over the week-end, Mrs, Norman James, Mr, and Mrs, Chas, Mason, Donald and Helen, Bowmanville, visited at Mr, and Mrs, 8, BE, Werry's on Bunday, Messrs Jack and Sam Brooks.
