Press)--'Canada has a fairly extensive textile industry, there are a considerable number of mills in the country, and I do not know whether it is a very wise thing for manufac- turers to rush over with their mach- inery." This opinion was given to the Yorkshire Post by a leading man in. the heavy woollen trade of York- shire. He said the new Canadian tariff would kill the trade of his own district, "I do not think--although the Can- adian mills may not be equipped very well--that it requires whole mills to be moved," he added, "and I am very much afraid that the same thing may happen in Canada that has happened in this district, and that Canada may become over-machined. In fact, such a state of affairs would be created far more easily in Canada, because here is no export of textiles from Canada, and everything produced has to be consumed in the country; and manufacturers there will cut each other's throats as thoroughly as has bee.. done in this country, . The advantages of the new tariffs to the Canadian manufacturers were enormous, the informant went on. Mills had taken on a new lease of life, and the prospects, unless the Government changed very quickly, were good, providing Canadian manu- facturers would extend the range of their production. . He did not think that Canada, es- pecially during the first year of the operation of the new tariffs, would be able to keep the low class goods of the heavy woollen district entirely out of their market, and the extent to which finally such goods would be kept out also depended to a large degree on the extent to which Can- adian manufacturer was able to pro- duce goods of a similar type. . Iu this respect the Canadians had many difficulties to meet. The lay-out of the Canadian mills was excellent-- much better on the whole than in this country--but the impression he had gained from inspecting the mills was that they were badly equipped with machinery, much of which was not adapted to make certain of the cloths exported from Yorkshire, and that experience and craftsmen were lacking. Until Canadian buyers had seen what domestic manufacturers had to i I i COMING TUESDAY -- Lois Moran --ine #THE DANCERS" These Outstanding Featurettes ARTHUR & HAVELL 'Grantland Rice Sportlight in--""MARRY OR ELSE" "SKY HIGH FROLICS" Fox News Evenings Except Saturdays 15¢ offer them after their patterns came out in January, it would not be pos- sible to gauge the effect of the new duties. on the Yorkshire trade, but it was bound to be serious.

Market and Business Con- ditions As in the days of the great Em- pire, "all roads led to Rome," so to- day can it just as truthfully be said that all roads lead to Life Insurance. Almost every type of investment has been put to severe tests in late years and has been found wanting in some respect or other. Ever since "black Thursday" of 1929, when the huge tower of speculative investment began to crumblé, just about every type of investment has been meeting [acid tests.--tests of strength; tests of stability; tests of integrity of management; tests of honesty of trusteeship-- and almost every one has been found wanting. 'With records clean from the stand- point of honesty, integrity, fair deal- ing and perfect trusteeship after many decades of astounding growth all investment roads are leading to lite insurance. From every import- ant angle, the institution of life in- surance has met every test and has never been found wanting in a single factor. To the seekers of high interest rates, the truth of the old adage, "as interest increases, safety decreases," has never been so apparent as in the last year, and the trend of invest- ment is more than ever before in his- tory in the direction of the conser- vative; therefore, in the direction of life insurance. All high interest seekers and all out-and-out speculators have been badly burned at their play, and thous- ands who were in the market are now sadder but wiser seekers of a more conservative investment, with a guarantee of absolute safety for their remaining funds, Life Insurance always keeps its premises, and life insurance, though never beiore appreciated as such by the public, is an investment, Slowly but surely, the trend is in that direc- tion as a solution of economic pro- blems. -- mmr ---------- Hollywood Beauty Capital of World Samuel Goldwyn Has No Trouble Selecting Pippins for "Whoopee" Howmany beautiful girls are there in Hollywood? Rumor says millions, and every traveller to California re- turns with - stories about how the tray-girls in cafeterias and the sales- girls in ten-cent stores in the movie capital are most beautiful girls he has ever seen--all because every pretty girl goes to try her luck 'in Holly- wood. But Samuel Goldwyn, producer of "Whoopee" which comes to the New Martin theatre on Tuesday says that there are only five thousand beautiful women in the whole movie capital. He ought to know. In selecting the cast of "Whoopee", assisted by Flor- enz Ziegfeld, the world-famous glori- fier of the American girl, Mr. Gold- wyn, personally inspected .every girl in Hollywood who had any preten- sions to beauty and arrived at the above number.

Yet, also take it from Mr, Goldwyn, the rest of the world is tar worse off. "It used to be sAid," he says, "that New York was the beauty capital of the world. Foreigners are always a- mazed by the high average of beauty to be found on New York streets. Maybe it was so once, but now, af- ter combing both New York and Hol- lywood for beauty, I am convinced that the beauty capital of the world has moved to California, There are more beautiful women proportionally in Los Angeles and vicinity than in any other population centre in the world. Just what this means is to be seen in "Whoopee" since its selection of beautiful girls is the result of hunt. ing the nation over for the loveliest that could be found.

Hitherto the Governor- General has acted as High Commis- sioner. The situation here is not the same as in other dominions where British high commissioners serve, such as Canada, for instance, where the high commissioner deals with trade matters. Here the change will make the separation of South Africa from the crown dependen- cies of Basutoland, Swaziland and Bechuanaland complete. The Union has long wanted ad- ministration of these native terri- tories as closely identified with it as possible, though the three are protectorates under the Britigh Colonial Office. Hitherto the col- onjal office has acted through the governor-general of South Africa, in his capacity ag high commission er of the British Government. Now the duties involved are transferred to the separate high commissioner. A clear explanation of the sitia- tlon was given by General Jan Smuts in the assembly three years ago. "It is to our interest," he said, "to have the native territories as closely identified as possible with the policy of the Union, and it Is much easier to carry out that vigwpoint if you have the same per- son to deal with the native terri- tories and administer them through the Governor-General than it would be if the British Government had another person to be their mouth- piece in regard to the administra- tion of native territories." Sections of opinion in South Afri- ca declare the change has destroy- ed all hope of bringing these terri- tories into the Union. On the oth- er hand, the natives of Bechuana- land, at least, do not want to enter the Union, All native opinion throughout Basutoland, from the Paramount Chief downward, is strongly antagonistic to any sugges- tion of 'incorporation in the Union of South Africa. The natives still wish to remain "under the King's blanket," as they stated in 1909 and 1919, when there was fear among them of such a step being taken, and they sent deputations to the King. Chiefs and headmen in Basuto- land, are most emphatic in express- ing the fear that such a step would be the first move for their country to be thrown open to colonization by the poor white class of Kuro- peans and that under the Union law they would not receive the same consideration from officials that they are receiving now. It resolves itself into another de- velopment of the whole African white vs. native question.

Believe it or not the word "Whoopee" which is the title of the Samuel Goldwyn-Florenz Zieg- feld musical smash coming to the New Martin theatre for 4 days starting Tuesday, is hundreds of years old, instead of being the newest of modern slang, According to Dr, Frank Vizitel- ly, editor of the New Standard Dictionary, "Whoopee" was used by Shakespeare and has always been an exclamation showing ex- citement and urging others to cut loose and have a good time, He says that the word first came to New York from the West where it had always been part of the fam- ous cowboy yells. Appropriately enough "Whoop- ee" is laid in the Wild West and is full of cowboys, larlats, ten-gal- lon hats; pinto ponies and forty- fives. Its opening scene shows cowboys and their girl-friends galloping madly along in a cloud of dust, yipping out the cowhoy yell which was the ancestor of the picture's title. When the word got to New York, it became part of the fam- ous phrase 'making whoopee" which is the title of one of Eddie Cantor's songs in the picture, taken over from the stage version of "Whoopee." No body knows who first invented the phrase, although a famous Broadway columnist in- sists that, whoever invented it, he was the man who made it as popular as it was---and is. "Mak- ing Whoopee describes something that was never described before, and so it has become part of the language, Peopie who ought to know say that it is impossible to make whoopee in stag company---that there must be ladies present be- fore whoopee can radily be made.

SOUTH AFRICA FENCES OFF STATE DIAHOND AREA Diggings Are Guarded From Illegal Prospectors Johannesburg, South Africa, Jan, 17.~--~Remarkable precautions are being taken by the South African Government to prevent illegal pros« pecting for diamonds in Namaqua- land along the coast between Alex ander Bay and Port Nolloth. An area of about 12 square miles at Alexander Bay has been fenced in with barbed wire entanglements more than six feet in height, and police patrols and brilliant search- Hghts keep guard over the State diggings there. Further action is being taken by the Government in its fight against prospecting gangs trying to dig for diamonds illegally and it is stated that the authorities are about to erect similar barbed wire entangle- ments over 50 miles of that part or Namaqualand between Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth. It is under stood that the new fence is to be erected three miles from the coast and the whole area of 50 miles by three miles is to.be patrolled by armed foot policemen. , The erec- tion of the fence has been rendered necessary, it is stated, because the police patrols at present watching this vast area of diamondiferous ground have been unable to prevent illegal prospecting on a large scale. A Johannesburg business man who recently returned from a visit to Namaqualand is quoted by a newspaper interviewer as follows: - "Diggers have formed themselves into gangs, all of which co-operate with one another in evading the po- lice. These gangs are equipped with lorie¥ and fast motor-cars. Scouts are gent out to locate the position of the police patrols, and, acting on the reports of these scouts, the gangs of diggers move off from their encampments by lor- ry and make for the diamondifer- ous coast line. Te scouts maintain, their watch upon the police patrols, and warn their comrades as soon rols discovering the illegal prospec tors. "By these methods an enormous | number of diamonds are being tak- en out from very rich portions of the coastline between ~ Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth, The diggers work below the sea level on the sands and in caves which have been found to be particularly rich in stones. The police patrols have been concentrating their attemtion' on the caves, with the result that il- legal prospectors have found it very dangerous to try digging there, but the whole coastline is diamondifer- ous and all that is needed is a small sieve and a shovel. "It sometimes happens that the police patrols - appear before the' gangs have a chance of getting away unobserved. The diggers, however, avoid arrest for illegal prospecting by burying their shov- els and sieves as soon as their scouts give warning. The diggers are then arrested for trespassing, but the fine for trespassing is neg- ligible compared with the fine for illegal prospecting and compared also with the big profits to be ob- tained by illegal prospecting. "The attitude of the diggers to wards the police is surly, and {if it onee should happen' that a shot is fired in Namaqualand, there will be a conflagation.

See~ ondly, I will, Thirdly, I am."--Man- chester News. entirely against the decision to ap- point a separate high commissioner, Lord Buxton, a former high com- missioner and governor-general, makes 'the point that the natives in the three territories concerned who have learned to look to the repre- sentative of the King as their pro- tector, will now be compelled to look to g representative of the Brit- ish Govérnment. They will not un derstand the substitution of a new loyalty for the personal loyalty to which they are accustomed, and if they do come to understand, the change will affect their outlook un- favorably, Lord Buxton may be right. But surely it is not quite correct to say that Sir Herbert Stanley will not be a representative of the King. As delegate to the Imperial Government he will hold the King's Commission and repre. sents the King, though somewhat less directly. Sir Herbert Stanley's conncetion with South Africa dates back to 1910, When Lord Gladstone was appointed Governor-General of the Union, Sir -Herbért Stanley accom- panied him as Private Secretary. Returning later to Britain, hé came back. with Lord Buxton. After six months, however, he was appointed Resident-Commissioner of Southern and Northern Rhodesia, then under the Chartered Company, an office he filled for three years. After this, in 1918, he returned to South Africa as Imperial Seeret- ary under the Governor-General (Lord Buxton) In the capacity as oq New Martin Today and Monday All Technicolor Drama "MAMBA" A Dramatic Thrilling Romance With pi" | JEAN HERSHOLT ELEANOR BOARDMAN "RALPH FORBES Comedy "Discontented Cowboys" Starting Tuesday 4 Days Novelty FRR a8 there is any danger of the pat- TIRE tu i i Vv § "First realize my.
