Although they. were strictly "in camera' an outline of the work done was given The Canadian Press. ' The census-taker is not only oc- cupled with accurate recording of past events, but gathers a wealth of detail on, present happenings and often can thus predict the future. When it is realized that each Caun- adlan has a miniature biography, embracing descent, birth, death, marriage, religion, finances and working conditions recorded on a series of graph forms, that each and every detail must be correct, that duplication must be avoided, and that a maximum speed is to be at- tained, the work which goes into the undertaking will be visualized ' Forms, schedules, records of all kinds were piled high on the little hotel table. Earnest-eyed and in- tent gentemen pored over them for {hours under the guidance of Mr. Pelletier. And in addition an in- struction book covering 100 pages of matter, explaining in detail the workings of each cog in the ma- chine was intellectually digested and absorbed. ' The province of Quebec is the first to be organized for this, the seventh Canadian census since Con. federation. 'An added difficulty, inherent to Quebec, is the fact that all enumerators must be bi-lingual and that instructions at the con- ference had to be given alternately in English and in French, Bi-lin- gual formulas are used throughout Canada but thelr usefulness is par- ticularly apparent in this province. When on June 1st next the enu- merators go forth on their informa- tion quest they will follow tradition. al footsteps. Each will know that some three hundred years ago Can- adda mobilized a smaller group for a similar mission, for although the expansion of census-taking methods has been particularly rapid and evident in recent years, our country was the first to take a complete nominal census in the modern ac- ceptation of the term, all of which precedes about 135 years the spread of similar endeavors in Eu- rope. Particularly emphasized by the Dominion Bureau representa- tive in a short lecture which pre- ceded the formal meeting was the traditional aspect of the census. He sketched the very MHeginnings in Babylonia--3000 years before Christ = down through China, Egypt and other ancient countries, through King David's famous enu- meration, the Bible being the au- thority for the statement that it is supposed to have roused the ire of the Almighty, a sometimes-flicker- ing tradition as witnessed by a lapse of 600 years from William the Conqueror's Doomsday Book to the first Canadian census of 1666, and culminating in the enumerative achievement which it is conldently hoped will mark the year 1931, STRANGE TRIBE OF INDIANS FOUND Reside on Remote Island in Gulf of California Mexico City.--~A strange tribe of Indians, believe the pelican created the world, who worship the sun and moon, who gamble habitually, auc- tion off their marriageable girls, and who destroy their weak and deform- ed offspring, has been found on Ti- buron Island, 200 miles south of Ari- zona in the Gulf of California. The Indians are the almost forgot- ten remnants of the Seris tribe, who numbered 30,000 at the time of the Conquest. Only 164 are alive to- day. After a revolution in 1749 in which they were involved the Span- ish viceroy exiled them to Tiburon, three miles from the Sinora mainland keeping their blood pure and keep- ing others off their island. Colonel Juan Masturzi, Italian ex- plorer, and Mme. Titayna, a French writer, arriving here from a perilous sojourn on the island, declared that the Seris tribe still lives as savages, do not have houses, eat much raw meat, wear only skins and in some cases loin cloths for covering. They live outdoors in all weather and are tanned to a deep brown, looking much as do the Patagonians of the Argentine. The average height of the males is six feet. They hate white people be- yond all reason. Colonel Masturzj/ says that several years ago an ex- pedition sent to the island captured two boys who were taken to Mer- mociloo and educated in the hope that when they returned to Tibur- on they would begin the process of civilization . there, but when the youths returned they were promptly killed. When a girl reaches maturity there is a grand celebration to advertise her readiness for marriage. Her fath- er then accepts bids which ranze from 100 to 150 pesos (between $50 and $75) depending upon the girl's beauty, The youthful males, who for the most part are pearl divers, have to work long and hard to col- lect that much monev to pay for their bride, There is no potable water on the island, and the tribesmen have to tap a water-giving cactus in order to drink, They have an amazing love of gambling, games on the seashore sometimes continuing for days dur- ing which time a loser ofter gambles away even his wife's shoes. The favorite game is called "yaceoucan- sha" and is nothing more than a form of the old. shell game. Four hollow stalks are used, a bean being placed in one, the idea being to pick the three empty stalks, HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS (Experimental Farms Note) Hardy herbaceous perennials provide some of the most useful planting material for the improve- ment of home grounds. They do well in any deep, reasonably .rich, well-drained sofl; and require less care than annuals. Each spring, after the pants have become estab- lished, manure should be applied and dug in. It is always advisable' to cover the plants with 3 or 4 inches of straw, leaves or boughs as soon as the ground freezes in autumn. This is sometimes un- necessary in well-sheltered posi- tions, or where the groupd is well covered with snow all winter; but is always a wise precaution. 'It is possible, by judicious selection, to have bloom almost continuously from early spring to late fall. In choosing herbaceous perenni- als for planting in Eastern Canada, it is advisable to select only those which are sufficiently hardy to do well. A great many have been tested at the Experimental Station, Charlottetown, during the past twenty years. The following are some of the most desirable, and are arranged according to date of blooming: Arabis alpina; Bleed- ing Heart; Longspurred Columbine; Iris, varieties Ambassadeur, Afters glow, Crusader, Lent A. Willlamson and Opera; Foxglove and Sweet William, both of which are best treated as biennials; Pyrethrum hy- brids; Dictamnus; Common Paeony (Paeony officinalis); Oriental Pop- py; Chinese Paeony; varieties Fes- tiva Maxima, Mons, Jules Elie, and Felix Crousse; Lilies, Regale and Tigrinum, Delphinium, Monkshood, Spiraea ulmaria flore pleno, and venusta; Phlox, Miss Lingard, Sel- ma, Antonin Mercle, Elizabeth Campbell, Gruppen Konigen and Rynstrom; Helianthus hybrids; Golden Glow; Speedwell; and Per- ennial Aster. The following have been found to do well in partal shade, but should never be planted so near trees and shrubs that they may suffer from lack of moisture: Forget-me-not, Bleeding Heart, Lily of the Valley, Foxglove, Trollius and Monkshood. ---- CHICAGO PRODUCE FUTURES Chicago, March 26--Prices were considerably firmer on yesterday's egg market, Receipts were more or less in line with those of last yar, but this seemed to bring about some encouragement in as much as con- sumption of eggs is known to be on relatively better basis.

Shary rallies followed on all future options with best prices ob- tainable at close, In line with im- proved inquiry for most grades stor- age butter this morning's quotations advanced fractionally.

CANADA'S LEVEL NET The precise level net of Canada as adjusted by the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, comprises about 25,000 miles of pre- cise levelling.

Miss Glen pre- sented a generous programme Of French-Canadian and North Am- erican Indian songs from the col- lection of Dr, Marius Barbeau, of Ottawa. "Miss Gleen has a pleasing voice and clear tone," says The Yorkshire Post, 'with wonder- fully sympathetic expression which was particularly revealed in the Indian songs from British Colum- bla and in the numbers which she sang in native style with drum accompaniment, the unfamiliar rhythm being most skilfully hand- led. Notable among the latter were a lullaby 'Nadudu', and 'Hano', a dirge, which was sung with poignant effect, intensified by the 'uncanny' tones of the drum, "From such artistic wealth it 1s difficult to select special items, the contrasts adding to the charm, but the French-Canadian 'Sainte Marguerite," with its simple, un- affected plety, and the joyous galety of. 'Laliphtou' deserve spec- fal mention." Nominated As Moderator Gananoque. -- Rey. C.
