Are Busy Plowing Kingston. -- The weekly re- port of the Ontario Department of Agriculture for Frontenac County states that fully sixty per cent. of the plowing has been done. The new seeding of grass looks well and many of the old sod fields are being plowed. The present indications are that the amount of land plowed will equal that of 1930. Struck By Car Perth. -- When she attempt- ed to cross Gore street, near Craig street, Frances Noonan, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Her- Noonan, was struck by a car driven by Lawrence Fagan. The little girl got out of her father's car and ran directly in the path of Mr. Fagan's car. She was taken to a nearby store, and medical aid was summoned. She was afterwards rushed to the Memorial Hospital where it was revealed she had suffered a com- pound fracture of the jaw. Her 39' Simcoe N.

Patients Transferred Kingston. -- About one hun- dred patients from hospitals at London and Toronto were trans- ferred to Rockwood Hospital on Tuesday. They were brought to Kingston via the Canadian Na- tional Railway, two coaches on an afternoon train being reserved for them. On arrival at Kingston Junction, the members of the party were conveyed to Rockwood in four busses. Was Seriously Burned Peterboro. --- Mrs, sidney Fairbairn, North Monaghan, was seriously burned on Tuesday morning by an explosion of gaso- line while she was cleaning clothes, and her home on the highway south of Springville, was destroyed with all its con- tents. Mr. Fairbairn was work- ing in the yard when the explo- sion occurred. When he reach-. ed the house flames enveloped his wife and had spread with the blast throughout the kitchen. With great difficulty and danger to himself he succeeded in res- cuing his wife and in putting out the flames that. burned througn her clothing. Appointed Court Clerk Napanee. -- Fred Carscallen has received official papers from the Ontario Government appoint- ing him as clerk of the First Di- vision Court of the County of Lennox and Addington, and will assume his new duties on the first of the month. Mr, Carscal- Ine succeeds G. L. Paul, whose resignation was tendered to the Government some time ago. The latter held the position since the aeath of his father, the late A. E. Paul. THE CRABS' MARATHON Twenty-nine years ago a series of experiments was started to study the migration of the finny and shel- ly inhabitants of the Red Sea. A number of crabs were marked and returned to the Red Sea, One has just been recaptured in the Mediterranean, The distance cover- ed was 101 miles, so that, if the crab had made a non-stop crawl, he would have moved -- sideways, of course--at the dizzy speed of twen- ty-two inches an hour. All kinds of sea creatures useful for food purposes.are marked now adays and their wanderings watch- ed. The marking, which is painless, is usually done by means of tiny silver discs. The value of the ex- periments is inestimable. It was in this way, for example, that it was discovered where the infant palace had their nurseries, and by protect- ing these, the value of the North Sea as a food storehouse has been enormously increg\d. Britain alone requires 200,000 tons of fish a day.

Bancroft, professor of the depart- ment of physical chemistry, Cornell University, predicted at the opening here of the Congress of Anaesthet- ists, Retaining consciousness, though his senses would be deadened to any pain, the patient thus would be able to co-operate with the physician during the operation, Penn Bancroft said. Presentation of papers by Dr. W. N. Kent, General Hospital, Vancou- ver, B.C, and Dr. Bancroft, marked the opening of the Congress, Dr. Kent reported on the actual cause of deaths under anesthetics, which heretofore were attributed to the increase in the size of the thymus gland in the neck. The enlargement of this gland, Dr. Kent said, was the result of its efforts to keep life in the body. The actual cause of the deaths, he said, is the involution of the adrenal glands after birth or a disease which become so diminished that the patient is living on an adrenal reserve just short of sustaining life, but which succeeds for a time with the aid of the thymus gland. The anaesthetic, he said, has a profound effect on the adrenal gland and those patients lacking the ne- cessary adrenal cortex may have their lives snuffed out as the flame of a candle. * With this information before him, it was pointed out, a physician could guard against deaths under an anaesthetic by an artificial in- crease of the adrenal reserve before the operation, It was said that X-ray treatment of the enlarged thymus gland would eliminate any danger of death by what formerly was considered the greatest cause of fatalities under anaesthetics. He said the adrenal reserve could be increased by feed- ing the patient a soup made-of the cortex pr outer portion of the gland. Dr. Kent said no child should be anaesthetized for a ton- silectomy until an X-ray examina- tion was made of the child's thymus gland to learn if adrenal cortex ex- haustive was present, Englishman Deplores Cruelty In Shipping of Worn-out Horses London.--~Brig.-Gen Sir George Cockerill signing himself as "Mem- ber of the Executive Committee of the International League against the Export of Horses for Butchery" writes to the Manchester Guardian as follows: "The grave apprehen- sions connected with the intermit- tent traffic of horses between the Argentine and Europe have been increased lately by reports of a new traffic inaugurated between Canada and France. As far as I am able to ascertain four cargoes of horses shipped from Canada were disem- barked at Le Havre between June and October this year. During the voyage of ten days one horse died of pneumonia, but 140 were duly landed. These animals were carried between decks in filthy pens, par- titionless, in which I am informed as many as 12 or 14 were tightly packed. Some were wild bronchos from the prairies. Three were total- ly blind, while 16 were very lame and in great pain. Two were ser- iously injured and one subsequently died after suffering increditable torture , Many if not all had been savaged, four severely, two were partially paralysed, of which one was in a dying condition, suffering from terrible abscesses." General Cockerill makes similar allegations against Argentine ship- ments and urges immediate action to control the traffic. Not Through Quebec No horses destined for butchery in Europe are being shipped through Quebec ports, according to Innes, secretary of the Cana- dian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who stated this morning to The Star that these old and diseased animals are being United States ports. "Horses used to be collected at Longueuil for this purpose," Mr. Innes said, "but we put a stop 'to the practice because there is no doubt that the poor animals suffer- ed terribly in transhipment." "Our societies all across Canada are trying to trace the exact method of shipment of these Western horses," he explained further. "We know that they do not leave Cana- dian ports,- but would like to know what route they actually do follow so that we could ask American or- ganizations to aid." Montreal. -- An automobile owner, who lent his car to a friend who subsequently was in collision with a pedestrian, was relieved of all responsibility for the accident by a verdict of a jury of the Superior Court which is now confirmed by Mr. Justice Surveyer. After hearing the evidence in the action taken by James. Maitland against Paul Lacoste, driver and Paul Davig- non, owner of the car at the time of the accident, the jury decided that the fault lay jointly with the pedestrian and the car driver, Maitland sued for $10,000 for injuries suffered when he was struck by the automobile while crossing the street at Sherbrooke and Jeanne Mance streets, In sup- port of his claim, he declared that the chauffeur had failed to give proper signals of his ap- proach and had failed to obserye other traffic regulations: : In defence the driver said that the pedestrian had thrown hime self in front of without warning, having started from which he had just stepped. The owner of the car submitted sible for the accident because he had merely lent his machine to his friend, who was a careful and experienced driver. the the machine: to retrace his steps to the curb that he at least was not respon- |g. Auto Owner, Who Lent Car to Friend, Not Liable for Mishap { pedestrian and driver were both at fault. The damages suffered wer assessed at $6,500, of which $2,500 were the pedestrian's own fault. A verdict was therefore rnedered against the driver for $4,000 and the amount has now been confirmed by the presiding Judge. Britons to Gather Scientific Data London.--In the cause of Science five Englishmen are to spend a year of their lives in one of the coldest spots on the globe. In May, 1932, the expedition--con- sisting of . three scientists, a mech- anic and an observer -- will set out for Fort Rae, at the northern end of the Great Slave Lake, in Canada. They will form. part of an inter- national, scheme of 'research in which fourteen countries will take part. - Their task will be to investi- gate the phenomena of the north. « The expedition will proceed by the ordinary trade routes for part of their journey, but once into the wilds they will have to take their supplies by hazardous trips in In- canoes along fast ¥4owing riv- ers "We shall be cut off completely from civilization," said a member of the expedition to a reporter recent- In deciding the case the jury |]y "It is well mows that the age round the North Pole is not the coldest in the Northern Hemisphere The 'poles of cold' are in Siberia and North-West Canada, "The temperature at Fort Rae is likely to reach about 100 degrees of frost, so the chief danger we will have to guard against will be frost- bite. "During our stay our diet will consist chiefly of tinned meat, evap~ orated milk and pemmican, and our best means of travel will be by dog- sleigh. "Fort Rae has been chosen as our camp because of its high magnetic latitude, the north magnetic' pole be- ing in Boothia Island, on the north coast of Canada.

CITY TERRIFIES CHIEF OF INDIANS First Trip to Vancouver Is Enough for Descendant of Warriors Vancouver, B.C. -- Less than a hundred years ago the Haida In- dians in their long black war canoes came down from their villages on the Queen Charlotte Islands and spread terror in the region now oc- cupied by Vancouver. But when Henry Edenshaw, 65- car-old son of the late chief of the aidas, came to Vancouver recent ly the situation was reversed. The noise and activity of the city terri- fied the Indian. He was eager to return to the peace of the Queen Charlottes, Civilization, however, is not a new thing to Edenshaw. For twenty six year he has been a lay reader of the Church of England and he attended the general synod meeting in Toronto, Like many of his tribe, Mr. Ed- tnshaw is a "white Indian." While his face and hands are dark, he roll- ed back his sleeve to show an arm as light as that of any white man, He explained that the origin of the Haidas has never been settled, but that they are very different from any other North American In- dians, His father, the late Chief Eden- shaw, is the hero of many incidents which have come down in the his- tory of the Pacific coast. He is credited with being largely respon- ible for establishing peace between his warlike people and the whites. Mr. Edenshaw is a quietly dress- ed, quietly spoken man. Black coat, dark grey trousers, a gold nugget as a tie-pin and another as a watch fob, because he likes "natural things best." It is hard to realize he is just one generation removed from Indian warfare and bloodshed. His mission work has included assisting in the translation of three of the books of the Bible into the Haida language. Conditions among his # people aren't so good as they have been, but they'll manager, he says. "They can get all the fish and game and wood they need free and pay no taxes."
