A despatch from Ottawa saysi-- The next decennial census enumera- tion takes place in June, 1021, and already the department is making preparations for it. In the last census 9,703_-enumerators were employed, and next year the number will prob- ably be greater. Appointments to this work in. the" days of political patronage proved an easy way for members of Parlia- ment to - discharge political obliga- tions, but hereafter it will probably| be handled by the Civil Service Com= mission, ~ Those who object 'to the complete: to abolition of political patronage point to this as an example of how the new system. often works cumbrously. While the member for the constitu- ency, 'would' appear to be the' most suitable personjo whom to apply for information as to suitable men, that is now expressly - forbidden by the Civil Service Commission AE ay though his recommendations should be non-partisan. = The Commission must hunt out its own men without reference to. the \ representative in Parliament. ©. The old rate of paymen' for the work varied 'according ton local con- ditions, the general rule being that the enumerator got 5 cents per name with 25 cents for each farm, although where the country was sparsely popu- lated kewas usually paid by the day. te Flag of Zion Floats ok From Palestine's Marine | A despatch from New York says: -- The first vessel of Palestine's con- templated merchant marine hoisted the blue and white flag of Zion and was renamed "Hec-holutz" (The Pion- eer), at Jaffa recently, the Zionist or. ganization of America has announced.

A despatch from New York Saysi-- Three-quarters of the world's popula- tion have been affected with Spanish influena, which is now dec to be the same disease as the sleeping sick- ness, and a serum has been found to cure. both, according to reports to- day. Experiments are being carried on here and in Paris. 'Simultaneously with the receipt of word from Parijs that a serum had been made by Dr, Charles' Folley which would curé both influenza and sleeping sickness came a report from Bellevue Hospital that a preliminary report had been issued from Mount Sinai Hospital of the probable isola- tion of the sleeping sickness germ. To produce & serum to cure thel encephalitis lethargica, as the sleep-| ing sickness is known to science, it would be necessary to segregate the ~of the disease, as Serums are made. from the disease germs them. selves, the live germs in the blood being killed by the injection ifito the blood of the dead bodies of the 'same germs. The germ of Spanish influenza. is said to have been isolated, but né perfect serum is kndwn to hie been ced. Dr. Folley, in Paris, produced thes serum for the of sleeping sick- ness without isolating the encephafl- tic lethargica germ at all, but by us- {ing germs of inflienza, which led him to assert that ytie two are twin dis| eases and caused by the same germ | under different conditions. The same serum with which te cured many cases of influenza was found equally effective in curing sleeping sickness. ~~ This theory of y en ou French Tiger i Out of Polities 7 'A despatch from Parlg says: ror mer Premier Clemenceau left.
