The Bri tish N Navy It any further r-prov? of 'the pacific intentions of Great Britain were need- ed, surely it has been supplied by the speech of the "Right Hon. W. O. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Ad- miralty, in urging the adoption of the Navy Estimates. Mr. Bridgeman, who is about to retire after four years of devoted and arduous labors, speaking with authority, He Is a layman, but he has an expert knowl edge of naval affairs. Moreover, he: Is almost a fanatic on the question of international pence, Yet no man has been more extensively--and unjustly ~--blamed for warlike intentions. Mr. Bridgeman was able to tell the House of Commons--and the world-- that no other country has even ap- proached Great Britain in practical proof of a a "desire for peace and a will- | Ingness to disarm. Since the war, she has scrapped 3,810,000 tons of warships of all sorts, and the present building program is ome of replace ment of necessitous vessels only. Be- tore the War Britain had 114 cruisers. To-day she has only 52. Before the War the naval estimates amounted to 24.5 per cent. of the entire national budget. To-day they are only 6.9 per cent, These facts and figures speak for They cannot be denied. They cannot be given any meaning other than that which they obviously bear. The Anglophobes in the Uni- ted States will probably find them a bitter pill to swallow. Bu. fair minded Americans will see in them one of the real guarantees of world peace. A nation that is building for war, with an eye on imminent hos-|%8 tilities, would not do as Britain has done. Britain leads the world to-day in the move for naval disarmament, as she has always done. It remains for other countries which have-made loud professions of a similar intent to t those pr fons by practi cal deeds. Montreal Star. The Bank Rate and Trade Glasgow Herald (Coms.):.

This geodetic method of accurately as- certaining position is called triangul- ation. © What lies between the select- ed points--rivers, lakes, arable lands, mineral lands, roadsteads, harbors, and the rest--must be plotted in by the topographical, geological, or hydrographic surveyor. One of the first duties of the Geo- detic Survey was the running of a net- work of points across Canada in the proximity of the International Bound- ary. In this it co-operated with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey ,and now a geodetic net ex- lantic to the Pacific and up the British Columbia coast to the southern bound- ary of Alaska. While this operation was in pro- gress Canada's industrial develop- ment was rapidly proceeding and rail way, mining and water power enter- prises were entering new areas. This increased the demand for importan' data as to latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes which it is the function of the Geodetic Survey of Canada to furnish. In laying out the program of work these developments were fully considered and surveying was done in different parts of Canada to Canada Geese Increase When Protected Very rapid increase has taken place in the number of Canada geese British Columbia, since this area was set aside for this purpose in 1923.

While custom or co-operative hatch- ing 1s rapidly increasing in this coun- try, there are many poultry raisers who are so situated as to make it necessary to continue the use of the broody hen. Circular No. 70 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa describes a useful nest which may be made from a twelve-foot board twelve inches wide. By cutting the board into three lengths, the top, the bottom and the back of the range are provid- ed. Four pieces of similas board a foot square make tle ends and parti- tions for a three-nest section. When these nests are used for incubation, fronts should be provided made of slats and hinged at the bottom. These doors when open form an alighting board for the hens when the nests are placed one upon another. The circular entitled "Natural Incubator," published by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, recommends placing the nests on an earth floor, but if this is not practicable, it is important to place a moist sod. in.the bottom of the nest and shape out a shallow centre before covering with a layer of cut straw or hay on which the eggs are to rest.

BE a POOR POTATOES HARD TO SELL In potatoes as in other crops it is becoming more and more difficult to dispose of the lowe: grades of stock. In his report for 1927 issued by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, the Dominion Botanist makes the obser- vation that consumers have become keen students of goods of all kinds and are becoming more accustomed to standardization and have definite ideas as to what they wish in variety, quality and price. The demand for better table potatoes, he points out, means that better seed must be plant- ed and the demand for better seed is stimulating the growers to still fur- ther effort in reducing the disease con- tent of their crop and in the selection of potatoes true to type demanded under the variety name under which they are sold. Mr. Gussow reaches these conclusions from his contact with the potato growing industry in the tion se vice related to problems carried on by the Botanical Division. af ee Some msyterious pull makes the sap of a tree rise.

The British and Irak Governments are at variance on about a dozen points, but the chief difficulty is con- cerned with defense. The British maintain that the higher command of any troops in Irak, in the event of operations being undertaken by com- bined British and Irak forces, should be vested in a British military com- mander. The Irakis insist that the command of troops, Including those in which British ground or air forces take part, should be in the hands of Irakis. The Irakis also ask that the pro- clamation of military law should be reserved exclusively to the Irak Gov- ernment, ' Another demand is-that the rail ways in Irak, although built and maintained by the British, should pass to the Irak nation free, and that the land gn which the Basrah port is situated should be transferred to the Irak Government, They object to any part of the expense of the British High Commission being charged to the Irak Exchequer. They submit that the protection of the interests of Irakis abroad should be the concern of diplomatic officers of the Irak Gov- suls. Objection is taken to the judiciary agreements under which foreigners would continue to enjoy privileges equal in some respects t ocapitula- tory rights, . The Irakis ask for absolute inde- pendence in negotiating with foreign powers, and demand the obalition of British control ov.r financial policy in Trak. The most important of the contro- versial points, however ,is the ques- tion of conscription which Irak na- tionalists demand, and to which the British object on the ground that its enforcement would not be possible without the assistance of British Fforces. The British decline to help enforce military service by lending their air force to the purpose, espe- cially as it would mean dragooning unwilling cultivators, mostly of the Shiah faith, into an army commanded by Sunni officers from the cities.

It is, Indeed, probably the best clothing devised since classic Greek times either for men or for women. But we do not often realize that every improvement has been made by appropriating some- thing already originated by men, not by men dress designers, but originat- ed as a male fashion. Short hair, the open neck, short skirits, the loose jumper, rolled stockings, are all good features which long ago were worn by men. A century ago the sailor found it comfortable to loosen his collar and leave his neck free, and so he developed the sailor jumper with its broad, easy collar, To-day In America this is so much a girl's dress, though it has assumed commissioned rank and become a "middy," that most boys would object to wearing it on the grounds that it is girlish. The rolled stocking and the short skirt were long ago invented by the Scot- tish Highlander, who was certainly not a "sissy" person.
