Young Tribesmen Disturbing Kenya Increasing Lawlessness ng" Warriors: Causes Great Anxiety and Gov- ernor of Colony Spends Week-End in Af- facted A-ea INQUIRY IS MADE Nairobi, Kenya Colony=Increasing lawlessness among the young men of fighting age in the frontier tribes, the Lumbwas and Massals, ie causing great anxiety to tho small community of whites in the British section of Bast Africa. Interstribal ~ warfare was threatened following incidents in the territory of these tribes, but was averted by the timely efforts of a sin: gle European police officer. Sir Edward: Griff, Governor of] Kenya Colony, spent the week-end in the affected districts conducting an inquiry, and as a result told the Legis: lative Council that he had received a number of reports concerning the growing temdency of lawlessness on the part of young Lumbwa warriors which was bound to have a disturb- ing effect on the other tribes. The position is complicated by the fact that various farms allocated to white settlers before the World War, with the object of establishinge buf- fer area between the traditionally antagenistic Massai. and Lumbwa tribes, do not now exist, Sir Edward pointed out, They were now oc cupied largely by Lumbwa tribesmen. Sir Edward added he had been fn- formed the younger warriors had been gathering without, the permission of their chiefs or elders, and the results were plainly apparent in increasing numbers of cattle thefts, burglaries and other disorders. Attacks had been made on tribesmen suspected of being informers, Danger. of Clashes A general antagonistic attitude to- wards white settlers was not expect ed Sir Edward continued, but there was a danger Of clashes. on lonely farms and this was causing anxiety. In ogder to prevent the outbreak of further crimeq, extra policemen have been drafted for the Lumbwa terri- tory. A company of the King's African Rifles--native drilled troops | --has been ordered to patrol the Mas- sal reserve in the vicinity of the boundary. The population of the colony Is estimated at 2,736,517, including 12, 520° Huropean or whites; 2,686,848 Africans; 80,583 Asiatics, and 10,657 Arabs; Tribes: on the Abyssinian border and in Jubaland gave trouble even: during the World War, when the complete available forces, official and volunteer, were busy in the Ger- man Fast African 'campaign. § aur i King to Go South Physicians Forbid Him to Re- main at Home During Coming Winter Say Lisbon, Portugal --it was reported hers from. several sources that King | George of Eng heen forbidden: 8 from passing the and may come to 0 newspaper "Diaro Lis- that "some of the King's . Raps Mountie's Report Sergt.-Major Clay Says Con- versions to Christianity Are Few Ottawa missionary enterprise of various sects among the Eskimos of the lower Arctic regions accomplish. ing anything worth while? The question is' seemingly one of some controversy, certain references in a repert of a Mounted Police ser- geant being resented. Father .Du- charme of Montreal who for some years has been a missionary in the far north takes exception to what he construed as an attack wpon Roman Catholics who are carrying the gos- pel to the heathen, Reference to the report however, shows that It refers to no religion in particular. Sergt.-Major Clay of Ches- terfield Inlet dealing with the situa- tion in a report said: "In spite: of the fact that mission- arles have héen established in the dis- trict fcr some years conversions to Christianity are few and those con- verted practice still thelr paganism and hold to their old ideals. They are no further advanced than the primitive Eskimos of the eastern Arctic" Father Ducharme, taking exception to this assertion speaks of Sergt- Major Clay as a "neurasthenic." gy Flying Boat Carries 169 Dornier Flying Boat Stays up An Hour With Largest Human Load Ever Carried Altenrhein, Switz.--DO-X, huge 12- engined flying boat which was launch: ed here last July, made an amazing one-hour flight Oct. 21 with a hu. man load of 169, the first time in the history of aviation that so many per- sons have been carried into the air on any conveyance, The giant Dornier plane took off at 11.16 a.m, and landed just one hour later. The machine flew over Lake Constance, her motors working faultlessly, and landed with her b51- ton load at 12.16 p.m. without a hitch, The DOV carried 1569 passengers and a crew of 10. She had made pre- vious test flights, but this was the first time that so great a load was taken up. The 'flying boat, which may be used for a transatlantic crossing for the purpose of trying out its eapacities, was built in the greatest secrecy, It was designed to carry 40 passengers normally but has accommodations for 100 if necessary. Her engines can develop a total of 6000 horsepower and each engine can be treated in- dividually without affecting Ats neigh- Building Canada Frontier Village Sets Ontario Record With Average of » North Bay.--Bonfleld, a few years ago a little pioneer settlement, now claims to lead Ontario in the number} the | ot children per family, A check just completed by the par- 16h priest shows that there is an 10, children for the 180] t make up fhe village. t ety in Bonfleld as many wars in six months, A locked room fn the dark, contral | citadel of the Afghan capital of Ka- bul, where the usurper, King Bacha Sakao, held forth until driven from the city by Nadir Khan last week, was opened and disclosed the new chapter of frightfulness. The room contained six bodies, ac- cording tc a dispatch' from Allahabad to the Daily Telegraph. One was that of Abdul Majid Khan, brother of Amanullah, whem Bacha Sakao dethroned last spring. Anpther was that of Hayatulla Kban, halt-brother of Amanullah. A third was that of Monamed Usman, | former Governor of Kandahar. The other three bodies were unidentified. The bodies were In a horrible con- dition, the dispatch said, The man- ner In which the six died was not known, although it was recalled that' Bacha Sakao had held royal hostages ' in the fortress and threatened to kill! them unless they paid a large sum and allowed to leave the city peace- fully.

Marketings at country ints remained almost stationary at 1,744,000 bushels and a 150-car drop marked the loadings, which fell to 1,811 cars.

Fail to Discover Macalpine Party Search Planes Report From Bathurst Inlet--Will Explore Shore Winnipeg.--Fallure has dashed back another sally over the trail of Col. C. D. H. MacAlpine and seven compan- fons, lost seven weeks ago in the bar- ren sub-Arctice. Four soaring afr planes, after a 450;mile search along the intended route of the lost miners, reported that no clue had heen found. Two of the plane-quartet were to proceed again along the ice-locked Arctic shore of Canada, in a waning hope that the efght prospectors might have flown off thelr route and reach- ed the north coast. The report that no trace of the MacAlpine party had been found, labelled as a failura the first complete journey over the land between Baker Lake, 300 miles west of Hudson Bay, and Bathurst Inlet, on Canada's northern rim, cial reports from Fort William. Port lists there show no such influx of boats listed as en route light for grain. Ac- cording to the head of the lakes state- ments, three grain boats are under the spouts and as many more are en route for grain loads. * < Ontario Aviators Set New Record Total of 11,500 Flying Hours Since First of May Toronto. -- Figures made available recently show that the Provincial Forestry Air Service flyers have roll ed up a total of 11,600 flying hours since May 1, and have flown over ap- proximately 850,000 air miles, Not a single flying record, . day, week, month, individual or entire force, of past years remains. All have been shattered in the 11,660 hour grind--5,440 hours more than in 1928 --Dbrought upon the force by one of the worst fire hazard years in the his: tory of the Department of Lands and Forests. "This great record has been estab- lished without injury to a singie mem ber of our service personnel or to a single passenger that we from time to time have carried with us," sald the head of the Service. Only two stations of the many from which the fliers battled with the bush fires this season remain open at pre- sent -- Fort Frances and Kenora. While no further hazards are antici pated several small fires were spotted from a patrol out of Sudbury last week, and the service is taking no chances. In most cases, however, the recon- ditioning program of the force is un- der way, and most of the machines that were engaged on detection and suppression work are now at the Sault Ste. Marie base for refitting and over- hauling. ee cena Federal Judge Runyon at a dinnet in New York sald of a millionaire's will that had failed to please: "Last words, if the truth were known--but these things are usually kept dark-- last words often fail to pleases.

RUM-RING HANDED OUT tank in w 'was Island, nd, N.Y, by 1 "Running" Rum Like Gasoline Jaro quite a few problems must not allow them to large, 80 that we lose our | proportion. We all know dren are about the finest and find them a constant source o pleasure. We must remember that we weren't little angels withcut any faults ourselves. So If your sen, when he is in the adolescent po: of becomes a little restless and hard to handle, or your daughter becomes a trifie rebellious, just remember that it is perhaps normal, and that he or she will probably with a little delicate handling, survive it very nicely and grow up to be a very fine man or woman, of whom you will have every reason to be proud. When a child is very young, he goes to his parents for his information; he believes everything they tell him; he thinks they know everything. By and by he begins to get cut and meet other people. He learns things from his school teacher and his Sunday School teacher and his playmates. and neighbors that be never heard be- fore. So he discovers that there are even things about which his parents don't know anything, and his early over-estimation of them is apt to be- come under-estimation. Yet there is nothing very serious about them. In tact, psychologists who have studied this very matter have come to the conclusion that If a child didn't pass through this period of disillusicoment, it would mean probably that there was something seriously. wrong, He would remain a child ,and be unfit to go out and assert himself as he needs to, inthe outside. world. "The troubles of a young boy or girl are just as enormous to them as your own troubles are to you. If you make him your confident, he will come to you with his problems, and you can help him. If he Is ridiculed, o¢ nagged, or treated with undue harsh ness he never will, and the parent that does these things is apt to lose his greatest hold on the boy. To lose one's temper with a young boy or girl, is a sign of weakness that he or she may never forget. He should never be punished in anger. Neither should ha be permitted to be habitually disobedient. Firmness with him in the things he does after he has been told are wrong, is es- sential, and so is team work on the part of bis parents, They should agree on what he is to be taught. If one .tells him he can do something and the other tells him he can't, he fs apt to lose confidence In them both. Proper sleep, nourishing food, and plenty of air and sunshine ,are fur. ther essentials to the development of the young bey and girl They should be served only with good plain foods as far as possible, with vegetables, ebbs, milk, fruit, pre- dominating In their menu.
