Two years ago, when its treasury ran low, the state saved $15,- ^ r 000 annually by leaving the governor's vV? chair vacant With indications of re- , tnrnlng prosperity a new executive has ^ been appointed. "Tasmania Is a heart-Shaped island •* about as large as West Virginia with many small islets sprinkled about the Indian and Pacific oceans off Its coast," says a bulletin from the Na- ,} tlonal Geographic society. "It lies •boat 200 miles off the southeastern • v "corner' of Australia, of whteh it Is ; a state. "It is difficult," continues the bulletin, "for the traveler in Tasmania today to believe that three centuries •go the state was an unknown spot.; that after Tasman, the Dutch navlga- ,tor, discovered it, no one was particularly interested in it for many y/V. years; that it was first inhabited by black-skinned, woolly-hatred aborigi. *"• »es; and that its largest and oldest city, ft?,: Hobart, now the capital, did not rise Vf" on the southeastern shore until the ^ ' torn of the Nineteenth century. , Famous for Potatoes. "Bight hundred miles of railroads , now speed Tasmanian travelers from 'city to city, and transport its wide variety of products. Good roads radiate from cities and towns into Its most remote spots. The aborigines have gone (the last one died in 1876). Hobart now is a bustling city of 57,000 Inhabitants and covers some 86 square miles. "Once a writer said Tasmania was populated only by gray beards and women, because all ambitious young Tasmanians migrated to Australia. But ride its railroad train* today or take an automobile tour through the Island, and you will find that the assertion is no longer true. The railroads are modern and the roads paved. They pass through valleys, cross plains, and skirt mountains that show the touch of the energy and industry •f youth. "Valleys are blanketed with pink and white blossoms of thousands of apple trees from which are harvested more than 2,000,000 bushels of apples * a year for the markets of Australia, Greet Britain, the European continent, and even Africa. Pears, plums, ' peaches, apricots, and many berries also thrive in the mild Tasmanian climate. Hundreds of square miles are coyered with forests that supply railroad ties and wood for many other purposes for local and foreign markets. Vast areas of gracing land are alive with flocks of sheep from which (pome the state's large exportable «rar- - plus of wool and mutton. Extensive farming areas, particularly in the, north, produce an assortment of vegetables which help to feed the concentrated populations of Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. The northern plains are especially famed as potato fend* No Navigable Stream*. "Tasmania must depend upon Ha roads and railroads for transportation, for none of its many streams are navigable. Bat Tasmania has made ether Me of these streams and plana further development. Here and there water power plants produce the electricity that drives the wheels of the state's varied Industries, lights street* and fcomes, propels street cars, and bring* . - tlie ne*s and entertainment of the world to radio receivers in Tasmanian living rooms. There is so much electric power in Tasmania that Australia, leas fortunate in this reaped, has cw- Mered absorbing some of the current by laying a cable between the island nnd the continent Out of mines, past which tbeae power-producing streams rash to the sea, come inch valuable minerals as tin, copper, lead, ^oal, aad tnagsten. "Until recent decades, Tasmania wm of little interest to the Australia. Now it Is a magnet for eastern Australian vacationists, and has earned the right to be called the *play» gitmnd of Australia.' Its many wide beaches are meccas for Australian pleasure seekers, while resorts in the nonntalns that rise 4,000 feet above the sea, are hosts to equally enthusiastic throngs." CORSICA'S BANDITS AGAIN CLEANED OUT France Takes Drastic Steps to End Menace.

Austria's Lake Scattered through Austria like living jewels are the warm and limpid lakes of Ositnthia, hoary castles and Macs ot tbs country's Paris.--The recent capture of the Corsican bandit, Andre Spada, should end, it would seem, a chapter replete with romance, brutality and exaggerations. For Spada is supposed to be che last of those outlaws who roamed the island fastnesses as "Robin Hoods," friends to the poor and robbing only the rich--tourists excepted-- and defying even the military forces of France. But there have been other captures which have been announced as the downfall of the last bandit, so that Spada's seizure may mean only a temporary cessation of activity. Some obscure lieutenant of bis may now spring into fame. Such has been the course of Corsican bandit history. Code of a Bandit. Opinion is divided on the character of the Corsican bandits. That some of them have been bloodthirsty and murderous is certain, yet they seem to have followed codes of honor and have never oppressed the pooh Their rule, nearly always followed, not to molest the tourist, is held to be, strictly selfish; tourists bring money Into Corsica, they reason, and without money how would the bandit exist? Hence, do not interfere with the tourist trade. A correspondent of the London Morning Post, sent to investigate the Corsican bandit situation, summed op the matter as follows: "Men of Spada's type have a strict code of honor. They never Interfere with the postal services. They never rob tourists. They never kill save for reasons of revenge or self-defense. It may be asked why such men become bandits at all. Almost invariably it Is the result of a vendetta. One man kills another, and to escape the consequences is forced to take to the 'maquls.' From time to time he Is obliged to rob in order to live; but provided he does not overstep himself, his depredations are regarded by the majority of the population wlih sympathetic tolerance." France Geta Susy. Nevertheless, In November, 1931. France decided to end the bandit menace once for all. A force of 600 gendarmes, equipped with six armored motor cars, one motor cannon, policedog units and machine guns, started Inland, while three dispatch boats petroled the coast to Intercept any attempts at escape. Warrants were issued for 500 bandits. For two years the pursuit of Spada and his band has been followed intermittently. Several of his lieutenants were killed and a number captured, and the surrender of Spada himself was a result of this relentless pursuit Now banditry Is again "ended," for ^the time] being at least ^aeuiont With Pay I» Scheme of World Labor Geneva.--The international labor office hopes to soon propose international conventions guaranteeing a complete Sunday of rest and a minimum of 14 days snnual vacation on fall pay for all salaried employees.
