France, has attracted atten- tion by building ten five-storey a- partment houses to be occupied only by families in which there are child- ren. The apartments are unusually attractive, and the rents are less than a thousand francs a year, which is cheap. Now that the way has been pointed out, other French cities are planning to follow the example of Puteaux. For more than a ‘hundred years the Chinese people have drunk no milk because a Chinese empress who was tender-hearted and thought. it u mean trick to deprive calves of their nourishment issued an ediet against drinking milk. The Chinese have now begun to use it again, but it. will be a long time before there are cows enough in China to supply milk for all the people. FACT AND COMMENT at the Canadian Pacific dock at Liverpool, England, are as perfect and speedy as any in the world. As will be seen from the picture above of future Canadian citizens boarding the “Montcalm”, the travellers pass from the street and railway station levels to waiting rooms on the THE facilities for handling outward bound passengers dock side, and crossing the bridged wharf, board the ship by the saloon deck where they are received and assigned to quarters.

'l‘he Council of Ambassadors which is the medium through which the allied powers exercise such con- trol as they still have over affairs in the small states of Eastern Europe that. were born in the dissolution of the Austrian and Russian empires, has tinally decided to.award the city of Vilna and the surrounding region to Poland. There has never been much doubt. that that would he the outcome of the matter; )artly because Poland was determined to keep \‘ilna. and neither Lithuania nor the allied powers were in a po- sition to use the force that would have been necessary to drive the Poles out; and partly because France which, it must be remembered. is at present predominant in European politics, is interested in strengthen- 1113 Poland to serve as a butl‘er state between Russia and Germany, and has no particular' interest in Lith- uania.

FLORIDA’S CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN AWAKENED THE DURHAM CHRONICLE : trespassing upon the property at the railroads. The Putnam Lumber Co. had leasted the prisoners convicted in Leon County, and in the case of 'l‘abert the willingness of his family to pay the fine assessed against him for “stealing a ride” on a freight train did not suffice to release him. Instead, he was confined to the prison camp and, according to the testimony of his associates, among them John 'I‘. Gardner, now a soldier in the regular army. he was beaten to death by Walter Higginbotham, the guard. Gardner himself was a runaway hey who was captured and sent to the peonage camp. He. saw 'l‘abert lying face down in the mud being whipped by the guard until the skin was literally flayed t'rum his back. The mere recital of the circumstan- res in this caseâ€"Taber was the son ut‘ well-te-do parents and his crime of attempting to ride on a freight train without autlun'ization is not eonsidered a Serious mortal ”(fence in this centuryâ€"pictures a situa- tion which for sheer brutality has seldom been surpassed in this coun- try or elsewhere.

The training of the young birds of this breed may he ('Ulnlllellt't‘d at the age of three to four months. but before undergoing actual training. it is advisable to submit them to a few preliminary flights in the immediate vicinity of the pigeun loft SO that ”my may be able to familiarize themselves with the topography of the surrounding country. After this, on a bright. clear day, the birds should be taken a short distance from the loft in a covered basket. preferably to the top of a slight eminence, and then re- leased. 'l‘his should be repeated day by day at continually increas- ing distances and changing direc- tion. In order to train the birds to immediately enter the loft on re- turning. they should be kept slightly hungry and a little grain scattered on the loft as soon as they are re- leased.
