Give Them A Livelihood Nearly 500 ndians, deprived of a large part or their income through the decline of the muskrat catch in recent years, will benefit from the conservation plan. Embracing 475 square miles south of the Saskatchewan river and immediately west of the Mani. toirasaskatehewatt boundary, the district a few years ago annually produced a crop of more than 100,- 000 mnskrat pelts. 1n the last trap- ping year, 1936, only 7,000 pelts were taken. Since then no trapoing has been permitted. Enough In Four Years It will require {our years tor the scheme to reach maturity. During the development period Indian game guardians will be hired to protect muskruts from poachers.

Individual liberty is threaten.ed from more quarters than one, Out in Saskatchewan the Association of Rural Municipalities is asking that a curb be put on reliefees wishing to marry: at Brantford, Ontario, a move is afoot to dis, franchise reliefoes at municipal elections; no wthe suggestion comes from Guelph that persons on relief stand reddy to giv‘e biooa donations "to taxpayers who are mayor-ting you." The latter recommendation smacked so much of asking re- liefees "to pay with their blood" that Minister of Welfare Hon. Erie Cross immediately stepped on it, denounced the proposal as “un- thinkable." WAY BACK WHEN: You may be- lieve that Mussolini's scheme to get Tunisia and Savoy away from France is of comparatively re- cent origin-that it was cooked up, perhaps, with his pal Hitler after the latter got the jackpot at Munich. Not at all. ll Duce has been scheming just such a scheme for twenty years'. He set up the cry for Tunis and Savoy 'way back in 1919 when he was an obscure Jour- nalist writing for "Popolo d'ltal HITLER IN THE BALTIC: Last week saw one of the that steps taken toward domination of the Baltic region by Germany when Hitler purchased the island of Kotka from Finland.

Anthony Eden resigned as Foreign Minister of Great Britain in pro- test to the Government's policy of continuing to appease the dicta- tors. Capt.

A general election in the Dominion seems slated for the latter part of 1939. What is to be one of the main issues? Answer: Canada's participation in wars on other than Canadian soil. Right at the mo- ment, nobody is just exactly sure whether it is possible or impos- sible for Canada to remain neutral in the event of a war in which Great Britain is involved. Due to the Quebec isolationist attitude, this question is likely to be a hot Immigration into Canada in 1938 increased to 17,244 persons from 15,101 in 1937, according to a report for the calendar year is- sued by the immigration branch at Ottawa.

Doctor’s are puzzled over the strange occurrence, but admit that it is quite possible that the needle AFTER THE DEATH OF DON JUAN Br Syivin Townsend Warner Don Juan, Lady-killer No. 1 of the 18th century (remember reading about him in Byron's poem?) was kidnapped by the Dev- il, so the legend goes, and spent the rest of his eternal life in Hell. Miss Warner. one of the first- rank writers of 1939, refuses to believe this story, suggests that Don Juan instead of remaining in Hades, came back to his native Spain to plague the dusty nobles of his castle, the lusty peasants of the village. ' . The unexpect- ed return of Don Juan after his reported death throws them all in- to a dither. . . . Readers of "After the Death" will see in the tale a parallel to contemporary Spain.

For-all good newspapers are edited especially for their local readers. News of your friends and neighbors is needed along with that of far off places.

Skirts Become Much Shorter Paris Collections Show Gener. ally Yoykfid Line In It can be stated generally that the new silhouette for spring is molded and youthful, with skirts about 17 inches " the floor and flaring at the hem. There is a prevalence of shirt- maker dresses in wool, linen, eob. ton and silk, usually cut with pleated panels and showing a vari- ety of detail work. Clear colors, preferably pas- tels, have edged out most of the sombre shades. Especially popu- lar are lime-green, natticr blue, sun-yellow and rosewood. Gay prints feature flower mo- tifs in soft spring shades. Polka. dots are tiny in surahs, medium.. sized on crepe, and become large pastilles on musiins and organdies. Period Style- The two period lines featured in most of the new shows, are 18th century and romantic. The roman.. tie period is reflected in gowns with tightly fitted bodices and flowing skirts adorned with pan- els, “ounces and rut-hing, often accompanied by evening capes in Chantilly lace. _ -_r-...- It takes more than "just a salve” u bring relief.
