Pive ow airmail stamps wore issued last year by Peru to commemorate the first Interâ€"Amcrican Technical Conâ€" ventlen which held in Lima, the capiâ€" tal cliy, from September 16th to 23rd. This éthivention was sponsored by the Pan Ameritan ‘Union and its purpose was td ‘dizgtu«s proposa‘s for "the accelâ€" eration of interâ€"American communicaâ€" tions" through the promstion of aviaâ€" tion clubs, taurist air travel, cheaper air transport, etc. In at the conference were delegates from the following countriecs: Argentine, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuadar, Mexico, Panâ€" m, Paraguay, Uruzuay, Venezuela, andâ€"curiously enoughâ€"Germany and Itaily! The s‘smps, which range in value from 10 centaves to 1 sol, pictorially span 26 years of progress in Peruvian aviation.

The Wolf The inrocontâ€"looking animal that we pictured on the 10p stamp from Turâ€" koey in Asia is one 0of man‘s most fearâ€". ed and hated enemies.

Despite his sinister reputation and. tho fsar that he has always inspired since the legendary days of Little Redâ€" Riding Hood, the wolf is the most. cowardly of animals. Only when drivâ€" en desperate by hunger, or when traâ€" vslling in largs numbers, will he dare to attack a man. He is every bit as cautious and curning as a fox in avciding capture, and once taken, beâ€" comes a cringinz. cowering creature. S» obsessed are â€"wolves with the fear of bsing trappsd that they will always hesitate to gass through an openi doorâ€" way, preferring to leap over the wall, and unless famished, they refuse to atâ€" tack a tethered animal lest it prove to Deep Snow Responsible for Death of Cobalt Dogs be the bait of some snare!

The animals, it is stated, had been running along the tracks as the local from the North approached, running backward as usual from New Liskeard, and they could not get out of the way owing to the snow along the rails. The accident happened near the right of way Crossâ€" ing.

Canadians should, ncwever, be concerned over what is gcing on in Russia.as it is held up to Canadians as the ideal state.

"Whatever us2 political argumonts may be, there is no argumer* so ussful as quitk use of a gun," he suggesed Communists would have you believe that there were no insqualities, and yet one of the principal items of business zarrizd out by the recens session of the scvernment was to ve‘:s «a‘laries of $60,â€" 000 to two men. ‘That‘s not bad, even in a capitalistic country," h> declared. Communism was to end the days of political imprisonment, which was one of the just causss for against Czarist regims, he said. "Howsever, toâ€" day, the situation is infinitely worse than under any Czar at any time," Col. Drew continued. Every man working on ‘the great pub lic works in Russia toâ€"day was a poli-] tical prisoner, he charged. It was statâ€" ced in the Russian preoss that on the cccasion of the cpening of the great Volgaâ€"Mcscow canal, 50,000 political prisoners were set free as a reward for their good work. There were 500,â€" 600 prisoners who were nct mentioned, he said, and om another project, 10,000 political prisoners were set free.

"But I have never seen man‘s inhumanity to man carried out ito such a brutal extent as it was carried cut in those prison camps in Russia.

Not satisfied with a straizht increase of twentyâ€"five por cent. the attack is so extended as to make the new advance azoly to any additional connections with the God given air.

There is a discussicn raging at presâ€" ent in regard to some pieces of Morse armor claimed to be found near Beardâ€" mcre, Ont. J. E. Codd, of Fort Wilâ€" liam, a wellâ€"known North Land prosâ€" puctor, says th\a.t,' he found the relics in 1931 at Beardmore, Northwestorn Ontaric. He backs v> his contention in several ways and has cconvinced the officials of the Ontario Museum that the articles are genuine. Despatches from Toronto say that the authorities believe what Dodd is claiming. The despatcth reads as follows:â€" despatch reads as follows:â€" Dr. C. T. Currally, diractor of the Royal Ontario Museum, said Norse armor in the museum‘s possession could ba cconsidered "impcrtant" if it was proven the pieces were fcund in Northâ€" western Ontario. Norss schclars agresd the weapons woere genuinely Viking and if it were established that they were found in Ontario, as claimed by J. E. Dodd, Port Arthur, histoery books would have to be altered to the effect Vikings came to Canada before Cclumbus discovered America, the directors said. Mr. Dodd said he found the relics at B:ardmore, in Northwestern Ontario, as far back as 1931. The claim was disputed at Winnipeg by Edward Raâ€" gotte who said he found onz of the pieces while cleaning the basement of LCcodd‘s Port Arthur home in 1928. Issue: Statement Dr. Currelly issued the following statement on the matter: "Abcut a year ago Mr. Dodd of Port Arthur brcught to thr museum the Norse articles under discussion.
