Viewâ€" ing the factory from the open doorâ€" way, he remarked on the neat and efâ€" ficient layout. It was explained that since the products of this factory must compete with those of other manufacturers, every care must be exercised to prevent waste of time, effort and material. The factory was organized to give steady employment to blind women and come what may, no effort will be spared to accomplish this. It is true that a small subsidy must be provided to augment wages to the blind, and sighted assistance must be furnished to fetch and carry, also for inspection work on the garâ€" ments in order that no flaw in maâ€" terial or workmanship may be overâ€" looked. The various processes in the factory were described. First, the many bolts of cloth in the neatly arranged stockâ€" room, next the cutting table where blind girls, assister by a sighted attenâ€" dant, were busily engaged piling layer on layer of cloth, seemingly without end. At last the layingâ€"out operation being completed, paper patterns were laid on, material marked, patterns removed, and that thick bed of cloth passed under the rapidly moving and ;E;nost invisible little cutting knife. e parts of the garments thus cut were assembled, and passed to the gir‘s at the sewing machines. These machines are arranged in rows and belted to a line shaft driven by a large electric motor. To operate, the blind girl places her material in poâ€" sition to start the seam and when all 4s ready touches a small foot lever, and whirr! the cloth is drawn forâ€" ward, guided by deft and sensitive Industry For Blind Women.

There are, indeed, some things that no constitution can stand. No human constitution can stand the everlasting violation of Nature‘s laws, the laws of health. It can‘t stand very long turning night into day. It can‘t stand very long constant drugging, o# overâ€"stiinulation in its many forms, such as is supplied by tea, coffee, whiskey, cocktails, and other drugs. It can‘t stand irregularity in sleepâ€" ing, eating, and recreation habits. It can‘t stand constant dissipation or excesses of any kind.

If you are a discerning tourist and appreciative of law and order, fair prices and justice to all, you are thankâ€" ful that the British government is in control. _ Otherwise you would have had to deal with Turkish officials at the custom house, on the railways, etc., and you would have been deprived through exorbitant fees of many pounds with which you can now inâ€" dulge in a little extra expenditure. You have not been in Palestine twenâ€" tyâ€"four hours when you realize with what a beneficient, fair, liberal and just hand the British administration manages the country‘s affairs. It was Sir Herbert Samuel‘s office to institute a government for Palestine when he assumed the office of High Commissioner on July 1, 1921, upon the ending of the military administraâ€" tion. What kind of government was it to be? In a measure the nature of the government had been fixed by the mandate, which neither Great Britain nor the High Commissioner had the power to amend. The duty of the manâ€" datory power is to execute the will of the League of Nations.

Mayo district is situated in the eastâ€" ern portion of Yukon and may be roughly defined as the watershed of upper Stewart River. Stewart River joins Yukon River 72 miles south of Dawson, and Mayo is situated 180 miles above the mouth of the Stewart. During the summer a regular service to Mayo is maintained by the White Pass and Yukon Route, conecting with the Yukon River steamers. Keno hill}, the important mining centre of the disâ€" trict, is 42 miles northeast of Mayo. Practically all haulage between the mines and Mayo is done by sled in the winter, and ore shipments are piled at Mayo to await the opening of navigaâ€" tion in the spring. lishment of such a goyvernment as will facilitate the development of a Jewish national home without prejudice to the civil and religious rights of nonâ€"Jewish communities. r Fourfold Character of Government. In 1919 the deposits on Keno hill were discovered and staked, the Yukon Gold Company immediately purchased the original claims and formed a subâ€" sidiary company, Keno Hill, Ltd., to operate the property. In the winter of 192021 this company saipped 2,150 tons of ore having a silver content of 60 per cent. At the same time a 100â€" kilowatt steamâ€"power plant was inâ€" stalled on Duncan creek with a transâ€" mission line four miles long to the property. In 1921 Keno Hill, Ltd., acquired the Sadieâ€"Friendship group on the western slope of the hill, and Treadwell Yukon Co. entered the field, acquiring a group of claims adjoining the Sadieâ€"Friendâ€" ship property. During the winter of 1921â€"22 Keno Hill, Ltd., shipped from its original claims 3,100 tons of ore having a silver content of 224 ounces per ton and a lead content of 60.5 per cent. The first lode mining in Mayo disâ€" trict was done in 191213 when the Silâ€" ver King deposit was opened. This property was worked continuously unâ€" til 1917 when the ore shoot became exâ€" hausted and the property was closed down. Exact figures of production are not available. During the winter of 1914â€"15, 1,180 tons of ore were shipped having an average content . of 270 ounces per ton and 31 per cent. lead. In 191516 the tonnage shipped was much larger but the grade of the ore was not as high. During the winter of 192223 both companies were shipping ore, the proâ€" duction being 8,700 tons from which smelter returns are not yet available, but this ore is expected to average over 200 ounces of silver per ton and 50 per cent. lead. 50 per cent. lead.

In the practical carrying out of this principle and the other articles of the mandate based thereon the governâ€" ment of Palestine assumed a fourfold character, to wit: The central government (British). Local selfâ€"government (Jewish or Arabic, depending on the nature of the particular locality). Church or communal governments (Jewish, Moslem and Christian). The Palestine Advisory Council for Legislation. This scheme of government recogâ€" This scheme of government recogâ€" nized, first, the existence in Palestine of separate Jewish and Arabic units, namely villages, colonies or cities, that had nothing in common with one anâ€" other, and each of which could not live any other communal life except its own; second, the establishment of three independent religions, whose creeds and practices had to be respectâ€" ed and protected by all; third, the necessity and importance of giving the inhabitants, as a whole, a quasi nationâ€" al government, at least in so far as participation in general legislaton and the common welfare were concerned. This plan seemed to promise the best results, as it enabled each racial, naâ€" tional and religious group to develop its own traditional and historical culâ€" ture, civilization and religious pracâ€" tices without interfering with one anâ€" other.

The property, however, has been closed down for the present and work has been started on the Sadie Friendship vein. On this deposit both companies are at present engaged, and workings have been carried to a depth of 300 feet without sign of diminishing values. Treadwe‘ll Yukon Co. is at preâ€" sent driving a drainage tunnel to tap the vein at a depth of 500 feet. This deposit will probably produce a much greater tonage than the original disâ€" covery on Keno hill. In accordance with Article‘II of the Mandate all religions are granted abâ€" solute autonomy, there being a total separation of Church and State. The Moslem religious courts have excluâ€" sive jurisdiction in matters of personâ€" al status of Moslems and deal with marriage, divorce, inheritance, wills and cases involving poverty dedicated to religious or charitable purposes. The nonâ€"Mosiem communities have jurisdiction also in matters of marâ€" riage, divorce, alimony, wills and inâ€" heritance, and the judgments given by the religious courts in these matters are executed through the executive ofâ€" fice of the\clvil courts. In addition to these rights the courts of Christian communities have exclusive jurisdicâ€" tion in execution and confirmation of wills, in matters of personal status when all parties to the action consent to their jurisdiction, and over any case involving property dedicated for re ligious or charitable purposes. The development of the district has been greatly retarded by high mining and transportation costs. ‘The latter have been considerably reduced by the introduction of the caterpillar tractor, and the former will doubtless be reduced when concentrating plants have been built. Plans for these are now being considered. As the district is still in its early stages further disâ€" coveries of highâ€"gradoe ores can be exâ€" pected. At the present time only highâ€" grade ores can be worked as there is not sufficient tonnage in sight to jusâ€" tify the erection of a smelter and ores have to be shipped 3,000 miles or more to smelters on the Pacific coast.

This amount does not include forest fire losses; it is made up of materials producâ€" ed from the natural resources of Canada and of goods paid for by the earnings of Canadian labor. There is absolutely no reâ€" turn for the amount, and only new construction and new manaâ€" factures can take its place. An unfortunate phase of the fire loss last year was the largely increased proportion of farm fires. The premiums paid to inâ€" surance companies last year on this class of risk do not suffice to pay the losses, the actuali loss being 127.76 per cent. Residenâ€" tial losses in smaller communâ€" ities without fire protection amâ€" ounted to 81.08 per cent. of premiums â€"collected. It will be readily seen that no insurance company can carry on business on this basis. The public have the remedy in their own hands, however. _ Practically all such fires as the above are due to neglect or carelessness. Either this fire loss must be reduced or a higher insurance rate be paid. It would appear to be the cheapâ€" er solution to stop this drain upon Canada‘s natural and creâ€" ated resources.
