' "Old Dad"--he has either forgot- ten or refuses to reveal his other name--is one of the unique .charac- ters of the southern Pacific. He speaks perfect English and still re- tains some of the qualities of speech and manner that indicate he may have once held a favored position in English society. He was a South Seas trader and either by ship- wreck or some other unexplained reason he found himself stranded many miles from civilization, Apparently content to spend the rest of his days in the South Seas, he chose two native women as his. life companiors and set off in a canoe for Palmerston Island. Hq grew copra and traded in it with passing vessels, never tiring of his iome and occupation, In time. a family arrived, which eventua'ly at- tained the proportions of a tribe Old Dad, the patriarch, has ruled the colony at all times, but his dom mation has been benevolent. Palmerston T-lond was visited re- sently by the f e'ghter Golden Coas* on her last trip from the Unite States to Australia. "We did not know we were so close until we saw a ship's boat com- ing toward us, full of wildly gesti- culating natives," said the wireless operator, C. Dunn, when the Golden 'oast arrived here. I'he Golden Coast slowed down and a rope ladder was lowered for the natives to swarm on board. To the surprise of the ship's company. the first to c'cmber up the ship's side was Old Dad. He was dressed in Khaki shorts, a tattered white shirt, and a home-made straw hat, decorated with the red tail plume f a bo'sun bird, The Golden Coast was the first steamer to visit the island in five vears. A mission schooner visits Palmerston every six months, but it missed the last trip and, in con- sequence, all the inhabitants' clothes were in a sad state of disrepair Old Dad ri. luced several perfect pearls and traded them with mem: bers of the crew for shirts and other articles of clothing. The islanders refused money, saying it was of no value to them, but they were glad to accept food and matches. 'USTRATIA WHEAT CROP UNCERTAIN Yield Is Very Variable in Varicus Districts of Country Sydney, N.S.W.--Yield- of the Australian wheat crop is expected to be extremely variable in different districts this sea..n, and this is due to a wide variety of conditions. Frost damage, the prevalence of black cats and the lateness of sow- ing are all important factors in the situation. For reasons of economy--to avoid4 the use of superphosphate, 'and to reduce the number of workings «-- many crops were sown very carly, and unfortunately early anc early- mid-scason varieties were in many cases planted out of season. As it was impossible to check the growth by feeding-off with sheep on account of the softened condition of the soil during the winter, they had come in- to ear too early, and frost had done some damage. Some satisfactory crops were seen which had been sown without super, and with only two cultiva- tions, after a fallowed crop last sca- son, and these will be payable in spite of the low prices. ; In the famous Gilgandra district hail storms have c.... ed severe dam age. One storm left a track over five miles wide and it could be faced for more fhe twenty miles he crops on some farms were en- t.cely destroyed, the hail cutting off the plants a few inches from the ground as though they had been roughly harvested with a binder. Tne i of CO antimasd e as been es e ot between 14000 and 15000 acres, in which about 50 farmers were concerned. Minor e has been lone on other properties. A notable feature in the' district . the popularity of Nabawa, which i+ rstimated to resent from 30 t. '0 per cent. of the total area un- dcr crop. This ty is she re-. sult of its satis resistance to rust last season in comparison with ying is also oth es. : ting attention owing to its suc- cess in the departmental experiment cess m } Jast in which it topped Dhow amd in four out of six trls.

"A London school teacher told me that most of the. pupils in the classes are 'only' children, "In the new Russian system wo- men were declared, by the comrades, to have the same rights and obliga- tions as men. Accordingly, scienti- fic enlightenment was given and a system of community feeding, pub lic nurseries and maternity benefits liberated her from the hampering lomestic problems. "Some of these women entered ofessions, medicine, the law, en- ginecring. The great masses, how- ever, found themselves in the trades and 1ig industries. There were fac- tory nurseries where the children were dropped in the morning, fac. tory restaurants which did away with the necessity of family cooking and shopping. A model socialistic city of 44,000 inhabitants was con- structed along the banks of the Volga with theatres, elubrooms, res- 'taurants and laundries, Standard- ized living quarters were provided and the adults and children were to be entirely separated. But 10 mil- lion Russian women flatly refused to be 'emancipated' They prefer- red looking after their children, sewing fine seams and making their homes pretty and comfortable. "The twilight of the big family has set in, but the love in a woman's heart that expresses itself in the home and the family will still go on. But somewhere between the slave-driven life of the Mother of seven and the hard, robot-like exist- ence of the Russian mother-worker lies the perfect system. Who will discover it?"

Nova Scotia now has fourteen seats in Cape Breton and ten on the mainland. Under the re-distri- bution, it is assumed that Cape Bre- ton will lose one seat, The unit of representation now is a member for every 44,000 inhabi- tants. The population of Cape Bre- ton Island is about 130,000, entitling the island to three seats. Cape Breton County is entitled to two seats, it is claimed, and ohe sugges- tion is that the other three counties, Victoria, Richmond and Inverness, be linked into one constituency. Such a proposal is not expected to find much favor with the counties affected and the redistribution will present a real problem. Still more difficult will be the problem of the mainland. Halifax, with 100,000 people, is entitled to its two seats, as now. Hants-Kings and Queens-Lunenburg are also strong. Of the others, Pictou with 30,000, Colchester with 35,000 and Cumberland with 36,000 are fairly close to the 44,000 unit. Digby-An- napolis has 34,000, Shelburne-Yar- mouth * 33,000 and Antigoniali-Guys- boro, the smallest of the lot, has 25, 000. "Politicians say that it will be an extremely difficult task to re- adjust ' 1ese present constituencies," savs The Halifax Chronicle, "and they have almost as many sugges: tions as there are electoral dis- gicts, The one certainty is that ~e Breton Island will lose one seat and the mainland will lose an- other." PROHIBIT PAJAMAS AT WINTER RESORT Estoril, Portugal.--Pyjamas as all-day dress have not found favor in this fashionable winter resort but tk.y brought police to the scene, The National Tourist Bureau spent thousands of dollars attract ing tourists to "Costa do Sol". Sun: bathing became a craze and soon the beach was filled with bathers in gaily colored silk pyjamas, The townspeople became alarmed and the police at last had to send the loosely clothed strollers - back to their hotels, with orders to appear in 8 mo SRR in da RHODESIA DINWER HAS ITS TERRORS Writer Tells of Experiences With Insects and Animals . ------ Lond. .--~T¥nirg in Rhodesia in late autumn has terrors of its own according to a writer in "Overseas" "During the first week after the break of the rains, the hour of the evening meal must be a busy one for the recording angel if he is to jot down all the expletives uttered. With the lighting of the lamp, the insect army-corps brought out by the rain advance to the attack. Flying ants--both black ants and termites--enter in a steady stream and make straight for the Ao and the dining-table, and here the lat- ter shed their new-found wings on the cloth as thick as autumn leaves. Beetles of every sort and size hurry to the light with purposeful mien, the most dreaded being those colloquially known as 'stinkers, which, if inadvertently squashed or even touched, emit a foul and nau- seating smell. Moths of every kind come floating silently in from the Bush, some of them almost the size of birds, and specimens of many brands of praying-mantis follow them, "A humming like that of an ap- proaching plane is heard outside, and in zooms a huge rhinoceros- beetle. Once, twice, and thrice round the lamp he swings in nar- rowing circles, and then--with a precision worthy of a better cause --invariably makes a forced land- ing in the soup, splashing half a plateful on to the tablecloth. As the diner rises, another booms in and collides violently with his face Another drift of flying ants sweep in, about half of them land ing on the ho: amp-glass. Crack The long-suffering chimney, al ready standing like a monument over the hundreds of dead, flies to pieces, and the lamp flares up smokily. A hurried blowing saves a conflagra- tion; and the diner bolts, cursing and still hungry, for the safe pro- rection of his mosquito-netted bed 00 AND VENT PRASPECTS WIRE OPTMISTIE NOW Outlcok Is Now Considered To Be Decidedly Encouraging Svdney, N.S.W.--Improved pros- nects in the wool and wheat indus- tries are not all that is desired, but they are sufficiently cncouraging to 'ause considerable optimism in trade ircles, All eyes are on the wheat harvest to be reaped, from which New South Wales, on an official estimate, will garner 50,000,000 bushels, This is the calculation of the marketing branch of the agricultural depart- ment, and government estimates are usually conservative. Though prices ar- moving upward, there will probably be fluctuations, but there 1s every reason of a high- er level, and the real encouragement comes from the world position in regard to surplus stocks, The vis- ible supply of the world's wheat is 200,000,000 bushels less than at this time last year. There is still a large surplus, which cannot be disposed of quickly. But the best factor is that world consumption is much greater than was estimated last year. If the crop in Canada and the United States is below expectations next June, the 1932-33 crop in Aus- tralia should meet a good world market at near normal prices. In view of the present advice and the ~eneral belief that there will be only inconsequential setbacks, a price of three shillings a bushel for the best crop is regarded as not out of the question. In which case the gov- ernment would not be called en to ray the bounty. he situation, however, has again heen reviewed by the ministers of agriculture, and the banks have been asked, for the purposes of the boun- ty, to increase the maximum fob nrice from 3 shillings to 3 shillings 6 nence. The bounty will be paid on wheat and the equiva'znt in flour exported, and also on wheat and flour con- sumed thin the commonwealth. On the basis of 3 shillings a bu- shel, New South Wales wheat cheque, from a crop of 50,000,000 bushels would be worth $37,500,000. Australia's crop estimate is from 125,000,000 to 180,000,000 bushels, and e requirements for home consump- ion about 50,000,000, leaving a sur- plus for export of approximately 130,000,000 bushels. On the foregoing figures, the ex- portable wheat surplus of Australia may be worth nearly $100,000,000. ANGHORY SCHOOL OFF VANCOUVER Fish, Although Plentiful Are of No Commercial Value Vancouver, B.C~La schools of anchovies, ir splendid condition, have made their appearance off the west coast of ancouver Island, and every herring seine has been filled with tons of this fish. However, as anchovies are regard- ed as without commercial value here, they are: dumped overboard as soon as caught. Many hours hive been spent by fishermen in clearing their nets of the anchovies prized in many other markets. Anchovies have made a fairly re- gular appearance off the west coast' each fall for several years, but sel- dom in such large quantities as at the present time. Years ago a de- termined pitemt was made by a British lumbia fishing company to market these fish, as is done in Europe. In spite of exhaustive market re- search and careful experimental packing it was found that the cost of production was too great for the venture to be practicable, Although conditions may have al- tered since the first attempt, there is apparently 3 commercial use be- ing made of anchovies.
