WORKING ON PLANS TO SAVE HALIBUT (By Canadian Press) Victoria, B.C., Sept. 15.--The in- ternational halibut commission still working on plans for the sal- vation of the halibut, one of the most valuable of the North Pacific's food fishes. Investigation and re- search have beem in progress for several years and while the methods of conservation have mot yet beem definitely decided upon, the com- mission has been convinced that the halibut's numbers are declining in an alarming degree. The present supply of halibut, ae- cording to government experts, is being maintained by resorting to new amd far distant fishing banks, by more intensive fishing on de- pleted banks and the use of smaller faced by the men difficulty of educating fishermen to take omly the largest of the species appreciated.

Mention of the purchase of twenty-four new seats precipitated a discussion of the present highly congested state of the King street 8 hool, Mr. Sennett was present and gave the figures of the enroli- ment there. In the first roum there is an Entrance class of, 36, In the second room there are 13, 24, and 6 in the Jr. IV, Sr. III and Jr, III respectively, In the third room there are 33 Junior and 9 in the Sr. II, In the fourth room there are 21 in the Sr. II and 20 in the Jr. II. In the fifth room there. are 12 in the Jr. 1I and 31 in the First book, The sixth and last room js the Worst crowded, having 12 in the Sr. Primer, 48 in the, Jr, Primer and 21 in the Kind- ergartén~Pitmary Deparment, The only way out of the difficulty which Mr. Sennett could see was the transferrance of the Sr. III class of 24 pupils from the King street scho the Dun street school and the engagement of an- other teacher, to take over the new class. One voom- at the Dun- das street sdhool is now unused. The matter was referred to the School Management Committee whi~h was given power to take immediate action in the matter, The question of 'making provi- sion for the future installation of rings and trapezes in the High School gymnasium was taken up. The ceiling is not yet plastered and the necessary appliances can be installed much more easily than they could be later on. The mat- ter was left in the hands of the Property Committee and the secre-. tary wae instructed to write to some firms handling sporting geods and secure prices on the equipment necessary. Skating rinks for the children received some at- tention also. Mr. Larkin advised giving the situation early consid- eration and recommended that rinks be made at the King street and Dundas street schools. Other members favoured a rink in the Town Park. Mr. King said that it would be well to ask the Council to construct the rink. The Proper- ty Committee was instructed to look into the matter and report at the next meeting. There was a rather animated discussion over whether or nto the public. and high school pupils should thawve @ holiday to lattend the Fair at Oshawa. Mr. King said that those who wanted to go would go anyway, and those who did not go tc the Fair might as well be in school. No holiday was granted. There was a lengthy discussion over the fire escape situation in the Dundas street schapl 'but Wo action was taken in the matter. 'One of the councillors stated that the roof of the new addition to the High School is already in a very poor condition. It was point- ed out that this is a matter for the architect to inquire into. It's not what you'd do with a million If riches should e'er be your lot. But what you are doing at present With the pounds and shillings you've got.

A young barrister, conducting his first case, and pleoding drunk: as his client's defence, began his speech: "'Mi-lord and rentlemen of the jury, you all know what it is to be drunk." Steps leading to the Lakeview Park were tion appropriate. Establishment of Zoo at Lakeview Park Possible establishment of a zoological collection at initiated at last might's meeting of the Park's Board. Dr. F. L. Henry, chairman, made the formal sug- gestion that the Board would be highly gratified if some one or more loyal citizens of Oshawa would make a move in this The park already has the beginning of such a collection of native animals in a herd of five American bison, commonly re- ferred to as "buffalo" though bison and buffalo are no mearer relatives tham cows and camels are for instance. Without very elaborate housing accommodation, exotic speci- mens such as elephants, lions, and similar creatures do not thrive in the Canadian climate. A zoo of animals or the temperate zone in general would, however, be considered to Canada FORD ACQUIRES RUBBER PLANTATION Consists of 1 200,000 Acres --Paid $42,000,000 for Brazil Concession New York, Sept. i4.--Henry Ford has purchased 1,200,000 acres of land in Para, Brazil, from an Am- erican hélding that concession for $42,000,000 and intends to use the land for a rubber nlantation, aec- ~ording to a report reaching th's city. If successful in closing con- tracts with Para, the report says, he plans to take 2,800.000 additional acres, : Th's report follows closely on nuhlication of a story in the Braz: fan American of Rie de Janeiro thot Ford was about to invest 350,- 000 centos in rubber cultivation in Para. This publication states Mr. Ford will install 60,000 laborers in Tapajcse and build a railroad across Para. The latter, it was said, prob- ably would be started in two months, Information reaching this eity wae to the effect that a Mr. Villares a Brazilian, interested Mr, Ford in he project through Messrs Avery and McDonald of the Ford organiza- tion. Last De-ember Mr. Ford sent a Mp Ta Rue to Para. He was fol- lowed by several engineers. To Build 1,000-mile Railway Private cables to one of the nego- tiators for this rubber tract prior to the entry of Mr, Ford on the scene stated that it was nunderstoad Mr. Ford had agreed to build a roilrrad from Santarem, Para, to Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, a distance of 1.000 miles. This territory, which lies who!ly within the central plat- ean of Brazil, is virtually withont a ratroan. The territory Into'which Mr. Ford is alleged tg be invading in the in- terest of further production econ- omies in the manufasture of auto- nhies is thiel "with; hardwoods, fibre plants and hevea rubber. Those familiar with this section estimate there are nearly 2,800 types of hardwoods, some of which might be utilized in motor manufacturing, and 100 fibre plants there. The lat- ter, itis said, could he used for cloth and rope. It would serve as a cover plant while the rubber plan- tation was maturing to production. Although at a late honr Wednes- dav night none of the Brazilian em- basey attaches. professed to know anything about the Ford rubber deal, it was said that this situation, was possible in view of the fact that negotiations were carried on with Mr. Dionvsio Benes, Governor bf Pafa, rather than with the Central Government of Brazil. Henry Ford at present has tires for his cars made in several fector- ies. Althourh the financial district from time to time hears he plans to swit~h these contracts over to one company. Mr. Ford has no such in- tention. He prefers to distribute these orders to insure a steady sup- p'v. This distribution also made easier his change from standard fibre to balloon tires as part of the equipment of the new car.

TOTEM BUILDING ART VANISHES (By Canadian Precs) Campbell River, B.C., Sept, 15.-- An Indian art that has all but van- 'ehed is being revived here by Chief Joseph Smith, one of the few re- maining totem builders of the Coast tribe. So far as known there" are only two or three Indians living in Brit- irh Columbia who have mastered the totem building art and Joseph is one of them. He lives in a mod- erately furnished house of his own building on the fringe of the Camp- bell River reservation and in his garden he has built several totem poles. They are not for sale, he savs, "By and by maybe I sell some," he #1id. But he is determined to huild a sufficient number so that even if he does sell some of these picturesque symbols of Indian cul- ture there will be plenty left to adorn his village. The totem poles. most of them carved images of crows, salmon. bears, wolves and 0 on, each figure being symbolic of an Indian family's household diety. The sight of the dilapidated totem poles of former gencrations near the old Campbell River reservation stirred Chief Smih to revive the to- tem art. For years he has been a master of it, but not until re-ent- Iv h2s he made a serious attempt to replace all the poles sold or otherwise removed frou: their ori- had not shown up. ginal 'native location.

Many of the well-dressed women and men who foregather nightly at the green baize-covered gaming tables are really gambling for stakes of the heart and not the puiwe, they say. The games of chance in whicl: they indulge, sometimes reck- lessly. are merely a means of kill ing time. They await with greaier anxiety the turning of wheels of the divorce courts of Paris than they do the roulette wheels of the Casino. On the tables they place sums of money, but in documents filed in Paris courts they have placed their emotions, and they are far more concerned to win there than hers The stakes are high here, at times. the income tax experts calculate that between $50,000,000 and $200,000,000 was risked on the de- cisions of gaming instruments here last year. The divorce lawyers point out that regardless of the amount of the pecuniary hazards of the gaming tables here, larger stakes are being played for in the Paris courts. When a distinguishedly-gowned woman nonchalantly rakes in a pile of bank notes shoved toward her by a deft croupier, she oftimes wishes it were a decree of divorce she were receiving. the lawyers say. And when a gentieman in evening othe: loses a few thousands, he frequently wishes it were an up- vapted mate that the croupier"s rake was taking away from him. Fear of the publicity given for- eigners sceking divorces fin Paris helps to account for the popularity of the gawing tables here, the law- yers say. The Casino at Juan-les- Pins reported $70.000 profit last year, while the Casino hele, always 2 lodestone for Engli-h people, re- ported a gross return of -2.000,- 000 during the same time. Proof of the desire of divor » seckers to "hide out" is seem in the number of queries re eived by provincial lawyers askins for infor- mation about ideal spots for hbus- bands and wives to be properly se- parated with undue publicity bLore- dom.
