PRISONER IN CORK LIVES IN STYLE Fine Service Is Given in Dublin.--There arc very few peo- ) troublous times who do not think with a cer- tain wistful envy of the jail-bird in his cosy padded cell (although : In these cold winters when, thanks to the bene- fits of science and the fact that there is plenty and more than ing to go round, more expensive than ever--this envy is not mis- NEVER WASHES FOUND IN ASIA of Unique Race of People Odessa.--In the heart of Asia, between Ching and Mongolia, lies) the mysterious country of Urankay, for some time after the Chinese re- volution without a ruler. Today -it is one of the Russian Soviet Re- publics under the name of Tuvim, or Tanu-Ola-Land. In pursuarice of their policy of colonization, the Russian authorities have instituted a thoroughgoing scientific investiga- tion of this district, known to be tremendously rich in natural re- sources. Commissioned by the Soviet Gov- ernment, the Russian explorer Minzloff recently travelled through this country by way of Irkutsk, and t..¢ provinces of Jenissei, .and from there to Grinkorievka, an outpost of civilization, where post and tele- graph cease to be. From here the journey was continued on horseback over very difficult terrain through a wild and imposing landscape, In a fertile wreen valley, Minz- loff discovered a great number of large round huts covered with felt. One of these contained a fire-place with gloWing coals, a heap of rags and a few wooden drinking-vessels. Nothing gglse. Before the entrance he saw 'Several creatures crawling about in filthy rags, in gesture and appearance exactly like apes. These people 'were the Sojots, whose children go naked. The laws of their religion forbid them to wash as long as they live, and their wives may never enter the water further than their knees. The Sojots are nomads, calling themselves "Tuba" after a stream which flows through the Minussim country. They do not bury their ¢ ad but lay them to rest in moun- tain caves. The entire funeral cere- monies consist in placing little ba'l- shaped rarven images in a bark- basket suspended from a pole in the cave, When one of their magicians dies, the ceremonies are more elaborate, for these holy men must not be al- lowed to come in contact with the soil, and are raised upon heans of dry branches. Near the viilaze of Atamanskoj, there is one of thr hill of wooden branches, dedicated to the spirits of the dead supposed sacred places of the Sojots; a vast | bushels wheat, valued at $8,883, 794 to United ngdom during November. Of this total, 8,713,- 684 bushels were shi United States, 9,145,03 adian' ports. ; In the four months of the cur- rent crop year the exports of wheat show a comsiderable gain, while 'flour exports in the same period were lower. y Barley exports during Novem- ber were 74,801 bushels, valued at $313,933. The corresponding figures last year were 1,129,468 and $509,763. h Exports of oats totalled 1,528,- 634 bushels with a value of $444,748. Last year.the figures were 1,364,700 and $512,284. Exports of rye totalled 504,716 bushels, valued at $172,272. In November last year exports were 742,391, valued at $383,749. GM. OUT TO BANISH WINTER GRIEFS Engineers Pray for Forty Below to Assist in .. Experiments Regina, Dec. 16,--The whole West will follow with interest experiments that are to be con- ducted here by General Motors to overcome cold weather start- ing and operation difficulties even. under the most rigorous winter conditions. With all the intensity, and vigor which char- acterizes its operations, the cor- poration is out to . abolish the trials and discomforts that come from starter troubles, frozen pistons, = congealed. lubrication and other trials and tribulations of "¥0 "below", It's another step in the Company's customer re- search activities that have been such a feature of its operations in Canada during recent months, The public has expressed a good many 'wishes and desires in its answers to Geperal Motors Pro- ducts of Canada questionnaires and many of thelr suggestions are incorporated n the 1933 models, but on nothing has there been greater unanimity than on the plea for sure starting in win- ter weather. So General Motors is praying for the bitter gales our by Can- {fathers tell us about when cold wag cold and thumanity never really thawed out until midéum- mer. On January 9, Dr. H. R. Wolf, from General Motors Research Laboratories in Detroit, will are rive in Regina with an experi- mental party of technical experts via [to conduct' a series of tests with a 'number of cars in sub-zero weather. In the meanime, a special labortaory will be fitted up in the Regina Plant and the necessary scientific apparatus will be 'assembled. Two years ago, General Motors conducted a ser- ies of tests here to determine the essentials for easy car operation. in the middle of winter, the necessary things to make an automobile function no matter how low the thermometer. Much of the new apparatus has been devised since then as a result of discoveries arising out 1930 tests: With Dr. Wolf's party will come a number of specjally- equipped 1938 cars from the Oshawa factory--a Chevrolet se- dan, a Pontiac sedan, an Olds- mobile 8 sedan, a Buick 867 and a Buick 887. These cars are all for general cold weather testing purposes and, in addition, there will be an Oldsmobile 6 and a Buick 857 specially-equipped for a study of automatic choking in relation to cold sweather opera- tion. The test cars will be run on the Regina-Moose Jaw Road and 40-below 1s desired to make the experiments a success. Regina was chosen for these cold-weath- er starting tests not because it was thought to be the coldest place in Canada. but because of the possibility of combining low temperatures with good roads. W. J. Davidson, secretary of the General Technical Committee, General Motors Corporation, De- troit, and George W. Garner, chief engineer of General Motors of Canada, Limited, at Oshawa, will come out here in February to check over the results, PASSENGERS AND CARGO ARRIVE CHRISTMAS EVE Montreal.--Loaded with pas- sengers, and merchandise which will arrive just in time to be dis- tributed as Christmas presents in the West Indies, the, Canadian National Steamships Hner "Lady Somers" from Halifax via Boston will reach her terminus, Kings- ton, Jamalca, the Christmas after leaving a season- able cargo at various other ports en route. She: If you try to kiss me, I shall scream!" He: Not with all these people about, surely?' | She: Well, let's find a quieter spot, then! of the, day before Top-Hat Episode Causes Ban on Huge U.S. Abuse 'Washington, -Dec. 16. -- The motorized Government of the motorized United Statés is ap- parently not so efficient and economical , as some officials would like citizens to think. The trouble seems. to be that too many officials, including Cabinet officers and lesser employes, use the motor cars provided for them by the Government on pursuits of pleasure and purely personai pre-occupations, charging the gasoline and wear and tear up to the taxpayers. So the House Appropriatiors Committee has written into the Treasury and Post Office De- partment Appropriation Bill a stipulation that no Federal funds for the maintenance and opera- tion of Government cars shall he expended for use of the cars in other than official business. And the stipulation specifies that "of- fielal business" does not include transportation of officials be- tween their homes and thelr of- fices nor the transportation of themselves or their wives to and from their social engagements.. This ig a sad blow to the smal! army of officials with Govern- ment cars. They've ridden high, wide and handsome at Government expense ever since the war, Cars Used by Wives As Postmaster Brown testified the other day before the House committee, these cars have long been used by wives of the heads of departments "In making tuerr official calls and performing their official duties, which are very considerable." It seemed 'unthinkable to him and other high officialg that the social oc cupations of these families should not be deemed 'official busi- ness." But the Congressmen, driven by the depression-ridden constituencies are not likeiy to relent. 'And this same Postmas ter-General Brown {3s one of the major factors in causing the cam- palgn against the soclal use of Goverment cars, If he had not testified that he persuaded 1ne committee last year to approanr:. ate funds for a larger car than the one first provided" because he could not sit in the smaller car with his top hat on--a story which has, of course, been car- ried by the Press services 0 every hamlet in, the country -- the chagces are that the cam- paign against the private use cf Government cars would nov have burst full force as it has, Fun Poked at Brown Postmaster - General Brown. while relating thegincident of "us difficulties with the small car and his top hat to the committea, sald: "We were greatly disturh- ed." They are probably far more "disturbed" now, Editgrials on the episode have piled" up In mountainous profusion, some of them poking fun at the Cabiner officer, who is President Hoover» chief political adviser, but all of them carrying at least an un- dertone of seriousness. ; Typical of. them is the editori- al, entitled, "The top hat and the limousine," which appeared in the Washingtori News and other Scripps - Howard newspapers.. "Get ready for the ironic shafts that will be hurled in Coggrass and the Press 'about Walter Brown and his top hat, and the limousine the Government just had to purchase in order tha: the necessary clearance might he secured and the dignity of office maintained," the editorial says. Taxpayers Meet Crisis - " 'We were greatly disturbed,' testified the Postmaster-Cener- al," the editorial goes on. "But the crisis wag met, as usual -- hy the taxpayers. The incident is more significant than merely as a subject for the :irounialily in. clined, for it typifies an era that is gone, so suddenly gone that few of us yet arp'able- fuily to realize that ticker-tape and niay- boy mayors, changel swimmers and yachting parties, Wall Street brokers and holding companies are no longer the elements that make up America, "The Government limoneing ig a symbol, It 1s one of those two cars which we wera told about in every garage. Yester- day it was 'the thing', and none 20 bold as to challenge it. To- day it is a matter for national criticism, And none so rich as to do it reverence."

Not every institn- tion for punitive restraint, however, is run according « the most up- to-date hotel standard. It is true, the world would doubtless be bet- ter off if, at the expense of the State, some of the gentlemen who made and have unni.de "prosperity" should be kept under lock and key fed upon champagne suppers and provided with plenty of pocket- mczey for the movies. This would doubtless be less expensive than letting them run the financial mach- inery of the world, One of the most delightful prisons we know is that in the city of Cork --the Irish town with the inverse whisky name. In Cork's model prison, "service" is the motto of the management, Everything is done to make the client comforta- ble and he has litc.. lly the service of the entire institution at his com- nd. In short he is made to feel at home. Not without a touch of irony is the davs of intensified foreign tourist traffic propaganda, that the city of Cork should be seriously considering advertising 'the special attractions of their one de luxe prison. For at the moment of writ- ing there is only a single guest in the entire establishment. He, however, has things in style, having at his disposal a prison di- rector, 12 employees, a prison chaplain, a physician and 30 guards. There is scarecely a King, a Prince of a Nabob, to say nothing of a Nawab or a Gaikwar( not to men- tion the Man in the Iron Mask and Richard-the Lion-hearted in Durnstein) who have cver enjoyed such beautiful service, care and con- sideration. as this Irish Mick in the County of Cork. "The prisoner of Cork sounds almost like the title of a Ballad, or a beggar"s opera by Gay. Unlike his more resplendant compatriot, Oscar Wilde "in his "Ballad of Reading Jail," prisoner of Cork has little or nothing to complain of, no hallucinations, no horrors and no hangings. He is only sitting there quietly for a few short weeks for having drunk a ve. - great deal and being found in a highly incbriated condition. For his special diversion and morning constitutionals, he has the freedom of 500 other' cells, to- gether with their adjoining rooms, in the same establishment. Like all travellers, the prisoner of Cork is never satisfied and he has been known to complain to the thanagemient, consistirix of a prison committee of 5 magistratory per- sonages, that too much kindness and attention were making him lose his taste for the simple things of life. And more and more, he felt the need of getting back to lature, . How very ungrateful of him this is may be judged from the fact tliat, if he were put up b+ the State at the swellest London hotel, say the Savoy, with a 1933 Rolls-Royce and a suite of 10 servants, .his ex- penses would not be greater than they are in his lonely retreat in the quiet city of Cork. : Happy, happy Cork! The Police Court in that fair city of noble re- nown has recently taken to throw- ing open 'its- doors, at least once a week, on a Sunday. This was shown to rule over the surrounding dis- trict. Every Sojot who passes must add his twig to the pile, or- else hang a piece of cloth on it. On the banks of the Tair he foui.! hundreds of natives washing the sands of the stream for gold. The biggest nugget he saw on his visit weighed 404 prams. Every evehing the workers delivered their 7old to the owner of the elaim, who paid them 3 Rubels and 20 Kopeks for 4% kilograms. In the Bank of Minsinsk the owner himself re- ceives only 4 Rubels and 70 Kopeks for the same quanti In Saldshak, Mimzloff was re- ceived in audience by a blind chief- tain who, with his wife, sat on silken cushions in a tent in" the midst of which there stood a tripod stipporting a fire of coals. The chieftain wore a blue garment and a Chinese cap, with blue-glass but- tons; his wife, a fur head-dress and many necklaces of pearls. A beard- less Lama knelt, murmuring prayers above théir holy books. About 55 years of age, the feat- ures of the chieftain were brutal and cruel. Later the Russian's party learned that his blindness had come from drunkenness. He served his guests with a milk-like tea-soup consisting of tea prepared with salt, fat and milk. Minzloff also discovered a Sacred Grotto in which every Chambo- lama, the highest dignity of their church, Iras to spend an entirc year in. solitude, before entering upon officc. Food and water are placed bv the Sojots at the foot of the cliff. 1{@he withstands this test, he is cofidered worthy to acsume his duties, However, it often hap- pens that in a very few days he takes to flight in order to escape from.
