Many Manitobans have contribu- ted to this collection. But most of the credit is due the late G. Shirley Brooks, former curator of entomol- ogy at the Museum. Mr. Brooks envinced an interest in insect study from his early boy- hood in Hastings, England, He car-y ried the interest throughout his years as a railway clerk, but until his retirement in 1936 was unale to devote full time to the study. At 65 he was appointed curator of entomology, and until his 'death last fall he devoted all his time to enlarging the Museum's collectiom, He made annual trips to the Hud- son Bay port of Churchill, Man, where -- contrary to popular belief --great numbers and varieties of butterflies are to be found. This is the habitat of "The Canadian Al- pine," the Dominion's most import- ant butterfly. Not even the British Museum possessed a specimen until Mr. Brooks submitted one. His large collection" enabled him to exchange specimens with collec- tors all over the world. Beautiful finds from South Africa, Borneo and Sumatra are evidence of this trading and have enriched Manito- ba's collection. During his years as a collector, Mr. Brooks observed tI once plentiful species peared from parts of the prairie 'This he attributed to the increasing- ly dry climate.

The underwriters say they are ac- cepting war, illness of any member of the Royal Family, or the diver- sion of the battleship Vanguard to other duties in the event of an emergency, as legitimate risks and issuing policies accordingiy. yd's agent in Sydney told a reporter that his firm would not accept insurance of this kind from gamblers who wished to bet on the tour being postponed but only from people who would suffer financial loss from the postponement. Sydney columnist David McNicoll quotes the rising insurance costs as a fair indication of the possibility of war. Minister in charge of the Royal | tour, Senator John 'L. Armstrong, has told Australians they would not be expected to buy special clothes if invited to functions at- tended by the King and Queen and Princess Margaret Rose. Their Majesties' tastes are sim- ple, and those in doubt should wear | their best Senator. But tailors in all cities say men are rushing to have formal morn- ing suits made specially for the occasion. They have warned their customers to order now if they ant their suits in time for the t. They have also told custom- ers that the prices they are quote ing to them now may have to be adjusted before the suit is finished. They anticipate a rise of up to 60 per cent for tailored suits when the removal of the government sub- y on wool begins to be felt in ee or four months.
