As for the third question, we must study what effect the seasons have on the efficiency of certain epidemics and how the tempemture and moisture ot the air influence the effectiveness of microbes. During the summer epidem- ics of the higestive organs, like dysen- itery. Cholera and others, have “he 'best chance, while in the winter-time infections of the respiratiory organs are to be preferred.

On the other hand, we still hold vast territories and our man-power is in- exhaustible. The odds are not against us, and diflicultios can be overcome. it is merely a question of taking full. advantage of our assets and making the right use of. our existing strength. This applies in particular to our border peoples. The sacriï¬ces they have made in this war are very great indeed. But though they have done much, they could do more. A general mobilization of our border peeples is. however im- possible without a just solution of their outstanding problems. .. The main condition for such a solu» tion is to eradicate what is left of “Chinese Unionism" â€"a doctrine which teaches us. to look upon the border peeple as an inferior race. We must :put into practice the principles pro- claimed by our first National Assembly: “Right of self-detetmination for all peoples" within the borders of our country?’â€" “a Federal Chinese Republic on the basis or absolute equality tor an the peoples within its borders." ,' we must, 'seCOndly, raise the stand- ardotlivinz of themessof thepOpu- lation in the north-western and the southwestern territories further their In the past Japan tried to trick the border peoples by. such high-sounding slogans as the “Great Mongol Empire’j and the “Great. Moslem Emplne." She made use of the puppet “Federal Gov- eminent of Autonomous Mongolia,†formed by the religious chief of the Mongol tribes, and of the Moslem trait- 013M; Liam, who had made himself Chairman of the “Meal Council for the Maintenance of Law and Order†at Tsinanfu An eï¬ort was. also made to undermine the friendly relations be- tween the Chinese Central Government and Tibet. Now further use is to be made of treachery and intrigue and. with the help of the vile elements among the border peoples, Japan will attempt to weaken our power of re- sistance. . I In their attempt to dominate China by force, the Japanese aggressors are naturally anxious to destroy the ties which unite the various peoples of our bountry. Hoping to separate the border people; from China, they have tried to impress them by the popular catch- words of “home rule" and “self-deter- mlnation. †The nature and the aim of these false promises have been clearly deï¬ned by the Provisional National Assembly; “Sell-determination of the 'border peoples, as proclaimed by Japan, is a swindle. Itwould result in the en-‘ slavement of these peOples by. the ag- gressor." The lying campaign, however, is likely to be enforced. For the im- portance of the JapaneSe troops dimin- ishes in, the same measure as they penetrate into China’s interiOr so that .for the success of their military oper-' atiOns Japan will have to rely chiefly On her underground activities, with af view to breaking up the unity of our peOples. l After our retreat from Kwangchow and the evacuation of Wuhan the vast tracts of land in the north-west and the south-west have becorne a factor of ~vital importance in our defence policy: these regions new form the basis of our resistance. They are inhabited by the Mongols, the Tibetans, and by {thirty million Mahomedans. who '03-; icupy the border land of TurkeStan (the ' “Fourteen 'I‘ribeS") and the provinces of; Shensi, Kansu. and Ningsia.

International Nickel Aldermac “The flrSt gold brick of the Tyranite Gold Mines was poured last week, with results better than anticipated, accord- ing to word received by The Speaker. Tyranite Mines was incorporated in 1935 and their prOperty consists of nine claims in the Townships of Tyrell and McKnight abotxt 17 miles from Gow- gand'a. Tyranite Mines is controlled by Erie Canadian Mines Limited, a sub- sidiary of Sylvanite Gold Mines Lim- ited at Kirkland Lake. It is understood that the mill is rated at 200 tons daily. The New Liskeard Speaker last week had the following paragraph of interest here: â€" The mineral jig for the gravity con- centration of widely varying combina- tions of metals is now being. used in verious types of mills. The jig has an important place in most of the [iota- tion plants in. British Columbia-Sin par- ticular, where many of the gold ores contain lead and zinc.

The cell provides a greater mpth of froth than do other cells, and therefore ef- fects a higher recovery at a greater saving in power required per ton of ore treated.

Presumably, therefore, the despatches‘ say, nothing could be done without a session of the House of Oomm‘Ons. Despatches at the week-end from Cobalt say that the Dominion Govern- ment has been unable, it says, to ascede to the request of the recent delegation from Cobalt in reference to bonusing silver in order to keep Cobalt camp alive and .- active. The recent closing down of the O‘Brien. Mine, owing to the low price of silver, resulted in the dele- gation being sent to Ottawa. The O’Brien was the last of the Cobalt mines to continue mining silver. The closing of the O’Brien- meant the throwing out of work- of some three hundred men. This makes a very seri- ous situation for Cobalt. Walter Little, MP. for Temisliaming, headed a dele- gation to see the Government to see what could be done to help Cobalt and keep hundreds of people 01! relief. It was thought that a bonus on 5 silver would do the trick and that there was precedent for this in the methads used by the Government to help the farmers of the West by ï¬xing the price' of‘ wheat.

Quartz dust, it was pointed out. set up a chamical action when it came in contact with the lung, resulting in a fibrous growth which choked up the air cells and produced the condition known as silicosis. When treated with metallic aluminium, the quartz dust no longer produced this growth. Dr. Irwin exxplained last night that early experiments with metallic alu- minium dust had shown favourable re: suits on experimental animals. Ani- mals which were permitted to breathe quartz dust soon developed silicosis, but the inhalation of the ï¬ne alumin- ium powder was found to form a pro- tective coating around the quartz par- ticles, arresting development of the disease.
