INCREASE IN CRIME THROUGHOUT CANADA aaaBH NOTED LAST MONTH CO-OPERATIVE AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS DEMAND INCOME TAX EXEMPTION VICTORIA, Feb. 12—Exemption of o-operative agricultural organizations from provincial Income tax was urged on the government today by a delegation representing the B.C. Co-operative Council and Its affiliated organizations. Co-operative organizations really have no Income, as all their returns are given back to their members the cabinet was told. A slight amendment to the Taxations Act specifically exempting them from the Income levy was urged. In the past no attempt was made to tax these organizations for .ncome, but recently lt has been understood that they would be required o pay in future. ' j Chiefly Interested In this matter Is Lhe Fraser Valley Milk Producer's Association. If it is forced to pay on income, lt would have to meet a retroactive bill going back to 1917 and totalling a large amount. The association has no funds to meet such a levy, the cabinet was told. The overnment promised careful consideration. OTTAWA Feb. 18—Unemployment Is given as one of the main reasons for the increase ln crime which has been noted throughout 'Canada during the past month. Although there Is always a seasonal Increase about this time of year in the activities of criminals, this year major crimes and misdemeanors showed a larger increase than usual. This is said In Ottawa to be mainly due to lack of employment, which renders some of the weaker- willed unemployed prone to steal. The four largest cities of Canada, : Montral, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver, all report larger number of robberies with violence this year than usual, while swindlers in many cities throughout the country were quite active. ^^^^^™ FOREST FIRE FIGHTING LEAVES DEFICIT $47*331 VICTORIA Feb. 11—The heavy cost! of forst fres ln British Columbia in recent years was Indicated to the legislature today by Hon.

LIQUOR BOARD IN B.C, VICTORIA Feb 11—The name of Henry B. Thomson, food controller for Canada during one period of the war, Is sugge sted by the Colonist news damages against Consolidated for Injuries -alleged to have been suffered as the result of diffusion of smoke from the smelter at Trail, were known, and, wanted to know who was behind the Consolidated. His demand, followed by a series of questions by counsel for claimants as to action taken by Consolidated in an attempt to settle for the damage in Stevens county; was too much for Mr. Kyte. . Mr. Blaylock was on the stand most of the day. He described the first unit of a fertilizer plant to be erected at Trail at a cost of $9,000,000. The plant vo toe operation by the early summer of 1931, would reduce the output of sulphur dioxide from the smelter stack about 30 per cent, he said, and this reduction would virtually prevent any damage to property south of the international line. "Experience showed the product of a second unit could be marketed with only a reasonable loss, the corporation was prepared to go ahead with the second, after construct-on of the first." With regard to removing metal and flue dust from the smoke, Mr. Blaylock said Consolidated had been pioneers in installing machines for precip itation of dust and solids. Consolidated anticipated Increasing its metal output 100 tons a year but their Increase would be recovered entirely from slag and by-products which contained no sulphur, there would be no Increase 'n sulphur dioxide released Into the air. With respect to obtaining easement against claims for smoke damage ln the State of Washington, Blaylock said Consolidated had attempted to purchase land ln the state, but was blocked by the Alien Land Act, which prevented ownership by a foreign corporation. The company had also offered crop settlements to farmers and ln this endeavor had obtained the services of Dr. Neidig, professor of agriculture at the University of Idaho, and Lon Johnston, one-time Lielten- ant Governor of the state, Tn cross-examination, this point was taken up by counsel for claimants, who endeavored to adduce testimony to show an attempt had been made to Influence the press and legislation In the of Washington. Mr. Blaylock CANCER VICTIMS THRONG I CLINIC FOR TREATMENT t LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—Evidence! of the curative powers of the recently discovered Coffey-Humber cancer- killing extract was demonstrated here yesterday.. The demonstration took place In the medical offices of the Southern Pacific railroad in the morning where, within a period of eight days, Dr. John B. number -conducted bis second Los Angeles clinic for cancer natlents. During four busy hours, In which Or. Humber saw half a hundred sufferers of cancer, the young co-dlscov- -rer of the extract treated seven for-f mer patients and accepted thirty-nine new cases for treatment. In the seven older cases in which each of the patients have now received two Inoculations of the uotent fluid, i marked improvement was reported. I Dr. Humber was confronted with almost every known type of cancerous growth—and each of the sufferers looked upon this young enthusiastic surgeon as the one person ln whose gentle hands rested their sole hope of prolonging life. First came a handsome young man, not more than thirty. It was his second visit and upon his neck was a cancerous growth which many of the most able surgeons of the nation had jeen powerless to battle. The man had received his first injection of the extract last Sunday. Then he appeared skeptical and his facial features were a picture of abject pain. Yesterday he was smiling, happy and hopeful—though Drs. Coffey and Humber have yet to promise that their iew extract Is an absolute cure for cancer. "How do you feel?" Dr. Humber enquired. "Much better," the patient replied, xuberantly. "I have not had any pain for the last three days. And this Is one of the mysteries of the discovery—that after the first Injection all pain vanishes, Cost of the Was Heavy VICTORIA Feb. 10-Some information on the cost of government commissions has been obtained through the medium of questions en the order papers of the British Columbia legislature. Fifty dollars a day for the first 100 days and $40 a day afterward was paid .o Sanford Evans for his enquery Into -he Okanagan fruit Industry, accord ing to information given by the mini ster of agriculture. The secretary of the commission, J. G. Thompson, received a salary of $250 a month and he cost of the enquiry up to December 1 last year, not Including the com vissioner's fee, was $3729. Twenty dollars a day allowance for .Iteen meetings and $10 a day expense Jlowance for nine meetings was paid o George Cowan, K.C., as a member if the Male Minimum Wage board. \dam Bell received $10 a day for twelve meetings, after which he was appointed to the civil service. Technical officers in the employ of the government increased from 330 to .371 ln a year and a half. On thc permanent staff of civil service there were 1408 employees in August- 1928, and 1428 on December 31, 1929. The temporary staff during that time was Increased from 185 to 245, an increase of exactly 100. These figures do not include provincial police employees, employees at government institutions, general foremen of the public works department, or resident mining engineers. the sparce army of prohibition officers hitherto employed have succeeded ln wounding peaceful Canadians ln Canada and with an army of 10,000 In line the chances of unfriendly acts are much multiplied. That phase of the situation has been pointed out to Washington by the Canadian Minister but no formal protest against the proposed force and reduction of ports of entry has been lodged. Nor Is one considered likely. Theoretically Canada must wait until Canadian neutrality Is outraged before protesting. The whole matter will find Its way Into the debates of Parliament, probably along with the proposal that Canada refuse export clearances for liquor destined for the United States. In the latter country It Is proposed to unify control of the Canadian border by placing the Immigration forces, the customs service, the quarantine group and the prohibition forces under the Coast Guard, all with the hope of making prohibition enforcement more effective.

CANADA PBEPABES FOR THE NEXT POULTRY CONGRESS Preparation for the part Canada is o take ln the World's Poultry Confess to be held ln London ln July of his year, are well advanced. F. O. El- ord, Dominion poultry husbandman, ind first vice-president of the Confess, reports that the Canadian ex- liblts that will be put on by the fede- al and provincial departments of ag- .culture and business organizations ill occupy about 9,000 square feet of j loor space, which Is now being put In •ider on an elaborate scale. W. A. Brown, chief of the poultry! livislon of the Dominion Live Stock Iranch, who Is ln charge of the Oana- lian educational exhibits, reports that nany of the principal poultry flocks iver the whole country are being vis- ted with a view to securing the neces- iry birds that will be used in bring- ng the promotion policies of Canada n relation to the poultry industry to he attention of the delegates from idhering countries, and other visitors o the Congress. Dr. F. N. Marcellus, secretary of the congress for Ontario, reports that the Ontario rabbit breeders have expressed a desire to make a display of pelts. If it Is finally decided to do this, the display will be made within the commercial exhibits of the federal depart- nent of agriculture. Dr. Marcellus also suggests the possibility of the Ontario exhibitors of oirds arranging for a competition af ter arrival at Ottawa and prior to ihipment. It is expected that prizes or this competition will be provided oy the department of agriculture at Toronto. NEEDY VETERANS MAY OBTAIN PENSIONS AT THE AGE OF SIXTY OTTAWA, Feb. 13.—The pensions act act will be one of the outstanding pieces of legislation in the coming session, and it is among the measure.' to which qnal consideration is being ;.ven just now. Since the annou.ice- nient was made several weeks ago that the law on the subject would oe revised, a lot of Investigation has oeen made into the operation of the present act, and particularly Its regulations, and also into the cost of these changes which are projected. What form the bill will ultimately take will be known only after a committee has had an enquiry Into the whole question and heard the board, lhe Legion and other organisations which are concerned. Meanwhile, tbe certainty Is that ihe operation of the act will be very considerably extended and made more liberal in its application. One of the proposals Is that, on attaining a cer- .ain age, every ex-member of the Canadian Expeditionary oFcre, who Is in .iced, and not ln receipt at present of a pension, or having another source of ncome shall, in the ease of a married nan, receive $40 a month, sad ln the .ase of a single man $30. The age at which this would be operative is said to be 60. The effect of this policy would iot be immediate, but only twenty or wenty-five years hence. What it and other projected concessions would cost is now being Investigated, but one figure mentioned lr» connection with the particular pension referred to, apart from the disabled list, is $12,000,000 a year. With regard to the regulations under the act, the government's Indicated policy is to make them less rigid and sufficiently elastic to meat the requirements of those who have a well- founded claim, but are now barred by some technical consideration.

Controlling an airplane requires continued and concentrated effort and ability to resist fatigue; this demands an all-around good physique. A pilot must have sharper vision, stronger heart and better muscle, J^aSu-: control than the average man; he must be able to stand sudden changes ln atmospheric pressure, recover quickly from loss of balance and respond instantaneously to momentary stimuli. There is nothilng so fatal as losing one's head. One of the ways in which psychology can be of help ln increasing air safety is In eliminating Individuals who are likely to lose their heads when finding themselves In tight situations. More than 50 per cent of accidents can be definitely ascribed to faulty piloting. Thus a recent French report, analyzing more than 2,000 air accidents, tabulates the causes as follows: Errors of piloting, 50 to 55 per cent; engine trouble, 20 to 25 per cent; atmospheric conditions, 20 per cent. The first detailed report compiled by our own department of commerce gives similar llgures. The need is now for special tests of personality and temperment that will pick out the unstable and recklessly inclined from the stable and dependable, careful type of individual.

Any break ln the skin Issues an invitation for lurking bacteria to enter. The skin should not be broken excepting under aseptic boiled instruments. In any case, the pinching or squeezing Is almost always undesirable. Cleanliness of the soap-and-water type for the face Is the sound practical way to keep the skin healthy. Our fingers and hands are so useful that we bring them Into contact with Innumerable things. We emphasize this because the danger that our hands may be to us depends upon this verp point. To put our unwashed hands to our faces, particularly to the mouth and nose. Is practically to put these undesirable elements into our mouths.

C. Can Oder THERE are fifty-five regular weekly newspapers In British Columbia. They are published tn a widely scattered" field in communities with populations of from 300 to 400 to one of 10,000. Sixteen are published in communities of less . than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to 2000 population; seven ln communities of 4000 to 5000; four ln communities over 5000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal to 145,000 of British Columbia's population. The news In these newspapers Is mostly all local, because that Is what Interests tbe readers, and the advertisements for the most part tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It is estimated that the average farm family spends 52000 every year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. The total sum that la spent by farmers ln the United States for those things with which te live well Is the apposing sum of thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living In towns and oomunlties of less than 5000 population, Using the same proportionate thaw** to estimate the buying power of the rural population'of British Columbia served by the weekly-newspapers of .(III province, and we have something like 70,000 automobiles Purchased by residents of the province In towns and comm"nltlcs of less than 5000 population, and 58,000,000 spent every year by these rural families for things which are not necessary to raise crops. If one is inclined to think that only a few people, and an Insignificant few at that, live ln country communities served by the weekly newspapers let him study these figures or consult the last census statistics. Closer Cooperation Between Rural and Industrial British Columbia , . imhhm Tshst ©rand Forks Sun IN JAMAICA G JL sun's wei:klv travllogue HE fertility of rural Jamaica affords such abundant food for slight exertion, and the mild climate requires so little shelter, that this orea is a tropical region of little work and much rest. The Jamaica negro can exist and subsist with slight exertion—and he dodes. In he rural sea-level districts In particular there is no need for steady exertion tho year round. House rent demands nj palce, generally speaking, in the rural dwelling Jamaican black's budget. He can build his own home of heavy grass and tha .eh it with banana leaves, or he can make it of mud and thatch, with cobbled floor. Thc more prosperous among the natives build wood scraps of cast-off corrugated roofing, flattened kerosene cun tin, and the like for dwellings. Tropical vines soon hide tlie patchwork, for Domo Nature is a great healer of scars. Nor Is clothing a pressing problem with thc rural blacks. The children may run naked during the lender years. The womenfolk dress In cotton gowns, which they wear as lory as there is a piece loft, barring Hun- days when they appear neatly and becomingly attired, and those occasions when they go to market in the the city.

HULL Secretary LEAVE FOR ENGLAND VICTORIA, Feb. 10—His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and Miss Mac kenzle leave Victoria this Friday, Feb Two substitutes for gasoline as a motor fuel are being studied; one in Switzerland and one by the United States bureau of mines. The Swiss fuel is called gasoline and is manufactured from wood alcohol. This would be used chiefly for operation of trucks. It is said to show an economy of 70 per cent ln one operation. The latter is gasolne made from oil. Refined shale oil gasoline under test developed more than 4 per cent electrical horsepower than the ordinary gasoline. meaning ln different provinces, so lt was necessary for representatives in China to adopt standard pronounce- ables names for the various lines. The names were selected with great care after consulting native dealers. Bulck Is one of the most esteemed cars in China. Therefore the name "pl-ku" was chosen. It means in English, "other especially can doj." In some provinces it translate into "exceptional performance.." Oakland's pronunciation in Chinese is very much like its own name. Translated, lt means, literally, "beautiful can do orchid." Pontlac's Chinese name, "pagoda can do," alludes to pagoda as a place and "can do' as performance and ability. Chevrolet has been established so long in China that no change was made. It is pronounced "Cheevoret" and means "snow buddha orchid," symbol for purity and endurance. Cadillac has a close phonetic allusion to the original name and the broad translation in Chinese meanh "a car for the wealthy, with great beauty, power and performance." La Salle and Oldsmobile, for phonetic reasons, were not changed. Get Your Groceries I b at the CITY GKOCEKY ne 2.*i "H. rvici1 and Quality" servius dishes and serve cold.
