DEER BECOME PEST IN NEW CALEDONIA

Imported Animals Menace to Community.

- Because of its geographical isolation the island of New Caledonia was almost devoid of animal life before it was colonised by the white man. It bharbored a few indigenous birds, the eagou, for imstance, some reptiles, lizards and water snakes, but only one species of mammal—rats, and even these were not very prolific. The colonists found the island rather barren and stocked it with cattle, horses and a few sheep, which gave the valleys a more prosperous appearance, J. D. Newson writes for Adventure Magasine. Sportsmen, however, found life very tame once the Kanakas ceased to resent the presence of aliens, and one high oficial with a taste for game imported at great expense a couple of deer, which he turned loose in the hills. Within a few years there was excellent hunting to be found in some of the more remete districts, which could only be reached by difficult trails. The high official with a taste for game was called a public benefactor and decorated. Functions were held in his honor at the government house. And a few more years went by. After a period of coy seclusion the deer left their mountain fastness and slowly spread from end to end of the island. They came in herds of several hundreds and were more destructive than locusts. At might they ran amuck threugh coffee plantations and yam fields, they jumped the highest fences and cropped the grass in the fattening paddocks. Kanaka children, posted in the flelds by their parents, lost many valuable sleeping hours while they beat upcu twon pots and shouted loudly to ward off the all-devouring deer. Armed guards shot them down at the slighteat provocation and sportsmen haéd the time of their lives without seaming to nave any, effect whatsoever on the high blirth rate. - 'Ne@ay New QCaledoniag is overrun by the pests and the high official i 8 no longer calied a public benefactor. But he has long since gone home and wearg a rosette In his buttonhole teo show that he has not lived in vain.

Shake-Ups

“France, that everybody owed, now owes everybody. What a shake-up!” sald Labor Secretary Davis on disembarking from the Olympic. He went on: “But then these shake-ups are uniyersal. For Instance, the door bell of a profiteer's palace rang the other afternoon, and the profiteer's wife elosed her Laura Jean Libbey. “‘What it is, is 1t? she asked from her chaise longue. . ; “The parlor-maid (Bryn Mawr, '22) answered: . “‘A mendicant is in the hall, madam.’ ' % ‘Well, tell him to beat it said the profiteer’s wife. ‘We aln't got nothin’ to mend.'” :

New Use for Steeples

Being desirous of using the steeples of its unused churches as water towers, the village of Podsmoshie in the Dmittrovsky district just outside of il(oscow, has applied to the Moscow igoviet for a ruling. The village authorities argue that such a utilitarian diversion would greatly reduce the cost of the mew water-works system. The provincial soviet decided that as churc¢hes that are not used for divine seryices can be converted to secular purposes with the consent of their congregations, they might be embodied in the water system provided engineers pronounced them safe.

The Song of Dixie

Among the recent anniversaries was that of the publication of “Dixie,” the song which was adopted by the Confederacy and made into a battle song. Just how and why this happened is a mystery and many efforts have been made to explain it, but none of the explanations is quite satisfactory. It is a well-established fact, however, that the song was not written for any such purpose. It was written for a Northern minstrel show and its rollicking and eatchy air was responsible for some considerable popularity.

New One for Him

Frederick, age seven, living in Columbus, Ohio, came downstairs with the statement one morning: “I'm not going to school this morning, I'll tell the world, I ain’t.” His aunt, who was visiting there, chided bhim, saying: *“Why, Frederick, if you don't go to school you will never learn to be President.” Little Fred thought for just a moment, then quickly answered: “Well, they don’t teach that in eur schools.”

“Flivver” Lodged in Tree

A fiivver, owned by M. Koch, stalled at the top of a steep hill at Baraboo, Wis., coasted down at great speed and lodged in the top branches of a treq at the edge of the rise. Koch, who had jumped out, walked to the near, est farmhouse, for an ax to chop down the tree and recover his mount.

30,000 Pronghorns

A census of the pronghorned antelope, the only species of antelope native to America, has just been completed. It shows that there are but 80,000 in North America in 286 scattered bands. According to estimates, the pronghorm once numbered from 80.000.000 to 40.000.000 here. “Charley’s Aunt” Tuesday Wednesday Thursday at Crystal.

Jap “Strut”’ Resented by Chinese People Why the Chinese hate the Japanese B 0 bitterly nas been a puzzle to the white man. Some explanation now is offered by K. K. Kawakami, a Jap--anese. His views In the Independent are with evident detachment from national interest and even with some sympathy for the Chinese point of view. : : The Chinese are badly treated by the foreigners who have Invaded their country. They are obliged to submit to Jim Crow compartments in cars, and that in their own country. They are excluded from parks in the foreign quarters. The laborers in cotton mills are paid 40 cents a day and subjected to corporal punishment. : Whatever the expediency, Chinese workers are beaten by thelr foremen whether the mills are owned by British or Japanese or even by the Chinese themselves. To their Chinese masters the Chinese submit as to inevitable fate: It is a family affair. To the lordly white man unwillingly but without loss of face.. He IS one of the forelgn devils that afflict the earth. But in the Chinese mind, says Kawakami, the Japanese is no yangkul—no foreign devil at all. He is chia-kul—an imitation devil. Japan, only yesterday the pupil of fnclent China in the arts and culture, now gives itself airs. It struts about. The Japanese do not ride on the Chinese slde of the Jim Crow cars, but on the white man’s side. He goes at will into the white man’s park. He béats the Chinese worker when it is himself who should be beaten by a Chinese for being an impudent imitator of the white man.—San Francisco Chronicle.

Plan to Drain Zuider Zee

Holland has under consideration a project for draining part of the Zuider zee, the only available way in which the country can add more territory for its increasing population. Within the last 200 years the country’s area has been extended by reclamation projects from 8,000 to 12,000 square miles. Zuider zee has an area of approximately 900,000 acres, and while it is not intended to reclaim all of this, it Is said that about 500,000 acres could be drained and thus gdd that much of very fertile land to tl?e country’s area. The damming of Zuider zee, quite apart from its dralnage, would result in benefit to the adjacent provinces, as the frequently occurring floods which cause enormous damage, would be a thing of the past. The estimated value of the land that would be reclaimed is $204,000,000.

~A Chicago Change

The late Victor Lawson, the Chicago newspaper publisher, told one day at a Iluncheon a story about the changes in Chicago. : - “When 1 was a boy,” he Baid, ‘“you could go into a candy store and buy a pound of good mixture for a quarter. ‘Well, a boy the other aftermoon went into Chicago’s finest candy store and said: . “‘A quarter’s worth of miixture, please.’ L “The salesgirl looked at him and laughed. Then she said as she handed him his quarter’s worth: ‘ “‘Here’s two. You can mix ‘em yourself.’”

Use Sails in Plowing

Bails were introduced as an aid te plowing in a soil tillers’ match near the little sedaside resort of Brightlingsea, Eng., of which many eof its residents are yachtsmen as well as farmers. The wind at times aided the horses in dragging the plow along, but at other times puffs blew .the implement to one side and spolled a straight furrow, which hindered the contestant’s chance of winning first prize. Women as well as men participated in tha contest, which the judges decided wag a great success, but thought there was little possibility of sails ever putting horses or motors out ef business when it comes’ to plowing.. =

Slight Difference

“I hearn tell,” related Newt Strodder, “that Iry Rickadoo fell off’m the bluff yiste’d’y, and as nigh as I could make out from what the feller that hollered at me as I was golng by, said, broke his collar button. “Collar button?” echoed Mrs. Strodder. “Why, shucks, one of the children was just over yur and sald his dad broke his collar bone.” “Huh! I thought it was durn funny that a feller would come out of Iry’s house and yell at me till I got the mules drug down to a walk, just to tell me Mr. Rickadoo had broke his collar button.”—Kansas City Star.

Dogs Under Soviet Ban

According to the Belgrade correspondent of the London Morning Post, the Soviet authorities at Flaviansk in the province of Kuban recently declded to suppress dogs. The decree declares among other things that the dog is ‘“one of the last vestiges of the bourgeois regime and ils really of no use except to guard private property. Consequently, the dog is hereby declared the enemy of the proletariat.” —From Le Petit Parisien. (Translated for the Kansas City Star.)

Viant Their Own Letters

Because husbands allow important invitations to rest forgotten in pigeonholes or in coat pockets, the Athens (Ga.) Woman’s club asked the postmaster to discontinue the custom of delivering letters addressed to “Mr. and Mrs.” to the offices of the husbands. The women would have them delivered to the residence of “Mr. and Mrs.” i _
