The whole of that portion of Africa

mans point of view it is one of the most
interesting parts of Africa. and it is. also
extremely gratifying to know that sew
eral game reserves have been established
and that certain birds and animals are
stringently protected where there Is any
possibility of their determination.
It will be well for those who go ON a
shooting trip in Rhodesia to ascertain
just what they may and may not do, for.
If necessary. the high commissioners issue
notices as to the protection of various
areas. However, the prospective sports
man need not be in the least afraid of
finding the greater part of Rhodesia q
game reserve. There is plenty of room
for everybody: the area controlled by the
chartered company is about four hundred
and forty thousand square mtles-rOughly.
equal in size to Germany and Austria
Hungary put together.
The best time for sportsmen to arrive
in Rhodesia is the beginning of July, for
from then until the end of November the
game comes out on to the veldt for the
young grass, and the country is healthy;
moreover. mosquitoes and other insect tor
ments are more or less negligible guam
tity. From May to October is the winter
season. In northeastern Rhodesia Octo-
Der is about the best sporting month.

So far as agriculture is concerned the
Filipdnos are no better of today than
they were fourteen years ago under the
Spanish rule. according to Prof Charles
W. Piper Of the Agricultural Department,
who has returned from tour Of the

Prof. Piper attributes the lack of
progression to the indefinite policy Of the

The Future of Furs.

Furs are high in price, and the chances
are that they will go higher as time
goes on. until they get beyond the
reach of any but the richest ulti-
mate consumer. II We bar the fig
leaf. it is probable that the first
garment of mankind was made of fur.
Man and woman wore the pelts of the
beasts Of the field and forest, and what
was then obtainable at the cost Of only
q little exertion and little straight
shooting today costs more money than
can be easily represented in figures of
the currency Of the times when men
lived in caves.
