accidents during July In this State is
the largest In one month since the or
ganization OF the Fire Marshal Depart
ment AS near as can be ascertained
Fourth Of July celebrations were re-
sponsible in Michigan for SO injuries,
but no deaths. Now would seem to be
the opportune time for cities and viii
lagos to adopt ordinances regulating
the sale and handling of fire works.
Such action will prevent dealers from
adding to their depleted stocks before
another Fourth of July and will aid
the State Fire Marshal's Bureau in the
enforcement OF the recent regulations
issued by John IT, Winship. State Fire
Marshal. II is noticeable that large
number OF the fires reported were
caused by gasoline explosions which
could in most instances have been
avoided by following the regulations
laid down by the State Fire Marshal
and by the local fire department heads
in most OF the Michigan cities

DISCUSSION
OF MEXICAN
SITUATION

A well organized discussion OF the
Mexican situation was given by Low
ry Nelson at the meeting of the u.
a. G. Cosmos Club which was held
Thursday evening at the Delta M
fraternity house. A lively Discus.
sion took place after Mr.. Nelson hal
finished his paper. DR.. Frank S.
Harris having lived in Mexico for
fifteen years was able to give some
very interesting items concerning the
life of the MeXicans. George ID. Cas-
to, an active member of the >lub, had
also spent some time in Mexico and
related some of his experiences with
the Mexicans. Many conflicting views
were presented concerning the settle
ment OF the Mexican imbroglio, but
Il was finally conceded that the policy
OF the administration of the United
States toward Mexico was best UNI
der present circumstances.
At the next and final meeting OF
the club this year to be held at the
Sigma Alpha fraternity house Darts.
ga Chenchiah will present various
peace plans for the settlement of the
European controversy. Mr.. Chen
ciah is an East Indian, coming from
Madras, India. Before coming to the
Utah Agricultural College, he spent
a year at the University of Califor.
mia. His previous training was OBJ
tanned in India. He is an able stud
ent and his discussion is being look
ed forward to with much interest.

To Use Aerop|apes
For Hunting Seals

st. Johns, N. F., May "a novel
use of the aeroplane is under consid.
Grafton by owners of sealing vessels
as q result of the failure of the seal
hunt this year. 1t is proposed that
two experienced aviators be engaged
TO visit the east coast and the Gulf
of st. Lawren,e, respectively, just
before the opening of the next Sea
son and locate the herds. The in
formation thus obtained would en-
able the fleet to sail directly for the
scene of the hunt instead Of spend
ing much time in searching for the
animals.
The direct cause of the lack OF sue
cess in the present season which
ended May /, was the unusually heavy
amount of ice packed along the coast
by continuous inshore winds. The
sealing steamers although within q
few miles Of large herds of seals
we're unable to reach them. The to
tai catch was less than 10000 pelts
and the loss to vessel owners from
the seasons operations is estimated
at about $25O,OOO.
