WHY Dickens 10 Beloved.

One OF the things that makes
Charles Dickens novels precious to US
is that the taste and liking for his
work is one that we can share with
almost everybody.
A cultivated taste. in literature or
any other form 70 art, tends to isolate
US more and more from the mass OF
our fellow men. 1t is impossible that
il should be otherwise.
But there are some things which the
mind does not drop in the course OF
its progress, and for those of US who
were brought up on his books the
taste for Dickens is one of these
things.
One by one, other idols of our youth
depart, but he remains-not too great.
like Shakespeare. to be our intimate
friend and companion, but offering US
always a homely and satisfying enter
tainment wherever the travelling thea

SCARCITY OF LABOR.

Already there is report of
scarcity of labor in this vicinity,
With the local industries taking on
more men and with new industries
being started, together with the fact
that immigration has entirely
ceased, while great many Of the
foreign laborers returned home
when factories were slack, furnishes
some idea of the problem that will
confront manufacturers in this
country within a short time, 1t is
gratifying to learn that prosperity is
returning so rapidly and that every
one who wants work may have it at
good wages.
While the report of the scarcity
of labor may be exaggerated some
what at the present time there is no
doubt that more and more men are
being employed and there is reason
to believe that every one who really
wants work can get it. Perth Am
boy, because her industries deal
largely with metals, is hit harder
than the average city by the war
With the increase in activity
throughout the country, however,
conditions are becoming much
brighter and the outlook is most en-
iouraging.

GENERAL BOTHA.

important factor in the future develop
ment of the country. The diamond
fields form rich treasure house, and
Immense quantities of the precious
stones OF fire. still lie in the sands Of
the Namtb. The fields extend from
Conception bay goo miles south of
SwakopmundD to Angras Juntas, dis
tance Of about 26o miles, but they are
intersected in many places by hills and
ridges and tracts of worthless sand.
The various producing companies, the
great majority Of which are German,
hold fifty years lease from the Ger
man Colonial company, and together
before the war broke out they en-
ployed about 5000 natives and colored
men. From 1908 to the end Of 1913
gems to the value OF S85,522, 900 had
been recovered.
How long will these fields last? The
experts differ, as owing to the vast ex-
tent of the country oYer~which the dia-
mondiferous gravel Is scattered and
the varying depths of the deposits it is
extremely difficult to estimate the life
of the fields. The period has been va
riously put at eight, fifteen and twenty
years. New deposits may be discoy
cred, although extensive prospecting
operations have not resulted in any
finds for some time. Volcanic pipes"
containing the well known Kimberlite
have been found In the Gibeon, Beth
any and Keetmanshoop districts, but
careful tests have shown them to be
barren Of diamonds"
Next to the diamond fields the cop
per mines rank in Importance. The
value Of the copper exported in 1918
was $1982, ,1s0. In the opinion of ex-
perts there is no doubt that the coun-
try will supply copper and copper ores
In increasing quantities for many
years to come.
Prospecting work has been done in
connection with gold, tin, iron, lead,
sulphur, etc, but the results have been
somewhat disappointing, although i'm
mense deposits of iron and tin ores are

days it is essential that the law in
this particular be strictly obeyed.
No matter how careful the autoist
may be there is very likely to be an
accident If he comes suddenly upon

is no light to give warning of its
presence.
The driver of the horse-drawn
vehicle who is in an accident at
night, when it can be shown that he
had no lights on his wagon, should
be prosecuted to the extent of the
law. If this were done such drivers

CARRYING LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

Recent accidents In which horse
rrawn vehicles have been in collision
with automobiles at night show that
the law regarding showing a light
at night is not being observed. 1t is
often claimed that one or the other
Of the vehicles was on the wrong
side of the road.
1t is not necessary, however, to go
into arguments until it is learned
whether or not the proper lights
were shown. If the carriage carried
lights as provided by the law there
is no excuse for the auto driver
whether the carriage was on the left
side of the road or not. On the
other hand, if the carriage had no
lights the driver only invited a
catastrophe, regardless of what side
of the road he was on.
Too many owners of horse-drawn
vehicles are Indifferent to the law
