STORMS BREED AT SEA
SOUTH OF CAPE VERDE


WASHINGTON. June 2-tBy As
ISOLATED ss.)-The lair OF the Wild
west Indian hurricane at last has
been tracked down. c, L. Mitchell,
meteorological of the United States
Weather Bureau, after a years work,
has announced that the Atlantic
ocean just south Of the Cape Verde
Islands is the breeding place Of cy-
clones in August and September,
while the west section Of the Carib-
bean sea has that honor during the
rest of the storm season.
In study of 235 storms of hurri
cane intensity during the last &c
years it was found that all occurred
between May and December.
Reports of the origin Of hurricanes
in the eastern two-thirds of the
Caribbean were dlsproved and the
effect of the doldrums upon cyclonic
disturbances were d disclosed.
Northeasterly and southwesterly
trade winds skirting the edges of the
doldrum section near the Cape Verdes
set up circular motions, which, with
other meteorological conditions, are
| supposed to start the Vortexes which
result in hurricanes. These move
westward with the regular wind
drifts. The fact that the doldrums
| do not reach into tho Atlantic south
of the equator is given as the reason
why hurricanes are never reported
| from that area.

BONUS FOR BABIES

far away Papua, in the Pacific ocean
north OF Australia The natives of
this thriving community appear never
to have been bothered about birth
control, for the most popular gov
eminent regulation down there at
present is a baby bonus for native
women.
Gel. j. II. P. Murray, lieutenant
governor of Papua, recently in Lon
don. explained in an interview the
methods which have been adopted by
the Papuan auth critics to make it the
best regulated and most Industrious
of the South SEA protectorates.
He says that under a system of
baby bonus, if native woman has
four children living, her husband 8
tax is RENTED. The mother receives
bonus of five shillings, with an
extra allowance for each additional
child.
The intention of the baby bonus is
not, however. to show contempt for
the birth control advocates, but is
intended to hold up the mother of a
large family as person If diStinc-
tion in the village. The old native
idea was to despise the mother of

pany who is clamo ring for protec-
ton. He says it no longer pays to
run British trawlers because of the
competition of German and Danish
trawlers.
German fishermen, he says, have
received such a hot reception in
various British ports that they no
longer try to dispose of their North

trnasfer the fish to Danish trawlers
