hoping that her population may re-
main white, taxes the incoming
Asiatic $500 and requires him to pass
simple literary test.
This has not prevented numbers of
exceedingly enterprising Chinese from
entering that little paradise, where
they become highly Industrious and
progressive citizens.
Children born of Chinese parents, in
w-scholars in state schools, are
without" nerves-they show no
strain, are remarkably free from
"crankiness," are invariably happy
and always eminently teachable.
Nearly always full-blooded Chinese
born in New Zealand are children OF
coolie parents, and it is therefore
highly remarkable that in a genera
tion they should physically differ from
their parents.
Thus the child Of tiny Chinese

exceed 800 pounds in weight.
Limited numbers of New Zealand
born Chinese are hardly distinguish
able Ito strangely from Maoris, al
though it is offensive to either race
to be so mistaken one for the other.
1T is true that the most persistent
type of white man born in New Zea-
land is much bulkier. than his father,
often abnormally thick in the legs and
certainly not constitutionally so
strong as his parents.
He tends physically to the Maori
type already; slow and ponderous, un-
less excited. and then showing less
endurance than white peoples of Eu-
rope or America.
One supposes the same conditions
which produce bulk in Maoris and the
progeny of transp1anted Anglo Sax
ons produce also avoirdupois in New
Zealand born Chinese.
One watches with interest the
growth of New Zealand born children
of Hindu coolies, who are notably
small in bulk and light of leg, and
finds that what is true of Anglo
Saxon and Chinese New Zealanders is
also true of New Zealand-b born Hin
dus-they tend to become ponderous,
like the MaoriS. =

FUNCHALL, Madeira, July Is
Canary birds are much sought by
tourists on the various liners which
stop at this crossroads OF the ocean.
Bird dealers rush to greet incoming
steamers and do a thriving business.
But tourists recently have found
that many of the canaries purchased
here began after a few days to fade.
They were sparrows which had been
painted a bright yellow. Disguised
purchasers reported the frauds to
their consuls in F-unchal and crews
of the passenger steamers now warn

TO UNITE IN WAR
ON THE BOIL WEEvIL
TO ENLIST SUPPORT OF BUSI-
NESS MEN AND BANKERS
IN EVERY COMMUNITY.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala - Arrange
ments for a united drive against the
boil weevil by representatives of in
terests and activities of the cotton
states and the commercial mad trade
organizations OF the nation concerned
with cotton as a commodity were
made by the executive committee of
the National Boil Weevil Control As
sociation at a meeting here today.
This association was organized recent
ly at New Orleans and c. G. Rives,
president OF the Louisiana Bankers
Association, is president.
1t was also announced that the boil
weevil organization has selected as
director Clarence Ousley OF Fort
Worth, Texas, former assistant SeCre-
tary of agriculture.
The Boil Weevil Association will
act in concert with the cotton council
OF the Southern Agricultural Workers
Association, consisting OF the scientists
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture working in the south and
the southern agricultural colleges en-
gagged in work related to cotton. In
this manner it is announced the COM
mercial activities, the farmers and
the scientists will be united i'll the first
resolute movement to eXtermlnate the
boil Weevil.
Plan of Association.
1t is the immediate plan of the assC-
citation to enlist the active support OF
bankers and business men and OF
setting up neighborhood organizations
to obtain concert among cotton farm
ers for approved cultural practices and
the application of scientific methods.
at is unthinkable to me that mil
lion cotton farmers and millions OF
other people directly and indirectly in
terested in cotton or various aspects OF
the industry will surrender to an in
sect" said Clarence Ousley in COM
menting on the work of the ASSOCIATION.
I'VE must produce more cotton IN
the south or witness the passing OF our
supremacy as cotton producing
country. That would mean the loss
of the principal item OF our export
balance of trade and the raising up OF
rivalries in other lands that will ultl-
matelv make cotton growing unproht-
able on the present standard OF living.
In other words, we must control the
boil weevil and furnish a sufficient
supply of cotton for the worlds needs,
or Brazil, Australia, the Sudan and
other countries will furnish the cotton
which the world requires and at the
same time subject us to fierce compe-
tition which will reduce our cotton
farmers finally to a standard OF living
much below the standard to which
they have been so long subjected
through excessive production and
through bad methods OF marketing.
