white unknown. A great deal of Es-
kimo art of the chase is based upon
an understanding of the bears hunt
ing habits. The important phases OF
life that man could learn from a bear
would enliven a book that some one
should write.
THE Eskimo girl demands that her
future man must secure at least one
bear before she marrieS him. Since
he must get the bear with knife or Il
spear, the qualifications are very Sc
we're; if we were forced to do likewise
few of us would have wives.
Because of the priceless charm Of
his skin, the polar bear offers good
economic rewards. There are thou
sands of islands in the cold northern
and southern regions upon which the
hears could be farmed. TO be success
full bear ranch should be located on
an island against which the sea ice
does not drift. For drifting ice offers
and easy way of escape. About islands
of this kind there is usually great
variety Of large sea animals to serve
as cheap food.
From the standpoint of the further
preservation of this remarkable bear
an island should be selected in the
South Atlantic or South Pacific. All
the conditions there are favorable for
the natural needs of the animals, and
after the bears increase, the entire
Southern Hemisphere could be covered
by the white bear as its new and
natural home. For the south polar
pack ice offers him the same kind of
feeding grounds as the Arctic Sea.
In the Antarctic regions there are
no bears, no wolves and no foxes. In
deed most of the fur-bearing animals
of the North could and should be
transplanted to the far South, and he
who undertakes this will confer a
great advantage TO future generations.

which took place at the Institute of
Politics during 4 discussion of the
problem of minorities in Macedonia.
NJ. Panaretoff had pictured the con

which he placed at a million. in the
Macedonia territory now part of
Jugoslavia, and concluded with an
expression that the difficulty might
be solved by a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
alliance.
DIR. Pavichich declared that the
million Bulgarians now in the
Jugoslavian region numbered in
reality some two or three hundred
thousand" He added that Bulgaria
had neevr had a hold in Macedonia
anyway, except during the war, and
that then she had distinguished her
self by committing crimes and blum
derS." sAs a matter Of fact he said,
there no longer existed any Bulgaria n
people. Ethnologically, Macedonia be-
longed to Jugoslavin he Contended.

PARIS, August 1.-THE Chamber

a. national assembly meeting at Yer
sailles, where the sinking fund re-
Ceived its constitutional baptism
amid a memorable uproar.
The government now may breathe
without danger of its life until Par

which was created for lack of foreign
credits, will not be endowed with inn
portant resources until 1927. Until
then the fund viii receive only some
hundred million francs and the to-
baccO profits, with which to provide
payment of interest on the debt of

Increasing prices, however. due to
the new taxes, customs duties and
railroad rates, stand a chance of In
COnvenienCing the treasury and will
be the chief trouble OF the govern
ment. In the economic field forcing
prices down is. the most ungrateful
task whichacan devolve on the author
tiles. 1t would have been easier for
the government if the interallied
debt questions had been settled, for if
this menace had disappeared from the
horizon the franc would easily have
