Governor General Bags
Six Lions While Hunting

South Africa's governor general, the
Earl of Athlone, member of the British
royal family, bagged six lions on
hunting expedition in northern Rho
deSia. He was accompanied by his wife,
Princess Alice, and his sister-in-law,
Lady May Cambridge. The vice regal
party found a wonderland of big game
a few miles to the north of Livingstone,
and had they been out to kill for the
sake of killing, the bag would have been
enormous. One day the governor gen.
eral found himself suddenly within un-
comfortable distance of a well-grown
rhinoceros and a young rhino. He has
proved himself an excellent shot in
India and elsewhere. and on this occa-
sion he wasted no time. With one we'll
aimed bullet he brought down the big
fellow, and he would have spared, the
little one had it not foolishly worried
the party by making frantic cfarges.

Ireland Plans to Cut
Membership of Dali

Decrease in the population of the
Free State recorded in the latest CEN
sus necessitates a revision of the rep
resentation of the Dali, which is based
on population. More than a dozen
constituencies are found to be now
overrepresented and only one, County
Dublin, has less than its fair proper
ton of members. The government will
introduce legislation making repre-
sentation conform with the provisions
of the constitution and the most i'm
portant result will be to diminish
membership in the Dali incidentally
it is prophesied that the government
will seek to restrict eligibility to the
Dali, and will bar those who receive
salaries from public funds. Some men,
bers are In the employ of local authori-
ties and so have a voice In framing
regulations for the department which
pays them.

South African Mines
Threaten TO Shut Down

There is considerable anxiety on the
Witwatersrand over the possibility that
some of the lower-grade gold mines may
have to close. 1t is just announced
that New Kleinfontein at Benoni, which
employs 1000 whites and nearly 10000
natives, will have to cease operations
unless the government will come to che
rescue by reducing the taxation on the
property. This mine has been in oper-
alton for 33 years and has yielded over
81 600 600 in gold. 1t still holds many
millions but the cost of working has
become prohibitive as the levels have
gone deeper. The mine pays nearly
ST 000, 900 yearly in phthisis compensa-
ton, and the people of the town of
Benoni have petitioned the government
to relieve the mine of this burden.

DIR. Rosenthal Makes
Find in Treatment
Of Diabetes Patients
Tests Reveal That Suffer.
ers May Eat Raw Starches
in Uncooked Vegetables.

Tests conducted at George Washing
ton Hospital and the hygienic ,labora-
tory here have led TO the discovery by
Or. Sanford M. Rosenthal Of wash
ington that sufferers from diabetes may
eat raw starches in the form Of certain
uncooked vegetables, without causing
an appreciable rise in blood sugar.
Tests with animals over Q period Of
months disclosed that cooked starches
created as much blood sugar as glucose.
but that raw starches, found especially
IN knocked vegetables. do not affect
the quantity Of blood sugar, DR.. Rosen-
thai reported to the Physiological Con-
gress, held recently in Boston.
On the basis Of the tests, DR.. Rosen-
thai recommended to the congress that
mild cases of diabetes be urged to in
clude certain unlocked vegetables in
their diet In his opinion, careful use
of raw starches IN time would eliminate
from mild cases the necessity for con-
tinued use of tnsulin, which is pre-
scribed to keep the blood sugar from
going up after meals.
The tests on which DR.. Rosenthal
based his report to medical men and
scientists at the congress were conduct
ed at the hygienic laboratory under
sponsorship of the United States Public
Health Service. which expects to pub
lish his contribution to the study Of
diabetes. DR.. Rosenthal resides at 27OO
Connecticut avenue.
