Since then, with varied successes arm ianures, tne country has made progress until today there is a population of approximately seven millions and Australia has been one ot the first countries to emerge from the depression..

To celebrate the 150 years of progress Australia is raciyiwg uie oriusn umpire uames tnis year and an All-Australian Exhibition. Celebrations will be held throughput the country, making the present a gala year in the history of that country. We have every pleasant trade relation with Australia. We sell to them lumber, canned salmon, newsprint, cotton goods and automobiles to the value of twenty-seven million dollars and we buy from them dried fruitswool; raw sugar, canned fruit, wine and brandy to the value of nino and a half million dollars. , The people of Australia have many characteristics that are outstanding. One of these is the English accent and the other loyalty to the British Empire with a very close contact with London. Cana'da has much in common with Australia and has everything to gain from: close business and social relationships. Both being; Pacific powers, we have common problems to solve and possibly common foes to face. "r . SET EXAMPLE FOR DEMOCRACY The Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia is one of thpse who is warning British Columbia people to hold fast to their democracy or there is danger of the province sharing the fate of Belgium. He would have the democracies of, the North American continent stand together. Addressing the Canadian Legion at Victoria last week he is reported to have said : ' "Tile future holds uncertain promise in these days when war clouds are gathering ominously and the dictators of the world are aligning themselves against the democracies. "We must determine whether we are going to keep that liberty, and we in British Columbia, who enjoy all the privileges of a free race, must set ourselves as an example to "the rest of the world as a community that knows freedom-of the press, of religion and speech'." He paid tribute to the Canadian Legion for the fine work it had done for its members, the city and the country, and urged the Legion as a whole to stick by their democratic ideals as it might need them in the future. PUCK GAME INTERESTS BIG CROWD Single Men Defeat Married Bj Score of 4 to 2 Before Biff Crowd at Morse Creek For" the first time in years Prince Rupert puck chasers were seen in real action yesterday afternoon at Morse Creek when Single Men took the ice to Inflict a 4 to 2 defeat on the Married Men.

In the first, one goal was 'made by the WOMEN ARE' REASON OF CIVIL WAR (Continued from Page One) be married; which is generally at a time when her husband is old enough to be her grandfather. Polygamy is Correct There Is no law restricting the number' of wives a man may have. Polygamy Is considered the correct thing. Blood relationship does not bar these natives from marrying and there are several instances of half brothers being married to half- sisters. Totem relationship, however, is an Inviolable obstacle to marriage. It Is transmitted not through the father, as- It Is on the malnlend, but through the mother so hat when a man has more than one wife the offspring are of dif-erent totems and are permitted to inter-marry. When a man dies all his old wives are given to young men and his young wives are given to old men As might be expected, the more wives a man has the less hamonl- ous is the home atmosphere. Roused by jealousy, the lubras have furious fights among themselves which even a husband could not stop, even if fie bothers to try. There is one wife in Bathurst Island who goes- about her daily tasks minus a ndsq which was bitten off in a 'fit. of jealousy by one of the other wives of her husband. All the hard work about the camps is done by tne wives ana, Single Men.

There was no scoring in the third period. In. the fourth and last, Frank Glass snared the second for the Married Men. One goal for the Single Men was disallowed and some of the Married Men claimed that one counter for them went unoticed. The men .of single blessednesr were value for the win and kept the play the majority of the time at their end. Despite that thr Married Men had many dangerour. breakaways. One of the outstanding players was Jack Karasosky from Edmonton in his coronation colored out fit. He was a speedy play-maker for the Single Men. Henri Letour-neau and Klddo Fulton were also stars for the Single Men. Bill Blltch, in the key position for the to feed their lords and masters. Although half the women are childless and the birthrate is low, these islanders have no compunc tion whatever In destroying one of twins. The reason for this inhuman practice Is that the mother cannot rear two babies at once. The infant is, usually burled alive. The devotion -of parents, usually Inspired by fear, Is so great among the offspring that they will provide food for their fathers and mothers before feeding their own families. Monogamy for Polygamy Twenty-five years ago the Roman Catholic church, hearing about the Inhuman customs of the Islands, de cided to establish a mission station on Bathurst to try to improve matters. At first it seemed that the task which the priests had set themselves would be hopeless.

To gain time, the mlss!onar.v gave presents to the tribesmen. Their anger died down and they decided to settle down for the night and camp around the .mission. Mission Buys Girls Why not buy the girl? The idea came suddenly to the worried missionary during the night. Next morning when the warriors clambered on his verandah, he dazzled their eyes, ylth a mirror; a toma- hawk; a knife, a billycan, a strip-of calico, a blanket, a bag of flour and some tobacco, all cf which, In the eyes of the old husband, were far more desirable than the girl. So it was agreed that this girl should be sold for these goods of which the value was about. $8. From that date until 1923, one hundred and twenty-four glrli have been bought and trained by the sisters at the mission. When hey were 15 or 16 and had a good knowledge of domestic duties, they were allowed to marry mission boys of their- own choice. At varl-1 ous periods they were permitted to leave the station for a month's holiday, or "walkabout" as It i i called In aboriginal pidgin English 1 league Jixture last night.

The Letter Box REGARDING DOCTORS Editor. Dally News: I beg your Judgment on the publication of the following, m opinion of a certain professional class of people. I envy the medical doctor regardless of how much money he makes. Day by day he has the hance to probe into the ailments of mankind. Disease, a word of fear, he may slowly and surely stamp out of his patient visitor's mind although perhaps until next time only. However, his work has been done. He has created for hto patient a moment of satisfaction, lie may also have learned a little more of the working of the disease. Another person may be waiting behind the- door for his honest advice In the waiting room. His work Is not only to cure but it is also to learn. He may, In the confinement of his office or In the occasional home when he isi called out by the need for the doctor's advice, find the. means to complete isolation of a dls- ase ravishing the human body. With the chemist, physicist, tfr daring clever surgeon when need bo and the psychologist, he may slve to humanity continuous health. Isolate germs and prevent unwanted growths on the body. But I do not envy the medical doctor who tries to lead his pa tlents astray from the point of their true ailments. I do not envy him who is only In the profession for money, an exploiter. I do not envy him if he should try to make himself appear more knowing than he Is. I want truth, regardless of what it may Imply, because to me truth is fundamental for human management, to human satisfac tion, health and long life. Man will always try to do right to hLs own self, and truth only may en able him to do so. The quack, a pretender to medical skill, a mouthpiece Instead of a medical working unit of value, must be despicable. I only hope that such a doctor does not exist in Prince Rupert. P.
