According to dealers in firearms and ammunition, the Japanese are the beat armed class of people In the oountry, so far as the modernity of their weapons Is concerned. Nothing but the most ex pensive runs are purchased by them, and although these are not carried as constantly as are those of the Chinese, they are always ready for use. Since the anti-Japanese rlpis In Van couver thera have been comparatively few purchases ot firearms, dealers ex plaining thla by the fact that nearly all of the Japanese are well-armed with out purchasing any additional guns. - Sveryone Carries Qua.

SELLS LIGHT PLANT AT CHEHALIS Medical inspector Reports Abuses to Which Work men Are Subjected. (Jonraal Bpeetal Service.) London, Sept. 13. Dr. Reginald Far- rar, one of the medical Inspectors of the local government board, has pre sented a repprt which strongly sug gests the necessity of legislation re quiring the proper housing of large bodies of men engaged upon construct ional work, such as that of the Brook lands motor racing track, recently com pleted at Weybrldge. Sixteen hundred navvies" were employed by the con tractors, and Dr. Farrar estimated that fully 800 of those regularly occupied were without lodging, and had to sleep "rough" for want of accommodation. Some were found In strawyards, others were content to rest on the bare ground In a disused cowshed, where the avail able air space was less thai 200 cublo feet per head, a gan.g of four seized upon a hencoop, and many mofb slept In the open, among the gorse and heath er of Weybrldge cbmmon, or in places where they were less likely to be dis turbed. All alike were equally badly treated in being denied even a supply of drinking water, although a main be longing to the West Surrey company could easily have been utilised by ar rangement. It was only when Dr. Far rar appeared upon tne scene mat any attempt was made to mitigate these evils, and the experience certainly sup ports the recommendation contained in his report In regard to the systematic housing of men employed upon large outdoor constructional works.
