I Editorial Correspondence VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 25. One wonders what Victoria would do without tourists. Officially the 19.13 tourist season is ov?r, but every boat from ;the mainland brings a sizable bundi of them. Most of them this time of year only stay overnight, but you should see them when tliey return to theboat the next day, particularly the women, littered with packages and knick knacks, and figuring up carefully to be sure they are under the $100 allowed for importation by a generous Uncle Sam. There certainly is tourist traffic that PAYS! If Uncle Sam should ever slap a few sanctions on Vancouver Island, this tight little isle would curl up like a fricassed snail the day after! aea.ee Perfect weather and we mean perfect. Clear;, sunny, cool and invigorating, the waters of PuRct Sound, as smooth as those of Crater Lake on a quiet mid summer day. They are planting winter flower slips in the hotel gardens. In the country, says one of the gardeners, the wild flowers are having their second blooming. If this weather would hold our friend the "blanket stiff" would not have to spend won't. Grass is green here all fog and rain in the winter. How about the wart ' There are two newspapers here, the morning Colonist and the evening Times. They agree as well concerning the war, as they agree on other things. The editor of one believes Mussolini will be forced to make peace in Ethiopia, BKFORE CHRISTMAS. because of the economic and financial sanctions of the League of Nations. Another rainy season will start in about six caught between two fires. II League would do no moro about Ethiopia than they did about Manchuria. He is now on the spot and wants to get out th,e best way he can, in the shortest possible time. a e e e e The rival editor holds to a different opinion. The League's face will be saved but economic and financial sanctions will not be effective. Ultimately England will probably hold a pro tectorate over western Ethiopia, and Itnly over the rest of it. France has all the African territory she can take care of and is only interested in maintaining the League, as her first defense against Germany. So ho expects to see no' European war over Ethiopia unless there is something like the assassination of the Crown Prince at Sarajevo in 191J, in which event anything might happen. s ' . . , And if England should go to war, would Canada hop in to help her as she did in 1911? Probably but very reluctantly the editors agree on this phase of the problem. "Probably" because of sentiment, the inborn and inbred devotion of Cana dians to their king and their fatherland. "Reluctantly" be cause the people of Canada as a for in 1914 and are united and whole hearted in their desire for peace. Moreover Canada has autonomy today. .' a a a Very different then, than it was in 1914. We happened to be here in Victoria that year, just after war had been declared. We shall never forget the enthusiasm and excitement that pre vailed, the glitter and glamour of the Empress hotel in the evvning, the gold and scarlet of the officers' uniforms, the dashing Seotties, the skirling Highland bagpipes, the beautiful women, the adoring and adorable English girls, everyone on their toes, rarin' to go it was Waterloo again I How different it would be, now. More than that we have an idea the glamour and romance of war, such as was to be seen in Canada and England in 1914, people of the world learned so UNglamorous and UNromantie, rible, war really is. Or will the next generation forget all about itt Maybe so, but we have our "douts". During our Thanksgiving Day eight or ten pedestrians all and he was a world war veteran mopping up at Arriis (he pronounced it Harris) . . . there was a Victoria "bobby", a tobacconist, a chipper old boy aged 81 who was out for a llttlo of nn "aivin", and a bowleggcd rod faced member of tho proletariat from the fishing fleet. Only one of them, the veteran particular interest in the possibility ot war. Ho wouldn't mind if there was another war, he hadn t had a steady job for two years, and was too old for anything but guard duty behind the lines, anyway. But they would take him he was a great "bayoncter". All were agreed on this however! Mussolini would be person ally responsible for this war just one. The rank and file nave to fits into the rolo perfectly. The Canadian veteran had ft lini. Thinks he is rot only after Ethiopia but Egypt and control of the Mediterranean with the help of his U-bont and airplane fleets. Has iilanned his continent of the world for a long time. In fact Mussolini was personally tion of King Ferdinand of Tueo - soil so Franco and the Little Entente would be alienated.

' oils. grease, alkalis, petroleum, gaso line, 1 ol vents, paints, cleaning fluids, insecti cides, dlslnfect a n t s and the like, suffer more or leas from erup tions on hands and arms. Such Irritation. Itching, rawness, soreness, derma titis or eczema, as you will, mcy be due mainly to the injurious effect of the chemical Irritant to which the worker Is constantly exposed. But It Is Just as likely to be due mai.ily to wrong habits of cleaning up after the trick of duty and to improper care of the sktn. In the first place, workers often resort to hurry-up methods to cleanse their hands end arms, and that means Inadequate cleansing or the use of powerful solvents which are them selves Irritants, or incomplete drying. The rite of cleaning up after this' trick of duty should be thoroughly done, on the employer's time, not on the worker's time. Enough time should be given for this, since it la to the employer's advantage to save tho hands of his employe. Instead of using harsh grit or sand cleansers, which may be convenient for the quick cleansing of hands oc casionally soiled with such substances, the mechanic or machinist whose hands are In contact with irritants every working day should us only a mild hand cleanser, preferably one having a vegetable fibre base. Such cleansers have proved quite as effc tlve as the harsher sand or grit soaps. First, the hands and arms should be gently scrubbed with such a clean ser and warm water, not too hot. Then this should be rinsed off with tepid or finally cool water. Then the skin should be thoroughly dried, pref erably by blotting with warm dry towel or absorbent paper. When the skin is quite dry, apply a mixture of equal parts of lanolin and olive oil, to replace the natural akin oil or sebum which has been dissolved out and removed by tne chemicals and by the soap used for cleaning. See that the olive oil and lanolin mixture Is fresh, not old and rancid. Also see that your supply of It ts yours alone, not a common supply which may be contaminated by others dipping their fingers Into it. ' NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Oct. 39.

"It Is the Intention to pass rom the purely Imaginary phases necessi tated by & grave national crisis to a long time, more' permanent plan for American agriculture. One good, long-time plan for Amer ican agriculture would be for the government to let efficient farmers alone and quit coddling and subsidiz ing the lnefflr nt ones. Neither governments nor anybody olse can promote efficiency by SUBSI DIZING INEFFICENCY, , (Continued from Page One) might find there a more credible ex planation, in a few suggestions that some of the farmers were raging, not against Mr. Roosevelt or particularly against the corn-hog program, but decidedly against some of the men chosen by the AAA to administer it. Also you might find there a mite of farm re about favoritism and unfairness In the complex local ad ministration. Such report would explain ade quately who the AAA boys would want the president to Issue a per sonal statement Indirectly dlMVowlng such things and promising simplifi cation of administration, as he did. If the AAA field reports are frank, they will contain something along the line of a conftd.ntlsl survey re cently made by a Roosevelt investi gator from a Rocky Mountain state. It was his conclusion that If Mr. Roosevelt was slipping any In the farm regions. It was solely because of "the greedy, selfish, arrogant misuse of power by thO!e entrusted with the ad n.tnlst ration of committees nd commls.il -ns set up by the n a Mortal administration at Washington." Following are two excerpts reflect ing his studied analysis: "In this state the director of the extension service is an active candi date hr the nomination for governor. "The farm orcttnlratlon wis once under leadership of a real master farmer today the oleture pre sented 1 that of a dead local, a dying county and a top-neavy state ota nlr.Uion. receiving substance from the cooperative dtsp.sal org .is ration of the stte. Tills latter ts the only helpful orwanlratlon the farmers have, and it deducts enough from the in come of f urn members to keep ellve a itate agricultural organization. '"There are meet live 5f farmers, called by the farm organisation, at which few farmers are to be found and none Is permitted to speak. The few who do attend are crowded into the back w?at and listen o the presi dents of busted banks, extenlc workers, college prof clears from Uome and abroad, borne demonstrators, music masters and piano tuners, who head farm relief agencies. Ths farm agencies have been taken over by men 'who have never raised anything but their hats.M The political conclusions of this admire of the president were: "In the election of 1934. any can didate with Democratic label who promised to uphold the president was elected automatically. This will not be true In 1936V The voters in the farming section and the small towns will thresh the wheat from the chaff. "To say that the farmers of the west will be with the president does not mean that they are with the-new dealers whose only Interest In state and national politics Is that it leads them to the political pie counter. Neither is It mesnt to Imply that they can be won over by any such slogan as:. 'Save the Constitution.'' All of which would seem to cost a more understanding light behind the president's latest farm assurances tnd the corn-hog vote than anything yet offered by the new deslers. Someone looking very much like Mrs. Hoover was out horsebacklng on the Potomac bridle paths the other day. The former first lady frequent ly comes to Washington to visit friends, but her visits never get into the papers.

Communications The Low Down on Deer To the Editor: With the passing of the open sea son, on buck deer comes the an nouncement of discovery, by a Mail Tribune columnist, bf a freak variety "muletall" deer found in the Mt. Mc Laughlin vicinity. , For thousands of years the mule deer has faithfully stuck to his par ticular range and migrated north and south as the seasons roll by. The Coast or Columbia blacktall has here tofore been equally persistent in mi grating to high altitudes in spring, returning to the foothills and valleys In tutumn. This is Just one of many traits, or habits, which pre vents the mixing of species in the deer fsmlly. Hybrids certstnly hap pen along occasionally, but they are very, very rare. The Mt. McLaughlin deer are imaginary hyrtds as Is easily proven. The deer which Mr. Dick Applegate says "were plentiful about two weeks ago" along the Butte Falls-Lake of the Woods road and "seem to be bio logical freaks, apparently being a cross between the muetail and the Colum bia blacktall" are plain Columbia black-tailed bucks of ordinary size. The prize winner from that sector was killed by a Mr. Fredenburg of Butte Falls. The big fellow was fully 100 pounds lighter than a record mule deer. Mr. Applegate further states: "Only they don't have mule tails. The tails are black, as tn the smaller variety." He also mentions & deer found along the coast as being similar to his hy brid. They are the same Columbia blacktall. . The name "muletalP is misleading. The "mule deer" was so named be cause or Its large, mulish ears not through any tail resemblance. Botb the mule and Columbia are black tailed deer. The black-tailed deer group Is composed of nine mora or less distinct varieties. One sub-species was suspected of being hybrid. Mr. Applegate can obtain facts re garding the sire and weight of Mt, McLaughlin buck from the Mall Tribune files, Jrom Med ford sporting goods stores, or from various sporting magazine editors. Hundreds of them have been measured and weighed. They have never before been placed In the hybrid category even to fill up column space that's hoole, too. this year that's hoole, too. JOHN H. HEONER.
