Ottawaâ€"An international board is to study preservation of the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls. Agreement to this end has been reached between the Governments of the United States and Canada, the board consisting of: Canadaâ€"J. T. Johnston, Director of Water Power and Regulation; Dr. Charles Campbell, Deputy Minister of Mines. United Statesâ€"Major D. C. Jones, United States Corps of Engineers, Buffalo; J. Horace McFarland, for- mer President of the American Civic Association. The board will not consider the questio of allocation as between Can- ada and the United States, of any ad- ditional power which could be made avaiiabie. This is a matter reserved for subsequent negotiation. “While the investigation which has been agreed upon by the two govern- ments has prtmarily in View the study of the conditions which have been, and are adversely affecting the scenic beauty of the Falls, with a view to designing such remedial works as are feasible for the protection of the Falls from further erosion, and for the pre- servation of their scenic beauty. The study will also include an investiga- tion into the total amount of water which, in conjunction with the restora- tion and maintenance of the scenic beauty of the Falls, could be released for the development of power. The board will not consider the question of allocation as between Canada and the United tSates of any additional water which it may find could be made avail- able. This is a matter reserved for subsequent negotiation.” 679,410 War Casuals Dependexit on Berlin Berlinâ€"There are 679,410 casuals of the World War wholly dependent upon the Federal government for sup- port. They are so badly maimed or diseased that their earning capacity, if any, is less than 25 per cent. of nor- mal. Included in the total are 1,150 women, chiefly former Red Cross nurses. The War Ministry, which publishes the statistics, calls attention to the fact that 65 per cent. of the incapaciâ€" tated were more than 30 years old when'they entered the service. Nearly 20' per cent. are now over 50. In the province of Hessen-Nassau the war casuals total 2.2 per cent. of the en- tire population and in Bavaria 1.4 per cent. London.-â€"How widely the foibles of the Prince of Wales for sartorial effect are watched and copied has just come out at a meeting of business men dis- cussing trade secrets. It was related that the heir to the throne on one occasion was seen wearing a bright Fair Is‘.e sweater. Overnight this fact created an enormous demand. The 'hand knitters in Faihlsle, in the Shet- land Islands OFF the coast of Scotland, suddenly were so swamped with ord- ers some of them had to be turned over to Doneg‘ai knitters.

Locomotive dvriving has a keen attraction for some men of wealth and leisure. Londonâ€"Travelers to and from the tube station at Trafalgar Square have had to walk some distance in the subâ€" terranean tunnel to reach their trains for over a year past. But now the sound of hammers and pneumatic drills has ceased and the fine new hall and escalators have been opened. The lifts which have been in use for 20 years have done their last trip and the station, when the finishing touches have been added, will be right upâ€"to- date. London Tube Station Has New Escalators The Bakerloo was one of the first of London’s tube railways, and though Trafalgar Station now deals with 4,- 000,000 passengers yearly, the new arrangements are capable of dealing with double that number. Another great convenience which is in course of construction is a public subway from the station to Cockspur Street under the very wide maze of traffic crossings which goes on above. Canadians Ratify Londonâ€"The Canadian Govern- ment has formally ratified four conâ€" ventions relating to seamen’s welfare, adopted at different annual sessions of the International Labor Conference of the League of Nations, these being the first formal ratifications to be re- ceived from Canada, it is announced here. Two of these conventions were adopted at the second session of the conference held at Genoa in 1920, and referred to the fixing of the minimum age of employment at sea at 14 and the payment of unemployment in- demnity to seamen in the case of loss or foundering of their ship. The other two were adopted at the third session in Geneva in 1921 and referred to the fixing of the minimum age for employ- ment as trimmers and stokers at 18, and the comp Jlsory medical examina- tion of children employed on board ship, The last three conventions were ratified in March by Great Britain.

King, federal ento- mologist, has returned from a visit to Kronau and Lakeport Lajord dis- tricts and reports that about 1,000 acres of wheat have been wholly or partially destroyed in those districts.
