Experiments with wireless telephones are 

 being carried out on a commercial scale in 

 the St. Maurice District but so far have not 

 proved successful. They are being watched 

 with great interest and it is hoped that 



they will ultimately prove successful. Ex- 

 periments are also under way between 

 Vancouver and Vancouver Island. When 

 the wireless telephone works properly it is 

 much clearer and more distinct than a land 

 line. 



MIGRATORY BIRD LAW UPHELD 



'T'HE migratory bird act of 1918, designed 

 to carry out provisions of a treaty be- 

 tween this country and Great Britain for 

 the protection of migratory birds, has been 

 held constitutional by the Supreme Court 

 at Washington. 



Justice Holmes, in rendering the major- 

 ity opinion, declared that "a national in- 

 terest of very nearly the first magnitude" 

 was involved, and that, except for the 

 treaty and the statute, there soon might be 

 no birds for any power to deal with. 



"We see nothing in the Constitution that 

 compels the Government to sit by while a 

 food supply is cut off and the protectors of 

 'our forests and our crops are destroyed,' " 

 Justice Holmes said.
