Shanghai.-Local Chinese mer. chants and the Kiangsu Provincial Government are endeavouring to restrict the pony racing in the Munisipality of Greater Shanghai and to bring an end to the sale of cash sweeps tickets. It will be noted that these people do not ask

Loss to Revenue,

An Obvious situation.

The situation has become so obvious that Senator Caraway, Democrat from Arkansas, told the United Press he would introduce, when the Senate convenes three weeks hence, a resolution calling for a senatorial, inquiry into lobby- ing. He wants to use the material The Kings Government returned up by such an investigation cently sent a delegate to Shanghaite press action on his bill to re- to investigate conditions and be has found that the people attend!quire lobbyists to register their names and organizations with the ruce ineeings with the intention of clerk of the House. winning money.

It will be difficult, he thinks, to suppress pony racing altogether in Chinese territory be cause nearly seven lakhs of dollars are paid to the Municipality of

For eigners in the Settlement already have done away with enah sweeps and they have restricted the nun- ber of greyhound meetings and, since the Chinese are demanding that greyhound racing should be suppressed, their example should be followed in Chinese territory.

Greyhound Racing,

A check of Senators' officer shows most of the mail about tariff comes from those who want duties lower than the three cent rate provided in the House Bill. The bulk of petitions comes from American businessmen who will sell products in Cuba and, who claim a high sugar rate against Cuba will ruin their export business there, and. from large American consumers of sugar.

MODERN DAIRY EQUIPMENT.

AN INTERESTING MACHINE.

..

EXHIBITED AT ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW,

One of the most interesting ma- chines exhibited at the Royal Agri- cultural Society of England's Show at Harrogate this year was the Pioneer Bottle Washer, mude by Barford & Perkins, Ltd., of Peterborough.

With this machine the inside of the bottle is washed on a single re- volving brush, but the outside, neck and bottom of the bottle ia thoroughly washed by means of brushes, without the operator hold- ing the battles in position; con- sequently, this leaves both his hands free for other purposes.

* 2,000–3,000 Per Hour! This enables him to change the bottles with extraordinary rapid- ity with practice at the rate of between 40 and 50 bottles per minute or approximately 2,000- 3,000 per hour.This is more than 50 per cent, greater than the quantity of bottles which can be satisfactorily washed on the pre- vious types of single brush bottle washers.

Power for operating the mecha” nism is supplied by steam "turbine, revolving at up to 4,000 rpn., using 5 lb. per #q. in. steam pressure. Attached to the spindle of the turbine is a bottle brush for cleansing the inside of bottle. The outer brushes are con- tained in the cast iron casing with the brushes secured to the casing.

The brushes are so shaped that the outside of the bottle and the end is thoroughly scrubbed when the bottle is turned owing to the friction set up by the inside clean- ing brush and the inside of the bottle.

Revolving Bristles.

Brushes at the right and left of the bottle are made from bristles and they are caused to revolve owing to the contact with the bottle turning on the inner brush. This action thoroughly cleans the out- side of the bottle. The lower brush is shaped concavely to fit the bottle closely and is made from stif bristles so that the bottle will rest parallel to the turbine spindle. The upper brush helps to keep the battle in alignment with spindle.

In the majority of small dairies a single brush machine is used for washing bottles. These machines only wash the inside of the bottle by means of the brush; the "out- side is necessarily washed by the hands of the operator who, CODNU. quently must use both hands and hold the bottle on the brush.

The new machine is small, cheap and economical, and in practice need not necessarily be confined to the smalleat dairies. It may very well take the place of larger and much more expensive rotary con- veyor washing machines in larger dairies.

Fór use in conjunction with this machine or, of course, indepen- dently, a multiple jet bottle rinser was exhibited.

During the whole operation of rinsing it is unnecessary for the bottle to be touched by hand, and it is an easy matter to rinse, 40– 30 bottles per minute.

PUNJAB SIKHS.

ERECTION OF SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

OPPOSITION TO

A serious situation has resulted in the village in the Gurdaspur district by the attitude taken up by Sikh Jats who have declared that they will not allow the erec- tion of slaughter. houses in their neighbourhood. It is stated they went in a body to the Superin- tendent of Police, who is stationed in the vicinity of the village in which a slaughter house had been erected and subsequently demolish- ed by Sikhs and submitted that they would make the village Ån- other Guruka Bagh by sending batches of Alkalis to court arrest. The authorities are understood to have decided to furnish a police guard during the building of the slaughter house.

A similar position exists in Fazilka where the grant of permis- sion for the erection of a slaughter- house by the Deputy Commis sioner, Ferozepore, last year caus. ed great agitation among the Hindus of that locality. It is ter ported that a site has been select- ed, for the erection of the slaughter house and it has been approved by the authorities. So far the Hin dus are quiet, but trouble is es pected when a start is made with the building.
