According to the returns of the decennial census of Canada, the population of Canada today is 11,419,896 as compared with 10,376,786 in 1931, the year of the last decennial count. It may be noted that the area of Canada in square miles is larger than that of the United States, whose population is something in the neighbourhood of 137,000,000. Census figures in 1871, when the first count was made, showed a population of 3,689,257. Motor Collision. Two women were injured in a collision between motor-cars at the corner of Tory Street and Vivian Street, Wellington, at 12.50 a.m. yesterday, the collision resulting also in the window of a factory building on the northeastern corner being broken. Those injured were Mrs K. Morgan, 5 Moselle Street, Island Bay, who received an injury to her back, and Miss E. Peterson, 20 Marion Street, factory assistant, who received slight concussion and an injury to her right ankle. They were taken to hospital by the Free Ambulance. Both cars were extensively damaged, one about the front and the other along one side. Khaki Shirts Forbidden. The reason why the German authorities for some time did not permit khaki shirts to be sent to prisoners of war was explained by an official of the Prisoners of War Inquiry Office during the weekend in answer to complaints sometimes received from next-of-kin about the changing instructions of what can be sent to prisoners. The German authorities had previously maintained that khaki shirts might be worn without coats in summer, with the result that the prisoners’ clothing might then look too much like that worn by German civilians, It was therefore recommended that only shirts of a material which would not normally be worn without a coat should be sent.. Representations had been made and the International Red Cross now advised that khaki shirts would be permitted.
