with Ood Liver Oil, good food and constant ‘ scraping produces slow, but good
results in most cases.
The number of abnormal midwifery is steadily decreasing. This is due
partly to improved weaving conditions, and partly because the native midwives
are now afraid to perform the awful deeds which they formerly performed.
Public opinion has also been raised as a fruit of the years of midwifery and
welfare work by the C. M. S. workers.
12. Russian Tirade Interests .—There was hardly any Russian trade^ acti
vity during the year. The former Russian Sales Agent in Kerman, Sheikh
Abdul Qasim Harandi, who got into trouble with the Police in Tehran in dune
1933, in connection with his relations with the Russians, and kept under deten
tion until October of the same year, though allowed to return to Kerman m
Afav 1934, is thoroughly disgusted with the Soviet authorities, whom he con
siders responsible for all the trouble to which he was put in Tehran.
In order, apparently, to convince the local authorities of his complete aliena
tion with the Russians, Sheikh Abdul Qasim refused to handle a consignment of
200 large tins of Russian kerosine which was consigned to him by the Soviet
Trade authorities in Tehran in the month of June. He protested that the
consignment had been sent to him without his knowledge or consent, and, in
spite of the fact that he had already expressed his unwillingness to handle any
more Soviet goods. A third party volunteered eventually to dispose of the
consignment, most of which v T as bought for use in the recently-erected wool

in Kerman.
A local trader who attempted to sell Russian kerosine in small A. P. 0. C.
tins was x>ro seen ted by the Company’s representative in Kerman, at the latter
part of the vear, and found guilty by the local courts. It is hoped that the
incident vdl put a stop to further similar encroachments on the Company's
rights.
13. Military and Conscription .—Sarhang Muhammad Khan Maimand held
the post of Commanding Officer of the Kerman Independent Brigade through
out the vear. He proceeded on leave to Tehran on the 20th March and returned
at the end of July, during which time Naib Sarhang All Khan Muha.jir, Conn
mandant of the Razmjoo (Infantry) Regiment, held acting charge of the
Brigade.
The Officer Commanding gave a Garden Party, with fire-works and illumina
tions, on the evening of the 21st February, to celebrate the anniversary of the
Coup d That, and a military display on the parade ground on the following
morning. The latter show, which consisted of gymnastics, drill, mounted exer
cise and some artillery practice, was a great success and reflected credit on the
military authorities in Kerman,
According to unconfirmed news emanating from the military barracks, the
status of the Kerman Brigade was to be raised to that of an Army in the near
future.
The constructions of new and more extensive cavalry barracks and Officers’
Club being under consideration, several plans were submitted to Tehran during
the year, of which one is said to have been approved.
Conscription.—mb Sarhang Farajullah Khan Mushar remained in charge
of the Conscription Department throughout the year. While he was on leave
to Tehran between the end of August 1934 and middle of March 1935, Yawar
Mu’izzi held acting charge.
More activitv was shown by the Military authorities in hunting after
absentee recruils and enquiring into cases of exemption on account of medical
unfitness and on other grounds.
Three lots of recruits, numbering about 250 in all, were brought in from
Yezd at the latter part of the year.
14. Persian Baluchistan and RwJhur.—Exaggerated news about the rising
bv Baluch outlaws was received at Kerman at the end of October, when gangs
of Baluchis were said to be making raids into the districts of Kashit, situated
to the south of Shahdad, along the western borders of the Lut. One military
detachment was promptly sent out from Kerman at the end of October and a
second one in the beginning of March. The forces sent out succeeded in chas
ing. the outlaws away from the neighbourhood of Shahdad and continued their
