Melbourne, Vic.—The Victorian wool selling season has ended, although the Australian statistical wool year does not end until June 30, Seldom has the selling end of the trade experienced so satisfactory a sea son, with the withdrawals at auction po small. Victorian sales have been held alternately at Melbourne’ and Geelong, the latter being the centre of a large wool-growing area, and after the last sale, the selling brok ers’ warehouses were practically empty. From July 1, 1926, till Feb. 28 (to which must be added the March fig-< ures which are not yet available),; 458, 030 bales were disposed of. The; season opened in Melbourne in the 1 last week in September at a high I level, the only unsatisfactory feature] being that competition was chiefly ’ confined to the European section, with moderate support only from Japan and America. The outstanding feature of the season was the activity of Japan in . the market. The demand from this section throughout was most insistent, and Japanese requirements have em braced a wide range of qualities. This 1 demand indicates that a large and probably increasing export trade in textiles has been established through out. tiiel East. Spectacular prices in - top lots in previous seasons have been due to American competition for them but , in the absence of any real keenness by these operators to put a premium on . such wools they have come within the scope of tho best Bradford and Eur opean spinners, the highest priced ] lots having been obtained during the , season by one or other of these.— Monitor Bureau. Contractors Seek Legal Right to Cross Streets With Approaches. Detroit, Mich.—Although ground has been broken for the international bridge over the Detroit River connect ing Detroit and Windsor, Ont., con struction will be held up temporarily; The American Transit Company, sponsor of the bridge, has definitely decided to. ask the Detroit Council to call a special election upon a referen dary ordinance giving the company permission to cross several streets with the bridge approach. The com pany has expressed its willingness to pay the expenses of 'this special elec tion and ha-s requested that it bo held early this summer. This action has been taken follow ing the commencement of injunction proceedings by John W. Smith, Mayor, who contends that the approval of -the people of Detroit must be given-before a permit or franchise for the construc tion of the bridge -can be given by De troit city officials, The-se proceedings were started by Mayor Smith after a permit resolution approving the p-lans for the bridge was passed by council over his veto. Officials of the construction com pany, in asking for a special election, state that bankers refuse to invest money in the project until all possible legal obstructions are removed. The- power to regulate tolls for the bridge will lie solely with the Minister of Rail ways of the Canadian Government and the United States- War Department, it Is stated. Control of Liquor Declared Failure. Winnipeg, Man.—At the annual meet ing of the Manitoba Prohibition Al liance, government control of the liquor traffic in Manitoba was termed an absolute failure, by speakers at the convention. It was shown that liquor convictions had increased steadily dur ing the three years since the business was placed under the control of a government commission. More than 60 per cent, of the beer produced in tilie Province had been sold Illegally, and each of the eight breweries oper ating in Manitoba had been convicted during the past year, some as- often as three times. The world would be much better off If it followed the example of the United States and adopted prohibition, de clared Mrs. He-l-cn Barton, of Glasgow, Scotland, who spoke at the meeting. temperance movement all over the ---.w^ld indicated that the prohibition sentiment was gaining headway. So far as Canada was concerned, Mrs. Barton asserted, it was regrettable that there seemed to be no vigorous effort to enforce the liquor law. Dealing with the referendum to be hold in Manitoba till® summer on the question of extending the facilities for obtaining liquor, the convention de clared Itself as utterly Opposed to the proposal. In case there should be, a favorable vote, howc-W, it went oh re cord as preferring the “.beer by the bottle”' plan to that which rtopbtsed the sale of “beer by -the F - a® the kvttor would mean the virtual return dt Mr and the treating system, and the return of private fidlo for pri- vale m’ofiT.

Need Such a Tonic as Dr. Wil liams’ Pink to Restore Health* When a girl in her teen becomes ale and sallow, especially if at the some time she shows inclination to tire easily, a listessness and inattention to her work or studies, she ifeeds Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a tonic which di rectly and specifically corrects the condition from which she is suffering.

Poor appetite, headaches, and sometitaes fainting spells follow; often the patient is nervous and is startled at the least noise. In all run down conditions there is no other tonic will build you up so quickly and so surely as Dr; Williams’ Pink Pills. The statement of Miss Dorothy Lumblin, Bush Island, N.S., wi-H bring hope to other weak girls. She says:—-“I wish from my heart I could persuade every person who is in a run-down condition to give Dr. Williams-' Pink Pills- a trial. About a year ago I was a weak girl suffering from Impoverished blood and a run-down system, with many of the attendant symptoms. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to take them, and after using six boxes I feel as well and strong as ever. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be my stand by in the future if ever my blood needs building up again, and I shall always find pleasure in recommending them to others.” You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. A.A.A. Gives Advice on How to Prepare Machine for Summer Tours. Washington.—With the time for annual summer trips drawing near, when the automobile must perform its ■best, with especial dependence* on brakes and steering gear, the Ameri can Automobile Association has issued a bulletin containing helpful counsels on the preparation of the car for the jaunt. The -car m-u-st be greased, the oil changed, all loose joints- must be tightened, the tire®, if any of them are worn to any extent, should be replaced, for starting out on weak tires may in some ca-ses prove very unwise. “No tour should be undertaken un til the car ha-s been thoroughly in spected,” Thomas P. Henry, president of the A. A. A. is .quoted as saying. “Particular attention should) be cen tered upon its safety features-. Brake® adequate for normal driving may prove incapable of performing up to the standard demanded on the tour. An other feature that frequently escapes attention is -the steering mechanism. Travel on the tour wil)l be- faster than one’s usual pace, therefore this- gear must be in the best of condition.- "Although it is not generally so re garded, -the engine is one of the car’s most important safety feature®. It must be performing at its best to de liver the extra power necessary for long trips at high speed. If one is- cer tain of the carburetion and timing, one will have little trouble under ordinary conditions.” “Ono thing to be remembered; Is that driving consistently at a reasonable speed you will cover many more miles a day than driving at a fast and irre gular speed.” Aviation in Canada.

Contrary to the belief of many, spin ning, weaving and many other house hold arts are not lost but still flourish in Canada. The old arts still live in the Province of Quebec, where they are an integral part of the household duties of the French-Canadians. One of the most interesting handi craft products is the “arrowed sash” or “C-einture flechee” once the popu lar and a-lmost indispensable part of the winter garb of the French-Cana dian “habitant.” The arrowed design accounts for its name and one can judge from the above photograph of a fine specimen that the art of weav ing s-uch a sash by hand would be dif ficult and extremely delicate. The finest "celnture® flcchees” were made in L’Assomption, near Berthier, Que bec, this handicraft still being carried on there. The use of a white sash somewhat similar dates back to the and. workmanship that are popularly known as -the "ceintures de l’Assomp- tion,” made in the district of that name. These sashes, which are very brilliant in color, are made on a method of design believed to have come from Acadia. The specimen shown above is worth $150.00 ,1s ten feet long, twenty-seven inches wide, with a fringe of thirty inches. Thousand® of persons saw the handi craft® of Quebec practiced at close range recently during' the Canadian Fo-lk^ Song and Handicraft Festival held, at the Chateau Frontenac, Que bec, May 20 to 22, being arranged by the National Museum of Canada and the Canadian Pacific Railway. This Festival was unique in musical and handicraft performances on the con tinent.
