The Grand Trunk was- built parallel to the Canadian Pacific and in this way helped to open up still more new terri­ tory. Canadian writers are steadily climb­ ing nearer to the top in the world of literature. Exoeil'ent motor highways are uni­ versal throughout the country. A trip across the continent which once took many weary months, is now made in a few weeks with an automobile or in a few days on one of the fast trans­ continental trains. Easy transportation, telegraph lines', telephones and radiios are daily draw­ ing Halifax and Vancouver closer and closer together. To-day Montreal is one of Canada’s greatest ports. Scarcely half a cen­ tury ago it possessed only a crowded, dirty harbor which could only accom­ modate from two hundred and fifty to three hundred tons in weight. The inland waterways are being de­ veloped and in the future we may wit­ ness the seeming impossible sight of European vessels loading grain from the elevators at Fort William. Our country lies in the great path­ way of commerce; her transcontin­ ental lines furnish the shortest routes around the world. She has the great­ est natural resources of any nation in the world and as these are developed she will take her place among the fore­ most nations of the earth. In 1867 we first obtained truly Demo­ cratic Government, that is, Govern­ ment by the people for the people. In this ou.r Diamond Jubilee Year we have sent our first ambassador to a foreign .country, the Honorable Vin­ cent Massey, Canada’s representative in Washington.

Paris Journal: Questions of great importance must be settled. There is, in the first place the defence of the West. No power surely has had so many illusions as Britain about the possibility of finding a common ground upon which capitalist society and the Soviets could meet; no power has been more rudely shaken from her dream.

Scotland's great ciectrfnU scheme, by which it is proposed to concentrate generating plants within ten, and eventually sin, stations, instead of forty-two, a?, at present, ir, rtgard^ as one of the most important develop­ ments since the industrial revolution. Thu project, takes in practically tha, whole of the industrial belt, covexing an area of about square miles and affecting more than S,700,WO of the total population of b^IllO/MO. It will take ten years to ccinpiete it, and the cost will be in the neighborhood, of £6,0Ws0Q0. The shutting down of the smaller and less efficient stations and the interconnection of those better locat­ ed and better equipped should react to the benefit .of the consumer in pro­ viding cheaper power. In other countries, and particularly in the Un­ ited States, this policy has yielded highly satisfactory results, so that there is no reason why it should not prove equally beneficial to Scotland. Indeed, kfere has been in recent years a decided trend toward a closer inter­ connection of electric power systems. - What effect this electrical develop­ ment will have upon the future in­ dustrial situation is a matter of con­ jecture. People of authority are credited with the belief that it is upon such development that the prosperity of British industry will rest. While this statement is perhaps farther than many people would care to go, the possibilities of electrical energy in helping to remove the depression which has "marked shipbuilding, coal mining and enginereing in the past few years are conceded to be immense. There is also the additional consid­ eration that ths project will tend to disperse the population rather than congregate it in the^ towns, in con­ trast with the opening up of coal mines around which large factories clustered. England and Wales will watch the scheme with great intorest, for il the first of the projects who*h. Great Britain has formulated. It will hr followed at the end of the year by five other plans for. electrification in various parts o England. With such developments in view, great changes rtain to take place in the pi situation—changcu that far-reaching effects not upon rhe mother country but also other parts of the Empire. — fC lidn Srifiiee Zifr a.’torJ MAKE BETTER HOME MADE BREAD IV’good photograph of myself, at present.

Less than four hundred years ago Jacques Cartier raised the Fleur-de-lis at Gaspe, thus claiming the land in the name of the King of France; but he little dreamed of the vast territory that stretched away to the Pacific. Until the coming of the English the St. Lawrence valley and the Maritimes were the only settled parts of Canada. To-day she occupies more than half a continent. It has been said that she covers so much sur- fee that all the climate® of Europe are found within her borders. True, only a narrow strip along the southern edge has been brought ‘ under cultivation but each year this strip grows wider and wider. In Ontario and Quebec where the fertile soil end® the rich mineral lands begin. This source of wealth has been lying for centuries just beneath the barren surface yet its discovery is comparatively recent. Canada now 'supplies ninety per cent, of the nickel and cobalt used in the world, as well as eighty-five per cent, of the asbestos. She ha® been known to Europeans for almost four hundred years yet the most of her growth hast been made during the last fifteen decade®. With the] coming| of| the) United) Empire Loyalists her era of progress dawn­ ed. These people, loyal to their king, left comfortable homes in the re­ volted colonies1 to come to Canada, then an almost unknown wilderness. Ontario owes its beginning to them. Under the early British rule the Gov-, ernment of Canada was quite as des­ potic as it was during the French regime. The “new subjects” as the ■French Canadians were called were well satisfied with this system, having known nothing better; but the “old subject®*-’ complained continually, for they had absolutely no share in the government. However, with the Loyalists' there came a change. Owing to their agitation the Constitutional Act, which gave a measure of self- government, was passed in 179}. Grudgingly the unbroken forests gave way to tiny clearings. By slow degrees good waggon roads were built and school® and churches were opened up. These were few and far between and many people grew up with only the rudiments of education. Large numbers could not even read or write. To-day there are fine school systems in all the provinces' and education is free to every one. The Constitutional Act did not end the struggle tor self-government. In 1837 a rebellion broke out in both Upper and Lower Canada. This- was easily put down but it had the desired effect of arousing the British Gov­ ernment to the needs of Canada and, on the advice of Lord Durham the Union Act was passed in 1840. Still the Bitai^ggile flor reialiy Democratic Government went on until1 a scheme evolved in the minds of far-seeing statesmen. The British North America Act was passed in 1867 and four prov­ inces, Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were united under the name of Canada. From that time on the growth of our country has1 been almost miraculous. At the time of Con­ federation the population was about three and a half mifllions. On. this our Sixtieth Anniversary there are more than nine and a half million people. The population ha® been almost tripled in little more than half a century.

Then the jewel is in the na­ ture of a payment in advance.” “My God, mar., you’re not decent!” M. Binet jrotested. “Decent?” Andre-Louis’ smoulder­ ing eyes turned to discharge upon M.

The great traveling carriage drew up at the lighted portals of the Fey­ dau, and M. le Marquis stepped out. He entered the theatre with Chabril­ lane, all unconsciously to deliver him­ self into the hand® of Andre-Louis. In the interval after the second act, Andre-Louis sought the dressing­ room shared by Polichinelle and Rho- domont. Pblichinelle was in the act of changing. “I shouldn’t trouble to change,” he said. “The piece isn’t likely to go beyond my opening scene of the next act with Leandre.” He was gone. Rhodomont stared at Polichinelle. Polichinelle stared at Rhodomont. As they approached the wings a roar of applause met them coming from the audience. It was 'applause and something else; applause on an unusual note. As it faded away they heard the voice of Scaramouche ring­ ing clear as a bell: “And so you see, my dear M. Leandre, that when you speak of the Third Estate, it is necessary to be more explicit. What precisely is the Third Estate?” “Nothing,” said Leandre.
