While the acreage devoted to wheat in the Canadian West this season Will be somewhat smaller than last yoar, owing to delay in seeding, the general crop situation is 'promisifig, Tho pros­ pects are splendid because of ‘mois-; turo, the cool weather tending to de­ velop good roots and bring out a stronger stand. Oats and barley are coming along well. The construction program is flow well undei' way. Engineering works, road building and railway construc­ tion form important items. There are 1 a number of factories, warehouses, Hour miJK elevators and othei’ trad­ ing facilities being built, nouns and appears to work. Businozs country is in excess of last year. Tho dollar volume of business in the first four months of the. current yoar has been 7.,4 per cent, greater than ’in tho similar period ow 1926; 21..2 per cent, greater than in 1925, and 24..2 per cent, greater than in 1924, No Setback in Sight. There seems little possibility of any setback in business, othersthan a mild recession, for some time to come. Manufacturing is keeping paco with demand, and merchants are stocking goods only for immediate require­ ments. z~> Thcro is s.till a tendency among producers and dealers to avoid large commitments until prices become more stabilized. For some months back the general level of wholesale prices has been downward, although the movement has not taken on the appearance of a slump. During May, however, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics’ index commodities rose 3.4, being compared with 14S.5 in April, crease in the general index most solely due to the much higher levels for grains, flour and potatoes. Stocks on hand are reported loss than usual. The outlook for the metal continues good. Interest quarter needs is developing advances, and sellers of iron and steel anticipate some fair tonnages in the near future. Prices seem to be hold­ ing their own despite the contraction. Industry, apart from seasonal fluc­ tuations and the intervention of holi- .■ clays, is setting a swift pace. Motor- cai’ production is increasing. May was a record-breaking month for General Motors. The plants at -Oshawa, Ont., produced 12,190 cars duripg the month, exceeding May of last year by 58 per cent. Iron and Steel Output. In the grain trade contracts total­ ing $119,00 have been let in connec­ tion with the addition to the Burrard elevator at ancouver. Transmission machinery will be supplied by Cana­ dian Vickers, Ltd., and the structural steel by McLennan, McFeely & Co. Additions to three Port Arthur ele­ vators this season will cost $670,000. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that production of iron and ^steel and„ their products inxCanada during 1926 amounted in value to $496,376,260, being an increase of 23 per cent, over the total for 1925 and higher -output value than in any other year since’1920, The operating capital of the indus­ try at $592,134,860 was 4 per cent, higher than in the previous year; the number of employees was 101,414, compared with 90,125 in 1925. Metal production in Northern' On­ tario is - increasing rapidly. Output from the mines of Cobalt, South Lor- rain and Gowganda silver district has finally reached a total of $250,000,000. This is the second mining camp in northern Ontario to reach this figure. ..... .1 **!■ ■♦*<>■ —— The Wisdom of the Ancients La Bresse* (Ind.): (Maurice Hutton, Principal of University College, To- ■ ronto, considers that insufficient at­ tention is paid ^nowadays to the study ; of the great ancient philosophers, such as Plato and- Aristole).

The statement of Miss Dorothy Lumblin, Bush Is­ land, N.S., will bring hope to othei* weak girls. She says:—“I wish from my heart I could persuade every per­ son 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, 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 standby in the future if ever my blood needs build­ ing 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 Wr.

Strength of the Chinese Army “While in organization, leadership and equipment the Chinese army to­ day cannot compare favorably with the armies of the United States and European powers, it is -vastly superior to the old Chinese army of a genera­ tion ago, when the battles were noth­ ing but horrid Chinese troops, most -primitive be the unhappy terrifying and rifles of the invaders,” Chen Wang, former editor of The Pe­ king Express, in Juno Current His­ tory. “To-day the well-equipped Chinese Army has latest model rifles, artil­ lery, trench mortars and machine guns, either manufactured in the leading Chinese arsenals or pur­ chased abroad. Armoured trains and .motor cars are now used, .and hand grenades and poison gas ' are also made, though they have not yet come into common use. Trepch warfare is now5 .the general rule and airplanes serve in observation and bombing. “Owing to many factors it is impos­ sible to obtain any accurate figures regarding the actual number of men under arms in China. ’ Writing in the ‘Eastern Miscellany, a leading Chinese monthly, a Chinese authority com­ piled an, exhaustive list of all the known divisions, brigades and regi­ ments after the Shanghai war of 1924 and reached the staggering total of 210 divisions and 180 brigades, or, in round numbers, 3,000,000 men under arms I The British-edited China Year Book for 1926-1927 suggests that 2,- 000,000 is probably a safe estimate. Since the Nationalist campaign to uify China began last Fall, the num­ ber of soldiers must have increased, so an estimate that tends toward the 3,000,000 mark would not seem exag­ gerated. If the powers should now decide upon a policy of armed inter­ vention in China which is very un­ likely), they must be prepared to wnue a s'teaay increase m me lation is desirable and while Canadj Cannot hope to -attain great progress, in Coming years without it, anxiety, to obtain it too speedily may necessi-i tato sacrifices which tho people of| Canada do not dare to make.

Oxford Troubled by Sex “Dons of ancient Oxford have at­ tacked sex problems and coeducation as allied enemies to the scholastic ad­ vancement of the university’s young men. By a margin of sixty-five they have voted to reduce the number of feminine students to a ratio of one woman for four men. Proponents of the new limitation declare the co­ education has been attended by an undesirable increase in freedom be­ tween the sexes to the detriment of study. If this be true, the condition constitutes a challenge to coeduca­ tion. However, it strikes us that the contentions of Miss Marjorie Fry, principal of Somifierville College, who opposed reduction, more nearly'“ap­ proximate the actual truth. Leading the defense for her sex Miss Fry de­ clared that manifestations of easy sex relations are not confined to Oxford, but have been clearly in evidence throughout the world since the war. This observation is so obviously prac­ tical as to make it seem unlikely that mere reduction in the ranks of wo­ men students will provide a remedy for the purported increasing interest of Oxford students in the opposite sex. Since the war, coeducational in­ stitutions in the United States have faced a similar condition. Twenty years ago, mingling of the sexes in many of these institutions was frowii- ed upon by the student bodies them­ selves. Since the war, however, fra­ ternization has become more rand Thore the rule. Educators in this country have not viewed the matter with any great alarm. Probably it will do the Oxford dons little good to take drastic measures. If their stu­ dents want feminine companionship, and find the supply curtailed in the vicinity of their college walls, they will doubtless search for it else­ where.” — (From the Independent, Boston), Woman Suffered Nearly a Year.
