1918 Output of Vessels Greater
Than Any Previous Year.
A despatch from London .says:—
Lloyd's annual summary of mercantile
shipbuilding throughout the world in
1918 shows that the mercantile output
of the allied and neutral countries for
that year was 5,447,444 tons, This
figure has never previously been ap-
proached. It is more than 02 per
eent. higher than the output for 1913,

from the Western provinces. Accord-
ing to the -enthusiastic testimony of
this grim old seadog, more than 4,000
Canadians took part in this work.

GERMAN PROPOSES

WEATHER COLD 'IN
NORTH RUSSIA
But Health of Canadians is Good
and Winter Sports Serve
as a Diversion.
A despatch from London sari:—
From the latest arrivals front the
Miamian coast it is learned that the
Allied troops of the North Russian
expeditionary force are in good health
conditions anti the military authori-
ties are doing everything to alleviate
the discomforts of the extreme cold,
combined with the Arctic 24-hour
night. TM temperature was nearly
40 degrees below zero in Jauuarry, and
only three to four hours of daylight
during the month at Port Murmansk,
which is 200 miles within the Arctic
circle.
The troops' are mostly accommo-
dated with wood -lined log barricades
or col'l'apsible huts, fitted with sleep-
ing bunks sand Russian stoves. Vari-
ous entertainments are frequently
organized. Winter sports, especially
ski -dug, also rough shooting, are in-
dulged in. There are comparatively
few eases of frostbite owing to the
heavy supply of clothing.
The North Russian allied troops
are garrisoning 350 miles of the Mur -
man railway. Supplies for outposts
are despatched from the railhead,
sometimes 200 miles distant, by rein-
deer sledges, which are often driven
by the wotn-ezi folk. Two of the latter
have received) the Military Medal' for
gallant conduct in repelling enemy
raids on 'food convoys,
Murmansk is an ice -free port, but
the forces at Archangel are com-
pletely cut off from the outside world
for six months of the year. Inter-
communication between the two
forces commanded by Gen. Ironside
is only possible in winter time by
aeroplane. Major Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton is attached to Gen. Maynard's
headquarters -as an adviser on Arctic
equipment, while a special force of
Canadian officers and non-tcommis-
sioned officers, all experienced in
Kdondyke conditions, is attached to
the forces as instructors in Arctic
life. Teams of husky dogs have also
been specially sent from Canada for
transport work, though the local rein-
deer, which roam in herds over the
Lapp country, are chiefly used for
this purpose.
No Time to Count Three.
A group of negro soldiers were re-
ceiving instruction in the throwing of
;renals. At one,theyveru t
o pull
the firing pin; at two; draw back the
arm; at three, throw the grenade. The,,
captain explained to the nervous 'ne-
groes that five seconds would elapse
between the pulling of the pin and the
explision. "You nmst not throw too
soon," he said, "or some German is
likely to pick it up and toss it back.
Don't hold it too long, or it may blow
your arm off." Then he counted,
"One."
A little negro on the eud jerked the
pin, poised the grenade an Instant, and
threw it as far as he could.
"What''s the trouble there?" asked
the captain. "Didn't I tell you to hold
that until the count of three?"
"Why, man." said the recruit solemn-
ly. "Ale could feel that thing swellin'
in my hand."

BOOK ON - TUE BILITISif NAVY`
Lord Jellicoe Throws Light an the
Battle of Jutland
Lord Jellicoe's book on. the Grand
Fleet, which was published recently,
dwells on the dangers to which
it- was exposed when it was
short of cruisers and destroyers and
with bases defenceless owing to sub-
marines, mines and tropedoes,, He
points out that the German sea fleet
possessed 88 destroyers compared
with the Grand Fleet's 45. It is re-
vealed that owing to the submarine
menace the Grand Fleet moved to
Lough ,Swilly.. and returned to the
North Sea only when the Scapa'Flow
anchorage was rendered reasonably
safe. Lord Jellicoe says that neither
in 191.4 nor 1916 did the British mar -
:gin of superiority justify him in
disregarding the enemy's torpedo
fire. The position gradually improv-
ed after 1910, especially as light
cruisers and destroyers forces with
the Grand Fleet increased steadily
after the battle of Jutitlncl, consider-
ably reducing the danger of successful
torpedo attacks, while the inclusion of
the K class of submarine made it pro-
bable that the enemy suffered more
severely from submarine attacks than
the British. Regarding 1918 Lori
Jellicoe says:
"The position was assured and we
could have afforded to take risks
which in 1916 world have }leen - most
unwise. If the German Fleet had
come out to battle a terrible punish-
ment awaited it.
"One-third of the book is devoted
to the battle of Jutland. St'tmming
up the lessons of this fight, Lord
Jellicoe dwells an "the danger in-
volved in leaving too much to chance
because • our fleet was the one and
only factor vital to the existence of

INDIA .S SUGAR AND COTTON
i New Methods of Refining Sugar Will
Insure Large Export Trade
Sugar making is one of India's molt
ancient industries, but the loss of
three-fourths of the sugar value of
the cane by use of primitive maeh-
inery and the muddy cllaracte • of -
the product, because religious pre-
judices prohibit -the use of animal
charcoal for refining, have confined
India's sugar to local consumption,
says the World Outlook, With nearly
three million acres under cane, l o-
clucing considerably more than a
third of the world's total, India never-
tlkless exports no sugar. On the
contrary, in addition to her own sni-
t pendous production, she spends $25.-
000,000
25:000,000 for sugar annually.
1 With new methods of rennin, there
its nowt/ a steady development of cen-
tralized plants, and soon India—the
aboriginal home of the cane—will
doubtless take a place as a sugar ex -
1 porting land coptn:enserate with the
size of her cane crop.
During the last official year the
cloth woven from India's home grown

have belted the world forty times
around. Yet -this amazing amount
gave only a scant five yards pee. per-

climate makes cotton c•luth the one
usable material for most of the pea- /

Health of the Hair. •
The poisons leftin the stat n
h, the
influenza seen to have caused less of
hair with many of the
patients. The
remedy is, Vok build up the health,
and first, hist' and all the time, mas-
sage the scalp twice a day, if possible.
The hair should ho washed frequen it•'
too, even though a great deal of. hal -
coarses out at each washing, it is im-
possible to restore the hair without
keeping the scalp clean. The rubbing
of the scalp during the shampoo and
the hot and cold water aro very bene-
ficial, too. At least five Minutes' nnns-
sage night anti morning is required.
Place the thumbs firmly against the
side of the head to get a firm hold, and
then move the scalp back and forward
so that it is loose, and you produce
that "aglow" feeling. A good tonic to
use at night is made of forty-five
grains of resorcin, one ounce of gly-
cerine and enough of cl'iltttaed alcohol to
fill a six -ounce bottle. A druggist wilt
put this up for you, lraithfulue::s to
thin treatment Is very necessary.
A Model,
The newly elected M.P. was (}}tome;
a bazaar at Muclton. Ho was in the
middle of what ho considered a most
telling speech when he noticed one he
took to he the local pressman sketch-
ing him.
After the ceremony he'weilt up to
the man, and said:
"I—er—believe—or---•ow---•..you were
sketching me ---what? Isn't that so?"
"Er --yes;" said the pressman.
"What—er—newspaper do you re.
present?" asked the conceited Md'.
"No newspaper," said the man with
the sketob•book. "I design comic post-
cards." •
