It appears that in the week ending April 27th the highest rate of production for the last twelve months was reached. The total production was 11,663,000 net tons, which re- presented an increase of 5.7 per cent. over that for the preceding week. it is also noted that the week first mentioned was also the third succes- sive week of rising production. The average production per working day was 1,946.000 net tons, as compared with 1,340,000 in the preceding week and 1,680,000 tons during April of last year. The production for the month as a whole is estimated at 46,473,000 net tons, an increase of 10 per cent. over April 1917. For the four months ending with April the estimated production was 181,- 992,000 net tons, representing an in- crease of over 5,000,000 net tons or about 3 per cent. over that for the corresponding period of last year. Reports to the Geological Survey re- garding car service conditions are about a week behind those in respect to production, but they tell of a gra- dual improvement, the loss of pro- duction throughout the country due to car ,. shortage in the week ending April 20th, being reported as 16.2 per cent., as compared with 18 per cent, in the preceding week. An in- crease in the demand for coal, owing to the co-operation of coal consum- ers with the Fuel Administration's suggestions respecting the early placing of orders, was also reported. This improvement in demand has been most satisfactory in the east, production in some of the western mines having been held back by lack of orders. The Fuel Administration's anthracite committee at Philadelphia said last week that while the pro- duction of anthracite is being press- ed' to the maximum, the prohleM of meeting requirements is a large and difficult one, and Dr Garfield's as- sistant, Mr. L. A, Snead on a visit to New York city on Thursday again warned the public of a probable shortage and urged the placing of or- ders without dalay.a PUT IT IN YOUR HAT When some chaps are setting around assuming to tell every one what they knots, as to what numbers constitute certain divisions of our army, remove your hat and then read the following to hint: Ail army corps is 60,000 men, An infrantry division Is 19,000 then, An infrantry brigade is 7,000 men.

L. JACKSON, Agent, Brussels A. DOLLAR IN THE PLATE (Ruth Cameron) llc must 1Pr pretty well off. He puts a dollar tel the plate evert Sunday." So 1 heard a nrieheor ut mine say of a man who has recently Conte into our neig'hburhood 1 acquiesced without continent at the time. Afterwards the humor of it struck me. He. puts a dollar on the plate and therefore he must be pretty well off. If a man spends a dollar a week for cigars or cigarettes, we don't necessarily think he is well off, If he goes to the theatre every week, spending two or three dollars (more likely more) for his seats we don't think that anything out of the ordinary. If a business woman spends a dol- lar every week for a manicure and a wave, that does not necessarily imply a large salary. But when a man or woman freely puts a dollar bill into the collection plate, straightway that sum looms up as stupendous. But when a man or woman freely' puts a dollar bill into the collection plate, straightway that sum looms up as stupendous, One of the earliest childhood mem- ories is of hearing it told of It young man who was courting (Alas, I fear we used the much less poetic expres- sion: "going with") one of the grown up daughters of my neighbor, that he put a dollar on the plate every time he went to church with her. The moth- er was especially proud 01 this distinc- tion. - tion. She saidy there w•ere't many young men like that. As I look back, I realize that this man must have been making a salary of four or five thous- and a year, The idea that one's religion could possibly be taken so seriously that one could spend, to maintain it, any- thing like the sum one spends for pleasures, is revolutionary to a large number , f people. The treasurer of a church once told me that I would be astonished to know how ninny of the weld -dressed people who came every' S` nday gave fifteen cents or a dime, or perhaps nothing at all per week. 1 suppose it Is no winder, after all, that that dollar on the plate looms up so large. No, it isn't a wonder, perhaps, but It's something else. x at •a * as a• ae # A FEW FIGURES * AOBUT THE WAR * co- ,, a. „ .. an o: x at rF 'there has just been issued by the War Cabinet a general survey of the war activities of last year, Some of astonishing ( the details i makes t clear are reduceto a line, or so here. There are 420,000 men in the Navy. The War Cabinet held 300 meetings in a year, There are 7;500,000 men in the British armies. Great Britain has 7,70o miles of coast line to defend. Only rine ship in 200 of conveyed vessels has been lost. Military t hospitals pltals in the United Kingdom number 2,000. During 1917 we took on all fronts 115,0ou prisoners and 731 guns, 'There are 2,022,0o1 men and 704,- iron women engaged in munitions. '1 he range of a German torpedo is i miles, and the speed 40 knots. (iter 7,tiou men and 30,000 tons of supplies :ter .sent daily to France. t'lt i L000,i00 men transported erseas, only al)••ut 3,50o have been last. In one week the aircraft patrol round the British Isles flies 30,00 Seine 9,000 tractors and tractor - ploughs have been ordered in America. Abost 567 steamers are continual- ly supplied in carrying troops and army supplies. The manufacture of beer has been reduced from 36,000,000 barrels to 14.(0)o,000 barrels. In the brightest moonlight it is impossible to see an aeroplane fly- ing at 10,000,15,000 feet. Britain loaned £1,185,000,000 to her allies up to December, 1917, and £175,000,00 to the Dominions. If we had paid the same price for gun ammunition in 1917 as in 1916, the Increase in cost would have been £43,000,000. The number of articles handled each week by the central stores branch of the Ministy of Munitions exceeds 50,000,000. More than 17,000 women are em- ployed as military nurses and 23,000 others are employed in various work at military hospitals. Up to August 2;,000,000 tons of explosives and army supplies and 51,onn,000 tons of coni and oil had been shipped rr ed overseas. it is estimated that the present system of coal distribution will save the equivalent of 7oo,000,000 tpns being carried a mile. The Royal Naval Air Service numbers 46,000 men, 176 airships and kite ballot's, and well over 2,500 seaplanes and aeroplanes. These figures are constantly increasing, In one month battleship -cruisers and destroyers in home waters steamed more than 1,000,000 miles, while auxilliary patrol services steamed more than 6,000,000 miles. Since the beginning of the war the Admiralty believe that between 40 and 50 per cent. of German sub- marines operating in home waters have been captured, sunk, or other- wise destroyed. The German submarine has a sur- face speed up to 18 knots, and a submerged speed of 10 to 11 knots. She carries from 15 to 20 torpedoes ; she can travel too miles completely submerged ; and she can remain un- der water, sitting on the bottom, up to 48 hours, Waste Paper For Fuel Waste paper is being used as fuel by some women who devise every way possible to Cut down their coal bills take old They e t d n etvs a ens P r wrapping pptng paper, cardboard, or any other old waste paper, and tear it up into small pieces and place in a watertight re- ceptacle. Boiling water is then pour- ed over it, and it is left until the mass becomes soft, usually taking about twelve hours. This mass is then made into little bails about four inches in diameter, which are set into the sun to dry, or may be dried in an oven. When thoroughly dry, these balls are ready for use. They catch fire quick- ly and burn slowly, and have been found a very satisfactory substitute for coal, •eve ese•o••••O••♦••♦•s•••a;♦e•ee•�re♦o••e•♦e••oltlxflOOra• Always Room at the Top • • • • • P • • • • O • • • • • and Winghlatfn, Ord- t, nt- aThat is where you always find our Graduates.
