R. 1927 Activit- ies Tabled in the House of Commons. Toronto, April 11--A general re- view of the operations of the Cana- dian National Railways during the year 1927 was tabled by the Hon. Charles A. Dunning, in the House of •Coummns today, together with the full and final accounts of the rail- way bearing the certification of in- dependent eharxered accountants. "Having regard for the various factors relating to the system the general results of the year's opera- tion may be considered satisfactory," says Sir Henry Thornton in making this report to the Government. "Al- though the net earnings were less by $5,790,000 than those of 1926, they were much higher than in any pre- vious year. Gross earnings exceeded dino might return the compliment by murderer.

The average distance each passenger was carried during 1927 was 72,96 miles, as compared with 66.67 miles in 1926. Freight revenues have been adversedly affected during the year, as a result of certain rate ad- justments. Under general order No. 448 of the board of railway commis- sioners, effective September 12, 1027 grain rates from all points in West- ern Canada to the bead of the lakes were reduced appreciably, and grain rates to Vancouver and Prince Rup- ert for export were reduced to the lake head rate basis. Up to the end of 1927 the relative earnings were over $600,008 less than they would have been but for the above order. "Elimination of unprofitable and unnecessary steam trains to the ex- tent of 194,500 train miles, and the substitution of motor cars for steam service to the extent of 163,300 train miles resulted in a saving of $301,- 000 in operating expenses. Our re- venues continue to be adversely af- fected by competition of water car- riers; also by motor truck and bus competition. In order to offset com- petition by motor trucks and parcel post, a decrease in express rates on parcels weighing 15 pounds and less was put into effect on January 1, 1928." Raise Stallion Premiums Under New Joiaat Policy As a means of promoting horse breeding in Ontario the Ontario and Dominion Departments of Agricul- ture are putting into effect a joint policy of subsidizing high class stal- lions. This takes the place of the premium policy hitherto carried out by the province alone and raises the maximum premium to $300, about double the possible top under the old plan. Under the new scheme the stallion is inspected as usual under the Stal- lion Enrollment Act, and if he quali- fies in class Al is reinspected by a joint Dominion -provincial board. The premium awarded depends upon the quality ofsthe stallion and the num- ber of infaal mares. .� Senator Shipstead claims there are 8,000,000 persons out of work in the ir.

Gloria's smother, Mrs. Dorothy Ben jamin Caruso, steadfastly declines to discuss her daughter's musical car- eer. She does not want the child's voice strained, nor Gloria flooded with too much personal attention. Friends of the family agree, how- ever, that Gloria apparently has fal- len heir to Enrico Caruso's voice, and support Mrs. Caruso's attitude in not wishing her voice strained at this time. Her musical education is progressing in satisfactory measure. with Mrs. Caruso's watchful eye noting that this is not accomplished at the expense of exercise, playing with other children and general out- door activity. Gloria has evinced a natural ap- titude for languages--Freneh and Italian as well as English—and, in addition -to singing, can play the pianoforte, dance and interpret musical compositions in terms of harmony and counterpoint, Among her chief admirers are two Metro- pelitan Opera stars, Rosa Panselle and Frances A+lda.
