This flavour, this esriffailing delicioltasraess is bring- ing pleasessre to millions. W4'EDN1;SDAY, JULY 18th, 192'i 111ANCiIL'Lh; appreciation of nurs- ing services during the tear cone; to a Canadian girl through the bequest of 33,000,000 by the mother of an o1}icer whom the girl cared :for in the base hospital at Iloulogne. The instance is unique. The girl never thought when she was doing her war work that ten years lacer she would inherit a fortune. It is a trick of fate. But who can say that some re- cognition was not earned. • MONTREALis going to buy its HI water and power company. The city council debated the purchase for four hours, but finally arrived at the decision to acquire the utility. The argument is 'typical of the province in which Montreal is situated. The decision is typical of a new trend. It may be a matter local to Montreal only, but there is every hope that it may have its effect on the province as a whole. Perhaps Quebec is slowly learning its public ownership lesson from its neighbor to the west. • THERE is one manin the United States whose biography should be easy* to write. He is Harry F. Sinclair. Washington is making plans for another investigation of the oil magneto. There are all sorts of records to which a man may aspire. Mr. Sinclair has set his, and it will probably not be beaten for litany a day. He is the most investigated man in the world. Not even the of- fer of the throne of Albania brought him more publicity than have the actions of the 'United States Senate. Meanwhile, Mr. Sinclair continues to sell oil and gasoline in all parts of 'the continent. He is apparently still rich and happy. MEW YORK fears that a gang war is imminent. The police are making preparations to put down any underworld disturbances. One imagines that the New York police are quite able 'co make such prepar- ations. Gotham has had its famous crimes, but every time they happen they aro "played up big" in the pa- pers. The American metropolis has not yet reached the point whero•'chey are only incidents in the life of a big city. Probably that is one rea- son why New York keeps ahead of Chicago in population. It is only natural that more people who really enjoy metropolitan life would want to live there, where their lives are reasonably safe. CANADIANS will be pleased to know the British Labor Party is in favor of whole families leaving the old Country for one o1 other of the Dominions. With well over two hundred millions of acres of agricul- tural land in Canada awaiting set- tlers, any move that tends to en- courage immigration of whole fam- ilies into the Dominion will be re- ceived as pleasant news. People from Great Britain have shown they can make good in Canada, if they are of true British stuff and not a- fraid to work. This Dominion needs all the earnest people she can get. No country wants any other kind. (+APT. ALFRED LOEWENSTEIN, third ricbest man in the world, falls or jumps from his airplane into the North Sea. Immediately, stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic are thrown into disorder. All the Loeyenstein wealth and the huge Loewenstein interests are left. But the man who created them and was the moving power in their Manipula- tion, is dead. Therefore, what were sound investments two days ago, be- come speculative. After all. it is the Iran, not the money, that wields the real power, An official investigation results in the decision that Capt. Loewenstein committed suicide, Friends and business acquaintances scoff at the theory. If the leap, was deliberate, it is jurat another indica- 1 tion that even wealth comet snake the world an Eden for its possessor.

But it has proven to be a success, just as the St. Law- rence way is assured of success. WHEN President Calles was made the first citizen of Mexico, ; there were optimistic predictions: Peace was at lase to come to the re- volution -torn little republic. About all that has happened down there in the last few clays has been the at- tempted wrecking of four trains, the derailment of another and the at- tempted bombing of still another. Evidently President Calles did not bring the millenium with him. Re- volting has become pretty much of a habit in Mexico, and old habits are hard to break. TTEY have 'cried the "big stick" in New York. It has not macre the city dry. Now federal authori- ties pin their .hopes on another method. Something akin to secret diplomacy will be used as a substi- tute map. Axe -wielding, rough -voic- ed enforcement officers tvill go back to their work of hunting thieves and gunmen, and elegant young men in evening clothes, perhaps mentioned in the Social Register, will take their places. The plan has a chance of suc- cese. Whatever may be 'the merits of the Volstead Act, America makes almon a fetish of democracy, and strong-arm methods seldom appeal to its people. It will be an interesting experiment 'co watch, at any rate. LL THINGS, it seems, travel in cycles. Just now, it is mail rob- beries. Ontario has not ceased gasp- ing at the boldness of the gang who robbed a C, N. R. train at Toronto, when another similar but smaller raid took place in l\Iichigan. Now the Leviathan, mighty argosy of the Atlantic, becomes the scene of the largest robbery to • date. ' Here are three mail robberies within a couple of weeks, which may prove some- thing, It has been said 'that criminals are not really of normal intelligence, that the "master mind, of criminal- ity is largely a myth. It has also been said that, if the honest man of a high type of intelligence should turn to crime, he could outwit any pollee or detective force. These three robberies may indicate that there is something its The theory, If they show anything at all, they show that criminals are not gifted with origin- ality,. one form of intelligence. It would appear that they simply adopt the ideas of others who seemingly have been successful 0 .00 MAIL has been transferred from a moving train to a dirigible in flight. Now they talk of trans- ferring passengers in the same • way. It has already been proven feasible to fly passengers from ocean liners to their destination, thus saving many hours on the ocean voyage. Everyone is talking about regular trans-Atlantic flying service, Per - }taps it is "old stuff" to say that fly- ing is still in its infancy, but the fact cannot be too strongly impressed. Aviation •has done such wonderful things in the paet few years that we are beginning ,to look for the skilful and enthusiastic aviators and aeron- autical engineers who are not allow- ing it to become an "old story" to them, but are looking and working toward +he future. They are the ones who will estate for the world more wondrous things in the futhtre, not the ones who look backward at• great feats aid say, "Wonderful) It Wit never be surpassed.'

Itis to be remembered that the Em- pire imports from all countries these goods to the amount of $2,571,000,- 000. The British Empire presents a tremendous opportunity for the devel- opment of export on these commodities. OLL down the map of the world. Follow the British Empire red through the continents and across the seas. There you see beckoning markets for Canada—where fewer trade restrictions intervene, where British tradition is appreciated, where' Canada is known. There we can sell. There we can also buy. Canada is buying more Empiregoods than ever before --things we cannot grow or make—raw materials for our factories. Since 1922 Canada's imports from Empire countries have increased 67 per cent: Last year we bought Empire goods to the value of $250,000,000. And what is Canada selling the Empire? Last year we shipped $500,000,000 worth of our products to other British lands, an increase of 44.3 per cent. in six years. The various parts of the Empire want more Canadian goods. A demand exists among them for Canadian manufactures, or for the products of Canadian lands or waters. But we must see that our exports are maintained at a rigid standard, that they are packed as consumers desire, and that our prices are right. To encourage this growing Empire trade, eleven of Canada's twenty- four Trade Commissioners abroad, are working in Empire centres: They are familiar with the demands of the people among whom they live. Their services and the information they gather are at the command of any Canadian producer or exporter. To get into touch with Trade Commissioners, write the Commercial Intelligence' Service, Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. When you buy Empire goods, you do a part in making possible greater Canadian exports to these sister countries. Where we sell; we must also buy. THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND COMMERCE c� T TAWA P. C.
