"The country districts at no time within the past year have been able to secure their full supplies, as it seems quite impossible for eastern. manufacturers to keep the demand supplied promptly. Farmers are ex- ceedingly prosperous; their purchas- ing power was never so great, and perhaps a striking illustration of this fact is that approximately $2,000,000 more than any other year has been expended in the purchase of automo- biles. Fn fact, the automobile seems to have become a farm necessity, and even if we are disposed to consider it an extravagance, it certainly adds to the joy of living in the agricultural districts of Canada. "If we had our 150,000 men we have sent to the front with us again it would take some speeding up of eastern manufacturers to furnish even the necessaries of life in the west."

In a recent lecture before the Royal Geographical Society, Mr. C. M. Woodford, former British resident commissioner of the Solomon Wands, described two islands that are seldom visited by white men. They are Ren- nell and Bellona islands, which were discovered at the beginning of the last Century. Steamers from Sydney to the Solomons pass close to them, and sometimes between them, but trading vessels do not stop there for the an- chorage is poor. The na"tives there- fore, having nothing to sell', have been left to themselves, with the re- sult that, although natives of islands only a hundred miles away have ad- vanced to the stage of- sowing ma- chines, gramophones and other arti- cles of modern civilization, the natives of Rennell and Bellona when Mr. Woodford visited - them a few years ago, were eager for scrap iron of every sort, old nails, and especially fishhooks; and so little was known about the islands that even the na- tive names for them had not been accurately determined. Immigration into the Pacific islands from Asia far from having ceased, is at present go- ing on at a rate probably greater than during the old Polynesian migrations. Mr. Woodford predicts that at no very distant date the whole of the Melane- sian and Polynesian populations of the Pacific will be absorbed and merg- ed in a race composed largely . of Chinese and Japanese.

Feminine Charms of - Three of the Al- lied Countries' Women. A celebrated Italian writer of Florence has been favoring the world with his opinion of the women of Europe. Happily, he has had nothing to say about the German woman, but he does speak of the feminine charms af three of the Allied countries': women. He gives the palm to a nation' which is not at war -namely, Spain.' He says: "The Spanish woman isl bewitchingly beautiful. She has small hands and feet, and large eyes like the open windows of a sunburnt marble palace, a figure full of grace and life, and long, dark, wavy hair.I She is very religious, very ignorant,' very jealous, very sensitive, and very proud." Of the British woman he says: "Her hair is like gold; she has heav- enly eyes, a peach -like complexion, a delicately -formed nose, and good teeth. She is reserved, very active, and generally a slave to etiquette." As to the Frenchwoman he is less complimentary. It is thus he de- scribes her: "She is a cat and a ser- pent, a palm and a violet, and when she is not pretty she is charming. She is amiable, b. dreadful coquette, and genecally false." His summary of the Russian woman is that she is "of an Oriental type which had been prematurely transported into Europe. In her are combined the extraordinary charms of a savage and the civilized woman. -4-- Pin English: Mrs. Banks was just getting ready to go oat while her patient husband waited in the doorway, watching her, complete her toilet.
