Common Causes for the Failures in Banking Even the Best of Cooks Some. times.,Encounter Trouble With Cakes BY HANNAH. WING. Inspite of all necessary miecau- tions that may have been taken in making a cake, something oocasion- ally prevents complete success. Even the best of cooks may be puzzled by some kind of cake trouble ,once in a while. However, cake failurescan generally be avoided if ono knows what causes them. Reasons and reme- dies far various cake difficulties fol, tow. BUTTER CAKES. Butter cakes fail for these reasons: Too much shortening, too much li quid, not enough baking powder or soda to leauien the mixture; too much Dugar or removal from the oven be- fore sufficiently baked.'

Canada, the speaker declared, may become the "aerial centre of the con- tinent," SIIOWS; NEIGHBORLINESS. Mr, Massey said that the insurance companies manifest the neighborliness of ` Canada and the United States by having mutual investments andover- lapping fields of operations. He pic- tured the growth of' life insurance in• Canada by saying that, in 1869, the insurance per capita was $10, while in 192.7 it was $537. Mn Massey put forth the idea that insurance .statistics -are a better gauge of national progress than bank loans, or even the volume of, trade. Insurance, "he said, was an indication of national wealth and also of nation- al 'character, adding that the insur- ance business was growing, with astounding rapidity hiCanada. Reviewing Canada's expansion com- mercially, Mr: Massey said: "Farming in the Prairie Provinces is finding, a new rival in the increase in: manufacture," he said. "Well over half a billion dollars are now invested in manufacturing plants in the agri- cultural west. The gross value of the products of these plant., large and small, is now over 3450,000,000 per annum - "The output of .the Canadian fac- tories is not • only increasing with Toronto Harbor Takes on Renewed Activity MANY GRAIN BOATS—CANAL SIZE—TIE UP FOR WINTER This picture is indicative of how increased facilities for doing business increases business..

From 1901 tell how far he is above sea level, but to 1927 the imports into Canada of he cannot tell how far he is above the manufactured goods have increased just under 500 per' cent, . while ex- ports of the same class of goods have increased over 600 per cent" TRADE STATISTICS. , Mr. Massey continued: "Our wid- ening outlook is symbolized by the opening of new physical doors to the outside world. With the exception of the gateways. over our south bound - my, our only outlet to the great world overseas was fei'snerly in the east. - It is astonishing, in looking over the trade statistics of the last few years, to see how wide 'our Pacific gateway has opened. Six years ago we ship- ped approximately 43 million bushels of grain from our Pacific ports. Last year we shipped well over 67 million bushels. This growth has been partly due to the use of the Panama Canal, partly dueto the -increase in our grain production in the. western pro- vinces and has, of course, been en- couraged by the increased consump- tion , of our hard wheat in Oriental countries. Vancouver ie now equip- ped to handle one hundred million bushels ofgrain in a season without undue strain. The population of van couver ;itself has increased nearly. three -fold in seven years. Our doors have opened wider on both the east and -west, but Canada is not only washed by the Atlantic and Pacific, we have a third ocean at our doors, the Arctic. It is associated in one's mind with romantic expeditions, the heroic efforts of missionaries and scientists and the long solitary patrols- of atrolsof our Mounted Police, rather than with commerce. In 1930, we will have a railway completed to the ancient harbor of Fort Churchill, and a new gateway to Europe will be thrown open, which will bring our western provinces one thousand miles nearer to Great Britain than by the St. Lawrence - mite. . The undetermined factor in this enterprise has been the. prevalence of lee in the Arctic straits. Our air patrol has been spending *In- ter vigils, with a base on the north- ernmost point of Labrador and on the i 1 d' inair st s, " the purpose o which was to determine.' the condition of navigation in that region. The re- ports are most encouraging." After dealing with Canada's ,effort in the field of aviation, Mr. Massey said: "It has been pointed out that much of the land surface of the globe bor- ders on the Arctic Ocean, and that the Shorter distance between many of the world's capitals lie across our north- ern .Mediterranean Sea. Is there not some ground for the forecast that in the future the Arctic plains of Canada will be the unction point of great air- ways between the continents? It is not too fantastic to think that, some- where in'th'ete northern wilds; will be found a sort of Thnes Square of the air.

That has been the main dif- ficulty of flying in all kinds of wea- ther. Scientists, by the use of the theory that a radio wave will rebound from the ground, have devised a means of accurately measuring the distance a planeis in the air, Dr. E. F. W. Alexanderson, of the General Electric Company, told the conference, Since the aviator's main sense is his sense of vision, the scientists have airenged for equipment on the plane's daslboard which will indicate_ by the use of colored lights the height agave the grout;d. As explained by Dr. Alexanderson, an aviator flying blind in a fag can obtain his direction by the use of a- lio beacons. With a radio echo ma- chine, devised by the scientist, he can despatch a radio wave to the ground 11nd by the quickness of its ••rebound tell how many feet *remain between the landing gear ,of his machine and the landing field. ".. "We know the principle of the radio echo," .Dr. • AlexanderSon exlained, "and all that remained for us to do was to adapt it to the aviator- We found that most fliers depend on, their sense of vision, so we have ,devised a set of, lights to signal the flier from. the radio echo how far he is above the ground. "For example, if the plane is under' 60 feet when the radio signal is sent out, a red light will flash. If it is 100 feet a green light will flash and if it is 200 feet or more a white 'light will inform the flier that he still has considerable distance to descend be- fore he is in actual danger. LANDING DEVICE. "Then after he is within 50 feet or less: from the ground and knows ec curately he is above the landing field by the Use of, the radio' beacon he can let down a mechanical landing devise of 10 to 15 fee:. which will indicate by lights when it,touches the ground, "The aviator will then have no dif- ficulty in snaking a safe landing.

Ori his -last flying attempt, Fucik fell and was fattally injured. - The history of the development of the various airplane engines, includ- ing the pioneering of the Wright bro- theme in this field, was described by Charles L.

Civilization Comes to Canadian North by Means of Radio Ottawa.—Radio is taming the wild- est parts of northern Canada. In Canada's northland a number of radio transmitting stations summon aid yfer the sick prospector, dispatch airplanes, bring news into the coun- try, send out important mining in- formation and in general handle all the traffic that ,the telegraph com- panies to the south handle daily. The stations are operated by the federal and provincial governments, by airway companies, mining con- cerns, pulp and paper and water power comlianies and public utility commissions. ons. The Ontario Forestry Service has nine stations in the northern regions of the province. The Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission operates; a large chain of stations connecting the new power sites in the north woods with Toronto and other cities. All these stations operate on differ- ent wavelengths. The majority work an short waves, since these necessi-I tate lighter 'and more compact ap- paratus. Others, the pulp and paper people especially, use higher wave- lengths around 1,500 and 1,900 meters.' Government stations are scattered throughout the west and northwest, at Royal Canadian Air Force fields andin the Northwest Territories. Farther north aro the new stations being put up in the Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits district. These sta- tionswill operate also en ship chan- nels as well as on short waves, and will be regular coastal stations, equipped with direction finding ap- paratus. They will be the farthest ;north commercial stations on the con- tinent. The winner of a prize offered by an Italian journal for an unpublished comedy was found to be. in prison.

From Rock Used' - by Emperor Diocletian After' lying idle for fifteen centuries, quarries of the Emperor -Diocletian on the Dalmatian coast are now, yielding stone for. the great, memorial which' Canada is ,building on Vimy Ridge. The story, has In it. touches of ro- mance. ' Over in Europe,., W. S. All- ward, of Toronto, the sculptor, sought great flawless blocks for the heroic figures of;the memorial. `In his wan- iderings he came to the little town of Spalato on, the.. eastern shores of the Adriatic. There he saw ruins of the palace which Diocletian had built for himself by the seashore, the place to which, as a man of sixty, he retired after his abdication and in which he died, ' Mr. Allward noted the durability and singular beauty of ,the stone—a pink buff, which in the passing years had ripened to a rich amber. On the hillside above the ruins he, found the old quarries whence the stone had come. They had not been worked since the Roman workmen quarried their last blocks in 305 AD. He de- cided on the stone for the memorial and to -day native workmen slide the huge blocks down the mountainside just as the master builders of 1.600 years ago did. Memorials and stone afford curious parallels. The memorial is dedicated to the heroism of Canadian and French soldiers at 'Vimy Ridge. Dio- cletian himself fought Germanic tribes and was chosen emperor by soldiers'. of the Roman legions. He built his palace at Spoleto in the form of a square covering ten acres, It contain- ed two temples. One was dedicated to Aesulaplus, the Roman god of heal- ing, the other to Jupiter. Today the latter edifice is used as a Christian cathedral. The Vimy Ridge memorial is 300 feet square. The top of the pylons will reach 140 feet Above the ground level. Joints between the great bloelcs of stone are only one -sixteenth inch wide. From the standpoint of ma- sonry alone it is regarded by experts as one of the finest structures in the. world. Next spring work will be started on the figures. Studios will be built on the monument itself and the flg- urea will be cut there. The artist's conception of the mem- orial is that of a strongly walled de- fense. Through walls appear the mouths of cannon in conventionalized form. At the base of the walls are the defenders, -one group depicting the breaking of the sword, the other the sympathy et Canadians for the help- less. Standing at the front of the main platform is Canada in the form of a hooded woman, her bead bowed in sorrow over the graves of the valiant ;dead.

Dr. Alexanderson's discussion' of Ids radio echomachine was by far the. mostinteresting development of the conference. A slight relief frons the mora tech- nical features of the meeting occurred when Col.' Charles A, Lindbergh was awarded the Harmon trophy for the greatest contribution to aviation last year. The preset tion of the bronze -V.,- phy, t:cpr'eeen ing ihe • Goddess -of Fight poised over a globe. was made by Pierre E. ilandin, rice -president of the French Chamber .of Deputies and chief of the T'rranch dcle.ipitio.i, Arm in arm, the youngest of the noted niers and, the oldest ' and the first—Otrvillo Wright:—stepped to the conference platform'for the presenta- tion.

The occasion was marked as quietly. as possible within thee. circle of the royal Family. Nevertheless '.these very circumstances drew a wide mea- sure of attention to the Duke's clifir- acter and position within the realm. Until the Prince of Wales reached --home a few days ago from Africa, the Duke was naturally as much in the public eye as any personage ex- cept the King and" Queen, and his, movements were observed as closely as theirs. His career was originally intended to closely follow that at first mapped out for his father—a naval career. As the second son of the Sovereign. Rith apparently but a remote chance of ever being called on to undertake the burden of the Crown, he was destined for the naval service. Rather curiously it never seems to be remembered nowadays' that the Mike of York was actually present as a midshipman aboard H,M,S, Collin wood in the battle of Jutland in 1916 and was mentioned in dispatches. I1I- ness compelled him to leave the navy and he joined the air force, attain. ing the rank of wing commander. Health and quite- possibly other con. siderations eventually rendered am other line of Iife more suitable than that afforded by the fighting services, The Duke took up a diligent study of a wide range of social subjects, and no member of the Royal Family has a more intimate knowledge of the position, past and present, be- tween capital and labor. But for the Kirg's illness the Duke of York would 'have spent several days recently studying industrial conditions in the Birmingham area. r, COSALT PRODUCTION Cobalt produced in Canada in ob- tained chieily by treating arsenical silver -cobalt -nickel residues from the.
