Despite, the pee imism lucre, this

finitely abandoned.The .miners have
placed•their case, unreservedly, in the
hands of°the. General Council of 'the
Trade, Union Congress, which has re-
cfuosted an interview with the Prime
Minister. Iir view of the Govern-
ment's anxiety to bring the warring
miners and employers together, there
is a possibility that an agreement may

might prove 'a catastrophe, definitely

which, declares 'that the strike, if >it
materializes, will be a `(disaster of
nnmeasureable magnitude," -which can
give satisfaction' to none but Britain's
enemies,
"lt,would be foolish to cherish any
illusions or expect any resultfroin
a resorption of negotiations," coin
tinues:the editorial. • "The -remedy for'

posed by the owners is longer hours
And lower wages, and the miners will
not haat• of either. 'They have made
no proposals of their own aied their
attitude is pus'ely negative, They
simply.will not listen to the terms put
forward by the owners, who decline to
offer any others. This means that
both sides are marching steadily and
deliberately to battle."

German Women Outnumber
_...;Men by About 2,250,000
A . deepatoh from Berlin says: --
What
ayse-What' is to become of Germany's
surplus of women? This is the inter-
esting question raised by; the prelim-
inary returns of the recent census,.
indicating that there are about 2,-
250,000 more women than men, due
laegely:to the ravages of the war.
Among the more conservative fam-
ilies, which believe that a woman's
only worthwhile calling is to be. a wife,
there is consternation. The families
had,alreatly considered the chances dor
daughters marrying were limit-
ed by the t
y fact that they had lost most
of their inherited wealth'. during the
inflation •period, malting the dowries
small. The census shows" that the
chances of these girls are even worse
than they feared.
Progressive women claim to see in
the preponderance of females the pos-
sibility of woman's further emancipa
tion end her entering into fields' of
work heretefore reserved for men.
They hope by sheer numbers to force
the men to accept equality of the
sexes,
There is one category of German
women not affected by the 'relative
strength of the sexes—the widow in
possession of a furnished Koine: Of all
women she has the least difficulty in
marrying if she so desires. With
homes at a great premium through-
out C ermany, and with -dowries prob-
lematical, the'' =rale marriage candi-
dates take to such widows with.

Project to Dredge names to

A. despatch fzorri London says:-
American tourists` ib England a few
'years hence niay be able to begin
their hurried sightseeing, of the Old
World by walking from the gangplank
into the historic Tower 6f London, as
the Port of London authorities . are
considering a plan. for ,dredging th•e.
Tiiasizes' to accommodate the largest
passenger voSset-s.
The port council's engineers recent
9 submitted a' report dee'aring that
the river -Could, he- nada available for
large tonnage ships as far as the
tower bridge for, a comparatively
moderate sum, and that there is suffi-
cient property available at the bridge
to warrant building docks there.
Tho council has not .yet completed
its plans, : but it appears likely that.
action will be taken when trade con-
ditions are better., The project would
require about three years. The river
woirid be dredged from Tilbury to
the Tower, a distanoe of about twenty
miles, at a 'cost' of' apeeoximateiy
22,000,000; or about $9,700,000.

Tho Princoof Wales visited the'won-

ON THE MAIN -MOTOR ROUTE
The number of American tourists from western .paints seen on our streets recently, is substantial evidence of
' the value of the good roads system of Cataria, which has placed this' city on the route eovened by motorists in tra•
yelling between Chdeago and the Mari'time,Proviuces, says an Ottawa eorrespondent, The map shown herewith is
,a portion of a new road map issued bysthe, Natural Resources Intelligence Seavice, which shows some of the mein
roads of Canada, together with the couoaeotingroalds in the Hated States'. The foot that a direct route is now avael,
able, over the bent o2 roads, from Chic ,eo le Charlottetown, and that it is being used so extensively, is encouraging
to the many aggressive organizations that are co-opera,tleg in the promotion of touring, and particularly to the Na-
tural Xtem:nrcea'inttelligennce Service, which has boeoma a clearing'-housle for tourist infoSsnedlon in Canada.
Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior at Ottawa says:—
Canada is rapidly becoming a"dairy
country. This is evldenced,in many
ways, particularly • In the growlh of
our exports of dairy products.` It is
well for this country that such is the
case; as authorities agree that 'there
its no bettor means of keeping up the
fertility of the soil than the keeping
of cattle. Feeding to live stock the'
produce of the farm 3s just one step
.nearer the finishing of the process of
maintaining the food supply.
It is interesting to nolo the liirge
increase in the supply of Canadian
dairy •produee';to other countries. Mir-
ing 1925 exports reached figures
much in advance of the previous year.
Butter shotes' the greatest increase,
the exports for the last fiscal year
totalling 24,601,981 pounds, compared
with 13,648,968 pounds in•1924 the in-
creased value -being 33,645,271.
