A few days ago I drifted into one.
of the large book stores in a big city.
My attention was immediately drawn
to the number of people crowding
around, a certain department. Instinct
told me there must be a bargain, and
a woman's inclination toward bar-
gains led me directly to that part of
the store.

Large Number of Projects Un-
der Construction—Reason
for Optimism in Future.
Early) in the new year in a public
statement Honorable Charles- Stewart,
Minister •of the Interior, reviewed the
progress during 1923 throughout the
Dominion of the development, distri-
button,' and use of hydroelectric 'ener-
gy. Ho pointed out Canada's fortun-
ate position In this regard and held
that with low priced power—the key to
all key industries — so abundantly
available almost, everywhere in the
Famous Little Rivers: Dominion, there was ar'good reason for
national optimism for the future.
It was shown that among the coun-
tries of the world Canada not only now
ranks with the highest in per capita
-power development, but is certain to
greatly increase her ratio during com-
ing.years. In the industrial progress
of nations, that country which has the
cheapest, surest, and most lasting
source of power In quantity and suit-
ably located, is certain to outstrip the
others, 'everything 'else being equal.
Canada, with herauuique water -powers
fortunately located in or close to her
industrial areas, with vast and varied
resources of raw materials, and with
unrivalled transportation facilities
both by rail and water, offers to menu•
factu'rers and financiers abundant and
unusual opportunities fol' profitable
trade and investment.
An analysis or the development
which took place during 1923 discloses
1 the foot that some 255,000 horse -power
was added, thus bringing the total
waterpower installation in Canada to
3,223,000 horse -power. A more signiii-
1 cant feature, however, is the large
number of projects actually iii pt'o•

time or actively in prospect. These

horse -power accounted for by a new
plant of the East Kootenay Power

Ontario also has an extensive program
ahead, including a number of develop-
ments and additions for the Ontario
Hydro -Electric Power Commission, a
development for the Hollinger Con-
solidated Gold Mines, and other lesser
works comprising a total of more than
300,000 horse -power. The other pro -

The terrible effects which might re-
sult from careleseuess in a black-
smith's work are well illustrated by the
great importanoe of every link in the
chain of a ship's anchor.
The anchor chains of the Lusitania
were 330 fathoms long—nearly 2,000ft.
—with a weight of 125 tons! Every
Link has to be carefully welded at the
proper temperature. Such work re-
quires infinite care, for in no case is
the saying truer that the chain is only
as strong as the weakest link, On
every single link in such a chain the
safety of a giant vessel and the lives
of perhaps 2,000 people may depend.

Peasant lu form a Pace old Phillippe
stood
Upon broad snoeshoee iu.,4the eoften-

That spread its whiteness through -the
sugar -wood.
Aboveliinr cawed the first returning
crow;
A blue haze danced upon the hilltop's
rim,
Where early April wrought her
magic spells;
And from tin buckets filling fast to
britu,
The dropping sap, rangout lilte
sltnctus bells,
And as old Phlilippe heard 'the echoes
pealing
Among the maple trees sod silver

That, rose above him eke the vaulted

lyd. painted pillars of the village
church,
ile looked up toward tile blue mystery
nes sky --
Then bowed as though the Host were
passing by.
