CANADA GIVEN
NEW 3TA°fllS
ADVANCED POSITION IN
'HYDRO DEVELOPMENT.'
Delegations ;from 44 Nations
Attended World 'Power Con-'
ference at Wembley.
The first World Power Conference,
held at Wembley, England, during the,
past summer; has given Canada a new
status in the minde, of international
engieers and. financiers who now know
that Canada is in many respects the
most advanced country in the world in
.the development,, distribution and use
of hydroelectric energy, and further,
that the °minion in addition to her un-
developed -water-powers has enormous
resources of 'coal from which, in clue
course, power will be developed in
areas where hydro power• is not avail-
able, The Canadian delegation, -head-
ed by Mr, J. B. Chaeliee, Director "of
Water Power, Department of the In-
terior•, have just returned to'Canada,
bringing with them authentic infor-
mation as to the Conference and its
influence on the minds of leading men
in Great Britain and in Continental
Europe.
In the first piece the Conference it-
self and the three tours connected
with it were more successful even
than had been anticipated. Delega•
tions from forty-four nations were pre•
senteand all the subjects brought up
were most keenly dlscuesed: The',
meetings held at Wembley extended'
over a.period of three weeks and at
their olose three tours were carried
out; one through the great industrial
centres of the United Kingdom, a
second to the water -powers of Norway
and Sweden,and;the third to visit the
power plants of Switzerland, Southern
France, and Italy. '
At Wembley the Canadian buildieg
and the exhibits from the Dominion are
pre-eminent and have served to ad-
vertiee Canada as never before. In
dike manner Canada held an outstand-
ing place at the World Power Con-
ference, Canada's great resources
and striking achievements in this fleld
were worthily presented by the Cana-
dian delegation. In this body in ad-
dition, to the Dominion, every pro -
wince, the Hydro -Electric Power Com -
Integer; of Ontario, the Nova Scotia
Power Commission, and most of the
larger powereorperations, were repro -
seated :by their leading engineers.
These gentlemen by careful prepara-
tion made the Canadian power situa-
tion dead

ence.
g feature
ence. The result was that at the close
of the gathering the heads of great
European' industrial concerns and
financial houses have for the first time
received a definite idea of what Cana-
da's power resources are.
The point that they have seized up-
on is that more and more industrial
development and prosperity will do-
omed upon cheap power and that if the;
benefit of the development of Cana-
dian power resources is retained for
Canada her economic future is secure.
British induserialiste', 'realizing that
the development of power means ex -1
pension of all lines of industry, are
looking to Canada as a ilela for invest-
ment
nvestment both in the initial development t
and in the extension of industry based
upon it. As a direct reeult of the Con-
faience a number of firms have al-
ready sent representatives to Canada
to look over the groupd, while others
are having reports made by Canadian.
engineers and trade authorities.
The Migration of Salmon.
Vast numbers of salmon :On up the
rivers of Alaska and the northwest
coast of Canada, but very few ever

after reproducing their species.
They do not spawn in the rivers.

They do not spawn in the lakes. For
that purpose they seek streams that

'their eggs, ecooping out nests in the

This is more of a practical joke
than a trick, but It is a stunt that
is not only very little known but
is well worth knowing. When the
conversation swings to maths•
maties, the trickster says:
"I can take' 9 from 6, 10 from 9
and 50'from,40-and have ria left.'

Rheumatism attacks people when
the blood is thin and 'watery, or
charged with impurities, thus• setting
up inflammation of the muscles and
joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp
winds may start the pains, but the
cause is rooted in the blood and to get
relief it must be treated through the
blood. As a blood builder and nerve
