You are ordered to put it up again. You have under your command a sergeant and ten privates of the engineering. corps. How would you get the pole back in place?" Each cadet, after long considera- tion and much figuring over derricks, blocks, tackle, and so on, evolved a different method. "No," said Goethals, "you are all wrong.

People Eating More Meat in Wartime There, was a fnrthet• expansion irr the consumption of meats in Canada in 1941, The estimated consumption of all meats was 129.9 pounds per head of population, an increase of 7 pounds over consumption in 1940. Although prices of meats wet' consid- erably higher In 1941 than in the pre- ceding year, the greater purchasing power in the bands of consumers was undoubtedly largely responsible for the increased consumption. Consumption of beef at 53.6 pounds per head was three pounds higher than that of the preceding year. The increase in the net slaughter of animals resulted in more beef being available Cor domestic consumption. Pork consumption at 60.2 pounds per head was 3.6 pounds greater than in the preceding year and the highest recorded since 1920. Although pork consumption was restricted on a voluntary basis in the latter half of 1941, a substantial increase in the first part of the year was more than sufficient to offset any decline which may have taken place later on. The net slaughter of hogs in Canada in 1941 was the highest ever recorded, ancl, in addition, the average dressed weight was higher than that of 1940. Consumption of mutton and lamb in Canada has always been relatively low, but in 1941 there was an in- crease. Total consumption of meat in 1941 was 11 per cent greater than during 1939.
