CANADIAN
INVESTMENT •
At a time when every indication ev -
dencee an upgrade tendency in Caila-
diair affairs and attention is being d - reeled from from many sources towards the
Dominion for investment of all kinds,
the reading of the report of the pres•
-
dent of the Investment Bankers As-
sociation of Canada, an organizatio
which 'gives its best endeavors to af-
- ford a maxiamm of protection to those
who" have funds for investment, is cal-
culated to augment such.opti'mism and
revivify faith inthe future of the Do.
inion, "No such opportunity has oc-
curred since the organization of the
association ten years ago for cheerful
andopfirnistic outlook than at the pre-
sent," states the president. 'We have
every reason to take pride in the out-
look and be thankful we live in this
land of so great promise."
'During the calendar year 1925, ac-
cording
-cording to the report, Goveminent and
municipal financing in Canada was• -ef-
fected to the extent of some 5331,000,-
•
331,000;'_ 000 in roundA figures, as follow'.:—Do-
minion Government 5145,000;000; Do -
Minion guaranteed (Can. .Nat, Rlysc)
$35,000,000; , Provincial Government
$104,000,000; Provincial guaranteed $6,-
590,000;' Municipal $41,00'0,000.. The
securities were placed. almost equally
in the United States an Canada, the
Republic accounting' for only about
.$10,000,00.0 more than the Dominion.
Municipal Financing,
It -ie interesting to note, though no
great s'igniflcanoe is attached to thig
by the president of • the Association,
that government and municipal finance
ing in Canada for the calendar year
1925 was less' to the extent of some
$138,000,000 than in 1924. It is, how.
. ever, significant, especially in view of
the dubious regard of Canadian invest°
inenthick it
W still persists in certain
other countries,' that whilst in 1924 the
financing, for these requirements was
arranged. in Canada to almost, double
the extent it was in the United States,
in 1925 the ropey came in about equal
proportions' from Canada and the
United States.
Following this up, greater interest
attaches to •the figures of Canadian
financing in the first half df 1926, as
compiled by A. E. Ames & Co. To
'June 12•th new Government, municipal,
and corporation financing in Canada
amouted to 5288,153,300, as compared
- with 5242,231,885 in 1925, and 5190,-
400,000 in the period of 1924. The 192E
total is divided into Government, $146;'
992,000; municipal 533,236,300; and
corporation 5107,925,000. Of the total,
5148,850,000 was sold in the- U.S.
as 'against $139,303,300 in Canada,
the Republic's ,purchases consisting of
576,600,000 in Government bonds, 59,-
t00,900 In municipal bonds, and 562,-
- 750,000 corporation bonds'.
Increase in U.S. Investment.
The greatest 'compliment which
•could -have' been paid Canada in the
depressing and struggling post-war
Sears has been the steady and swell-
ing flow of investment funds from the
United States into the Dominion.
There is probably no more shrewd or
calculatingly careful individual than
the American banker, and: when he ad-
vises clients to invest in the future, of
-the Dorfiinion he is doing so on the
basis of a profound .study and stead -
fest conviction. In a general :con.
sideration other countries in their at-
titude towards Canada and Canadian
investment could not do better than
follow American example and Ameri-
can methods.
Pasteur Stamp Wanted •
by League of Nations
"Why not Pasteur?" asks the Paris-
ian press, in connection with the an-
nouncement that the League of Na.
tions intends to issue its own stamp
bearing a likeness of 1Frttj of Nansen.
The merits of Nansen as an explorer
and as League' of Nations Commission,
er for the Russian and Armenian re-
fugees is fully recognized, but the fa-
mous chemist and baoteriologiat Pas-
teur Is put forward' as a better symbol
of the concord andcharity that inspire
the League and as a man who before
his death benefitedall'humanity.

Care and. Watchfulness
In their early teens it is quite com-
mon for girls to outgrow their
strength, and mothers should carefully*
watch the• health of their daughters at
Vile time, for it is when strength is sail'
Ped by too rapid growth that anaemia
develops. The ,first. glans May be 110•
tied by peevishness, langour and
headaches. The face grows 'pale,
breathlessness, and palpitation follow,
with low spirits.
At the first syruptorn of anaemia
mothers should act at once. Neglected
anaemia often leads to: decline, but if
you see that your daughter's blood is
enriched there need be no cause for
anxiety. The finest blood watcher
ever discovered is Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. The 'pure, red blood created by
these pills will quickly bandsh all signs
of anaemia./ They will build up your

One -of the Flower Secrets.
Flowering depends`- on t reserves,
whether in bulb or tree, in oak or daf-
fodil. The power to form flowers is
bound up with the power of the plant
to lay by stores of reserve materiel"
And though, as Ward reminds us, some
herbaceous plants flower a few weeks
after sowing, whilst some trees pro-
duce no flower until they are fifty or
sixty years old, they .sharer a common
secret. Within wide margins -of dif-
ference they obey the 'great law of re-
serve. The beauty •that.soonsr or later
.finds expression must. flea. of all be
stored.
How impressive is the patience and
restraint in the treesofthe forest!
No oak is• to be hustled. Cedars can-
not be "forced" like rhubarb. Their
growing forms arequietly serene.
Most great productions in . art or in
character have something of the same
serenity. They are not born of haste
to make an impression. They grow
quietly in tlie background. They come
0f lifelong -patience' and faith, of 'that
patience which has been defined as
"faith with her lamp lit."

immediate bearing. The richer the na-
tive talent, the sterner the discipline
that restrained.

Planting by Machinery.
A machine that plants cabbage seed-

Invented by Abbe Bacie, the parish
priest of the village of Preize Vents,
near Nantes, France. It consists of a
moving arm that places each seedling
in a hole and another attachment that
covers it with earth. It saves nine-
tenths of the time usually empioyde in
planting eabbages.

Surnames and 'their Origin
MULVANEY.
Variations — O'Muivaney, Mulleny,
O'Mulvena„ Melvin, Macllvena, Mac-
Ilwaine, Macllvain.
Racial Origin—Irish; also Scottish.
Source—A given name.
It would be hard to find a set of
family names in one group which are
so little associated with one another
in the -average mind. Yet they all
come from the same source.
Certain them, such as Melvin,
Machwane and Macllvain, are, per-
haps more commonly found among
families of Scottish blood in this coun-
try. The Mulvaneys, O'Mulvaneys,
Mulleuys and O'Mulvenas are more
likely to be of Irish extraction, cer-
tainly so` in those names which are
proceeded by "0."
Like virtually all the. Gaelic names,,
the great diversityof spelling in these
different forms is the result of the at-
tempt to spell the names in English
as they sound in their original Celtic
tongue rather than to transcribe the
Celtic spelling into the English equiva-
lent. -
If this latter wee done the correct
form of the name would be "O'Maolf-
hiona," or "MaaMaolfhiona." It is
from the latter form that the Scottish'
variations' of the . same are derived
through the elimination, Por easier pro-
nunciation, of the initial "M" in the
body of the name, thus, "Mac (M)Aolf-
hiona" is easily transformed, in view
of its pronunciation Into "Macllvain."
The family or clan name cornea from.
the given name of "Maoiflona," the
meaning of which Is "devotee 00 wine.",
Such a name, of course, was considered
no disgrace in the distant pest, when
It was formed, long before the period
even of Mohammed, the first prohibi-
tionist.
MATHESON.
Variations—Mathie, MacMathan, Ma.
thieson, MacMath,"Mathewson Mat-
tison, Mathison, Mattis, Matson.
Racial Origin—Scottish and English.
Source -A given name.
All of these family names are de-
rived from the given name of Matthew,
which itself means "Gift of God," and
is flebrew, Its spread throughout Eur-
ope, of course, was due to its promin-
ence in the Bible.
While Matheson is not a Celtic form
of name, It is nevertheless the name
of a clan which was once one of the
most important in the Scottish High-
lands, The form Matheson, like that
of Itlathieson is but an English ren-
dering. The Gaelic designation of .the N.
clan was "Clans Mhathain,' from.
which the family names of MaeMath,
MacMathan and Mathie have been
evolved, the last named through a
dropping of the "Mac" which originally
Preceded it, and which in the Gaelic
denoted "descendant of," just as the
termination 'son" in Anglo-Saxon and
the prefix "Fitz" in Norman-French
did, and as the endings "Witz and
"vitz=" do to -day Ili the Slavic tongues,
these "Itzes" all being corruptions or
developments of the Latin "filius,"
which" was abbreviated "fils." (Give
the "s" a,"z" sound, then make the "z"
'sound' sharper, and you have the
change complete).
Mattison and Mattis are shortened
forms of tile English family name of
Mathewson. To these should be added
Matson which was formed by the ad-
dition of the ending to the shortened
form of the given name.
Woodchucks.
We walked all night along a road
That we could never see,
Stars in our hair, the moon in a tree,
A yeddow, orange -rind of !noon,
Lulled inlarches by the croon
Of wind that passed ailong the lane,
And wind that soon came back again.
We sat at dawn upon a rock
Beside the little house,
With Puck, the bushy, tawny squirrel,
As noisy as a mouse,
Scampering up the window -sill
And down again like Jack, or Jill,
And only stopped his dancing fuss
To watch the Morning Star with us.
And when the sun had risen,
We plunged into the pool,
And oh! it was blue, and oh! it was
cool! e
We spattered the water in a silver
rah!,
And just to keep dry we plunged In
again
And rose splashing water upon the sun.
He thought it impudent, we thought it
fun.

The Health of School
Children.
The month of September has certain
logical claims to prominenoe,. it is the
first monthof autumn; -it; Is the tran-
sition period betweekl Summer, • with
all its joyous outdoor activities, and
Fall with its evidence of wintar'e ap-
proach; it is the harvest month, and
is often depicted as a period of thanks-
giving. It has, however, one other
claim to everlasting prominence, it is
the month with whichis associated the
retinas of children to school. Play is
a natiDrad child activity, echooi is . a
simile for work, long oon•fining hours,
and prosy books.
The importance of education--- has
long been realized, by all individuals
and agencies. Many plans have been
conceived as to how it may be acquired
and ddstributed. A generation ago few
if any of these dealt with anything but
the question of intellectual attain-
ment; all now realize the fundamental
importance of the present health and.
the continued well-being of the child
at school.
The Inspector, Principal and •teacher
are equally interested with the school
doctor, dentist or nurse, in the physi-
cal condition of the boy or girl. The
interest f
of the parentis taken n e 0r
granted. The school health authorities
manifest their interest by attempting
to safeguard the child from contagious
disease, by supplying school buildings
with modern sanitary equipment, by
the regular inspection by the teacher
and nurse, and the examination by the
physician and dentist. Are parents
realizing their responsibilities? Has
advantage been taken of the oppor-
tunities during the summer vacation,
to have the children immunized
against diptheria or scarlet fever•?
Have they been vaccinated against
smallpox? Iiave the physical defects
noted by the -school or family physician
been correoted? Has the advice of the
school dentist been followed?
Frankly, are you sending your child-
ren back to school, physically equip-
ped to profit by the educational ad-
vantages available, or are you one of
the oomparatively small group, who
ignore suoh worthwhile advice and are
resting in a false sense of health se-
curity? The health of the school-age
Mild is the most important question
that faces either teacher or parent.
