' Manufacturing plants are unusually busy; merchan- dise distribution is being maintained at a high . level; automobile produc- tion ls.-setting new records, and the employment situation is highly en- couraging. • While the acreage devoted to wheat in the Canadian West this season will r,be somewhat smaller than last year, owing to delay in seeding, the general crop situation is promising. The pros- pects are splendid because of mois. ture, the cool weather tending to de- velop good roots and bring out a str ,er stand. Oats and barley are c ng along well, construction program is now well''u"nder way. Engineering works, road building and railway construe- -ion form important items. There are a number .of factories, . warehouses, flour mills, elevators and other trad- ing, facilities being built. At country points and on farms greater activity appears to prevail in construction work. Business generally throughout the country is in excess of last year. The •dollar volume of, business in the first four: months of the current year has bF n 7..4 per cent. greater than in. th6. similar period ow 1926; '21..2 per cent. greater than in 1925, and 24..2 per cent, greater than in 1924, No Setback In Sight. There seems little possibility of any setback in business, other than a mild recession, for some time to come. Manufacturing is `keeping pace with demand, and merchants are stocking goods only, for immediate require- ments. . There is' still a tendency among • producers and dealers to avoid large commitments' until prices become more stabilized. For some months back the general level of wholesale prices has been downward, although the movement has not taken on the appearance of a.slump. During May, however, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics' index for 236 commodities rose 3.4, being 151.9 as compared with 148.5 in April. Tlie' in- crease in the general index was al- most solely due to the -much higher levels for grains, flour and potatoes. ;tacks on hand are reported as being less than usual. The outlook for the metal markets continues good. Interest in third- quarter 'needs is developing .as June advances, and sellers of iron and steel elpate some fair tonnagesin the ear future. Prices seem, to be hold - their own g despite the contraction.' Industry, apart from seasonal -fluc- tuations and the intervention of holt- ii y's, is 'setting a swift pace. Motor- car production is increasing. - May was a record-breaking mouth for General Motors, The plants at Oshawa, Ont., produced 12,190 cars during the month, exceeding May of Last year by 58 per cent. Iron and. Steel Output. In the grain trade contracts total- ing $119,00 have been let in connec- tion with the audition to the Burrard elevator at ancouver. Transmission machinery willbe supplied by Cana- dian Vickers, Ltd., and the structural steel by McLennan, McFeely & Co. Additions to three Port Arthur . ele- vators this season will coat $670,000. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that production of iron and steel and ;their products in Canada during 1926, amountedin value to $496,376,260, being an increase of 23 per cent, over the total for 1925 and a higher output value than in any. other year since 1920. The operating capital of the indus- try at $592,134,860 was 4 per cent. higher than in the previous year; the cumber of employees was 101,414,. compared with 90,125 in 1925. Metal production in Northern .On- tario is increasing rapidly. Output from themines of Cobalt, South Lor- rain and'gowganda silver district ,has flhitiJly re ched a total of $250,000,000. This is the second miningcamp in northern Ontario to reach this, figure. The Wisdom of the Ancients La Presse (Ind.):' (Maurice Hutton, Principal of University College, To- ronto, considers that insufficient at- tention is paid nowadays to the study of the great ancient philosophers, much as Plato and Aristole). Pro- fessor Hutton's ideas are without doubt shared by the greater number of Ontario educationists. May they grow in strength from day to day and have a profound influence upon the I ar mind.

There is - nothing to compare with the smooth, sure performances of these big, low- pressure tires. Jolts andvibrations disappear. Stretches of rough going cannot disturb you or harm the mech- anism and well-built structure of your car. If it is slippery and muddy underfoot; Gum -Dipped Tires, having double the road contact, cling to.the road and hold the car unwaveringly to a true,straight course. On grades there is extra tract- ion; at sharp curves or in quick stops you will have perfect control of wheel and brake. Skidding is almost' ha - possible. Through the development of the ex- clusive Gum -Dipping process, Fire- stone has tremendously increased tire mileage in balloon tires. This insulates and impregnates every fibre of every cord with rubber, reduces internal heat and friction and delivers thousands of extra miles with added comfort and safety. Ask any Firestone Deere 'to show you the structure of Balloon' Gum -Dipped Tires and to tell you their advantages. He is an authority on this type of tire and is in a position to serve you better and save you money.

When a girl in her teens becomes pale and sallow, especially if at the same time she shows inclination to tire easily, a listlessness and inatten- tion to her work Or studies, she needs Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic which directly and specifically cor- rects the condition from which she is suffering. A chemical analysis of the blood of such a girl would show it to he ,.deficient in just the elements Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can supply. But an analysis of the blood is not needed --the physical signs are plain. Among these' signs are a pallor Of the cheeks and lips, dark circles un- der the eyes, easily tired and breath- less after slight exertion. Poor appe- tite, headaches, and sometimes faint- ing spells follow; often the patient is nervous and is startled ht the least noise.

The statement of Miss Dorothy Lumblin, Rush Is- land, N.S., will, bring hope to other weak girls. She says: -"I wish from my heart I could persuade every per- son °who' is in a run-down condition to give Dr: Williams' Pink Pills a trial, About a year ago I was a weak girl suffering • from impoverished blood and a run-down system, with many of the attendant symptoms. I bad often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; and decided ,to take them, and after using six boxes I feel as well and strong as ever- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be my standby in the future if ever my blood needs build- ing up again, and I shall always find pleasure in recommending them to others." You can get these ,pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Wr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Strength of the Chinese Army "While 'in 'organization, leadership and equipment the Chinese army to- day cannot compare favorably with the armies of the United States and European powers, it is vastly superior to the old Chinese army of a genera- tion ago, when the battles were noth- ing but horrid farces 'in which the Chinese troops, armed with only the most primitive weapons, proved to be the unhappy butts of the strange, terrifying and effective guns and rifles of the invaders," writes Chih- Chen Wang, formereditor of The Pe- king Express, in June Current His- tory. - "To -day the well-equipped Chinese Army has latest model rifles, artil- lery, trench mortars . and machine guns, either manufactured' in the leading Chinese arsenate or pur- chased abroad. Armoured trains and motor cars are now used, and band grenades and poison gas are also made, though they have not yet come into common use. Trench warfare is now the general rule and airplanes serve in observation and bombing. "Owing to many factors it is mpos,. sable to obtain any accurate figures. regarding the actual number of men. under arms in China. Writing in the Eastern Miscellany, a leading Chinese monthly, a Chinese authority coria - piled, an exhaustive list of all the known divisions, •brigades and regi- ments after the Shanghai war of 1924 andreachedthe. staggering total of 210•divisions and 180 brigades, or, in round numbers, 3,000,000 men under arms! ,The Britisli-edited' China Year. Book for 1926.1927 suggests that 2,- 000,000 is probably a safe estimate. Since the Nationalist campaign to uify China began last Fall, the num-. ber of soldiers must have increased, so an estimate that tends toward the 3,000,000 mark would not seem 'exag- gerated.

No sporting event in years has at- tracted as much attention as the 21 - mile swlmmiug race to be staged on August 31st in Lake Ontario in front o fthe Canadian National Exhibition Grounds at Toronto. Scores of the world's greatest swimmers, including George Young, winner of the Catalina Channel contest, will compete for the $60,000. prize money. A surprising feature .is the number of women wha have entered for the long grind. In this group are four with splendid re- cords. At the left is Ethel nestle, 19 - year -old New York High School girl, 880 -yard champion of the "United States and long distance champion of the State of Connecticut. She was for six hours the closest swimmer to George Young and Norman Ross in the Catalina swim. Top centre is Madame Jane Sion, champion long distance swimmer of Euprope. She is a Frenchwoman but resides in Brussels. Lower centre Is Mrs. H. Martens, of Toronto, who is a strong swimmer with remarkable staying powers.

Oxford Troubled by Sex "Dons of ancient Oxford have at- tacked sex problems and coeducation as allied enemies to the scholastic ad- vancement of the university's young men. By a margin of sixty-five they have voted to reduce the number of feminine students to a ratio of one woman for four men. Proponents' of the new limitation declare the co- education has beenattended at led bY an undesirable increase in freedom be- tween the sexes to the detriment of study. If this be true, the condition' constitutes a challenge to coeduca- tion. However, it strikes us that the contentions of Miss Marjorie Fry, principal of Somlfierville College, who opposed reduction, more nearly ap- proximate the actual truth- Leading the defense for her sex Miss Fry de- clared that manifestations ofeasy sex relations are not confined to Oxford, but have been clearly in evidence throughout the world since the war. This observation is so obviously prac- tical as to make it seem unlikely that mere reduction in the ranks of wo- men students will provide a remedy for the purported increasing interest of Oxford students in the opposite sex. Since the war, coeducational in- stitutions in the United States have faced a similar condition. Twenty years ago, mingling of the sexes in many of these institutions was frown- ed upon by the student bodies them- selves. Since the war, however, fra- ternization has become more and more the rule. Educators in this country have not viewed the matter with any great alarm. Probably it will do the Oxford dons little good to take drastic measures. If their stu- dents want feminine companionship, and find the supply curtailed in the vicinity of their college walls, they will doubtless search for It else- where." -- (From the Independent, Boston).
