Phone 166 - Wing "CANADA 1930" "Canada 1930" is the title of a new publication just issued by the Mtn - inion Bureau of Statistics, the nature end purpose of which are described in foreward • by the Honourable Mr. Malcolm,; the Minister of Trade and Commerce. The need has been felt for some time for a ; concise and up- to-date annual review, comprehensive. in scope and popular in form, of the current economic situation in Canada, which would serve as a precise and compendium of the more voluminous statistical publications already avail- -able. The Handbook has been prepared with special care looking to the above 'requirements. In an- "Introduction" to the whole, a general survey of the Tear just passed. is given, analysing its governing influences and the inter- relation of the more important econ- •omic.developments which it has wit- nessed, ; This is followed by nineteen 'brief` chapters devoted in turn to the, FIistory and ' Institutions of the 'Do- minion, its Natural Resources, the National Wealth and Income, Popu- lation, Agriculture, Forestry, Mining, Fisheries; Water -powers,` Construct- ion, Trade, Transportation, Finance, Labour Conditions, Education, etc. In each of these, up-to-the-minute in- formation is presented, with a descrip- tive review of the more important past conditions out of which the pre- sent has developed. Statistical tables appear in . the main in an Appendix which is divided into two parte, the first tracing the progress of the Do `minion' in its various manifestations since 1900, and the second giving the 'more itnporatnt economic barometers from month to month during the year . just passed. To quote from the Ministers' fore- word: "The handbook has two immediate :practical objects: Outside of Canada it will present a balanced picture of Canadian conditions, with sufficient, •historical and descriptive background to render them intelligible and inter • esting in a broad way, at a time when Canada is much in the eye of the -world as a field for ne* enterprise. In Canada itself, appearing as .it does • intmediately after the. New Year, and -taking the basic form" of a review and interpretation of the years just passed it will assist in that general discussion and appraisement of the situation us- ual to the season of stocktaking, thus helping, it is hoped, to lay 'founda- tions for still further national pro- gress in 1930." The Handbook . is profusely illus- trated with rotogravures and dia- grams, and while popular in form om- its no crucial analyses of the existing situation. In brief it is a scientifi- cally conceived but easily assimilable presentation of the data essential in the forming of a measured judgment as to current Canadian progress. A copy may be secured on application to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. BELATED ELECTION NOTES Unusual interest was shown this year in the Municipal Elections in the various sections of the County. In East. Wawanosh while there was no election for the Council, as Mr. E. Walker and Mr. Youngblut went in by acclamation, there was keen com- petition for. the Reeveship as three candidates were in the field. Mr- P. Scott, Mr. Bert. Thompson and Mr. R. Coultes, ran, with the result as follows: Mr. Bert Thompson headed the poll with 201 votes, Mr. Scott 146, Mr. Coultes 107. Mr. Thompson has served in the Council for the past five years. In West Wawanosh there was no election with Win. Mole as Reeve, and Councillors, F. Todd, W. Carr, W. Stewart and L. Webster. Busi- ness will progress the same as last year. In Morris W. J. Henderson is the Reeve again for 1930 with the Coun- cillors, A. Wheeler, T. Bridge, Bert Watson and J. Brown. In Turnberry the Reeve is Mr. I. Wright; Council, Mr. McTavish, Ed. 13aird, R. Wilkin, and P. McEwen. Head Se Bronchial ASTHMAColds . You CAN have the relief that so many others have had, For instance, Mrs. W. A.

Poet Mountable to Seale, In mapping the Dominion's neem- talncus districts, the' surveyor, $ Y5 the Canadian Bureau of Natural Re- sources, must be a mountain climber as well. Inthehro broken areas as ofWest- ern Canada, where elevations vary from foot -hills to peaks :L1,000 feet or more above sea. -level., survey for Mapping purposes by the regular methods as 'used in' level or nearly level country are practically impos- sible except for limited areas, apd almost prohibitive owing to excessive cost. Some cheaper and more prac- tical method of survey had to he dis- covered. Thus it was that, as early as 1886, Canada adopted and improv- ed the system of photographic survey- ing for such regions.. In making use of .this method it is necessary that all the portions o2 the areas to be surveyed must be seen from at least tyro points and photo- graphs taken therefrom to cover the complete circuit of the horizon. In ot'hert words, every detail must be, covered In at least two views. This means many peaks must be climbed by the surveyor with his transit and camera, and the position and eleva- tion of each established. While taking the photographs the. surveyor also observes certain prom- inent peaks or points which he con- siders will. onsiders'wili. afterwards be easily iden- tified in the photographs. At the same time he may ascertain the angle of elevation or depression of these points and carry on .triangulation:. One survey party in Jasper Na- tional Park climbed 29 peaks in the course, of their duties. Of these twelve were more than. 10,000 feet abbve sea 'level, including Nigel peak (10,625 Peet)., Sunwapta peak (10,- 865 feet), 10;865-feet), and Poboktanpeak (about 10,089 feet). TOO BAD. Winston Churchill Tells One Against Himself. As most people are aware, Mr. Winston Churchill is by no means averse to telling stories against him se1f. One especially good one he fired off the other day concerned an old man who.happened to see a picture of him in a window, and stopped to ask a by- stander who it was. "Oh, that's Winston Churchill," was the reply. The old chap was more than a little. deaf, but he caught, though imper- fectly, Winston's surname. "Church?" he said; ."A clergyman, is he? Where does he preach?" "He's not a preacher," explained the other; "he's a politician." "A what?" "A politician, a member of Pita- ,lament." The old manslowly shook his head, and a look of pity came into his eyes. "That's too bad!", he exclaimed sadly. "And he. has such a good face, tool" 1VIOTOE-COACH STATION. London Terminus to I3e as Big as a Railway Station. The immense popularity of motor - coaches is indicated by the fact that a terminus as big as a railway station ie being erected in the li,eart of London. The new terminus is being built near Kennington Oval and will be equipped With eight platforms, each long enough to permit a passenger train to draw up on either side. The entrance and station occupy an area 850 feet deep. More than 400,coaches will be accommodated at once, and forty will be able to load and unload at the same time. Passengers will be able to take their tickets at an up-to-date booking office and look up the platform from which their coach is to start by means of an electrical indicator. There will be a waiting -room to hold 1,000 peo- ple, refreshment rooms, and a big repair shop with a 12,000 -gallon sup- ply of petrol, Whale 011 Factory Ship. Belfast, spending $1,600,000 on the construction of •a new dock, has seen a gratifying improvement in its shipbuilding trade whose collapse after the great war caused widespread distress in the city. 'There is building a great transatlantic liner costing $35,000,000. An unusual type of vee- sel now being built in Belfast for Norwegian owners is a whale oil fac- tory ship of 20,000 tons displacement and arranged to carry a small air- plane for reconnaissance work in the Ross, sea in search of whales. Blub- ber boilers are being installed. Princes and Styles, What the King's eons wear is of deep interest not only to the young men of England, but throughout Eu- rope. Their taste; in clothes has a quick reflection on prevailing fash- ions, and each of them has a style of his own. Prince George is particular- ly followed ley tall young men. He dresses to suit himself, an persists iii wearing a large butterfly tie with "tails" and an evening shirt with two button -hales. The Prince of Wales varies his evening fomula from sea- son to season. He is known, however, as a "one button". man. lV1oon Myths.

Oaigarlans swear by "11.13," write s Arthur T. Woollaeott, k'.R. G.S„ In Toronto Saturday Night. They have known R, B. Bennett 2or thirty years and whatever side of theolitical fence they may be on they have no hesitation in paying homage to him as a man, What they like most about him is that he has never lost his ap- preciation of the value of the indi- vidual. ;auecess has not turned his head. Humanity is not a brute fact with him, because it is made up of his friends and neighbors whom he knows intimately, and others like them, real people with their ups and downs, aspirations, struggles, misfor- tunes and occasional successes: A few westerners know the story of the penniless asptrant for legal honors, of the opposite political faith be it said, who conceived the idea of writing to Bennett for financial assistance:.. Bennett arrived in a western town andwee met at the station by a line- up of all the big guns of his party, all of whom had tales to tell, but he frankly told them that he hadn't the time to say anything to any of them and could only greet them en masse:' The student -at -law pushed bis way from the back of the crowd and in- troduced himself to Bennett. "You're- So -and -So said R. B. "Yes, I recall your letter. 'I can give you just five minutes." R. B. steered the young man into a convenient office, took out his cheque book and asking a few questions which 'were really comments that in- dicated his thorough grasp of the sit- uation, wrote out a cheque large. enough to see the young man safely launched as a full-fledged lawyer. "Pay this back when you can, and in the meantime don't worry about it," were R,B.'s parting words as he cordially shook hands with the young man. That young man is now a suc- cessful western lawyer. A. few old timers know another story about R. B. Bennett which they like to tell as a characteristic in- stance of his humanity. A very old, old lady with a very large farm found herself in the pre- dicament in which people without business ability are likely to get. All her men folks were gone, the last of them, her sons, killed in the Great War. She had no living relatives. The large acreage that was still hers, in name only, was encumbered in various ways by taxes, mortgages, debts, backward rentals and a falling off in productivity. The old lady was in a quandary, but happened to con- sult a Calgary business man who. new Bennett.He, could do nothing him- self, but suggested that R. B. might be able to find a way out for her. "I'll notify you when he is in town. Then go to see him. Don't take nb._ from any of his office staff. His very efficient bodyguard of secretaries will naturally try to sidetrack you, but just brush them aside and march right in to `R. B.'s' sanctum." The old lady followedinstructions to the letter. R. B. listened with sympathy as she unfolded her tale of bankruptcy. As . she afterwards said, she realized more than ever how hopeless her case was while she was telling him the details. At the conclusion of her recital R. B. got up and put bis hands on her shoulders. "Leave all your pa- pers with me and come back in six weeks. You'll find everything then in ship-shape order." "But how can you do it?" she ex- claimed with a glimmering suspicion that 110 human agency oould restore her affairs in any satisfactory way. "Leave that to me," he said, "If men like me can't Iook after mothers like you this world would be a poor place to live in." Six weeks later the bewildered old lady got all her papers back and found thatall her affairs were in order, that is to say, her broad acres were free from incumbrance and were again bringing in an income, but to the day of her death the dear old lady could never figure out just exactly how it was done. Donkey's Wonderful Foot. The foot of an ass is one of the most ingenious andunexampled pieces of mechanism in animal structure. The hoof contains a series of vertical and thin laminae of horn, amounting to about nve hundred, and forming .a complete lining to it. In this are fit- ted as many laminae belonging tothe coffin -bone, while both sets are elas- tic and adherent. The edge of a quire of paper Inserted leaf by leaf into an- other will convey a sufficient idea of the arrangement. Thus the weight of the animal is supported by as many elastic springs as there are laminae in all the feet, amounting to about 4,000, distributed in the most eseure manner, since every spring is acted upon in an oblique direction. Clever Museum Staff, The British Museum boasts among its large staff almost every type of artist and orafteman, and I was greatly interested, saysa correspon- dent to the London Daily Chronicle. in its private "house -show" held re- cently. ;This took place in the newly - decorated North Library, and con- sisted of oil and water -color paint- ings, etchings and other works of art, all executed by members of the staff. Perhaps the most interesting, because the most unusual, were the various curios; of all ages, that had been re- stored by the Museum laboratories. The delicate work involved in the res- toration of these bbjeets, many of them, minute, is obviously the result of patient and enlightened ingenuitly. ()lock Plays Tones.

Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie Allen ,Brown Fashions It is hard tp believe that long skirts are in style and are actually beim worn again, They have been threat- ened frequently but have never really arrived, How many women who has ever struggled with long skirts will- ingly goes back to them is beyond tile. Undoubtedly skirts were too short, but there is moderation in all things—even in skirts. Sometimes it would seen; that women blindly fol- low Fashion, like a flock of sheep. There are times when people ere forced into styles that they do not particularly desire, because they can not get what they want. Many wom- en eventually bobbed their hair be- cause it was almost impossible to get a hat that would fit an unbobbed head. The other day our most ex- clusive store had dresses in the win- dow that touched the floor all the. way round, These happened to be evening dresses, which are not so bad long, but the afternoon dresses are long too. One of my friends was shopping for an afternoon dress and as, she was de- termined not to get a dress long en- ough to show under her coat, by the time she bought a dress we hasseen g everyafternoon dress in the city. At Y that she ended by getting one that was quite long at the back, with the front a nice length, not too long nor too short. The short ones were just dresses and lacked that exclusive thing called style. Possibly after the young girls (who are always the first to embrace a change in style) have had a spell of`dragging skirts through snow and wet, they may rebel and in- sist on shorter skirts. We have seen enbugh knees but most of us do not welcome real long skirts. The queer part of it is, that although itis so hard to buy a reasonably long skirt even all the way round, very few long skirts are seen on the street. So may- be there is hope yet. Sad to relate, muffs are out of fa- shion. We frequently read that they are to be worn, but they never seem to get past the fashion papers. After coming in one cold winter's day with my hands nearly frozen, I decided to carry my muff, fpr what is the sense of having a muff languish in the ce- dar chest and suffer with cold hands? So 1 took my muff on my next walk. The looks that poor innocent thing. got were amusing. Some people tried to Make it in without appearing to took any way at all. Others frankly stared.

Variety in the Menu The judicious nee of canned foods is one of the easiest ways of obtain- ing variety in the daily menu. Hap- hazard planning of meals is apt to be expensive and to lack variety, but if meals are planned ahead of time and thefoods dove -tailed, luxuries may be had at much less cost, Fuel bills are reduced if full use is made of the ov- ven when it is heated for one food: The following dinner and supper will illustrate this. The dinner con- sisted of laked potatoes, scalloped tomatoes, pork chops, celery, pineap- ple tapioca pudding, supper was celery soup, asparagus salad, baked apples and cookies. The oven was used to cook the po- tatoes,' chops and apple for supper. Sufficient celery was purchased for several meals. and the coarse outside pieces were kept for soup and salad, and nothing but the tender inside stalks appeared on the table. The cream of celery soup was made of celery, potato, onion (reinoved before serving), and the liquid from the can of asparagus used for the salad, milk and the liquid remaining after boil- ing the celery and potato. The flav- our of the asparagus made the soup a particularly delicious one. Cream. soups should be used frequently in winter. Some of the celery was used later in the week in a salad of celery, apple and grated carrot. The Pineapple Tapioca Pudding was made from quick tapioca and af- ter the pudding was in the serving dish was spread with a few table- spoons of pineapple. This is a very easy pudding to make if cooked in a double ' boiler as it requires so little watching. The remainder of the can appeared in several dishes before the, end of the week. Some was added to a small amount of apple -sauce to eat with sausage. Some was added to cabbage salad by way of variety. A fruit cup was made from the odds and ends of preserves. This particular one contained strawberries, peaches Takes too long to e• plain why, but you do get more eggs when you give your hens a daily dose of mit Makes ZleritO Lay More Eggs Sold by all dealers Write for Pratts$9ultry Rook,—Frey PRATT FOOD CO,, of Canada Ltd. 328 Carboy Ave., 'Toronto 8,:0t t cut into small pieces, applesauce and 3 tablespoons of pineapple. It was served in sherbet cups and topped with whipped cream. If you try this you will save the ends of bottles of fruit too. The use of apples in a fruit cup is a recent discovery, but I find; that apple -sauce or coddles apples im- prove the flavour; add to the bulk,. make it less rich and is inexpensive. If I ' do . not use apples I use lemon juice. Add lemon juice to foods whenever possible not only to im. prove the flavour but to .add mineral salts and vitamins to the diet. We have strayed from our can of pine apple. There was still a small am-. • Dunt remaining, mostly juice, so that was added to a lemon jelly. Thus en- Beth the can of pineapple. Nuts and Raisins Nuts and raisins are foods which contain a fairly large percentage of valuable minerals and vitamins. Many people look askance at thein as being difficult to digest. One of the chief reasons for this difficulty is that they • are usually kept for company or holi- day occasions, and are eaten at the end of an, already big meal. 'Eat them frequently at your winter meals, but count them as part of your meal and have the first part correspondingly light. Keep themr on hand to use when the rest of the meal is a bit sketchy, for this will happen in even the best of regulated families. Let. the small children have the raisins but notthe nuts.
