Something like 6Q,900- Children Cross the Atlantic in the big liners every year, and a large number of them travel unaccompanied by either relatives or adult friends, It is not alt uncommon sight to see a. child of twelve or fifteen months go aboard in the arms cf a matron, There are many reasons why mothers have to send their . babies across .the sea, and often the part- ings at tate quayside are very tragic. Children soon forget, however, and the generous and efficient mothering Of a ship's conductress, together with the facilities afforded on the modern liner in ,the way of nurseries and so on, make the voyage delightful for many a lonely little traveller. The fairy godmother of the sea Is usually a woman of many parts. Not only is she an experienced traveller, but she has 'the happy knack of at- tragting children and malting them feel at home on the big ship. In the care of the kiddies she is ably assist- ed by the stewardesses and the ma- tron, since a child travelling alone on a .liner must never be left, night or day, throughout the voyage. But, .arduous as this job is, that is only a small part of the ship eon- ductress' work. Being .a woman of much knowledge of travel facilities, and working and social conditions on the other side of the atlantic, she is in constant demand among the wo- men and girls who are going out to jobs in Canada and the United States. Every year thousands of emigrants cross the .A.tlantie, and -large num- bers of them .have, never been at sea before. It is here that the ship's con- ductress finds the bulk of her work. She must knowhow to comfort 'a girl who, during the trip, has suddenly developed home -sickness, and who is a little apprehensive as to what will happen to her on the other side. Tact, charm., motherliness are exceed- ingly useful to a conductress. Another part of her job is to help a harassed motherwho is taking out,: the family of eight, nine, or ten, sometimes more, children, to join daddy at the back of beyond. In cases like this the 'mother has her hands full keeping herbrood oust of mis- chief and danger while on the liner, and It not until the time of landing on the other side that her biggest trouble begins. Of ter mothers in such a plight are, escorted from the ship to the train and seen safely off with the family for their final destination. This- the ship's conductress does for the lonely children and girls also, and frequently she travels part of the way by train to where a relative or some organization will pick up the travellers. Her ship may be in port. only four or five days before it sets sail, and maybe two of those days have been spent travelling about the country, seeing her charges safely "handed over." But these do not constitute the whole of her duties. While atsea sheis always organizing concerts, whist drives, parties, and fancy-dress dances amongst the third-class pas- sengers. And whilst her evork con- fines her largely to this class, she finds time to become acquainted with many of the more fortunate ones in the cabin or first-class, for by so do- ing she is often the means of: intro- ducing an _ambitious emigrant to a sympathetic employer. If, amid .all these duties, she can find five minutes to spare for her- self, er self,sewi probably h ll takeastroll on the promenade deck and gaze out to the sea that provides her with such an incredibly strenuous livelihood. THE CORSET.. Ladies of France Refused to Aban- don It. The corset, writes Looker -On in the London Daily Chronicle, which threatens to resume its old whale- bone rigidity with the return of long- er skirts and :tighter waists, must rank among the articles of dress which, however often denounced,. seem invulnerable against attack. Louis XIV. of France, though he suppressed the high headdresses of Court ladies by a word, could not win obedience to a decree against the corset, and when Charles X., proving once more that the Bourbons are un teachable, condemned it to ,extinc tion, it was noted that the ladies merely clasped it about them more tightly than ever. A more subtle move was that of. the Emperor Joseph II. of Austria, who sought to discredit the corset by ordering that women of bad charac- terconvictedor of serious elanh s should be made to wear them. But even that did not discourage the ()there. 1bl,o1.4:,0'00,000 Kilowatt I'Ioure:. lljleetric energy developed in Can- ade during 1929 amounted to more than 18,014,000,000 kilowatt hours. This was an increase of 10:6 per cent., over the 1928 outputut and almost dou- ble u- ble that of 1924, The increase is., attributed by the Dominion Bureau of`. Statistics largely to 'the rapid g•royvtli of the pulp and paper industry, In 1924 motors in Mille ald.paper mills had a rated capacity of 315,464 horsepower and in 1927 the figures had more than doubled. The industry, it is explained, uses electric power practically 24 hours a day as against an averageworking day of eight or nine /tours for other manufacturers. Large .Airship' Sheds.

This touching :hymn so. expressive of •Christian faith and trust was writ- ten by the. Rev. Maxwell N. Cornel- ius, D.D., at that time pastor of a Presbyterian churchin Pasadena, Cal- ifornia, and was inspired by the death of his wife. Broijght .up on• a farm in Pennsyl- vania, be became a bricklayer and then a contractor. While pursuing his trade he met with a severe acci- dent and broke his leg in more than one place. So serious was the injury that the doctors decided that the only way to save his life was to amputate the damaged limb. The patient who had a great love of music' begged to be permitted to play once more uuon his fiddle before what he was told might be a fatal operation. His 'extemporisation was so appropriate and touching that all hearts were touehcd'and doctors and nurses were' moved to tears. The operation left him unable to prosecute his business successfully and he determined to acquire a pro- fessional education. By the time he completed his college course his heart had been won and he decided to de- vote the remained of his life to the sacred minis try. After being receiv- ed into the Presbyterian ministry he officiated in one or Iwo other charges before his appointment to a pastor- ate in Pasadena. There Ite judged it necessary to er- ect a large church building, but be- fore it was completed: found himself crippled by want of funds. Deaths and changing circumstances had cut off many large subscriptions, and he had a tremendous struggle to over- come the troubles with debts. Then soon after that had been accomplish- ed his treasured wife who had been of the utmost assistance to his work was removed by death. Rev. Cornelius took her funeral ser- vice and he concluded his sermon by quoting otir hymn. The sermon creat- ed a deep impression and was report- ed in full in the newspapers, includ- ing the words of the hymn. Major Whittle, then a very. Well known ev- angelistic worker chanced to see the verses, crit them and carried thein about in his Bible for three months. One day the Major thought the hymn not quite complete, and composed the chorus to it. Then he handed it to an acquaintance, Tames i'vicGranahan, who set $evereal revivalistic hymns to intrsic, and he composed the tune to which it is always sting. iulr. Ira D. Sankey acquired it from ltFajor Whittle and :added it to -itis rcp'ortoire, printing it in the latter dditicros of "tittered Songs and Sol -os.” T.t was often sung by him at the Moody and Sankey services and soon bccanie popular, though it has not made its way into many of the inie portant hymnals, otttside'of the Unit- ed' States, ser. Sankey tells us •that "At one of our crowded: meetings in the ' set, Assembly Nall in Edinburgh, Nfr. Moody' called to the platform, Lotti Ovcrtottn, who changed the meeting into a memorial service for :King T d- ward'seldest son, the Dleke of C.lar• mice, who had me -pally died.

Looking-, you're likely to find two particu- larly disturbing factors. One is that some of your customers are shopping c)utside of Wing - ham. The other is that these same customers, and some others also, are buying from mail or- der houses. Disturbing as these conditions are, adver- tising- is a way of getting around them. Adver- tising, that is, where it can do you the uiiost good, advertising where your customers are certain to see it—advertising in your, local home newspaper. Your own advertising is essential. There's no doubt of that. But if your merchandise turnover is to speech tip and stay that way, the advertising support of the Manufacturers Whose commodities you handle is just as nec- essary.
