No other radio has ever been able to offer all the advantages and
features found in the Rogers. And now they do not even compare
in price. To getthe best for the least money is a rare experience
—made possible only by the fact that the Roars has a two-year
lead in production, experience and distribution of Batteryless
Radios, There might be some excuse for "gambling" with an
unproven radio if you saved enough—there certainly is not when,
it costs you more.

Some discttssioit took . place as to

Wit:
eretor, when hissleeve was c.enght
in a revolving cylindea in ;.t textile
mill. Mr, Morley states .that in co
twin types of industry, close atten-
tion must be ,paid to the type of
clothes worn, Many accidents would
be prevented if operators wore tight
fitting elothes and rolled the sleeves.
Another serious accident -was in a
iailndry when the pperator failed to
replace the guardoil the extractor
before starting the machine, this re-
sulting in a right' arm being broken
in four places. A third preventable
accident occurred at a plant when the
ladder ort which the janitor was work-
ing, broke. This .accident bad ser-
ious results and is another instance
of the necessity of reasonble inspec-
tion of all eq iipment used. A fatality
involving a machinist's helper was
caused by a large motor truck crush-
ing the helper between casting and
the rear of the truck,. Too rnany s.et-
ious accidents have happened within
the last several months and, accord-
ing to the investigations made by the
Industrial Accident Prevention Assoc-
iations many of these would have
been prevented by the exercise of a
little more care and caution.
MY FAVORITE DISH
(By Alice Brady)
Now thatchestnuts are so plentiful
the following recipe is worth trying:
2 dozen chestnuts, tablespoonful of
butter, 2 yokes of eggs, r 'cupful pow-,
dered sugar, 2 cupfuls milk.
Roast the chestnuts, peel and pound
until very fine. Blend with enough
milk to make a thick pastel Ad'd the
well -beaten yokes' and the batter. Peat
well and add thepowdered sugar.
Scald the rest of the milk and add
the rest of the mixture. Cook in a
double boiler for twenty minutes.
Pour into a dish and chill before ser-
ving,

The increased buying power of the
Canadian people and the surplus
funds in their possession for infest-
ment in the last few years is ac-
counted for by the increased pro-
duction of the Dozninion, substantial
increments having been recorded
since 1923: and a new record made,
according to estimates, in.1927. The
value of gross production in Canada
in 1923 was $4,946,000,000; in 1924
it was $5,263,000,000; in 1925 $5,-
599,000,000 in 1926 $5,6.56,241,624
and in 1927, according to the esti-
mate of the "Financial Post," $5
755,796,70:0. Production in. 1927 ex-
ceeded that of 1926 by approximate-
ly $100,000,000 and that of 1923 by
$809,000,006. Agriculture accounted
for $1,660,387,100; forestry $489,-
405,000; fishing $59,291,000; : trap-
ping $16,78$,600; mining $262,750,...
000; electric power $108,195,090;
construction $398,300,000, and manu-
factures $2,760,700,000.
