and when those dishes were pushed

Tu Hee did her best, but the food
choked her, The image of her uncle
obtruded itself, overcome by fear for
her.
The visualization was too nnnch; for
her.. Turning to the servant she cried
passionately: "Oh, please help me to
get away! I must be home to -night
or nay uncle will die of grief."
The woman's stolid face did not
change. Seemingly unmoved by the
piteous appeal, she merely shook her
head.
"I can't spend another night here,
it would kill me!" cried Tu.Hee. "You

But—and a sudden chill ran through

she was in some lonely part of the

The morning, full of sunshine and
fragrance, peeped into the room where
Tu Hee lay. But it did not bring hope
o the bewildered girl. Her: resolution
as she rose from her bed was to de-

Ungracefully she clambered from

probably discovered that all the shrink
was not out. Woolen goods take their
own time to shrink, at least twelve
hours. Sponging or a few minutes'
steaming won't complete the job.
If you are doing any amount' of
sewing, you really ought to have a
shrink' cloth. Duck snakes' the- best
kind of one. It should be several inch-
es wider than the' :goods, and a yard
longer than a dress length. If duck
isn't .available, heavy unbleached mus-
lin or an .old sheet folded double
will do.
You see, - the wet shrink cloth is
rolled with the goods. There is just
one little trick in the process: the
goods must be kept perfectly smooths',
Spread the goodsdo a table or the
floor. If it is double width, keep it
folded double and the crease exactly
even. Dip the shrink cloth in a pail
or basin of water, wetting it thor-
oughly. Wring the cloth loosely; and
place it on the goods almost dripping:
wet. Smooth the shrink cloth over the.
goods and roll both layers over a
smooth board or broom handle. The
shrink cloth should be long enough to
wrap several times around the outside.
After the cloth is carefully rolled,
put it away for twelve hours. It is
the slow ; process that contracts the
yarn. When you unroll it, if it is
very damp spread it out to dry a little.
Press, while damp, on the wrong side.
Woolen goods will .shrink both in
width and length.
Some goods have cotton or silk
threads woven in the selvage. In this
case the selvages will not shrink as
much as the body of the goods. ` Cut
the selvages off before pressing; or, if
you want to take an extra precaution,
cut the selvage off before rolling the
goods in the shrink cloth.
Of course, with all this laundering
and scrubbing in mind, I am thinking
of school clothes. Frocks whose
pockets are destined to be candy car-

make them washable. ,They may be

"Master Chu Sing not here," was
the quick response.
"Not here?" repeated Tu Hee, dis-

evidently delayed him."
"No." The woman shook her :head

There was nothing to' do b'irt sit with

The Bankers' TruSt Company of
New York, after completing: an ex
liaustive survey of Canadian industry,
estimates that the United States has
invested in Canada the sum of $2,600,-.
000,000, The last pronouncement oP,
the appro• irn ite'aln,ount of American
money in Canada ween made by Sir
Loser Guilin in the Federal Legisla-
ture about the middle of the year 1922
when he stated that this amounted to
nearly two billion .dollars. The in;
crement indicated in the new estimate
is illustrative of the manner In which
'United States funds in Canada' are in-
creasing, and may be taken as ,accur-
ate • in view of the heavy investments
remade by: the • Republic in 1922, whioh
established a record..
In the year 1922, Canadian bond
sales in the .United States, amounted
to .well over ,$261,000000, or $'37,000,-
000 In excess of the previous highest
figure reached in 1920. Adding to
this investments of a general nature,
other than thoee represented' In the
sale of bonds, and it is. easy to arc:
count for $300,000,000 in the twelve
months, which would bring the total
amount of American fundis ;invested,
in Canada well within sight of the.
two and a half billions.. estimated by
the Bankers' Trust. •
The increasing ' ascendancy of
American funds; in , Canadian, annual
development has been:' an outstanding
feature of the post-war era. In the
year 1913, for instance, when Great
Britain invented about. $276,000,000 in
Canada; a little .more than $61,000,000
came. That this movement has, by no
meaner ;yet reached its zenith' is, indi-
cated • in the fact, that the sale of
Canadian bonds in the United •-States
in the early months' of 1923 have been
sirbsrtantially greater than in 1922, the -
reoord year. In 1915 the United
States is estimated to have had $750,.
000,000 of Canadian Ynvesttments.,
Further Establishment of Branch
plants.
United States money is entering in-
to every phase of Canadian economee
development . Of the total amount of
American money invested in Canada
at the present tine, $1,200,000,000 ie
estimated to be in bonds and there -
business, industrial enterprises, bank-
nhainder in farm's, mortgages, 'small
ing and private loans.
The difficulty of oomputing Ameri-
can' industrial investment has wince
the war been enhanced by the grow-
ing popularity of the movement to es- •
tiablish tiranch plants of American in-
,dustries:in Canada, which, financed by
capital from. the Unitted, States, oper-
ate to aal intents and purposes, as
Canadian industries. It Is stated- that
there were more than 200 branch fat
toaries, opened up in Canada, by -United.
States concerns 3n 1919, and a greater
number- in. 1920 and 1921. The past .
year was an •exceptional; one in this
regard, and eon5ervative estimates
place the number of branch plants of`
United States establishments open-st•' •
ing in Canada at over one thousand "
I
The •present year promises to be on,
standing from every point of ,Ai ierl-...
can investment. Not only are, bond
sales larger than ever before, but an,
unprecedented number of branch fac-
tories have either esltableshed oa
Canadian soil or declared their inten-
tion -of se locating. An exceptional/
amount of American money is being
expended, this year ' in the develop-
ment of Canadian water -powers and ill '
promoting other industrial eniterprisse:
on a large scale:- American bankers,
according to report are anticipating
a still greater movement of money,
.over'the border,
It is expected this year that the
volume of American investment in
Canada will reach that established by
British funds. At the last computa-
tion, about the, muddle of bast year,
British Investment was eathnated to
be t' o and a half billion dollars` as+
against the United States, two billions'.
The huge A.inenican investment last
year tended to equalize this and the
movement this, year will probably de-
finitely bring, the two together. There
