Historic Scene
Royal Bank Calendar Depicts
Opening of Canada's
ailr0att
Was Canada's first railroad open-, C
ed in 1836 or 1837? Were the cars ab
hauled by a locomotive or by horses
under that of 1934. Oats and bar-
ley crops were heavier but prices
were lower while the hay, potato and i
sugar beet crops carried higher val-
n es though the potato crop was much
smaller than the previous one.
reamery butter production is up

on the inaugural run? How ,big was
the locomotive and did it break down
or not?
These and many similar questions
which have centred around the op-
ening of Canada's first railroad a
century ago find their answer in a
new calendar just issued ay The
'::Royal Bank of Canada. Executed by
(Sheriff Scott, one of Canada's fore-
most painters of historic suojects,
:this year's calendar picture depicts
the colorful scene at Laprairie when
the first train of the Champlain and
St. Lawrence Railroad steamed out
on her inaugural run. The relative
dimensions of the "Dorchester" and
'a locomotive of the present day
strikingly -demonstrate the pygmy
elze of Canada's first passenger
!Iocomotive. Somewhat larger than a
Baby Austin, yet smaller than a
Ford, a grown man could easily see
over the boiler of the "Dorchester."
She was only 13' 6" long as com-
,pared with the 90 foot giants com-
monly used today by both Canadian
railways. And yet, for all her dim-
inutive size, she performed heroic
service and over a fifteen weeks'
period in her first year of opera-
tion she travelled 8600 miles and
hauled 15,929 passengers besides
freight.
Additional interest is given to this
year's calendar picture oy the fact
that plans are now going actively
forward for a centenary ceieuratton

A Walling Machine
Device for Testing the Wear
of Shoes Has Many "Legs"
The proper way to find out how
a 'pair of shoes will wear is to walk
in jihem. A few shoemakers have
actually tested their product in that
way. Miles and miles were walled,
and after weeks an expert in t
factory passed on soles, welts an
uppers.
Apart from the time consumed
this kind of a practical test is no
scientific. Engineers simply snor
at it because the conditions and
which it is made are not under co
trot. They would go at the problel
differently—count the steps, for in
stance, and regulate loads on th
shoes.
With this by way of introduction
you are prepared for the way E. L.
Lawrence of the Bureau of Stand
ards tests shoes. Instead of hiring
people to walk in then], he has built
a machine that does the walking
under control. It is a sort of rim-
less wheel. The spokes are legs that
go round and' round. At the outer
ends of the "legs" are pistons ground
to fit smoothly into cylinders and
provided with adjustable compres-
sion springs. The shoes are fitted
to a flexible rubber "foot" hinged
o the pistons. Thus the mechanical
quivalent of an ankle is produced.
These feet do their walking on a
motor -driven belt. A foot is put
own on the belt heel first. As the
hoe travels along with the belt the
spring is gradually compressed. The
oad thrown on the shoe is at its
aximuln just when the cylinder or
Latest reports record the opera-
tion of a chain of 159 Scout Christ-
mas Toy Repair Shops, stretching
from Sydney in the east to Prince
Rupert in the west. While the chief
distribution of reconditioned play-
things was made in the cities and
towns, many thousands also were
sent children on farms, with' espec-

substantial bulk shipments of re-

As in former years the Girl Guid-
es and Brownies took on the task
of "newing" and dressing the dolls.
Many thousands were distributed lo-
cally or mailed to other less fortun-
ate girls in every part of the Do

The carload quantities of discard-
ed playthings involved were gather-
ed by the Scouts and Guides from
many sources—in many places by
house to house collection. Large
quantities were secured through
public school "toy showers," and
from Saturday morning "toy shop

World Lead Tonnage
Drops 5.7 Per Cent.
OTTAWA,—Refined lead pro-
duction of the world in September
totaled 118,793 tons or 5.7 per cent,
below the tonnage produced in the
preceding month. This falling -off
was due principally to the decline
in the Mexican output; the month's
total was 7,759 tons as compared
with 16,006 in August. Production 1
in the United States during Septem,
ber amounted to 29,358 tons; in
August 30,807 were produced. The
German output increased 12 per
cent. in September to 12,680 tons;
Italy's production advanced 34.0 per
cent. to 4,231 tons, and Australia's
output was up 3.9 nor cent, to 204"

To $40,530,687
OTTAWA—Canada's world leader-
ship in improvement in the con-
struction industry' for the first 10
months of 1935 is reflected in the
total value of buildings authorized
Tor that period, compared with the
corresponding 10 months of last
year. Up to October 31 new con-
struction in the Dominion in 1935
amounted in value to $40,530,687,
against $22,313,170, a gain of close
to 83 per cent,
OTHER ACTIVITIES
IN OTHER lines of industry the
increase was not so spectacular, but
undoubted gains were achieved in
most of them. Canada stood sixth
among the trading nations of the
world in that period. Her imports
and exports had a value of $1,042,-
258,937, compared with $957,308,761
or nearly Mille per cent. greater in
1935 than in 1934. This year the
excess of exports over imports was
$130,684,265, compared with $108,-
352,569 'for the corresponding 10
months of 1924.
Contributing to this favorable posi-
tion in the primary and processing
industries were exports of newsprint
which in that period this year totall-
ed $70,214,700 against $65,859,980.
Exports of nickel rose from 325,505,-
983 to $29,705,583; copper, from
$18,217,638 to, $24,232,129;. auto-

GENEVA,—Canada led the world in
improvement in the building industry
during the first 10 months of 1935, as
compared with the corresponding
period of 1934, according to the
monthly statistical bulletin of the
League of Nations, published recently.
Canada's increase was 83 per cent
Next came Australia, with a 50 per
cent. increase, and the United States
with an increase of 45 per cent. The
United Kingdom's increase was 17

The bulletin showed general im-
provement in other industries as well
as building. Industrial activity in
Canada increased nine per cent. over
the sane 1934 period.
The leading increase was shown by,
Russia, 20 per cent. Italy followed
with 19 per cent. The United King -1

In national currencies the value of i

Early in August the sugar beet

reported in several districts. The
crop was harvested later in Septem-

Low Consumption
Of Cheese In Canada
Branches of the Federal Depart-
ment of Agriculture have unner-
taken a survey to discover the con-
sumption of cheese and milk in Can-
ada.
It is estimated that 70,000,000
pounds of cheese will be produced
in Canada this year, with approxi-
mately a value of $6,825,000.
The per canita consumption of
cheese in Canada is only about one-
third of that in the United Kingdom.
Something ought to be done about
this.
There are two kinds of taste for
cheese in this country. There is the
taste for "green" cheese, and ap-
parently that is not very widely in-
dulged. Then there is the "culti-
vated" taste which goes after cheese
of foreign make for the most part
— Gorgonzola, Roquefort, Camem-
bert. With proper handling and
ripening, our Canadian Cheddar can
he made to gratify this taste. But
the well -ripened Cheddar cheese is
hard to come at, unless the connois-
seur buys a whole cheese and rip-
ens it himself. For this purpose
the small five -pound and ten -pound
Canadian Stilton should he featur-
ed.
Storing Potatoes
When going into storage, potatoes
should be as dry as possible. All dis-
eased or. damaged tubers should be
sorted out. The best storage tem-
perature is from 33 degrees to 35
degrees P. Storing potatoes in the
basement of a dwelling house is not
as a rule, satisfactory owing to the
difficulty of providing proper venti-
lation. Many thousands of bushels
of potatoes are lost each year
through storing in faulty cellars,'
closely constructed bins and where
the temperature is too high.
