It is also one of the most common. There are Many kinds a fear, Some folks are afraid of the future, others fear the dark, others fear that they might be.. come the vie -thee of disease, others fear the company of their fellows, while there are still others who fear themselves, The last mentioned are generally afraid of being alone, They [like to have someone beside them all 'the time and they only feel sale when there are other people around. Mrs. George 13. is such aperson. When she is in the company of others she is perfectly all right, but when- ever she is left alone for a time she begins to Imagine that something is going to happen and her .nerve gives • ,away. This is a common complaint. great many letters come to my desk particularly from women who dere in or around • the forties, which voice the same complaint. Of course it is easy to say "Don't be afraid" or "There is nothing of which you need to be afraid." That, however, does not help the sufferer. Usually the trouble lies deeper and it is necessary to get at the cause of the fear and remove that before we can hope to effect a cure. To do that It is often necessary to probe deeply Into the past life. Indeed, very often one finds that the cause of fear lies away back in some early experience of childhood. In the absence of de- tail it is almost impossible to say just exactly what the cause is. I would like to ask my correspondent to go back over her life as well as she can and try to recall any experiences that might possibly have created in her the fear of being alone. When she discovers any such experience she will probably find if she tries to examine it in the light of cold reason that, while 'at the time it :seemed a dreadful thing, it now seems trifling and foolish and that really, after all, I there is nothing to fear. The only way to control the mind. is to practice controlling it. Determine ;that you are not going to let your mind dwell on anything that is likely to be mentally disturbing. Lift your (thoughts above yourself and, when 1you are. alone, busy yourself with !some kind of work in which you are 'deeply interested. Read a book—not joie of the modern thrillers, but a Ibook that is mentally stimulating and that will command your atten- • ;tion. You might even have one or two of •the many fascinating puzzles .'that are going the rounds nowadays and give yourself to the solving of !one of these to while away your lone- ly hours. If you have much spare time on your hands, why not interest '• yourself in some kind of philanthro- pic or charitable work? There is noth- ' fog like doing something for others to take your mind off yourself. Try it, for it is true that we only "find" life by °losing" it in service for • others.

Canada's Prairie Provinces Ottawa, Canada—Great';•'^. progress in agricultural development has been witnessed in the Prairie Prov- inces of Canada during the last 35 years. During the years 1901 to 1931 the area of occupied farm in the prairie region increased from 15 million acres to 110 million acres, or more than sevenfold. In 1901 the Prairie Provinces contained 24.3 per cent of the total occupied farm acreage in the Dominion and by 1931 this acreage had increased to 67.3 per cent. of the total. In the same period the improved farm acreage increased from 18,5 per cent. to 69.8 per cent. and the field crop acreage from 18.2 per cent. to 69.1 per cent. The decade 1901 to 1911 witnessed the greatest expan- sion, due to the rush of homestead- ers into Saskatchewan and Alberta. Occupied farm land increased from 15 million acres to over, 57 million acres. Of the improved land in the Prairie Provinces in 1931, 67 per cent. was in field crops. Farming in the Prairie Provinces comprises four more -or -less distinct types—wheat growing, mixed farm- ing, dairying (usually associated with mixed farming), and ranching. Wheat growing predominates in southwestern and central Alberta, throughout the whole of Saskat- chewan except the northern and eastern fringe and the dry belt, and in southern Manitoba, although in the latter area, the proportion of other cereals and forage crops is growing rapidly. Mixed farming is found in northern and western Al- berta and in the northern and east- ern parts of both Saskatchewan and Manitoba—in other words over pra- ctically the whole of the park belt, Mixed farming is also the dominant type in the irrigated districts. The greatest development in dairying has occurred in eastern Manitoba, north- eastern Saskatchewan and north- western Alberta, Ranching is practi- , and the whole province is ideal for guerrilla warfare of the savage and merciless type that the Spanish peas- antry' employed with such deadly ef- fect against the French invaders in the Peninsular War. And if the Abys- sinians can be persuaded by their shrewd military adviser, General Virgin, of the Swedish Army, to adopt this form of tactics, Italy's task will be impossible. • Everywhere, with one immensely important exception, Mr. Farago This was dispatched to Abyssinia by Found corruption, laziness, crafty special courier, 'with the instruction Writes the Manchester Guardian: —"Some time in the eighties a Mr. Gouraut, agent of the Edison -Bell Company, introduced the first phono- graph into England. Queen Victoria consented to allow her voice to be recorded, and chose for the subject of her speech a message of goodwill to the Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia. stupidity, obstruction, ignorance and delay. The exception was the Emper- or himself, Haile Selassie, King of Kings, Lion of Judah. He is cultured and enlightened, the personification of the modern Abyssinia that he is guying, against almost overwhelm- ing odds, to create. He is unique. And he is desperately, and tragically, alone. Nothing can happen without the Emperor. Everything must be planned, organized, and carried out by him. Amidst the thousands of screaming beggars, servants, parasites, soldiers, and lazy ministers, amidst decaying buildings and gorgeous gilded halls, the Emperor of Abyssinia leads a lone- ly life. He is the most hard-working citizen in the country, rising at 4 a.m. and receiving the first interview- ers of the day an hour later. And he has several powerful ene- mies. The first of these is the Force of Tradition which, in every country and in every century, is a deadweight of inertia. There are always diehards who believe that what was good enough for their fathers will be good 'enough for their children. There is a'`strengConse :native wing among the lesser Abyssinian chiefs who regard. the Emperor, with his new-fangled ideas and his dangerous desire to abolish slavery, as a sort of home- grown Bolshevik. Then there is the Church. And as if that was not enough for any man to face, a new enemy is massing all the blessings of civiliza- tion—bombs, gases, tanks, chemicals, and shells—upon his frontiers. Mr. Farago in sizing up the chances of the two armies has some very clear cut views: ItaIy's capacity to defeat the Abys- sinians is aided by the lack of rifles and ammunition at the disposal of the Negus and the appalling difficult- ies of transportation owing to the al.. most complete absence of roads. There are also a number of chieftains who will undoubtedly go over to Italy, leaders of tribes which are not, strict- ly speaking, Abyssinian at all. Again the Emperor has no medical equip_ anent and no doctors. "We are all going out to die," said a cultured Abyssinian to Mr. Farago. On the other side of the picture are some of the difficulties which the Italians will encounter. Grim, water- less places. Mr. Farago took a trip to see these two provinces for him- self and here is his description: "Ogaden looks as if it had already been rent by war. There are deep ruptures n the ground that look like natural trenches, but are only the result of the perpetual drought . Sand desert follows on stony desert, bush on steppeland ... in these piti- less surroundings live fierce men and wild beasts. There is ample opportunity for am- bush among the rocks and cactus dally confined to the dry area in southwestern Saskatchewan a n d southeastern Alberta and to a strip of land extending from the inter- national boundary northward along the foothills to beyond Calgary. • All MAG.1tNETQs Makes Sold and Repaired Generator Exchange Service THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FELLOW.

A few days ago a record of th message was discovered in the stor rooms of the company in London. was covered with fungus, and so f only the words "the goodwill of m people" can be heard. It is hope however, that by a careful system cleaning and electrical amplificatio the whole message will be audihl If this is achieved the sound will the be transferred from its old-fashione cylinder to a modern disc record. An official of the Edison -Bell Com pany said last week: "Three cylin ders df every speech were alwa made on the old phonographs, an we thought that all three of Quee Victoria's message had been destroy ed. However, one has been found presumably the one which Gourau kept in his possession, since all trac es of the one sent to Abyssinia an Queen Victoria's copy have been lost We are waiting now to hear what th whole message reveals. We canno say whether the record will be sol to the public, in view of the Queen' command that it shouldebe destroy ed when the Emperor had; heard it.' There could not be a more appro priate moment than the present to hear an English Sovereign's messageto .Abyssinia. In the same old record -box in which Queen 'Victoria's record lay records of the voices of Florence Nightingale, Disraeli, and Gladstone Lave also been found. Florence Nightingale is speaking on nursing and on cancer. It is recorded in the official doan- ments of the Edison -Bell Company that Mr. Gouraut introduced the phonograph at a dinner in London at which many celebrites were pres- ent. Among others, Gladstone and Disraeli were asked to record their voices. Disraeli spoke of "the possi- bilities of this marvellous speech - carrier," but Gladstone was so elo- quent in his prefactory remarks that before he had begun his set speech for recording the cylinder on the phonograph was seen to be finished. Mr. Gouraut, however, was not put off by this, and called on him the next morning. He found him in bed, whence Gladstone recorded a message of thanks to Mr. Edison -Bell for enab- ling him to record °the relic of an organ the employment of which has been overstrained," Records have also been discov- ered of the 'voices of General Booth and Lord Rosebery, although it is not yet known that these are in good enough condition for amplify- ing and recording. The company hope that they may find other records made late last century, as there are still parts of their storerooms unexplored. it is e_ It ar y d, of n e. n d ys d' n t d e a s It is not fit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any till they are first proved and found fit for the business they are to be entrusted with. — Mathew Henry.

C nada's Fisheries . s w hnpro t, - •i, ; ens OTTAWA, Canada. In common.' with others, Canada's extensive fish. iiig industry suffered as a result of the recent world-wide trade reces.. sion, but statistics for 1934 indicate that the tide had turned and some betterment was under way. Person employed in the fishing industry in 1934 numbered 33,396 compared with 79,548 in 1933 a gain of 5 per cent. Capital investment in plant, gear, and equipment in use in the industry rose from $40,914,057 to $43,377,531, an in- crease 61 6 per cent. Marketed value of the production from inland fish.. eries showed an increase of about 18 per cent., amounting to $4,780,585 compared with $4,063,358 in 1933. Marketed value of the sea fisheries production was 26 per cent more than in 1933, amounting to $29,341,386 com- pared with $23,433,588. The biggest single gain in market- ed value in 1934 was $3,166,600, re- corded by the salmon fishery. Most of this gain, or $2,998,000 was account.. for by the increased output of can- ned salmon in British Columbia. The cod fishery, mainly an Atlantic coast fishery, contributed an additional $728,800 to the marketed value. Lob.. sters accounted for an extra "$`45,. 400 and the returns from British Columbia's pilchard industry were greater by nearly $472,500. Many other varieties in both sea and in- land fisheries also made substantial gains in marketed values. Veteran Tram Driver Says Women Are Bad Pedestrians Halifax—After watching traffic from street car cabs for 42 years. grey-haired Thomas McLaughlin has come to the conclusion that women make worse pedestrians and auto- mobile drivers than hien. "The men are better drivers," he says. "A woman gets all muddled up when anything goes wrong." About women pedestrians: "They will go across the street re- gardless. Men are more cautious. The women seen: more independent. But, of course, children take the cake. You have to watch for thein every minute." The veteran tram driver should know. Since 1893 he has travelled 2,2500,000 miles to nowhere in parti- cular, averaging around 150 miles a day. He does considerably less than that now on Route No. 2 here -82.72 miles a day.
