and frequently to the European
markets. About 15 years ago he re

HTS YOUNG LADY'S JOB is to “clock”
the telephone service. She sits there with
her decimeter stop watch and measures to
tenths of a second the time taken to complete
a call. Other “dockers” record the errors
made, the speed with which “trouble” is re
paired, ail the items of telephone efficiency.
If speed and efficiency are not constantly on
the climb these are the people who- know it
first and then there is a grand hunt to find out
what’s gone wrong.
It is a good game. It gets results. That is why
your telephone serves you better this year than
it did last year, and next year will serve you
better than now. That is -why it has contribut
ed its share to Canadian progress.
FOR EXAMPLE, seven years ago the aver
age interval from the time you lifted your
telephone receiver until the operator answered
was 5.1 seconds. Today the docker finds the
interval cut to 3.7 seconds. Tomorrow it will
be still less.
Seven years ago there were 95 slow calls in
every 1,000—a slow call being one
the operator takes ten seconds or
answer. Today there are only 33
thousand.
in which
more to
in every
has beenThe number of errors of all kinds
reduced frutn 40 in every 1,000 calls to 16,
which is over ninety-eight per cent perfect.
IVE YEARS AGO you ran 27 chances in
every 1,000 calls of getting the wrong num
ber. That is down now to 13 chances in 1,000,
or nearly 99 times out of the 100 right.
There are only two chances in a thousand now
that you will be cut off. There were five
chances in a thousand, five years ago.
There used to be eight times in a thousand
calls when you would break in on somebody
else’s conversation. Now there arc only two
such double connections per thousand.
There are “clockers” at work in
other directions too and here are some of
the things they have recorded.
The time taken to repair “trouble” on a line
now has been cut to one-third of the time
taken five years ago.
The time taken to install a new telephone used
to be three hours and forty-five minutes. It has
been cut now to one hour and forty-five min
utes. That means something in hours saved,
with 139,000 telephones installed in Ontario
and Quebec this year.
PRETTY GOOD results. But the docker
isn’t satisfied. Nobody in
business is ever satisfied with
today’s mark. The system to
morrow must always be better
to keep pace with the Canada
of tomorrow.

sixty foxes who didn’t wear pantses
and didn't wear r-oxes, but they all
went travelling in nice, big boxes.”
A parody on A. A. Milne’s famous
nurfxwy rhyme is inspired by a
shipmnnt of sixty black and silver
foxes who passed through the Wind
sor Street Station recently en route
to Switzerland from Calgary. They
were “under the wing” of the Can
adian Pacific Express, who saw
that the animals got their diet of

to chase the animal or forgot he
was at the wheel, he does not state,

he and his car were in the ditch.
Little damage was done.
Kicking a Tire is no way to test it!
ONLY a pressure gm.ge cun ever give you a
true indication of inflation.
There is a correct pressure for your tires. It de
pends on the size of the tire and the wheel load.
At tnat pressure your tires will give you maxi
mum mileage. If your tire inflation goes three
pounds below that correct pressure you cut mile
age from the life of your tires.
Use a gauge.
Better still, drop in at a Dominion Tire Depot once a
week and have every tire inspected, and the pressure
checked. Let an expert search for cuts and bruises.
Often a slight repair will prevent a blow-out.

gave a farewell banquet, to Mr. and
Mrs. T. H. McCallum, who leave on
Thursday for London where they
will make their future home. Ad
dresses were given by Messrs. H. E.
Huston, Rd. Gidley and the Rev. E.
G. Powell, and during the course of
the evening they were presented
with two handsome Rattan rockers
and an address read by Mr. B. W. F.
Beavers.
Mrs. O. Cobbledick, who has been
conducting a store at Exeter North,
and who recently sold out, has pur

Mrs. Thos. Harton met with an

and suffering other bruises.

The building of more than 400
miles of new branch lines, with 71
new stations and shipping points
sums up in brief the construction
programme of the Canadian Pacific
Railway in Western Canada during
the past summer, according to D.
C. Coleman, Vice-President, West
ern Lines. By this means hun
dreds of farmers had been brought
much closer to transportation faci
lities, and thousands of acres of
rich agricultural land had been
made much more attractive from
the settlers’ viewpoint.
“I can say, without any hesita
tion. that Canada is the best coun
try in the world for farming at the
present time. It. has greater pos
sibilities, and there are indications
that there is greater stability i*id
prosperity than can be found in
any other country,’* said Dr. E. S.
Archibald, director in charge of the
Dominion Experimental Farm at
Ottawa, addressing the Young Men’s
Canadian Chib in Montreal. Dr.
Archibald said the crops in Can
ada are worth $1,167,000,000, which
alone was equal to the fisheries,
mines and forests all put together.

Will receive more gailte fish than
ever before, was the opinion of J.
A. Robb, superintendent of fish cul
ture of the Department of Marine
and Fisheries, who was a recent
visitor to Calgary. The whitefish
hatchery just opened by the Domin
ion Government in Lesser Slave
Lake, will help t.he commercial fish
eries, he said, while sport in the
neighbourhood of Banff, the Rocky
Mountain resort, will bo greatly
improved by the advanced fry and
fingerling game fish that have been
placed in the streams. The hatch
ery at Banff, he added, will be ex
tended slightly.

he thought you would understand him, but passengers on the Canadian
Pacific World Cruise last year found him very courteous.
, Some time before the globe-trotters met the man with the pudding
basin head-gear they were greeted at the entrance of the famous Stadium
at Athens by the fiery-mustachiv’d guard who looks like Harry Lauder
m a combination of the worst features of the Highland, the Dutch and
the hosiery advertisement national costumes.
But the Japanese practising on the saxophone’s ancestor takes
the cake when it comes to strange head-gear. A pun could be made here
about “wicker” and “wicked-looking,” but let that pass. The dark
representative of the fair sex evidently believes in simplicity of cos
tume—and economy! She has made her “robe de style” serve for her
young son, too, and her head dross! Permanent waves have probably
been amongst the old family secrets handed down from mother to
daughter for centuries in her country.
Taking them altogether they are a fair sample of strange sights to
be viewed on a trip round the world.
