NEW BELLS ARRIVE
Five tons of bells arrived in Lon
don last week, destined shortly to
ring out sacred tunes from the tow
er of /St. Paul’s Cathedral and chime
each quarter-hour over the city.
With the new bells has come ap
paratus that will permit an addi
tional 10 hymns to be played by
mechanical means.
It will be a two weeks’ job to
hoist the mighty be’.ls to the top of
the cathedral tower. The greatest
of them weighs more than a ton.
weights range from 2,548 pound's,
down to the smallest, a veritable
dwarf in cmparison, -only 294
pounds.
When the new chimes first sound
out over the city, it will be the
same metal vibrating in the tower
| top that has given downtown Lon
don the quarter-hour for 35 years.
The new bells were cast out of the
metal that comprised the original
ones. But instead of 10, there are
now 11 of them,
It was a journey twice across the
Atlantic ocean for the bells to be
recast. The work1 'was done in
Croydon, England. It was paid for
with an anonymous donation by a
member of the cathedral congrega
tion. »
The new hymns which may be play
ed by mechanical means are; O,
Come All Ye Faithful; Christ, the
Lord is Risen; And Now, O Father,
When On iMy Day of Life; Holy,
Holy, Holy; Nearer My God To
Thee; There Is A Green Hill; Abide
With Me; Ten Thousand Times Ten
Thousand and Hark,, Hark, My
iSoul.
DIONNE SISTERS AMAZED AT
UNBREAKABLE DISHES
PROVIDED BY THRIFTY
DOCTOR
■Callander, Ont.—Yvonne Dionne,
one of the sisters you’ve beard so
much about, sat down to her break
fast one morning recently and found
the cereal, fruit and milk she pol
ishes off to start each reposing in
new dishes.
Yvonne—with her. sisters a year
and a half old—noticed the change
and started the procedure the quin
tuplets have agreed upon among
themselves to initiate new dishes.
She grasped a silver spoon in her
right hand and brought it down
sharply on the edge of the cereal
bowl.
Nothing happened so Yvonne lost
the little patience one can expect in
an PS-months-old quint and drop
ped the whole business on the nurs
ery floor. .Strangely, the deshes did
not break. Wide-eyed, Yvonne looked
up at Dr. Allen .Roy Dafoe and her
nurses who laughed somewhat
sheepishly at the first trick they
have played on Yvonne and her sis
ters.
An Innovation
The dishes—like all others in the
quintuplet home now, is unbreak
able, an innovation Dr. Dafoe
thought necessary to keep the in
come the youngsters get from mov
ies, newspaper photographs and en
dorsements .. from being dissipated
in the crash of crockery on the
nursery floor.
It all started a couple of months
ago when one of Yvonne’s sisters
tossed a building block through a
plate glass1 window, that gave the
Dionne sisters their first taste of
excitement. After the building
blocks were gently stored out of
sight, Yvonne and her sisters tried
out various alternatives hut never
really got the’ same success as they
did with1 the dishes.
Lilted Noise
First the glass tumblers went. It
really was an accident to start with.
Annette dropped a glass and there
was a crash. Yvonne, Cecile, Emilie
and Marie liked the noise and toss
ed their to the floor. Then they
began on the crockery.
Modest about himself, the Callan-
dei’ physician rarely brags about his
babies. But .he said: “They are the
nearest thing to perfect youngsters
anyone could hope to see.”
That’s probably the broadest
statement he has ever made about .
them. For months after they were
born, May 28, 1934, he was cautious
with his statements about their
health. They were either 'doing nice
ly” or “keeping away from illness.”
Now that, he admits they are nearly
perfect the world can be satisfied
they are something more than that./
BANK OF MONTREAL SHOWS
GAIN OF 15 MILLIONS IN
DEPOSITS
Total Assets increase to $792,772.-
872—Liquid Assets' at $533,374,-
811 Are Equal to 74,48 Per Cent,
of Total Liabilities to the Public.
The confidence reposed by the pub
lic at large in the Bank of Montreal
is exemplified in an extraordinary
degree in the bank’s annual state
ment for the year ending Octok CP
31st, just published. This shows de
posits of $6716,944,866, compared
with $630,218,835, at th'e same date
last year,, an increase of $46,000,-
000. This increase and a concur
rent increase of $43,800,000 in Go
vernment and other highgrade se
curities constitute the outstanding
features of1 the statement. ♦
Liquid Assets have increased to
$533,374,811, and are equivalent to
74.48 pen cent, of all Liabilities to
the public. Cash in vaults and money
on deposit with Bank of 'Canada
stand at $82,711,635, equivalent to
$11J515 per cent, of public liabilities.
Holdings of government and other
bonds and debentures amount to
$361,7 69,'848, as compared with
$317,936,912 a year ago, an increase
of oven $43,000,000. In keeping
with tihe Bank’s policy, the greater
portion consists of gilt-edge securi
ties which mature at early dates.
The immediately available cash is
represented by cash on hand and
money on deposit with the Bank of
Canada of $82,711,635; notes of
and cheques on other banks $27,-
614,F96, and money on deposit with
other banks of $37,76'4,631.
•Call loans outside of Canada now
stand at $18,835,238, down from
$3'2,13'3,844. The decline may be at
tributed1 to the unusually low inter
est rates that 'have prevailed in the
principal money markets of the
world. At the same time call loans
in Canada have declined to $4,435,-
73|& from $8,399,6'57.
Current; Loans Lower
While there have been reports of
gains in many lines of business,
current loans have not shown a
tendency to increase, with the re
sult that loans to manufacturers,
farmers and merchants now
stand at $234,461,311, down from
$243,477,041. This wuld appear to
indicate that many customers have
been able to finance the present in
crease in business from their own
resources.
Of special intei-et is the continued
tendency of deposits to expand
throughout the countiy, and, as a
result, total deposits have now gain
ed to $'676,944,866 from $630,2118,-
835 a year ago.
An informative feature of the re
port is contained in the section
where the Bank shows that it has
total assets of $-792,772,872 with
■which to meet payment uf liabili
ties of $716,107,779, leaving an ex
cess of assets over liabilities to the
public of $76,66'5,093.

earnings slightly down from the
previous year. It also indicates
that the Bank’s taxes to Dominion
and Provincial Governments are in
excess of $1,000,000.
Profit for the year amounted to
$■4,007,302, against $4,105,024 in
the previous year. From the profit,
taxes to Dominion and Provincial
Governments required $1,002,089,
leaving for> destriibution $3,005,212.
Of this amount dividends to share
holders took $2,880,000 leaving an
amount to be carried forward of
$125,212. The net profits of $3,-
005,212 were equal to 3.92 per cent,
of capital, surplus and undivided
profits. After provision for taxes
and dividends, fchie balance brought
forward" increased the balance of
profit and loss carried forward to
$1,935,033.

That Stab-Like Pain
In the Small of the Baek
Those sharp pains, those quick twinges, those dull,
aching pains are a warning your kidneys are weak
and sick—a warning that should not go unheeded.
Do not delay when your back starts to ache and
pain. Prompt action may save you years of suffer
ing from kidney trouble if you will only put your
kidneys right and keep them right by using Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
Others have, no doubt, been saved from years of
kidney misery by their use. Why not you?
