LOOK OUT FOR RUSTY RIMS. SIDEHILL DRIVEWAYS. Homes located on slopes often com- pel the construction of the automobile drive under favorable circumstances. Where the soil is of a shifting nature gradual settlement of the ground to a lower point makes construction doubly difficult. Joints open and, once open, are hard to close.

The development of many of the na- tural resources of Canada is entirely dependent upon the ability of the en- gineering profession. This is particu- larly the case with our mineral re- sources. Such problems as the ex- traction of a few ounces of gold from a ton of quartz, the sub -division of the metallic contents• of the cobalt -silver ores, the separation of the sulphide ores of Northern Manitoba or the utilization of the many metallic and non-metallic minerals of Saskatche- wan and Alberta are in the hands of chemical and metallurgical engineers for soultion. The same eonditlion applies, to the development of agriculture, says the Natural Resources Intelligens* Ser. 1400 of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. • Chemical engineering has H.M.
