Hunting Is An Autumn
Attraction in Canada
in search of the lordly moose and
the nimble deer. The hunting season
in Canada is ushered in early in Sap-
tomber and for several months the
rigid protection provided the feather -
ad and furred denizens of our vast

in Dominion's Recreational
Areas—Open Season Vary.
Within every one of us there is
something which thrills to 'the thought
of a holiday spent in the great open
spaces with the scent of pine and the
freedom from artificialities of mod-
ern life. It is possibly inherited from
our pioneer ancestors, but neverthe-
less the urge to get back to nature for
even a short dole is exceedingly great.
The gratification of such desires is
possible at every season of the year
in Canada. Winter, summer, spring,
and autmnn all provide opportunities-
for
pportunitiesfor the enjoyment of recreative ;port
which in the light of present-day
knowledge is so necessary to the wall -
being of the modern man and woman.
Ab this time of the year when the
'feel of frost is in the air and the
trees are taking on their autumnal
tints, the out-of-doors 'seem to have
an even stronger appeal. To the
sportsman and hunter the sure is com-
pelling and sons of Nimrod in thou-
sands o trekking through the forest
and lakeland areas of the Dominion
In the wilderness areas of Canada
which lie just beyond the settled por-
tions of the provinces, the remnants
of the wild life of the continent have
taken refuge. Wise game laws and
the co-operation of sportsmen and
hunters are helping to conserve our
wild life resources. National parks
and forest reserves, by prdviding
sanctuary for the wild life, are also
aiding in this work, and the future
of hunting in Canada for many years
to come seems assured.
Generally throughout the Domin-
ion,moose, deer, and bear may be
hunted at varying periods between
the first of September and the middle
of December, while open seasons for
caribou occur in Ontario, the Prairie
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta, and British Columbia.
Ducks, geese, rails, brant woodcock,
and Wilson's snipe may be shot with-
in certain periods there being a slight
variation in different parts of the
Dominion. In general wild life mat-
ters are a responsibility of the prov-
inces and the regulation of the taking
of game animals is controlled by
,THE ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR -
MARK.
The earliest known occurrence of
t (• 1101101' -mark ($) in print is in
Chauncey Lee's "American Aecontp-
t(ntt," an arithmetic published in
1797 at Lanslugburg•, New York.
That was pointed out in 1899, says
Prof: Florian Cajori. Mr. Lee did
not invent the sign himself; it has
taken a great deal of research on
Professor Carjori part to learn what
the steps in its evolution were,
Most old documents and books
spell out the names of monetary
units In full. Of nine Spanish ari-
thmetic:: of the seventeenth and ei-
ghteenth centuries, five gave no ab-
breviation for "peso" (also called
"piastre," "peso de 8 reales," "piece
of eight," and "Spanish dollar"). In
some earl,' Spanish books, however,
tl:tere are abbreviations: "pts.,"
"ne.,0 o»." •
It is a remarkable coincidence thqt
the three names by which the Spanish
dollar was known, peso, piastre, and
piece of eight. all began with the
lott.ir p, and all three formed the
plural by the addition of the letter
s. Hence p and ps answered admi-
rably as abbrviations for any of
these names. Alen wrote the p with
a flouaish, and raised the s somewhat
above the p.
The transition from this symbol to
our dollar -stark apparently came
about unconsciously, in the effort to
simplify the complicated motion of
the pen. No manuscript is so con-
vincing on this point as the two con-
temporaneous copies, made by the
same band, of a letter written in 1772
by Oliver Pollock, then "commercial
Lord, Nelson at Halifax Opened
Ib7?
Above, the Lord Nelson viewed as from the Botanic il Gardens. Inset Is a very charming
corner of the lounge, showing the bust of Lord Nelson in the corner, Mo, E. W. Beatty
was the guest of honor on the formal Opening.
E, W. Beatty, chairman and president of the
Canadian Paolfic Railway, in sneaking as guest of
honor at the .banquet which marked the official
opening of the Lord Nelson hotel at Halifax,
referred to the tourist attractions of Nova Scotia
as being second to none on the continent. This
from as well travelled a man as the head of the
World's Greatest Travel System was a decided ap-
preciation. ':In addition to the opportunities for
sport which are 'unsurpassed and attraot tourists
from both the United States and Canada, you have
the historlo associations such its typified by the
Evangeline [legend which the Cahadlan Pacific and
Dominion Atlantic Companies have successfully
preserved and featured, It seems to us only right
that the railway whioh came into existence as o
fulfilment of .one of the 'terms of Confederation
should encourage such travel to your cities and
other historio places," he said. "That travel has
grown apace during the last dew years and it was
because 02 this fact among others that at the soli-
citation of your !business mon we joined with them
in the building of this hotel. It is for the same
reason that we are !building a modern hotel with
other tourist facilities at Digby."
The Lord Nelson Hotel, while operated under the
direction of the 'Canadian Pacific Railway 15 the
result of a sincere effort on the part of .the people
of Halifax who have long been working for a modern
hostelry ..which would adequately take care of the
business which offered in the city. It is situated
in the heart of the city and fronting on the Botanical
('Gardens that have helped to snake this old city
famous.
Within and without, the appearance of the hotel
retleets great oredat on its architects; and builders.
In building and in decoration it is Georgian In
character, and throughout the hotel and particularly
in the public Tooms, a most successful effort has
been made to express • the period recalled by the
historic naine associated with it. Immediately
inside the front doors is a handsome and spacious
lobby, which at once gives the keynote of Georgian
decoration. The hotel offices are here as oleo are
other public services such as elevator lobby, tele-
phone room, cigar 'Shop, etc.
The mezzanine floor and ladies waiting room
leads up from this, and on ono side of the lobby 15
lounge. Ing this rooof m and is n he adjacent taisssemlb,ly
hall the attempt to recapture the atmosphere of
two hundred years ago has bean particularly •suc-
cessful, The obief feature is the fine fireplace over
which is an excellent copy in oils of the full length
portrait of Lord Nelson which was painted shortly
before his death.. In one .corner stands a fine copy
of the woll known bust of this herb, and on the
Vcenterictory." table is a splendid model of his ship "The
The ell; of this room opens into the assembly
hall which is large enough to seat about 250 people
comfortably. At one end is an ample stage with the
usual dressing rooms and disappearing footlights.
Leading from. the other side Of the lobby up a
short flight of marble steps Is a foyer, and beyond
that the mein dining room. On the floor beneath
the lobby are a series of tine shops opening on the
street, and hare also is the spacious grill, which in
keeping with the nautical Devour notabi.e elsewhere
in the building, is teemed "The WAri'd Room",
Its woodwork is of oak and its ceiling crossed by
hewn beams, It Is lit by ships lanterns of brass
and Iby candelabra designed from binnacle lights
andships steering wheels. The furniture also is
of stout oak. Other features of this Boor are a
barber shop, beauty shop and the usual public
services.
The bedroom floors include a number of fine
suites of which the Royal Shite• le an outstanding
example. Like the other its character of deems.,
tion is id keeping with the rest of the. hotel. It
consists of sitting room, dining room and two bed-
rooms, and its furnishings inc,liude some fine exam -
pies of early Georgian. The blAthrooms and general
plumbing and heating arrangements throughout
are up to the most modern standard as also are alt
the faoillties for public service.

INDUSTRY ADVANCES
The clhemical industry in the Uni-
ted States in the past 25 years has
advanced from one of comparative
Importance to that of the largest in
the world, with a production worth
more than $2,000,000,000.
CHATTEL MORTGAGES
In the County of Huron on Dec-
ember 31, 1927, there were 123
chattel mortgagees on record, for a
total amount of $154,750. Bruce
had 188 for a total of $214,380, and
Wellington 177 for a total of $223,•

It is stated that over $1,000,000,-

ONE DAY AHEAD
The use of radio in Raratonga,
one of the Cook Islands,in Polynesia,
has brought about a unglue situation.
At 11. o'clock on Saturday night,
people with radios in Raratonga can
listen to the Sunday evening broad.
casts in New Zealand, 1,800 miles
away. This is clue to the fact that
the Cook slattds lie on the east of
the 180th meridian, at which the
world's day officially begins, while
New "Zealand is to the west of it.
The later is therefore always a day
ahead as regards date.
