This question is easily answered and the two following paragraphs will illustrate the reason. Boy Scouts own no superiority of Race or Creed, Color or 'Tongue.

The above paragraph was taken from an English newspaper published in February and would seem to indi- cate that there aae greater difficulties the Old Country than we in Canada appreciate. However, we know that the Scouts will do their best to help lighten the burden, and in this matter the Lone Scouts can help considerably right here in Ontario. "Lone E" was visited a few days ago by a business mat from Vienna, Austria, who in the course of conver- sation, stated that after a tour of the United States and Canada he found that the most advertised word on this side of the Atlantic is "Depression."

But science was not satisfied to let the question rest. On the face of it, an organ that is not diseased, but has been merely weakened by loss of blood should be restored to health, as naturally as hunger is appeased by food. Clearly, the fault must lie in the blood used.

New World Power By W. W. McLaren, Professor of Economics at Williams College, in Collaboration with J. J. Gibson. Though still nominally a constitu- tional dependency, the Dominion of Canada du -ring the past decacie has achieved political and economic inde- pendence. She has taken her place among the select few of the money- lending nations of the world. Between 1921 and 1928, Canada produced wealth at a rate which permitted the net export of approximately $800,000,- 000, Especially significant is the fact that her secondary production, whith consists largely of manufactures, ha% more than kept pace with her primary production, which is divided between agriculture, forestry and mining. Can- ada has been for many years one of the important primary producers of the world; the recent temendous in- crease in the value of her manufac- tures has raised her from obscurity in 1914 to fifth place, in 1928, among the manufacturing nations.

Canada's enormous potential production of hydro -electric energy is important also, and is attracting to the Domin- ion certain industries, such as the Aluminum Corporation, which require great quantities of cheap power.
