Halifax, NS. --The threc-masted British schooner Rose Anne Belliveau smashed all records for a sailing ves- sel on her passage from Belliveau e, Nova Scotia, by completing the run (of 210 miles) to Boston Light- ship in twenty-four hours. The vessel not only made the fastest run ever known for a schooner to Boston but also established a new record to Nova Scotia and return the round trip, in- cluding the time occupied in loading 260,000 feet of lumber, occupying only seventeen days.

Vancouver, B.C.--Further innova. tions in extending the exports of the Pacific port ave reported. The experi- ment of sending frozen fish to New York, via the Panama Canal, was suc- cessful in every respect and a second ship has left with a fumther consign- ment of 860 tons for the same market. For the first time British Columbia lead and spelter has been, shipped from the Port of Vancouver to Europe via the Panama, and large quantities will in future go forward to Belgium and the United Kingdom. Agriculture Revoluti by Use of Radio A despatch from Washing- ton says;--Mechanical plows controlled with invisible reins from a radio tower may be ex- pected to revolutionize agri- culture of the future. This is one of the next practical steps in the use of radio dynamics seen by John Hays Hammond, Jr. "Work which now takes weeks can be done in days," he says. Noted son of a noted father, Hammond is the inventor of radio control. of torpedoes, ships, airplanes and automo- , and more recently of a method of sending radio mes- sages privately, several. o them over the same wave length. Old Age and and Retifoment. It used to be .regarded as appro- priate for a successful man to retire from active life soon after he had passed the age of sixty. Retirement was in fact the goal to which a" man looked forward; yet. often it meant abandoning the interests of his life and vegetating in dull indolence. Eld~ erly men with nothing to do not only were not Wappy in their leisure but usually did not' live long to chafe under it. There was no general ac- ceptance of what seems to be the fact --that the human organism, like a ma-! chine, rusts out when it is condemned to disuse. Nowadays, although a great many, ly men have the purpose to retire from active business when they have ac- cumulated a sufficient fortune, it is seldom with the ofpl-fashioned desire! to give up work: It is nearly always with an intention to turn their energy to work of another kind. ; | This amount is a little more than half {the most careful and rig and this statement the Report proves!Branch of the Department of Interior, Wagon house.

They like travel as a recreation, but as an -occupation it satisfies old age no more than it satis- fies youth. Mental activity and longevity seem to be in some way allied. The man who keeps mentally alert is likely to outlive the man who grows mentally: sluggish. A person who after passing middle age does not fight hard against the tendency to "die at the top" has no very stromg grip on life anyway. --Youth's Companion. RE University Expenditure. A bulletin recently issued by the Alumni Federation of the University of Toronto gives some facts which are of interest to the people of Ontario. In this bulletin it is pointed out that, unfortunately, opinions are rather too frequently stated as if they were facts, especially when the work of a great provincial institution of higher learn- ing -is under review. For example; the nt of the 1 diture the Provicial University is often greatly exaggerated; the exact figures for the year 1920-21 are $1,987,516. the amount of the average expendi- ture on universities in the United States of about similar size.. It is also, pointed out that the present ex- penditure shows only a natural and gradual increase during the past twenty years or so when it is remem- bered that ~ during that period of years the University" has more than doubled in size, that new faculties and departments have been added in order to meet the needs that have arisen on account of the development of the GENOA CONFERENCE SE NRA ~ ANOTHER EUROPEAN WAR. British Premier Claims That Foundation is Laid for Agree- ment of Powers With Russia. A despatch from London says:-- The Genoa parley prevented another European war and laid the foundation for an agreement of the powers with Russia. These were the results claim- ed for the conference by Premier Lloyd George in his speech in the House of Commons on Thursday night, when he reviewed the work of the Genoa meeting. The Premier's address was a matter of fact statement and devoid of startl- ing revelations. Much interest was lost in it when the Premier announced | and render her perfectly impotent, but that he was reserving amy statement on relations with France and on the subject of German reparations until; a later occasion. Lloyd George insisted that when the conference was opened Europe was threatenpd with a real war dan- ger. He stated that the Red army now numbers 450,000 men, and that since the beginning of the year there has been a considerable increase in the forces massed on the Polish and Bessarabian frontiers. "That is why we concluded the truce thirty-four nations have solemnly undertaken not to be guilty whereby of any act of ion against their neighbors," said the Premier. "We hope it will prove to be a permanent peace pact." Defending the British proposals for recognition of the Soviets, he em- phasized the danger of leaving Rus- sia to her fate, and described the Russo-German pact as one of the sin- ister possibilities. "The treaty between Germany and Russia is a portent," the Premier declared. "You can disarm Germany you cammot prevent the rearming of { Russia if these nations are driven to despair, "Germany - cannot 2p-cavp econ- omically because she canmot get the .capital, but that is not the case wah armaments, where one country has every ratural resource and the other every technical skill." The Premier regretted that the Rus- sian delegates took the attitude they did, while under the Bolshevik rule thousands of their people are dying of pestilence and famine. He said he hoped for furthef gcodwill and co- operation at The Hague. Canada's Coal Supply Inconveniently Placed The coal situation, as it pertains to the fuel supply of Canada, is one of our most interesting problems. sessing as we do, tremendous reserves of coal, estimated at 1,284,269 million bong, some of which is semi-anthracite, but: much the greater portion is bitu- minous, sub-bituminous or lignitic, the coal fields are so located as to be a considerable distance from the lazger markets. This of necessity, places the central portion of Canada, particular- ly the province of Ontario and the western portion of the province of Quebec, within the zone of supply from United States coal fields. Not- withstanding that a total of 14,727 « 044 tons of coal was mined in Canada in 1921, there was 18,102,620 tonsim- ported, of which 4,666,370 tons was anthracite and 18,686,250 tons bitu- province . as a whole, that a very 't diversified and modern type of educa- | tion is now offered, and that the pur-, chasing power of he dollar has great-' decreased.
