" Would Use Army CAL Montreal recently the Canadian |. Pacific Railway marked anew the| 60th anniversary of its first trans- continental train by taking over from the Montreal Locomotive Company the first of five new semi-streamlined ~ engi.es, observes. The Toronto Mail and Empire. This ultra-modern loco- motive is graceful in design, light in weight and capable .of running 110 miles ar hour, It will pullia com- pletely new 'type of train, light<in weight, and of a semi-streamlined character, the coaches for which are under construction; In handing over the engine, Mr, William C. Dickerman, as president of the Montreal Locomotive Company, enumerated several features of the new type locomotive, appropriately named the Jubilee and numbered "3000." . It is designed for ultra high speeds at the head of a new de luxe lightweight train, designed to lure the public back to the railway as a means of travel. Stéam is adhered to as the motive power because, after much re- search in Europe and America, it is known to possess marked advantages over electrcity, and because the re- "quired horsepower can be. generated at a quarter of an eighth the initial investment of any alternative. Steam is cheaper and more flexible in opera- tion, 7 : In accepting the engine from the locomotive "company, Sir Edward Beatty, as president of the C.P.R., in- timated that the occasion marks the beginning of a new era in the Cana- dian transportation field. He com- mented upon, the elimination of the exterior piping and protuberances which characterize today's locomo- tives in order to obtain a beautiful smooth exterior. He said that the Jubilee type of engine, and _the light trains which they will draw, will pro- vide incregsed comfort without any sacrifice of safety for passengers. Sir Edward properly complimented the Canadian industrialists and 'arti- sans who have been capable of pro- ducing this super-locamotive, and in thus helping to inaugurate a consider- able step toward the recovery of pros- perity for Canadian railroading. The C.P.R., one of the greatest transpor- tation 'organizations in the world, whose operations link the continents of Europe, America and Asia, is 'again Proving its ability to keep abreast of the times. - Panic Than of Serious Blaze -- Fire-Proofed Wood. TORONTO=--Fire chiefs of all parts of Ameriga, as represented in the G4th annual convention here recently, went on record as disapproving of smok- The president, who Limsel: spoke in favor of the motion, agreea that the danger seem- ed to be less from. fire than from somebody calling "fire," and causing a panic when the end of a match broke Where there was any danger of panic, fire chiefs could take only one attitude, he said. Their motion re- ferred to the - uditoriums themselves, not to lobbies. Wood so treated as to be combustible was more non- effective in holding back a fire than steel, itl: was contended by E. F, Hartmann, president of the Protexol Corporation. Wood was not: a conductcr. Firemen might cut a hole in a door of fire- resisting wood and work through it at a fire of intense heat in the next "room, since the wood would protect them from tlie heat. This could: not 'he done with a metal door. The speaker said the wiring of the "Queen - Mary" was. encased in non-combusti- ble wood. - : The convention approved fire resisting - wood which is now just about double the cost of ordinary wood." It was expected however, Mr. Hartmann said, that .it would soon coms within the reach of domestic - Routine Foi "Pep" LONDON, ONT., -- A schedule ot good old army routine might pep up a large number of the unemployed in their efforts to find work, is the op- infon of Col. W. J.

(Rates have been ratsed to five shillings to northern Spanish ports-and seven shillings six pence to other ports and Spanish Morocco. A minimum rate of '156 shillings for in. terior destinations was set). Life In The Country Writes the Welland Tribune--Peo- ple who live in rural districts where there are rugged hills, evergreen forests and rigorous winters such as ave prevalent in the greater part of Canada may console themselves with the assurance that they are amid conditions that promote long life. The census bureau of the United States 'has compiled statistics which~ show that Vermont leads all the states in the percentage of people who"live to or beyond 65 years. It is presumed that the mountainous\landscape, the presence of fir trees, deep snows in winter characteristic of Vermont, are the factors underlying its advantages.

It is 984 feet high. Costing over $1,000,000, the iron lattice work of which it is chiefly constructed weighs 7,000 tons. When 'the wind blows the tower swings horizontally in the breeze several inches, and a few hou.. before a storm it is said to sink or shrink over an inch. The- Eiffel Tower stands upon four great uprights, rising from the cor- ners of a square which covers about two and one-half acres. Each upright rests on a high concrete pier, sunk deep into the earth and around which is a wall 86 feet square and 80 feet high, These piers are also connected with each other by high arches. Curv- ing majestically inward, the four hcolumns- or uprights meet as one shaft 620 feet above ground. There are three platforms, one 189 feet high, with a 38,000-foot area; the second platform is 380 feet above ground, with an area of 288 square feet; the third, from which a magni- ficent view of the city can be ob- tained, is 900 feet from the ground and -capable of holding 800 people. Above this is a spiral staircase which ascends to the top of the tower. The Tower was designed by and constructed under the direction of Alexander Gustave Eiffel, a famous French engineer. Sees Serip As A Business N pur | Aberhart ,Holds $5,000 Can Provide Turnover of $40,000 LACOMBE, Alta. -- Circulation of of $5,000 in stamped scrip in the pro- vince would produce from $40,000 to $50,000 in business in one year, Premier Aberhart told an audience here recently. The premier placed Alberta's debts, including provincial, municipal and private obligations, at $611,000,000. He said he decided no. more money must be borrowed. Though provin- cial- interest rates had been reduced, Alberta bonds would be gilt-edged, hg. predicted, when the province had be- co industrialized. 1e province plans almost immed- ate issues of $250,000 in certificates to be used as a medium of exchange. Holders must affix one-per cent. stamp cach week and the scrip will be redeemed after two years. Mr. Aberhart's reference to inter- est cuts was to the 50 per cent de- crease in interest rates on the entire provincial debt last June 1. Taking A Chance . One should never attempt to handle a bull on a halter, When there {s only a strap or a length. of rope between a bull and oneself the animal has all the best of it. On the other hand, the most vicious bull may be handled safely and controlled without difticul- ty through the use of a bull-staff, This bit of herd equipment which costs life from being sacrificed, In the case of bulls that have always kept the peace it is considered too much effort to use the bull-staff. This is the start of trouble for which the "gentle bull" usually {8 blamed but for which he is not quite so responsible as are Lhose who take a chance. Most botan:sts believe the original color of flowers was green. Primeval types are green even to this day. ITCHING YORTURR STOPPED / y ulck relief ht itching re cools eczema, A sf Dr. .

' Such an export movement shows an increase of -about 84,000,000 bushels over that of the previous year and the carry-over will be reduced by a simi- lar amount.

Considering the destination of the 84,000,000-bushel increase-in Canadian exports during the crop year 1935-36 over the previous crop year, the re- 'port said it mag-be cr lated that roughly 30,000,000 bushels more have gone to the United Kingdom, about 24,000,000 more to the United States and the remaining 30,000,000 to con- tinental European countries.

NEW YORK--Velvet plays a lead- ing role in Manhattan's promenade of 1936 fall fashions. It ranks with feather-light wools and dull-finished, rich-toned silks as a favorite autumn fabric in the de- sign salons, --- Pretty models swirl in black velvet cocktaii suits with long skirts, full-skirted velvet evening gowns, and long-sleeved black velvet dinner gowns having insets of white lace at the squared shoulder. One stylist garbs a fall bride in a Florentine gown of white velvet, with low square neck and long puffed sleeves, and attires the brides- maids in period gowns of heavy purple velvet. There are many simple, long- sleeved black daytime frocks with small waists, flaring skirts and a touch of bright trimming --a bit of pastel velvet, wool embroidery, or one flat flower, made of coral beads. The other street styles favored are the tunic dress -- the tunic usually gay plaid, and full in front, over a plain skirt--and the two-piece dress with a short, straight jacket... A beautiful shade of tawny rust stands out in the collections, but black is. the leading color, followed by the wine reds, greens and browns.

To signalize remarkable results obtained, an exhibition of these films was given at Harlesden Library be- fore the Education and Juvenile Em- ployment Committees. Three were chosen, one from each of the stakes of the work. ~The first , showed printing and bookbinding. The second film show- ed how the young workers could make use of continued education to get higher wages and make new openings for themselves, The third just completed, went a step further, rounding out the work of preparing the children for life by illustrating personal care, cleanliness and healthy recreation. One episode in this film was the tale of the lazy boy and the care- less girl who neglected their personal appearance.

' A Missing Princess A citizen of St. Louis, Missouri, a dog fancier, on a recent trip to Ireland purchased a beautiful Kerry Blue terrier, "Princess Thora' by name. On the way up the St. Lawrence the Princess was reported missing. Some of the passengers had a vague impression of seeing a bobbing head that looked like a dog making its way through rough water towards the. south shore. On reaching Montreal the St. Louis man made every eftort through advertising to locate the dog but had to return home without any trace of the missing: Princess. As a sort of forlorn hope he communicated with the telephone: headquarters in Montreal. Word was sent to all south 'shore telephone offices. A telephone operator at Deschaillon remembered that two men had come ashore with a dog which they assumed had jumped overboard from a passing steamer, The description fitted the dog and in due time the Princess Thora reached her owner in St. stop-over, wa ouis none the worse for hee A This was a case in which no other agency but the tele- phone could have met the situation, aS ra en in Ca
