Taking a survey over the last guinquennium it is noticeable that for the first third of the year_ imports generally have, steadily increased while exports have increased onthe whole but with some interruption. There have been' steady. increases in imporfs from the United States and from empire countries, but the in- crease has not been steady in im- ports from . the United Kingdom, while "imports" from foreign countries other 'than the United States have declinéd' Exports to the United Sta- tes have increased steadily; exports to the United Kingdom' are lower this year than in 1925, while exports to other empire countries and. to for- eign countries other thin the United States have shown an upward move- ment on the whole, although at times it has been interrupted. ; Exports to' foreign countries other than 'the' United* States for the 'first four months of the present year show an increase of over 20 per cent., above last year, while imports from these countries show a slight falling off as between the same two periods. The exports' to foreign countries than the United States for lie four months of the present iyear were val- ued at $104,203,000, as compared with $84,560,000 last year. For the four months of 1925 these exports were only $58,806,000, Imports from foreign coun'ries other than the United Sta- tes during the four months of this year were. $37,795,000, as against' $38,- 424,000 last year, while in 1925 the corresponding figure was $27,706,000.

The scheme involved the demoli- tion of 151 houses and the displace- ment of 885 persons, 250 of whom had to be re-housed on the area. Housing accommodation for 635 persons has been provided by the Corporation at its own expense by the erection of a block of dwellings known as Windsor House in Wen- lock road and Shepherdess Walk, and to meet the need of re-housing the 250 persons on the area, it was decided, with the approval of the Ministry of Health, to erect two blocks of buildings on the most up- to-date lines, the designs for which were prepared by the City engin- eer. The two blocks which cost $263,- 000, have been designed to contain each of which is about $5.50, LARGEST AIRPORT IN AUSTRALIA Sydney, Australia, June 1.=<The largest airport in Australia will soon be established here, on March Island, to. accommodate the planes to be used on the Melbourne-Sydney air passenger service.

CANADA ~ * Toronto,' June 1--Pronounhcements that the industrial situation the world over is "out of gear," particularly for manufacturing plants of average size and that the people of Canada must awake to the need for a protective tariff if the Canadian cloth weaving and knit goods industry is to be sav- ed from ruin at the hands of foreign importations, were notable develop- ments of the annual meeting at the King Edward hotel yesterday of the Canadian Woollen and Knit Goods Manufacturers' association. More than 100 deleagtes represent- ing wool products 'manufacturers in all provinces of the dominion assem- bled for the meeting, which was the 11th annual gathering of the associa- tion, Business performed insluded re-election of Major David' C. Dick of Cobourg, president of the associa- tion; A. E. Craig, Toronto, vice-pre- sident, and Major Douglas Hallam, Toronto, secretary. The meeting also voted to continue its support of the fellowship by which a wool re- search laboratory is operated as part of the Ontario Research foundation. Technical difficulties encountered by members of the association arc un- snarled at the laboratory. Keen interest was displayed by those attending when H. Stutchbury, trade commissioner for the provin- cial government of Alberta, announ- ced that Alberta was anxious to see the establishment of a wool spinning, weaving or cutting plant in that proyince. YS of the wool sheep herds of Canada were in Alberta, he said, and it was logical and sound .economics to have manufacturing establish- ments close to the source of produc- tion and supply. The outsanding production discuss- ed at the convention, and the one which roused the greatest debate, not to mention indignant protest, was the fact that woollen and wor- sted cloths made abroad dominate the Canadian market with the effect that many Canadian mills have had to shut down entirely or at least to operate only a few days a week. Factories where the finished products are turned out obtain 75 per cent of their cloths from foreign mills, it was said, and probably would con- tinue to do so unless a protective tariff were establishéd to help the Canadian industry. CHINESE TAKE PART IN CELEBRATIONS Victoria, B.C, June 1.--For the first time in the city's history the Chinese population played an impor- tant part in the celebration of Em- pire Day here. In the old days the New Year's period was 'made festive by the Chinese, but the overthrow of the old Manchu dynasty and the modernization of Chinese customs has caused the Chinese living in British Columbia to seek some other occasion for the exercise of their carnival spir- it. This year the Chinese in Victoria chose Empire Day. Four thousand years ago, during the Hu San dynasty, when China was probably the most advanced nation in the world, stalwart lions with the flowing manes invaded the country. The people feared and admired the strength and nobility of the beast and adopted them as their national symbol. The dualist schools which in the present age would be known as physical culture, schools, rapidly took hold of the spirit of bravery and power denoted by the new sym- bol, and hence the Dance of the Lions, which was performed in Vic- toria by the young Chinese of the city, After the dance, which showed sev- eral agile youths wearing the massive masks of lions in various contortions, came 'a dance of swords men inter- pretative of the Chinese race having caught the spirit of the lion's brav- ery and the skill of self-defcnse without looking for trouble, GREAT SEMINARY * FOR JUBILEE YEAR Milan Marks Pope's Jubilee by Building Seminary For 1,000 Students Rome, June 1.--About $50,000 has been collected towards the new seminary on Monte Venegono, near Varese, which the diocese of Milan is erecting in commemoration of the jubilee of Pope Pius XI. Al- most $88,000 is still needed for the completion of the seminary, but the money is coming in rapidly in large subscriptions from bankers and industrialists, in small sub- seriptions from working people, all animated by the same spirit of gen- erosity that distinguishes the popu- lation of Milan, the richest city in Italy, whenever it is any question of useful public work, 'The seminary covers almost the whole of the Venegono Hill, and consists of three lines of buildings, one behind the other connected by galleries and porticos, and having a large central church, besides a number of smaller chapels. There will be accommodation for a thou- sand students, The engineer of the works ex- pects "that: the seminary willl be sufficiently advanced for its inau- guration to take place next Decem- ber, at the close of.the Pope's jubi- -1lee year, Will the Pope himself, un- der' the changed conditions now prevailing come back to his old dio- cese and-preside-at 'the: ceremony? That is the question that every one connected with the seminary is asking, but so far no definite an- swer is available, / : FLAVOR NEILSON"S ICE CREAM All the luscious flavors of sweet crushed fruits, skill- fully blended with rich cream and fine cane sugar combine to give you Neilson's Cream.

It was pointed out that the Discovery, which was a heavy ship, would need to take advantage of the prevailing winds, If Melbourne had been the start- ing point, as had been originally de- cided, the Discovery, after reaching the Antarctic circle, would 'have had to beat against strong winds, which would mean heavy coal consumption. The amount of coal which it would be possible to carry would be limited, so every advantage would have to be taken of the winds in the Far South.

It was approved without a division, however. Hon, W. B. Willoughby said that Mr. Russell of the finance depase- ment, expected that the new scale of taxation would bring in some- thing over $1,000,000 in revenue, as compared with $615,000 now. He had ben assured that there would be much more revenue than this, While many people believed it to be their duty to prevent small people from speculating, yet he was democratic enough to believe that a man iwth a shilling in his pocket had as much right to bet as the man with ten pounds. Senator Robertson drew atten- tion to how industry had been stifled and strangled and the great exodus from this country. Now, he sald, the government was gong to make it impossible for those who remained in Canada to specu- late without paying a tax six times as much on a $10 investment as the rich man paid on an invest- ment of $1,000. Hon. R. F. Green sald the great mines of Canada in the early days were but prospects with stock be- ing sold at very low prices. The government would" not make any money out of this bill, as brokers were moving across the line and would transact business in small shares there. Right Hon. Geo. P. Graham gala the financial .statement of the country showed how prosperous it was. Leading brokers said it was almost impossible to calculate the variations of. the. small. penny stocks. Hon. gentlemen had wax- ed eloquent on behalf of the poor man, but they did not say any- thing about the poor girle. It would have heen a godsend to thousands of girls if they had been prohibited. from speculating in small stocks. During the past few months in the United States the federal reserve banks found means to check speculation. There was a craze for speculation abroad at the present time. Some penny stocks had become very valuable but scores had not. In the pro- posed bill the government was re- ducing taxation by $24,000,000 and adding but a little over $400,- 000 through the share transfer tax. The bill was approved. BRITAIN WILLLEAD TALKING PICTURES Seymour Hicks Going From Stage to Talkies | London, June 1--Seymour Hicks who, according to a recent an- nouncement, is going over from tne stage to talking pictures, says he is convinced that Great Britain, py her strict traditions and purity of diction, is bound to take the lead in this new form of screen enter- tainment. He is joining the board of 2 mew company--International Talking Screen Pictures, Limitea-- which is to engage in film proauc- tion in England, the United States and Germany. British Screen Pro- ductions, Limited, for which organ- {zation Mr. Hicks - is director of talking picture programs, will be the British link in the internation- al concern. The contract with Seymour Hicks, which is for two years, in- cludes all his stage successes, and the company has the first call also Thomas R. Gemmell has been picked from the 85th Toronto troop of scouts to represent the district at the international scout convention to be held in England this summer, on the services of Miss Ellaline Terriss, English stage actress, who arranged to enter the talkies. My; Hicks says he is not at all apprehensive of the talking films putting the stage out of action. "There will always be a public for good plays and good acting" he says, "But I can visualize a great future for the development of the new form of cinematography, and there are men and women in Brit- ain today who having given their lives to dramatic art with little re- turn, have now a splendid oppor- tunity of rehabilitating .them- selves." WILL DISCUSS MARRIAGE PROBLEM Drops Resolution Regarding Civil Contracts Until Next Session Toronto, June 1.--The question whether civil marriages should be introduced into Ontario began a warm discussion which promised to enliven the comparatively dull routine of the final session of the annual synod of the Anglican dio- cese of Toronto yesterday after- noon, but it was choked off at the suggestion of Bishop Sweeny be- cause so much business still re- mained to be done. "It will be the disgrace of Can- ada," protested Canon Dyson Hague, 'if this synod, with such slight attendance, in a féw mo- ments attempts to formulate any pronouncement whatsoever on 30 mementons a question as this." The motion of Rev. J. BE. Ward and Canon H. P. Plumptre read as follows: "Whereas marriage licenses are issued in this prov- ince for ceremonies not within the purview of the normal ministra- tions of the church, and whereas grave difficulty and concern is occasioned to those holding said lcenses and to the ministries licensed to perform such ceremon- ies, this synod would recommend to the government the advisability of instituting suitable facilities for thep erformance and "registration { of civil marriages within the prov- ince of Ontario." Mr. Ward remarked upon the need, throughout history, of coun- stant readjustment in the rela- tions of church and state. It was definitely established that the church had the right to lay down rules for the government of its own members and it looked to the state to protect it in that right. On the other hand, the state must pro- tect all citizens both in civil and religious matters, The motion be- fore the house implied no change of attitude towards marriage, but aimed rather at the deepening of Jeverence for its sacramental qual- ty.

It is poor economy td have ice compartment too small, but one does not want the ice boi so large that there is more space to keep cool than the food storage requires. The hardware should be strong and simple and seal the doors shut. Do not set the refrigerator outside where it will be exposed to the weather, for this will make it warp and leak air, To varnish the outside once in a while helps to preserve it.
