A few years ago a:i observing man lived on the fifth floor of an apartment he-use in which there was a wel-1- equipped elevator. He noticed with satisfaction the rcjrularity w-ith which the elevator was inspected, but he also noticed that the elevator boys were constantly leaving: and new ones coming- m their place. After a white he asked th-e manager of the house why there were so many chang-es. I "The boyn do their work so poorly I have to discharge them and look for others," was the manager's reply. After fhat the n.an paid more at- tention to the boys. Most of them responded immediately to his ring for tJie etevator. Yet in almost ev^ry c**e the elevator would gn above the , fifth floor, then below it. and after ji Purlin*: up and down several times stop an inch cr two off the proper pi-ace. Rolling the door open, the boy; would caution. "Watch your step." One day the boy who was running the elevator a trifle worse than any' of his predecessors exclaimed, "Welij to-day is my last day on this job!"i "Why?" asked the man. "Oh, because we don't gt paid enougrn. I was only Just filling in with this. I'm gx>ing- to look for a better job." "Why don't you learn to stop t the rig-ht place fiwt?" the man asked. "What's the ue? It*' too easy!" the boy exclaimed, wide-eyed. Then, leaning confidentially toward his pas- ftengrer, be wh.iape.red, "I'm going to learn to run an automobile. Chauffeurs get lota of money." "Yes, I know; but if you learn first to stop an elevator at the right place, won't you bo a better chauffeur?" The boy rclkxl the door wide, grin- ned and remarked, "Oh, what's the use?" That is just the question: What is the use of <k>ing little things well, when we want instead to be do-ing big-| ger awl more Important things? The day after the man had had that! talk with the elevator boy some one, called the manager of the building on the telephone and asked about the boy. "He was the worst one we have: ever had." was the manager's reply. In the week that followed the same question was asked many times, and the managerial ways answered it in the] same way. The boy is not a chauf- feur; he is still "filling in." If he had stopped at the appointed place conscientiously day after day, not only would the manager have been 1 reluctant to part with him but when the time came he would gladly havej iaid to the first inquiry over the tele-' phone: "John did his work wel!."j There would have been m> subsequent! telephone calls.

Peat Industry to be Established Which Will Tend to Allevi- ate Fuel Situation. Canada's fuel problem la one of the most streastul In the Dominion's na- tional existence and was t: first to receive attention from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research up- on Its formation. Practically all the coal used In Central Canada comes from the United States and enormous sums of money are paid each year tc that country for the winter's supply. What would be the effect upon the Canadian people and truelr Industries should this supply be cut off, even for a single winter. Is not pleasant con- templation, and naturally the question of meeting, wholly or partially, from Canadian sources, thlx demand for cx>al, In the central areas of Canada, has occupied the best minds of the country. Investigation has followed a double course -th utilization of the peat boga of Canada and the briquet- ting of the low grade lignites of s.outh eastern Saskatchewan. In the vast central portion; of Cana- da lying between the largest coal-bear- ing areas is an extensive territory where coal measures diminish and which is largely dependant upon the United States for its coal supply. There are estimated to be some 37,000 fquare miles of peat bogs In the Do- minion from live to ten feet deep, the greater supply being In these coalless regions. In many of these areas it wan considered that the peat industry might udvuuUKOcujly be Introduced, th peat being peeuliarly suited for manufacture into fuel for domestic and power purposes and conveniently situ- at(-d as regard* transportation facili- ties and contiguous adjacent Industrial rommunitleB. Formation of a Peat Committee. The manufacture of peat in certain areas had been carried out in a spas- modic and desultory manner fur a number of years ami in the main had not proved satisfactory. An investl- Ration by the Dcminlui Mines Hrunch determined that this was due to lack of knowledge on the part of operators of tie nature of thn commodity they were hitndiii:g In 11S the whole question was 1 placed In the hands of a 1'ent Committee 1 , consisting of four members, who conduct el investiga- tions Into the peat bogs of the Do- nihifon with a view to establishing their utility as a source of fuel. Both 0:1 account of the greater need of the industrial area about It. and to the fiuoral>le nature of the deposits, and tli!' additional fact li.nt the Ontario government had preliminary Investi- gations already under way In that area, attention became concentrated on the peat bogs of Alfred, In I'rescctt County, Ontario. The fact that they had tHi problem to solve and that all 'l.--ir efforts were directed along the lint o.' expc; iin -tit: tlon and investlgat on must be ho ;.e in mind.

During 1919 a new machine was de- signed upon tlio basis of the one In operation and the two operated In competition throughout 1920, account- ing for u combined pioductlon In that year of 5,. 100 tons.

Chatham and F'evern In On- ( tario, Knialler supplies going to Kltch-' enen, Ontario, and Joliette and Three Hlvers, Quebec. A close study was made throughout the year of the two machines in operation and the conclu- sion arrived at that neither was the most efficient possible, and according- ly a new machine wus designed com- bining the beet points of each of the other two. The year 1921 was occupied largely with the construction of the combina- tion plant so that this year was to a great extent one of continued experi- mentation and a development along other lines than production. In order to keep up a certain proportion of the output, one of the condemned plants was continued in operation and In 1921 a total of 3,889 tons were pro- duced. Of this 1,500 tons were ship- ped to the markets which had already been developed and which the pre- vious year could hnve absorbed ten times the production. An unfortunate fire of unknown origin consumed prac- tically the entire remainder of the output and put an cad to shipping for that year. A Plant Finally Perfected.

This new Interest has not only had the effect of bringing manu- facturers from the British Isles to es- tablish in the Dominion, but has stim- ulated the expansion of American In- terests in Canada to meet the competi- tion. Many New Incorporations. In the year 1921 a total of 1.081 possessing those qualities wii'lch prove attractive to manufactures and show that the wide diversity of Canadian na- tural resources, profusely scattered, makes the establishment of industries in any section profitable. The Border cities, always regarded in great favor by American manufac- turers, have recently experienced a substantial expansion to their automo- bile industries tbrough the doubling of the capacity of the Ford plant and charters were granted new companies | the lcc?t'on in that area of the Podge commencing operations in Canada, the ' Company.

As the result of the campaign waged by the Canadian Government with the object of educating British manufac- turers, half a dozen branch plants of English manufacturing concerns are announced as locating. In addition an English automobile manufacturing In- dustry is to enter into competition with United States flrms manufactur- ing in Canada, and there la a possibili- ty of an Englis-h firm establishing a lace-making industry In tbe near future. The firm of Dent, Allcroft, has located a subsidiary company at St. Catharines, Ontario, to manufacture the gloves which have made the parent house famous, and a representa- tive of Vlckers, Ltd., of London, Eng- land, has been in British Columbia with the object of establishing manu- facturing and distributing branches in the province. The virtual ban existing In the United States against the introduction of Canadian agricultural produce has brought home to Canada the wbdom of becoming Independent in this re- gard. The full result of this will only develop in the course of time, but al- ready Canada has in sight the manu- facture of her wool into a state ready for her textile mills 1 , a work previous- ly performed in the United States. The same desire has to some extent ex- panded the manufacture of asbestos products In Canada, the extension of the existing Industry In the Eastern Townships of Quebec now being in a position to supply all Canadian re-~ qulrements in this regard. An Optimistic Outlook. Altogether Canada has reason to be exceedingly gratified at the manner in which the Dominion has been favored this year by manufacturers In other countries, which would Indicate a re- markable expansion in the country's Industrial output with in a very short period. Just how important Canadian industry looms up in the national life can only be estimated from a con- sideration of the fact that whilst In 1821 the agricultural production of Cauada was valued at $1,39(5.223,000, the Industrial output in 1919 was worth $3.520,724,039. Its growth is seen in comparison with the figures of 1870, $221.617,773. and 1900. $481,053,- 375. operation, the plan', is perfected and is expected to operate the full season, doubling at the very least, the produc- tion of the year 1921. The machine has a capacity of ten tons per hour and Is expected to maintain an output of one hundred tons per day of ten hours. Last season the manufactured fuel was put on the curs at Alfred at a price of $5 per ton and it is assured that this cost of production can be maintained \vh41st there is a possibili- ty of shaving it this year. Another excellent feature of achlev- ment In the year 1921 huo boen the de- velopment of a small machine which can be operated by thw men and will avoruge a production of about two tons per hour. The machine, which has been perfected In operation, has been devised for use on small bogs, to j be used by communities of farmers on ' such aieas, or even to finish up the | work (ii larger deposits. It Is pointed . out t! at whilst Ireland is the principal j peat producing country of the world | r.onn of har deposits arc extensive and that her annual production which runt Into the million* of tons.

The present machine It is considered, pro- duces as economically as is possible and the matter of r-iinpetitiun with coal at pointfl dUtant from the bogs, l.i largely a matter of extraneous fact- ors. > There would appear to be little doubt but that as a result of the activi- ties nnd demonstrations of tfc Peat Committee, a peat Industry will short- ly be established In Canada and the coal Importation situation allcvlatud by thUs means to at least some small j extent. Results from the burning of j the Alfred peat fuel have been excel- 1 lent, especially In combination with j Imported hard coal. It Is not Intended to obviate, by this means, or even ex- pected, the necessity of coal Importa- tion, but to curtail foreign buying, spend the money which would c.ther wise go out of the country, on the de- velopment of u Canadian resource and develop a source of fuel supply should, for any reason, the supply of hard coal be suddenly cut off. Wliat Kind of Blood. The students at the medical school were having an oral examination. The serum of u frog, s.ys Mr. Ramsay Colles, had been put upon the slide of a micro : and each student was to j declare what it was. The first student auccessfully pro- nounced the object to be "the blood cf a frog." On leaving tr^ room, he man- aged to convey the Information to a fellow student who was far from bright. Meanwl:iile the pro.eesor had re- moved the slide and had substituted a slide bearing a drop o( his own blood. The second student In hit) turn easily iilertitled it as blood. "What kind of blood?" asked the professor. "I think, sir, It's the blood of ;; rep- 1 tile?" was the quick reply. The Best Way to Keep Young.
