of iflga began with the decline in business activity in the last months of 19vi a decline which continued throughout a great part of 1938 the decline was ant felt and was most marked on the united kates lines of the company tne operations of the system for 1038 were largely influenced by the necessity of curtailing expenses as far as possible in view of the falling re venues while at the same time main taining the property and its equip ment in condition to meet the pre ent andprospective transportation re quirements of the country also to provide far the movement of grain arising from the anticipated improve ment in the western crop the revenues in the last quarter o he year indicate a cessation of the downward trend and there now ap pear definite indications of the trend- turning upwards again the problem of reducing expense in the face of declining traffic wae made more difficult than it otherwise would have been an account of in creases in the price of fuel and other supplies the restoration of wage rates to predepression levels in canada- agreed upon early in 1937 and fully operative on april 1 1938 and an increase in wages above piedepres sion levels on united states lines these factors together with a pro gramme of creating a reserve of freight cars and locomotives in the expectation of a large crop movement limited tbe reduction in operating vx- penees the increases in wage rates resulting from protracted wage nego tiations with organised labour in canada and the united states alone amounted to several millions of dol lars notwithstanding these adverse factors it proved possible to reduce expense o the syst by approximately 4500600 fr 1937 level it is gratifying to be able to record that the steps taken to cur- tall expenses did not impair the effi ciency of the uiu the decline hi groat revenues in 1938 was upwards of 15 million dol lars and the decline in net revenue be ten and eleven minion dol- fcum as compared with 1937 not withstanding the very difficult oper ating conditions and the supplying o essential transportation t to many parts of the country at heavy expense the revenues tor the year were sufficient to pay all the operat ing expenses and leave a balance of net revenue from railway operation of nearly 7000000 some new equipment was acquired during the year two tlwwim steel box cars of the most modem design

which had been under construction for the past two years was completed and was formally open ed on december 3rd tills line serves a region which has proved to be rich to snmersl wealth and with the pro vision of direct railway transporta tion it is anticipated that further development will take place the provision of this branch line as well as the earlier branch line from tas- chereau to bouyn to serve the nor- anda development furnishes an illus tration of the pioneering development won carried on by the canadian na tional while the provision of rail way transportation has enabled a substantial mining development to take place with general benefit to the country the railway from a financial standpoint must look to the traffic of the future to obtain a fair return upon the capital

bulbs in cardboard reflectors three or tour feet from the subject you have enough light for snapshots with a box camera with a focusing type camera you would get aatlbtactory results by mtttog the lass aperture at ml and the shutter speed at 1ss of a second in the picture shown here the light colored wall serves as a reflec tor to illuminate the shadow aide ot the tabletop scene ordinarily two lamps are used for a picture one to illuminate each side of a sub ject by changing the angle and posl uon of the lights many interesting shadow effects can be obtained a piece of cardboard can serve as a background asinthcplc ab for night snapshots the camera should be loaded with a fast mm ot the super type with slower alms it is necessary to provide two or three times as much light and for closeups as shown here aj trait attachment must be placed on the camera lens unless yours is one of the finer focusing cameras in night picturetaking it is lm portent to have your photo lights at a
