Out- side of her brother Ted and a former lover, Dr. Deane Franklin, no one in the old home town would have any- thing to do with her. A large part of the book is taken up with her suf- ferings, the shame of her friends and the breaking of her father's and mo- ther's hearts. The coldness of hu- man hearts towards the sinner is for- cibly impressed, and goes to prove that the woman who departs from the conventional code pays such a price Jia the game is not worth the can- i e. The author carefully analyzes Ruth Holland's motives. She took such a course because Stuart Wil- dom and the safety of the The poems, expected, deal with war incidents.

Canada is to-day obtaining her na- tional, provincial and municipal loans in the United States and it may be expected as a result of the war ,| that Canada's borrowings will be af- fected in the United States for the next fifty years.

Before the war American capital owned three-quarters of Canada's standing timber, two-thirds of her coal mines, more than half her grain elevators and by direct or indirect control, an enormous proportion of her working mines. These holdings have been increased since the out- break of the war; many English holders have had to let go of their Investments at a sacrifice, Canada is the only part of North America with a great untouched res- érvoir of natural resources.

This means that American capital and in- dustry will continue to pour into Canada after the war, * Canada lacks a winter port on the Atlantic; and this year has sent 80 per cent of her vast exports out by way of American ports.

Montreal, April 29.--The reason for the increase in the capitalization of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal To increase the efficiency and the capacity of the Ford Canadian plant and its service stations--to produce even a better car at a lower cost of manufacture, thus to sell at a lower price, the Ford Canadian executives have put over a million dollars into new equipment since August, 1914. That this expenditure has been made since war began indicates most 'emphatically the unquestionable belidf of the Canadian Ford Company in the present and future prosperity of Canada and the Ariumph of the Empire. In fact the Ford Canadian executives are so firmly con- vinced of this that they are governing the entire policy of a great ten milllon dollar Canadian Company in accordance with this belief. Since the beginning of war they have spent approx- imately a million and three-quarters in new buildings, twice reduced the price of the ear by $60 ($120 in-ull) and reduced thie price of spare parts $147 per car--all in addition to this million dollars worth of new equip- ment, But, in turn, it has been this new equipment that has heen responsible in great part for these reductions in prices. Marvelous new labor saving machinery installed in the recently enlarged two-acre machine shop has effected big savings in cost of manufacture. For instance three drill presses that formerly were used to turn out 600 parts a day, now have been sup- planted by three punch presses that turn out 3000 parts a day, and there is absolutely no sacrifice in quality of work. At a cost of $40,000 three truly wonderful milling machines were installéd that mill 48 Ford engine cylin- ders at once with perfect accuracy. Perhaps the most wonderful of all are the new gear cutting machines that are a source of amazement to those acquainted with gear cutting methods in vogue serveral years ago. Then there were only two or three shops on the continent where gear cutting could be done at all and it wasa slow and most exacting process, But in the Ford Canadian plant there are no less than 46 wonderful automatic geer cutting machines that turn out gears cut absolutely perfect in one-twentieth the time without the touch of human hands except for , Putting in the blank and taking out the finished gear. pA, Shin of the great suv g in labor, as well ss time, effected remarkable drilling machine that bores 45 holes in a cylinder casting in four directions at a single turn. Do not assume from this, however, that the number of employees has been decreased. On the contrary, the Ford staff has been increased by 900 men since war began. Furthermore when the of wages went into effect in April 1915, the wages of these employces were increased $50,000 a month. If it were not for the substantial made possible by this new equipment, it can be understood that the price of the Ford car, built as it is today of the finest materials procurable, would be very much higher. Pro No firm that did not have the immense duction of the Canadian Ford plant could possibly afford to install such equipment as this and consequently could not sell a car as good as the Ford at anywhere near the Ford prices. In addition to the equipment told of above engines were installed in the power plant at Ford, Ontario 650 horse power gas engines si designed by Ford Engineers. Also the four new Ford Branch buildings at Montreal, Toronto, London and 'Winnipeg, each of them as large as many automobile factories, had to be furnished with machinery and appliances. - Each one of these branches Is so thoroughly equipped as to be uble to build 'a Ford car complete. Each one forms a still further perfection in the already unrivalled Ford Service to Ford: owners. And the fact eannot be overlooked that a poliey that dictated the expenditure of such a great sum of eold cash as this during the progress of the war must have been prompted by a very practical and sincere belief in Canada's prosperity--in ber future and in her people, pletely ousting the Germans in this particular industry.
