Since the End of the War 731 New Branches Have Been Opened In Different Parts of the Dominion and Returns Show In crease In the Savings of the Peo- ple of This Country. a Great INCE Sir Thomas White, then "Minister of Finance, lifted the ban on the opening of new branches shortly after the signing of the armistice, there has been an unprecedented scramble on tho part of all Canadian banks to open up new offices all over Canada. From the signing of the armistice to the end of July, 731 new branches were opened in Canada, and as only 20 were closed, there is a net gain of 711, more than the total number jof branches of all Canadian banks eighteen years ago, and an average of wo a day Now there are over four thousand banks in Can- 2,500 people. States with its national bankin yst there is one bank for every 600 people, and in Eng- land, there is only one branch for every 4,800 people What is the meani expansion the number 2 dian banks? Some experts deplore it; they say that it is a "mushroom" growth; that Canada has not enough business to keep 4,000 bank branches busy. Yet an analysis of the clear- ing house reports and monthly bank statements does not tend to this view Clearings have increased an average of 25 percent. all over Canada in comparison with last year's. figures In some cities, Windsor, for instance, they have gen: up as much as 100 per cent. Savings deposits have shown the most remarkable increase. The lessons of thrift, inculcated in the people of Canada by the war and the Vietory Loan campaigns, are not the kind that will easily be for- gotten There are others who say that the vast numbers of new branches being opened in the smaller centres of Canada will not add much to the prosperity of the towns and villages they are located in. They claim that the banks open these branches merely to increase their depdsits, and instead of loan- ing back this money to the local in- dustries, they collect large reserves in the important cities, such as To- routo and Montreal, and loan the money to large corporations. These people who make this complaint al- lege that there is a "money trust" in Canada and they see no good in the amalgamation of Canadian banks. 1t is a question that is agitating Eng- land to some extent now, but it is probable that competition between the branches of Canadian ada, or one f6r every In the United in formation of "money trusts." Another answer to this argument is seen in instructions issued by the | head offices of two of the largest | banks to their local managers, in which (t is pointed out that branch managers must "know' their com- munities, that they must be '"'com- munity builders" and do everything {to boost local industry. This summer several of the banks have held conventions of their var- lous managers.

The storekeeper takes an engine and places it carefully on his counter, He takes another, and another, and another. Assuming that it requires ten seconds to place each engine in front of the customer, at the end of five hours and twenty minutes there will be a display of 1,920 en- gines on the counter and the order for <'one pound" will be filed. No such order has ever been given, but its possibility suggested by the ight of "Tiny Tim," the small- est steam engine in the world. On a-continent 'where the 'biggest ever" is a frequent sight, to possess the smallest specimen in existence of anything is unique. Toronto has many engineering plants capable of turning out gar- gantuan steam engines that register horsepower by the thousands, but to build an engine so minute that a microscope is necessary to examine it -is an accomplishment altogether beyond the umited capacities of these great engineering shops. Such a feat has been achieved, however, by T. H. Robinson, a To- | ronto watchmaker, who has made a steam engine so small that it takes 1,920 to weigh one pound, or 3,840,- 000 to weizh one ton.

EAE EERO A Positive Way to Cut Costs The most progressive manufacturers employ efficiency experts to lessen the cost of production. These experts charge large fees, which are willingly paid because they usually return the expense incurred a hundred-fold. In Canada there are many manufac- turers who could wisely and profitably employ an efficiency expert; many of them are paying for power which they never use and they do not realize that their present equipment is stealing part It is to give expert service on Trans- mission Belting that we maintain a Service Department, absolutely free to manufacturers, as a means RO SO REO AOE of cutting geographical divisions of Canada is bound to have a good effect in help- ing the East to know the West, Quebec to understand Ontario, and in lessening misunderstandings. In fact, one New York writer sees in this feature of Canada's banking sys tem---each bank controiling branches in every province--the greatest asset for the future welfare of the country. Canada's banks have good connec- tions with the outer world. The Union Bank, in connection with the National Park Bank of New York, has recently established the Park- Union Foreign Banking Corporation with branches in Yokohama and Shanghai, to aid in the development of a larger Canadian trade with the j Orient. The same corporation is also | opening branches at Tokio and Kobe, | which is becoming Japan's greatest | industrial and shipping city. | America, Other branches of Canadian banks outside Canada are as follows: Newfound- land, 38; West Indies and Central 45; United States, 16; Cuba, 31; Great Britain, 8; France, 3; Mexico, 1; Siberia and Spain, 1. How Canadian banks are distri- buted over Canada is shown by the following table showing the number of branches in each province: Ontario. ... Quebec Saskatchewan Manitoba British Columbia Nova Scotia an engine builder with a model which, although measuring only one inch in Height, assumes almost gi- gantic proportions when seen beside its much smaller successor. It is of the vertical type, with oscillating cylinder, and a five-cent piece pro- vides it with ample standing room. Comparing this first model with ordinary watch work, Mr. Robinson decided it was too easy and he re- solved to make an engine that should have the proud distinction of being the smallest in the world. The result was "Tiny Tim," a per- fect-working model steam engine built up of seventeen pieces. "Tiny Tim's" bed and stand are of gold. His shaft runs in hardened and ground steel bearings inserted in the gold bed. His fly wheel has a steel hub and arms and a gold rim. His stroke is 1-32 of an inch, and hé can make 6,000 revolutions a minute. When in motion he makes & noise like the "ping" of a mos- quito. For practical purposes "Tiny" does not cut a great deal of ice. He baulks at turning the churn or work- ing the family washing machine, and he is useless for generating electrie light. A careful estimate of "Tiny Tim's" horsepower has been made by Dr. C. A. Chant, of the Depart- ment: of Physies in Toronto Univer- sity. Dr. Chant calculated the speed by means of tuning forks and meas- 'ured the horsepower as 1-498000 of one horsepower.
