Age. Designs were often carved on the handles of daggers Stone Age hunt- ers used. Sometimes it was the im-. age of a deer, sometimes of a bear or even a mammoth. This was a handy thing to do be- cadise it prevented mixups. By means of the handles, men could tell which daggers were theirs. Affer they came in trom a hunt, they could toss them in a heap and not worry ahoa: confusion. Hundreds of carved daggers have been found inside Europe's caves. The handles were often made from the antlers 'of reindeer. One such handle was cut in the shape of a mammoth, Of course, the bigness pt the mammoth could not be shown well; but the tusks, head and legs were plainly made. Most of the blade of this dagger is missing, but what there is of it seems to show tna. the, blade extended straight out in place of'the trunk. It seems that carving was quite Gften done just for the fun of it. For instance, the image of a horse's head [nas gome ages. It never formed a dagger handle, but was made because some- one enjoyed the work. We have before us a 'picture of this head. It was cut from ivory. Notice that the horse is whinnying. , From another piece of ivory, a whole horse was carved. The ani- mal was made about three inches long. When found, part of the legs had been broken or worn away, but the head, mane, body and tail were still plajnly to be seen. Now I am going to tell you some- thing you may be surprised to hear---- in a certain cave, an animal's tooth was found, but it no longer looked Ilke a tooth. It was carved in the shape of the upper half of a woman's body!

Squire, chair- man of the executive commitiee of the Canada Good Roads Associa- tion. gave a most eloquent and in- spiring sddress before the Board of Trade on Tuesday evening. 'While reviewing the marvelous extent of the development that has taken place throughout the country, our highways, and natural resources, the speaker emphasized the possibilities that He in the tourist traffic ana suggested what might be done to realize substantial returns from the vast expenditures that have been made and are still being made on highway construction. He entertain- ed his audience with a ' vivid pore trayal of life in various provinces, in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Soskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, all of which he had visi:- ed and studied. In opening his address he said he could see no reason why there should be a constant drift of pepulation from Canada to the United States, and" declared that if the people but realized the enormous assets repre- sented in our natural 'resources, in agricultural lands, our minerals, forests, fisheries, and the facilities represented by our highways great transportation systems, they would more seriously consider their wonderful opportunities here befor, going to another country. "Canada," he said "is 110,000 Square miles larger than the United States, and of our 440,000,000 acres of agricultural land, only 110,000,.- 000 are occupied, aid of this bu: ten per cent is under erop. Of our timber $250,000,000 worth is export- ed annually. Theré are one billion (l} cords of pulp wood still to be cut. {in minerals, a enought to pay off our national debt. 8, produce ually $200,000,000 ~we do not yet know the value of our mineral wealth, but it. has been estimated that this resouzce alon and all thrifty shoppers to take full advantage mistake to build roads in competi- tion with steam roads. In the United States, the revenue' with steam roads has improved with the improvement of highways and roads. Production has increased and this has increas- ed the railway tonnage which is the main thing." "In Canada the isolation on thes prairie caused losses by the removal of settlers, and we should try to dis- cover how we could look after them brgter. We have over. 5,000,000 Can- adians in the United States and 1,- 000,000 who came from England to | Canada have gone there. How much of this emigration is due to our fallure to tell them of the possibil'- ties here?" te "In Ontario $24,000,000 have been been invested in roads since J30y and in the last three years $53,000,000 have been spent. Is it possible that we can go on spending money at such a mate? We must have sanity in this work, and there will come a time when it will be too expensive to build boulevards. One way to solve the problem is to at- tract tourists. It was estimated that 630,000 Americans entered Canada in 1921, and 428,000 remained only a few hours, but they left $57,- 000,000. In 1922; tourists left $100,- 000,000 of whioh perhaps $10,000, 000 came to Ontario. Kingston mast do som: ng to get the benefit from this trade when Lake Ontario is circled with a highway as it will be. for you have the things that delight tourists."
