SUCCEED ELECTRICITY LIKE OTHER INVENTIONS Had Its Detractors From The Beginning And Will Have Till the End. By Susan Ellen Dodge. The man who advanced the theory that the world was round and uvhat if you sailed to the west you would reach the east practically took his life in his hands. Ridiculous! the world was flat. Everyone knew it. kiveryone kpew too (though no one ~ had been found with the courage to attempt to prove it) that there which whén reached, would plunge you forth into eternity, Chains, prison, of position loss 'and estates and even physical tor- ture Was been the reward meted out to the few courageous souls who have dared to defy the "they say" of the mob mind. Even if the public by and large 'thas not resorted to violence it has | invariably and inevitably fallen back afd vpon an attitude of supreme belief. Even so recently as 1792 crowds congregated upon the shore of the Hudson River to hoot and how! at Robert Fulton because he was such an_ idiot as to imagine a boat could run by steam! Why, it simply could not be done. Every- cne (again!) knew that, The automobile inventors, back- ers and enthusiasts, the Wright Brothers and their fraction met with the same reception from the pub- lic. Added to all else decreed the masses, even if these two feats, mot- coring and7aeroplaning, could _be ac- complished, they were absolutely unsafe and none would ever live through a ride. Least of all would such modes of transportation really become popular. Today, as we look back down tire years, such an attitude towards the March of Progress seems childlike and absurd. Yet how many perkons, among your own friends, can you recall remarking that a vacuum 'cleaner would never be accepted by the general public for cleaning rooms; that there was no method of faundering clothes so good as the old-fashioned washtub and that electric dishwashing was merely a in right actual usage? Go.back still a little further. As late as. 1879, when many folks were coming to beliéve in the commercial possibility. of electric lighting (the method n which the vanguard o: modern "electric service" generally was introduced to us) so learned a man as one of the Fellows of the Royal Academy of Science, of Great Britain came out in print with the following sweeping denunciation: "During the intervening thirty years I have abstained from further meddling with electric light, be- cause-all I had seen then and have heard since hag convinced me that though as a scientific achievement the eletric light is a splendid suc- cess, its gractical application to ail purposes where cost is a matter of serious consideration is a complete and"hopeléss failure and must of necessity CONTINUE TO BR SO!" The modérn. world of today with its maze and blaze of electric lights on, every hand refutes those last four words beyond the shadow of a doubt. Had inventors, and experi mentors rested upon the statement of the scientist just quoted we would not have the marvellous {lighting system 'that we know toda¥y:' Sim= flarly, the detractors of 'alestrical service in general and of such de- vices as the dishwasher, electric re- frigerator and electric range in par- ticular may have cause, within the next ten years, to eat their words, just as would the earned British gentleman of the eighteenth cen- '| tury were he to come back tomor- row, Electrica development is still ob- viously in its infancy.

Longing to hear a telephone Why did you ever roam? Wondering about that deal Or Jim or Jack or Hugh Lat ada depended largely upon Great Britain to furnish capital for its de- velopment. Now the United States is Canada's investment bamker. It has held this post since the end of the war, for during the war Canada practically financed herself. And iu the few years since the end of (he war so much American money has been invested 1i Canada that the United States has forged to the front 'as having the biggest stake invested in Canada thin any other foreign nation, displacing 'Great Britain from this position. Great Britain has been unable to continue its invest- 'ments in Canada at the [pre<war rate because of the dislocation, following the war, of its trade and financial equilibrium and the depreciation of the pound sterling. The United States, with an enlarged foreign banking outlook, a great excess store of capital, and a dollar that has been "top dog" for several years, has been able to put millions into Canada and has done so. In the eight years from 1907 to 1914, which included the golden period of development, Canada bor Towed from Great Britain £1,482- 943,990. This did not include all the British investments made ia Canada during that period, but was the total of Camedian bond issues, public and private, sold in London in those eight years. This Sgure re- presented 73.5 per cent. of all the Canadian borrowings during the period. But the coming of the war and the consequent disturbances of world financial conditions completoly altered the aspect of foreign imvest- ments in Canada. In the eight-year period from 1915 to 1022, inclusive of both years, Canada borrowed in Great Britain only £88,899,053, or 2 per cent. of all its borrowings during that period. At the same time the United States' percentage of the total grew from 9 per cent to 38 per cent. From 1907 to 1914 United States bankers loaned Cana- dian enterprises $182,400,883, which was 9 per cent. of Canada's total borrowings in that period. From 1914 to 1922 the total of American jloans to Canada was $1,430,120,455, or 33 per cent. of the total. The result of this pouring of Unit- od States capital into Canada and the practical cessation of British in- vestments there has been to give a different tone to Canadian capital in- vestments. It is estimated that Unit- ed States capital into Canada and the practical cessation of British investments there has been to give a different tone to n capital fovestments. It is estimated that United States investors hold $701,- 000,000 of Canadian government and municipal bonds. This is 17.8 per cent: of the total. in 1922 the total increased by $155,000,000, in- dicating that the movement is con- tinuing, and, in fact, is more sizable in Ms dimensions ; British {avestments in Canadian pub- lic bonds, which before the war were undoubtedly over 50 per cent. of tae total, are estimated to be only 13.8" per cent. of the total of outstanding or $511,000,000--a figure the United States. VACATION DAYS Wrap in a haze of dreams; Following flights of a busy bee, Soothed with pastoral scenes. List'ning to music the binders play, Watching loads to the barn, Eating and sleeping like harvest hands-- Vacation days on the farm. Paddling along in a Hght canoe, Sprawled on the sand 'till baked well through Singing and playing in carefree mien, Treading the smooth dance floor, Enjoying them all with rapture keen-- Vacation days on the ghore. Lying at ease 'round the campfire bright, Fishing in lake and brook, Sleeping the sleep of the just each night, Hunting for things to cook. Roaming through glades and the shadowed dells, Threading the lowlands damp, . Getting fed up with the whole blamed thing Wishing you were back home Busting out to get back on the job, Yearning for work to do.
