Aa important step im advertising the United States is about to be taken. The Bureau of Commercial Eecono- mics of the Department of Public Instruction, in Washington, has se- cured the temporary services, for a period of six months, of Mr. Frank Yeigh to lecture on the Dominion in the chief centres of the States, and before representative bodies' such as universities and colleges, commercial and industrial. organizations, Cana- dian clubs over the border, commer- cial clubs, rotary clubs, and similar groups. : The bureau is to be congratulated on engaging Mr. Yeigh for this work, for he is peculiarly well qualified to ably represent Canada and to make an effective presenta- tion of our national resources and wealth and our industrial and ¢om- mercial progress. His rson¥l knowledge of the countpy lectures and books on fhe subject equip him for this larger field, in which be will be able to do excellent missionary work across the bound- ary line, covering the country from Chicago to the south. The Bureau of Commercial Econ- omic is an extensive and important organization, having for its object the making known of various coun- tries and processes of manufacture to interested gatherings, and is re- sponsible for supplying thousands ef lectures on a wide variety of themes to many thousands of its citizens. It has the co-operation of the United States Government, through the De- partment of Education, and is di- rected by an advisory council of men of international distinction in many lines of life. Universities, and col- leges as well as commercial and in- dustrial organizations are co-operat- ing agencies, ®resulting in a dissem- ination of knowledge of countries and other topics of wide extent and far-reaching influence. It is under- stood that the Canadian Government is facilitating the work of the bu- reau in thé collection of moving pic- ture films of Canadian life and scen- ery, which will be at the disposal of Mr. Yeigh in his lectures, The director of the bureau, Mr. Francis Holley, is a gentleman of distinction who has travelled widely over the world, and who has just completed a 17,000-mile trip over Canada as the guest of the Domin- ion Government, returning with a deep appreciation of all he saw and a new enthusiasm for our country. In securing the #érvices of Mr. Yeigh the bureau has, as has been said, gained the services of the man best qualified to represent this coun- try. He will present a seties of Can- adian travelogues, with both moving and stereoptican pictures, to large and important gatherings in the chief cities of the Middle and Central West "and Atlaptic | seaboard, also visiting the south latér on. He opens his tour at the Maryland Agricul- tural- College. Canada is also tobe congratulated on this opening for Canadian public- ity on a large and effective scale and before important gatherings of key men. The best of 'results should, and no doubt will, follow; not only in making Canada known more in- telligently to our American friends, but in securing capital, investments, and industries, as well as visitors who may see for themselves the won- ders of the Dominion. A Now Industry, Not the least prominent of Can- ada's post-war industries is that of the manufacture of steel window casements, which has been taken up' with marked success by at least one ls what you want Canadian firm. This is one in- stance where Canada has set out to supply markets deprived of their re- gular source of supply by the war. Steel windows are being exported to the United States in considerable volume for use in the large office and store buildings. This article was formerly bought almost exclusively from British firms, with a small per: centage of the trade going to Bel- glans and Germans. Since August, 1914, however, no steel casements have been sent from Europe, as all shipments of metal are now going eastward acress the Atlantic. It was early in 1914 that one firm started the manufacture of steel win- dow frames, although this branch of their industry had been under con- sideration for years. Although the industry was on a small scale for a time after war broke out, it has made material growth within the last few months. The manufacture of steel sashes has more than doubled in the last year, and this firm has sold more up till August 1 of this year than during the entire twelve months of 1915. All modern factory buildings and warehouses are using the steel sash, and an estimate of the rate of in- crease is about fifteen per cent. a month at present. Something like $50,000 worth of sashes and hig AVIATION COURTESIES of Warfare in the Air. describes a remarkable air which he witnessed between a British "Our the former was the victor. aviator came to earth says, "and instantly ran over-to the latter's wrecked machine, whose pilot was stone-dead. He was a giant of a man, someone of means, for he wore a really beautiful fur coat, and on his hands were diamond ahd other rings which must have been of great value. "A little to my surprise, the Brit. ish airman proceded to strip the dead man of his coat, and then to, remove his rings and other jewellery, which he packed into a sort of tin canister. Just as he had finished, an officer of the corps came up and inquired: 'Got everything? 'Yes,' replied the flyer. And the officer said, 'Right-o! oft with you." Then, to my further sur- prise," adds the Canadian, "our aviator put the tin canister on his machine, and, hardly pausing a min- ute, flew straight over the German lines, keeping so low that he would have been an easy target even for a rifle, but waving his handkerchief as he went. When he was over the Huns he dropped the canister, then wheeled and flew slowly back, while 2 German party ran out to pick up the utensil. I'm told that a courtesy of this kind nearly always follows the bringing down of a pilot om either side, and that the airman who conveys back his opponent's pro- perty flies in a certain fashion that rerzals the nature of his errand." Russian Weddings. Two Greek orthodox church wed- dings were solemnized in Toronto recently. The Russian marriage ceremony is a lengthy one, and 'an hour was used in getting the young couples firmly tied in matrimony. The chojy takes a leading part in the ceremony. Among the customs ob- served is the placing of rings upon fingers of both bride and bridegroom and the tieing of their arms, one to the other by a silken scarf by which the officiating priest leads them about the centre of the church several times. The only mishap was the ig- nition of the voluminous veil of one of the brides, a lighted candle in the hands of one of her attendants causing the trouble. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the 'bad luck" of the incident brought the bride to tears. SCROFULA AND ALL HUMORS GIVE WAY There are many things learned from experience and observation that the older generation should impress upon the younger. Among them is the fact that scrofula and other humors, which produce eczema, boils, pimples and other eruptions, can be most success- fully treated with Hood's Sarsapa- rilla. This great medicine is a peculiar combination of remarkably effective blod-pnrifying and health-giving roots, barks and herbs, which are gathered especially for it. Hood's Sarsaparilla has stood the test of forty years. Get a bottle today--now--from your nearest drug store.
