> Puature. e Promising Increasing. Number. of Press Dispatches Throughout World All Point to Can- 's Increasing - Importance The strongest assurance of immedi-' -ate and future expansion of Canadian indusfry is seen in the remarkable 'number and the nature of press dis- patches issued during the past month, ) emanating chiefly from Ottawa, Lon- don, Washington and New York. Confirming as they do. the indica- tions of accelerated British and American interest In the establish ment of branch factories in Canada, another important feature of these press reports fs that they, in them- selves, represent very valuable publi city for the Dominion and the ad- vantages to be derived by the loca- tion in this country of new industries. For the Canadian public, too, the reports have a special 'Interest. They serve as reminders that the expan- slon of existing Industries and the establishment of new ones signify the investment of new capital in the pro- ductive use of the country's resources, increased employment, the desirable growth of population, a.larger mar- ket for agricultural produce and raw 3 materials, increased purchasing pow- 'er and all the other concomitants of economic growth. . "Every branch of this kind adds to the economic. and ondustrial growth of a young country", says a Canadian Press dispatch from New York, quot- isg an official of a Canadian bank resident in that cit "Employment is given to Canadian labor, and such industrial enterprises, even if origin- ating with capital supplied by a friendly neighbor, soon pass as thor- oughly naturalized units into the great body of Canadian industries, furnish- ing in that respect a parallel to the early history of many Amevican in- dustries and transportation arterizs," The importance to Great Britain of industrial expansion in Canada has, been emphasized by the Canadian Minister of Trade and Commerce in the British press, it is learned from a cable telling of a published inter- view in which the Minister explains the relation existing between the de- velopment of the vast industrial pos sibilities of the Dominion and the movement of British people in future years. This relationship has also been stressed by te Prime Minister of Ontario, who, while observing that the matter of migration is condition- ed at present by world-wide causes, states that industrial enterprise will make a vital contribution to the meeded adjustment. Following the addresses. made by the Prime Minis- ter of the Dominion to British manu- facturers and other important groups in London recently, the wide atten- tion thus directed to opportunities for the expansion of Canadian trade and industry is of the greatest im- portance. Recognition of the benefits that fol- low industrial expansion is seen in the activities of industrial commis- sions, industrial development boards, industrial committees of Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, and similar organizations, From the Maritime Provinces clear across the Dominion * to British Columbia, all glve abundant evidence of the renew- ed vigour which is being applied in dealing with the problems of indus- trial expansion, the collection and dis- tribution of data concerning opport- unities for particmiar types of indus- tries. That the Dominion will reap tremendous advantages from these activities, consistently pursued, is a foregone conclusion. And these same activities are contributing in the most definite way to the founda- tion of a new era in Canadian pro- gress.

Neck and Shoulder Neuritis Attacks Closed Car Drivers Automobile drivers in France have fallen prey to the disease of neuritis of the neck and shoulders, according to a report of the American Medical Association, It is said to attack per- sons driving closed cars who have gained the habit of leaving the window on their side open so thédt they may signal with their hands for turns and sudden stops. Operators of Jeft-drive automobiles are sald to have been affected on the left side of the neck while drivers of right-drive vehicles are troubled on the right side.

"Food Plentiful But Coarse" Says English Tourist in Russia Soviet Now Welcomes Tourists From Other Countries But Visitors Are Closely Watched and Guarded Now that the Soviet authorities are allowing, and indeed encouraging, the visits of tourists from other countries, it is interesting to compare the dif- ferent accounts of their experiences published by these hardy pioneers. It must be clearly understood that it is practically impossible for any tourist to see behind the scenes of Russian life. Watched and guarded by official "guides' and surrounded by spies from the moment they leave the boat at Leningrad until the end of the official- ly conducted tour, it 1s not surprising that the general impression is that the U.S.S.R. have no intention of showing their sores in public and that they carefully conceal the grimmest aspect of communist life behind a veil of seeming normality. Capt. Owen Tweedy, writing in the Fortnightly Review an account of his travels, under the auspices of the Soviet Republic, rightly sums up the official aspect when he says: Russia is quite as suspicious of out- siders, as outsiders are of Russia; in- deed to fill up an application for a nor- mal visa to enter the country is tan- tamount to telling the story of one's life. But Russian policy to-day is to encourage tourists: and a tourist visa is comparatively easy. "Only," says the Soviet, "no visa unless you take our tourist excursions.' I was one among four hundred other inquisitives on a Baltic cruise, who accepted the Soviet terms, All of us got in, save three unfortunate parsons, who were described on their passports as "Min- isters of Religion.' "Ministers" are highly political in Russia, and religion fs taboo, Three other clerics were wiser in their generation. "Clerks" work in offices: what "Holy Orders" convey to a Russian, goodness only knows. Anyhow, the three "Clerks in Holy Orders" sailed in. Aften endless delay over passport regulations and the changing of money in Russian roubles, all tourists are divided Into small parties conducted by English-speaking and efficient guides (nearly all women) who can be expected to introduce with the tact of a good hostess, a sufficient amount of propaganda to make the trip worth while--from the Soviet point of view. All inconvenient incidents are explain- ed away or carefully ignored. An amusing exainple of this is given by the writer in the Spectator: As our car stopped, the driver of a pasging lorry shook his fist at us and shouted uncomplimentary words at our chauffeur. The latter sprang out out of the car, ran to the lorry and took its number. We learnt subse quently that the authorities specially desire to make a good impregsion npon foreign visitors, and that the offend- er would be dealt with appropriately. As one of the guides hurriedly Te ked, "such incidents gave t a bad and wrong impression of Rus- sia." The food provided for tourists is plentiful but coarse, and if the soup is greasy and uninviting to the epicur- jan, he may on the other hand con- sole hmself with a generous helping] of caviare. The hotel accommodation is also adequate, and cleanliness is in- sisted upon. Indeed the freshly wash- ed white blouses of the men going about their ordinary business ls in pleasing contrast to the filthy rags of the Tsarist peasant. As a further en- couragement to civilized behavior, the following notice is posted in one of the big Co-operative restaurants: Behave Yourself At Table 1.--~Wash your hands before eating. 2.--Do not put your hat on the table, 3.--Do not help yourself to salt with your fingers, 4.--Do not share the same plate with another person. ette ends on the table. 6.--Do not spit or quarrel at meals. Despite the efforts of the authori- ties to bring a semblance of prosperity to their cities and the genuine care given to the upkeep of their museums and state institutions, the whole as- pect of Lenningrad and Moscow is one of neglect and decay. As Capt. Tweedy says: Leningrad itself was like Soissons or Armentieres in 1918, The streets were weed-grown and pitted: the cob- bles had lost all symmetry: they had not been touched for years. And the houses were utterly in keeping, There was no plaster on the walls, no paint on the woodwork, and the windows were cracked and dirty. The only shops were Government shops: out- ide them were long dreary queues, abod' was written black over thi§ tenement town. Of these queues much has been writs ten in the past, and indeed Russians must spend more than a quarter of their working day lining up at the various Co-operative stores, first for their food tickets and then for the usually inadequate supply of provi- sions! As an example of this, a writer in the Star says: I walked down a typical cgbbled street this morning. Nearly all the shops, except a few dirty tailors' places, were "Co-operatives," and had the usual long queue outside of wo- men with baskets. "You're not in the right order. You've pushed your way in," shouted a red-faced woman to a thin woman. "You liar, I've been here since six o'clock this morning," was the reply. Posted up in the window was a no- tice, "No Milk To-day." A little fur- ther on, in a Co-operative Butcher's shop I saw the words scribbled in an untidy handwriting, "Meat to-day only in small portions for people with man- ual workers' tickets and for children." No wonder that the forgers of man- ual workers' tickets are doing a roar- Ing, trade! 1 "pushed my way through shopping crowds to the small square in the open air market where the private traders, who are frowned upon by the Bolshe viks, sell their wares. There was an old pair of trousers going for 60s. "Buy some meat. Two roubles (4s.) a pound!" shouted a butcher to me, brushing away he flies from the dirty scraps of bone and flesh littered upon 'his wooden trestle. A peasant woman sat on the ground with a little attache case of the kind one buys in Woolworth's, A small crowd had gathered round her.

"Fine butter, - eight od somehody, | other. | B6.--Do not scatter crumbs and ¢ igar- going | contents were, two or three any por- roubles (16s.) a pound," she sald. Most of the peoplé shrugged their shoulders and walked away. It must be confessed, however, that although the Russian worker of to-day is poor and still inadequately housed, although he stands for hours in the queues for his food, and luxuries are unknown, his mental recreation is well cared for. Opera and plays are accessible to him, very often free, He can visit the various museums and be told the history of the exhibits, When in need of a holiday he can go to one of the excellent rest houses on the is- lands surrounding Leningrad. Only the tourist, as he struggles through the customs at the end of his too well conducted tour, wonders if Russia has merely exchanged one tyranny for an- "Review of Reviews." remiss m-- Grew Up With Railway To follow the growth ofa great cor- poration from its early days of strug- gle to the attainment of fame as the world's greatest privately-owned trans: portation system has been the lot of George T. Coleman, recently appoint: ed to the post of superintendent of transportation of eastern lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with head- quarters in Montreal. Born in 1875 at Carleton Place, Ont, then, as now, the junction of the Ottawa and Brockville lines, he grew up watching switching operations in the local yards, and in 1893 joined the company's service as agent and operator on the Lake Su- perior Division and travelled from coast to coast in the performance of his duties in the ensuing years. Thus, he was stationed at North Bay, Carle ton Place, Sudbury, Revelstoke, Schreiber, White River, and Chapleau. From 1911 to 1916 he was at Moose Jaw, and in January, 1916, was moved to Toronto as car service agent, com- ing to Montreal in 1918 as inspector of transportation, from which appoint- ment he is promoted to his present position, -------- 3 Men Can Push Engine : Weighing 417,500 Lbs.

J. Kirby, of Baltimore, who recently reported four cases he had examiWed to the American Medical Association. When a pitcher winds up, Dr. Kirby points out, the arm is frequently bent at the elbow joint. When the ball leaves the hand the arm is straighten- ed and rotated very rapidly to give the necessary twist to the ball in throwing curves and "drop" balls. This acts mechanically, Dr. Kirby explains, to bring the corner of the head of the lower-arm bone, called the radius, violently against the end of the bone of the upper arm, called.the humerus. In all of the four cases examined, the result was found to be a small piece of hone at the end of the radius chipped off, much as a small piece of the bone handle of a cane or umbrella may be broken off by a sharp blow such as dropping on a stone sidewalk. The loose chip of bone inside the joint then proceeds to give great pain and to cause inflammation so that it requires removal by a surgical opera- tion. The muscles and bones of the hu- man body have been developed side by side in the process of evolution, so that even extreme contractions of the muscles seldom are able to break the bones upon which the muscles depend for support. But activities like that of throwing baseballs, with sharp breaking curves to fool the eyes of the batter, are new things in evolution, and may subject the muscles or bones to new trials for which Nature has not provided. Often, complaints of pains about the knee joints and sometimes about the' backbone itself,, made by tennis players, have been traced to chipped edges of the bones, which cause the same kind of inflammation and pain. | oe -- | Nativity Now that the winter sky was cold And breath of oxen hung more white Than starshine or that candlelight, Her hour was come, who sensed no gold Nor: frankincense nor any myrrh In darkness closing over her.
