SHE. to articles the average be affected prices for possibility next year, Should this prediction be fulfilled the Dominion would benefit in a var- fety of ways, but generally through wider markets in the Orlent for both natural and manufactured products, In considering this it should be kept in mind that of about eighteen hund. red million human. beings on this earth some twelve hundred million do not know gold as a standard of value, Silver is their standard. In India for example if a native worker is pald a bank note for his services be immed- fately rushes to change the paper into silver rupees, To him, that is the only real money, In China a somewhat sim- ilar situation @xists and silver is their only recognized standard of value, Would it not thus appear that an in. crease in the price for silver would have the effect of increasing the pur- chasing power of these and other countries using. the silver standard? This conclusion seems natural, China for example through the increased price would get more for her metal of which she has a hugh stock and would therefore be able to buy more merchandise etc, As a Professor of Economics at one of Canada's leading Universities has stated, silver is be- gihning to move through Shanghai metal in Europe and America, China will amass gold credits or possibly sterling credits, In view of the high price of gold bullion it seems unlikely that there will be any marked move. and through proceeds of sale of this SILVER AS IT AFFECTS CANADA ---------------------- N The United States recent move in the remonetization of silver continues create a good deal of discussion both for and against the plan and many of interest have appeared on the subject in various publications. To U Canadian citizen it may appear that all the hullabulo gbout the White Metal" is of little interest tp them and while the individual may not directly through higher prices for silver, it is certain that from a national standpoint they should be very much interested in the subject ag it would seem certain that Canada stands to benefit considerably should world the metal go higher, That this seems likely is the opinion expres- sed by many experts who figure that ,75 cents or even $1.00 per ounce is a ment of that metal to China, but ra- ther that exports of merchandise from Europe and America will be made, among which are Canadian wheat and lumber, as well as manufactured pro- ducts. The same authority says that with the Dominion Government com- mitted to a fairly heavy purchase of silver that China may sell us silver and buy our products in exchange, From another angle any further in. crease in the price of silver is likely to lead to several old silver produc- ing companies resuming operations, which will, of course, result in em. ployment for a number of people and in other ways to increased business for mining supply houses, etc, More important, however, from a mining standpoint is the increased in- terest which has already been making itself evident in the Great Bear Lake district, the only new silver field dis- covered in recent years, Activity has increased during the current season in this section and any further ad- vance in the price of silver would un- doubtedly lead to intensified efforts in the area, in turn resulting In fur- ther employment and purchasing of supplies of various kinds, Thus in a number of ways, Canada stands to benefit materially from{ higher prices for silver, so that individuals, both di- rectly and indirectly should also be keenly interested in developments in connection with the remoetization of the "White Metal,"? Ontario Mineral Output Gains Mineral production from Ontario mines for the first six months of 1934 amounted to $48,709,866,00 compares with $32,662,611.00 for the same period in 1933, Of the above to- tal, gold production amounted to $21, 503,242,00 and fit is interesting to note that these figures are taken on basis of the old standard rate of 520,67 per ounce. In other words the half yearly output would show an even greater increase than at first appears, Nickel was the next largest item on the list with $16,016,000,00 while cop- per at $7,626,300.00 was third, The report prepared by the Ontario Department of Mines for the hall which year, from which the above figures were taken, states that the increase in tonnage milled by gold mining com- panies with a decline in per ounce re- covery indicates that lower grade ores are being treated by the larger pro- ducers, Construction Volume Advances Coritracts awarded for the month of August show an increase of 21 per cent over July and 11 per cent in. crease over June, The figures for the Dominion of Canada, as compiled hy MacLean Building Reports Ltd, am- ounted to $13,643,900, for August, $11. | 190,600 for July, and $12,208,900 for June, The total value of contracts awarded for the first eight months of shtal domination, lack of will power STOO TOOT XO ) LBRO ; v, J - % an Bay St, \cs, f O0OCX ESATA Rlgin 5492-34 SANNA AIAN AIA AAA ANA RR I RRA RRR og ' ; : : 15 i MacFarlane Long Lac BS EY % i Bought -- Sold -- Quoted PS 3 . : % 5 LORSCH & CO. & *t MEMBERS THE TORONTO STOCK' EXCHANGE % Toronto PITT "feet. ---- the year amounts to $85,651,100 as compared with $55,043,800 for the same period in 1933, an increase of 37.4 per cent, inces with a total of $4,918,400 while Ontario followed closely with $4,217, 200 for the month. McColl Frontenac Oil The agressive sales policy being pursued by McColl Frontenao Oll Co,, Ltd,, is reported to be bringing excel. lent results and it is anticipated that the company will obtain its full share of 'business from the increased con. sumption of fuel and lubricating oils, Earnings for the past four years have been well ahead. of dividend require- ments for the preferred and common stocks and in some quarters it is ex. pected, that, before long, some in- crease jn disbursments on the com- mon stock may he anticipated, Siscoe Gold Mines In handling 10,319 tons in August, Siscoe Gold Mines, Ltd, established a vew high record, the previous best be- ing 10,259 tons in March, Production for the month 'amounted to $174,857 which compares with $146,620 for the same month in 1933 and $181,294 in July this year. All figures are based on gold at $35.00 MacFarlane Long Lac Mines Most recent reports coming from this: company's property in the Long Lac Area continue to be of a very op- timistie nature, particularly regarding traced for a length of over two hun. dred feet, with average width running over sixteen feet, ' The mineralized zone lies between the grey quartz porphyry of the foot. wall to the north and the chlorite schist hanging wall to the south. The strike of the veln is east-west with a dip to the south, The find is reported as being one of the most impressive "| looking in the district and northern buying is said to be largely respon- sible for the recent strength and ac- tivity in the shares, Rouyn Reward Mines _ This company Is reported aus having awarded contract for five thousand ft, of diamond drilling on its property adjoining Pontiac Rouyn in Rouyn Township, Quebec. Surface showings are sald. to be very encouraging and drilling will test conditions at depth, Should drilling results warrant it, a shaft will probably be started after drilling contract is completed, Coniaurum Mines, Ltd. Exploration at this company's pro- perty is recently reported to have picked up a new orebody on the 1000 foot level, west of the Goldale shaft, At time of writing ore length Is said to be 280 feet, while on the 1250 foot level, what appears to be the same vein has been drifted on for over 40 feet and width averaging ten feet with values running .4 oz, per ton. George Weston, Ltd. It is reported that this company's earnings for the current year arc run. ning well ahead of 1933 when they were $342,174 as against $137,322 in 1932. The company during the depres. sion years acquired modern plants in Canada, Great Britain and the United States at greatly depreciated prices and has consolidated these into a smooth and profitable orgarijzation, while other companies in the same line were operating in the red, The company has 174,136 common shares outstanding, Long Lac Adair Mines Further discoveries are reported from the Temagami property of Long Lac Adair Mines 'Ltd, by manager Frank Leslie, who states that north of the hill where the Number five vein faulted, after having been traced for a length of thirteen hundred and twen- ty-five feet, a new vein was picked up, Work on this vein has Indicated a length of seven hundred feet at which point it runs into Cooks Lake, At the 'time of report, sufficient work has not béen done to give details but vein ap- pears to carry a lot of sulphides, An- other 'vein, known as number eight, showing six feet of heavy sulphides was also uncovered this week and had been opened up for a length of forty August Railway Reports Gross revenues of the Canadian Na. tional Railways system for ten days ending August 31st, were $4,886,852, an increase of $48,923 over the same period in 1983, - Earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway for week erniding August 30th, totalled. $3,948,000 an increase of $422. 000 over the same week last year, McMillan Gold Mines Thé new 125 ton mill at this comp- any's property in the West River min. eral area has been brought into pro- duction and will gradually be brought up, to its full capacity.

The experiment points to hormone unbalance as a definite causg of the benign breast tumors, male and fe- male, "Both new dlagnostic procedures and new modes of therapy are sug- gested," says- the report, which is 'made by Charles F, Geschiker, M.D., Dean Lewis, M,D., former president of the American Medical Association and Carl B, Hartman, The non.malignant breast growths werg produced in monkeys at Johns Hopkins by giving them a sex hor- mone, oestrin, this is a temale hor- mone, but it induced the tumerous growths even in male monkeys, The fact that men's glands also produce small amounts of this female hormone is cited to show that oestrin upsets may account for this type of tumor in the male human, Assays or biological tests also showed the pre- sence of this hormone concentrated in excess in women with the benign breast troubles, } - These oestrin observations slrength- en the suspicion that hormone un- balance has something to do with be nign breast tumors, They show too, that it is not an occasional great ex- cess of oestrin that causes the tum- ors, but "prolonged and yninterrupted stimulation by oestrin." The milk hormone prolactin which caused disappearance of male hreast tumor is now being tried on female breast tumors of similar benign char. acter, Four types of this non-fatal tumor were studied, They were gynecomas- tia, which occurs most frequently in white males between the ages of 30 and 40, virginal hypertrophy, fibosar- coma and cystic disease, The report said there might possibly be some connection also between qestrin and fibrosarcoma, a rare kind of breast cancer, Further Radio Control Seen SEEe BAR SESSION -- AFFECTS CHARACTER, QUALITY OF SERVICE. u.s. Milwaukee, Wis,--Additional regu. lation of communications affecting the "character, quality and quantity" of radio broadcasting service was pre dicted in a report discussed by an Amerjcan Bar Association committee, The association's committee on communications which forecast last year passage of legislation creating a federal communications commission well in advance of the introduction of the Dill.-Rayburn bill will present its report to the association conven- tion which opens here, Explaining the expected changes in regulations will evolve from the re- quirement that .the commission sub. mit to Congress recommendations for new legislation on all phases of fits activity, the report says "the commer. clal consequences of the commission's regulations will be far reaching, but in all probability the social conse- quences will be even greater" "With the Communications Act of 1934 us the foundation, there will be erected thereon a (further extension of the law, and It is this material which will truly determine the char- acter of regulation sought te be exer- cised," the report says, "On the part of the new commis- sion, the rules, regulations and pro- cedural methods established by it, will substantially affect not only the great investments already made in tho communication field, and the com- mercial telephone, telegraph and ra- dio gervice available, but also the character, quality and quantity of ra- dio broadcasting service received by the people of the country."

Soon after I entered the publish- ing business I thought it might not be a bad idea to read in advance some of the books to be brought out by the. firm with which I was con- nected. At least, ig would make a good impression, : I put in a request, therefore, for a set of galleys of a certain book the publication of which was some months in the offig. There was a complete description of it in the cata- logue; there was a contract covering it, signed and in the safe; there was a jacket drawing in the manufactur- ing department against the day when salesmen's dummies should be made up, and the author, I knew, had re- ceived a substantial advance. But no one, I discovered, had so much as seen the manuscript. It wasn't even in existence -- at leas not in its entirety, The author was working on it, the editor had seen the first two chapters and a resume of the rest. » * LJ 1 learned later, of course, that this procedure is very common in publishing and has resulted in some of the finest books on the market today--and some of the worst, A publisher finds, for example, that there is some phase of world politics, some aspect of history, some interpretation of art, on which there is little or no information available outside the strictly techni- cal or academic publications. He feels that there should be, that there is a market for it, that there are many people who would be interested in reading about such a phase or aspect or interpretation, - He looks over the field of writers who know something about the sub- feels by training and experience is competent to do the kind of book that he has in mind and who is not other- wise tied up with another publisher. He arranges a conference with the writer, perhaps takes him to lunch-- a hallowed publishing tradition -- and presents the idea to him. They talk it over. The writer gocs home, makes a rough working out- line of what he thinks the [uook should be, maybe writes a chipter or two. Editor «nd writer confer again; revise, discuss and finally come to an agreement. A contract 1s signed and the author gets an ad- vance on royalty. * » LJ And again there are times when a publisher is confronted with a pro- blem something like this;Perhaps at a house party or at a bar or in a country jail he has met some one who has been the hero of a series of ad- ventures that would make thrilling reading. This man may have looked upon strange corners of the globe or done things no man has done before. But he is not a writer, It is at this point that the editor intervenes with the proper solution of the problem--a "ghost writer." Time was when a ghost writer was one of those persons who was known to exist, but who was never acknowledg- ed openly. Within recent years, how- ever, a much more rational attitude has sprung up 'oward this very usec- ful workman. The public has grown to realize that it is unreasonable to demand that a man should be a writer in ad- dition to being a singer, explorer, song writer, acronaut or lion tamer, The help of the: ghost writer is now openly accepted and he is frequent- ly given credit on the title page -- and quite rightly so. Theories Are Put to Test --- Trench Fighting Now Obso- lete, Strategists Maintain USE FEWER MEN Rome,--TItalian military authorities, calculating the results of the recent army manoeuvres, declared last week that trench warfare is obsolete, TROOPS MOVE FASTER This conclusion, they said results from their observations of the new rapidity in"troop movements due partly to the greatly increased use of tanks. They declared the first onslaught of tanks and fast maving troops would break through a line of trenches and force fighting out into the open. The movement would then become so rapid that there would be no opportunity to dig trenches nor would there be anything gained by digging them, : Contrasting the eventual war with the last they said that on the Western front when troops broke through, they entrenched themselves in new "ins verted V" positions as they came up against machine gun fire, FORCED RETIREMENT The opposing forces then counter: attacked on the basis of the inverted i V force the original attackers' res | tiremant. § 5 hk C5, He RPE SARA ANI A SIROTA 1 ject he selects, chooses one whom hef. + other Look Younger A Burden of Fat Gone | Here is another case where the ' trim, slim figure of youth has dis= | placed the coarse, fat outline of mid- dle age. It is a housekecper writing, She says:-- "l cennot say what weight I WAS, v but I was very, fat -- a burden to myself. I have taken three bottles of Kruschen Salts, and now I am quite slender, 1 am over 56, and people take me for 40.- I am more than proud of myself, You can take it from me that every word of this is true. I took a teaspoonrul in hot water every morning till I used three bottles. Now I only take half a tea- spoonful each morning. I cannot re- commend the Kruschen Salts enough, for they are worth their weight in gold."--(Mrs.) A, H. ; Kruschen Salts combat the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions properly--to throw off each day those waste pro- ducts and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be converted by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue, In the eventual war, the Italian ex- pert said, the attacking forces, after breaking through their enemy's lines, will not entrench but will continue to push forward with tanks. Con- sequently, the eventual war will be with the opposing forces moving back and forth much more rapidly over the battle territory with their gains and losses of ground much more con- siderable, The experts said they also expeet- ed to fight the eventual war with much fewer men at the front, one reason being a greater use of mathe- matical weapons and another the dif- ficulty of maintaining a service of supplies owing to enemy aircraft, BRITAIN ACTS London, Eng.--An increasing con- viction that another war in Europe would be more open and mechanized than conflicts of the past has fesult- ed in the creation this summer of Great Britain's first permanent tank brigade, } ' Explaining this important transfor. mation within the army, a war o/fice spokesman asserted that statements that "trench warfare has ended" are a matter of opinion. But the value of tanks ig now firmly established, he added, The ability of a large-sized tank force to make an «ffective move of 100 miles within 21 hours is no long- er disputed, he saul. But an import- ant issue, he said, is the question of how much airplanes can interfere with the uscfulness of {anks Only last week the first tank i- gade participated ir. manocuvies on the Wiltshire plains, while reconnoi- tering aireraft circled over the coun tryside across which the tanks were moving, © REFUSES TO COMMENT While admitting that the planes were brought into the wm Lime to make the effective operation of the tanks as difficult as possible, the war office spokesman declined to com- ment on the results of the manoeuv- res, Unofficiul reports, however, aid aviators found it wifficult to keep sight of the tanks once they hid de- ployed over the wooden countrysida, Three conditions tended to prevent a real test of the questions uppermost in the minds of Rritish military ay- thority. First, privately owned fences and barriers which in war time would have been an obstacle, cramped the stylesof the tanks; second, that tanks were unaided by their own fighting aircraft, which normally would interfere with enemy planes; third, in real warfare the deductions of the enemy command would he like- ly to be more confused by many re- ports of tank movements. IMPORTANT LESSON It was understood that an importang lesson learned in the manoeuvres way the ability of tanks to make changes in the direction of their movements without detection, It was also deter- mined that they can be controlled casily despite wide dispersion. The war office spokesman explain- cd that prior to this year the British army possessed only temporary, sep- arate tank units for training pur- poses. The first brigade, now a permanent establishment, comprises a total of 205 tanks divided into four battalions. Three battalions are comprised of 27 medium and 2 light tanks each, while the fourth has 58 light tanks. The concentration of tanks in one organization involves no increase in - the total strength in tanks, The ma- chines are up to 11 years' old.
