Writing in Comets, Walter Davenport suggests that the best, value of all may. be found in used cars.

So far as value to the dealer is concerned. a car has depre- ciated in value between 30 per cent, and 40 per cent after a year of normal wear. But it has not been driven more than 10 per cent to 15 per cent of its normal possible mileage. Therefore if you buy a car at from 60 per cent to 70 per cent of its usual cost after it has been in use for a year you are buying between 85 per cent and 95 9- - __ mun. per cent of its original mileage. This E is obviously a bargain, and is not the I sort of bargain that is to be had in I any new car. Speaking generally, the 1 person who buys used cars from a re- 1 putable dealer is just as likely to be ‘ satisfied at the end of the year as the 1 man who buys a new car. Statistics collected on this point by a large Detroit manufacturer showed that 85 per cent of purchasers of used cars were satisfied while only a few claimed that they had been the victims of mis- . representation by dealers. 1 Dealer’s Reputation Important There is no longer anything to be i 'apologetic about in buying a used car, for a banker mentioned by Mr.‘ Davenport buys two used cars a year: for $3,500 each which cost a year ear-* lier $5,000. But it is much easier toi be fooled when buying a car whose! history is unknown. There may be! hidden deficiences unsuspected by the! dealer who buys the car and therefore? not communicated to the purchaser.‘ Should this happen in a new car the: purchaser has redress, but if the! used car is not guaranteed for a oer-i tain length of time it may be difiicultl . to locate the responsible person.‘ . Therefore, the writer says that the . greatest attention should be paid to the reputation of the dealer, and this being satisfactory, it is a wise thing ' to spend $10 for the advice of a motor 3 mechanic who will spend a couple of < s i i 1 not cordial to the mechanic, a wise move is to go to some other dealer. The Engine Is the Car The main thing one is buyingin a car is an engine. The least impbrtant things are enamel, paint and uphols- tery. yet it is these non-essentials that are likely to impress the unsophisti- cated purchaser, just as it may be the flower holder that charms his wife and makes her forget to count the wheels. out of alignment as the result of an accident.

THE BRITISH HARVESTERS THAT LEFT CANADA Great expectations were kindled when nearly 9, 000 men left England, several months ago, to help reap the great Canadian harvest, but now they have been blasted for some, it seems, because only about 3,000 of that number have remained in Canada. cent of the harvesters settled per- manently in the Dominion. Yet, as the London Times points out, any one who wishes to form a fair appreciation1 of this example of mass emigration, .must look more carefully at the causes of its apparently slight success. The return home of the earlier batches of farm workers, numbering some hund- reds, may properly be ascribed, we are assured, to a natural and necessary elimination of weaklings and trouble- seekers. As to the others that returnâ€" ed, it is stated that a considerable per centage of these men were mar- at i'ied, and vunder a. signed obligation to their wives to return home, and The Times continues: “A still larger proportion went ad- mittedly on a trial run to gain ex- perience of Canadian conditions, and their return implies, not dissatisfaction but the feeling that they would have a much better chance of making good if ‘ they went to Canada at the beginning, rather than at the end of the season. This explains why the Dominion au- thorities and the British Government Departments concerned, have already received over 600 applications from returned men for inclusion in the number of assisted settlers to go to Canada next 'spring. Provided that their return was due to reasonable caution, and not to slackness or phyâ€" sical defects, they will form an admir- w- â€"- “vâ€"w ' able meet; for- 5,000 to 6,000 trained ing the next six months. In this con-. nection it must not be forgotten that return was made easier than ever be- fore. Not only were reduced passages granted but the British authorities, in the justifiable determination that no man should be left on the hands of the Canadian authorities, actually paid the passages home of those who [had not saved enough to pay for Ethemselves, and deprived none of their |e1igibility for the benefits of the Bri- itish social services.” We are then informed of an agree-i ment between the British and Cana-l dian Governments, to grant free pas-E sage to boys under nineteen years of; age, who are destined to work oni farms, and it is predicted that this‘ should give fresh opportunities to! those who too often have passed theiri ladolescence in blind-alley occupations!

And of this money 3 great part can be supplied only through the pur- chase of new shares by investors. Necessary plans cannot be made unless the is assurance that money may be obtained in the future to complete than. IN the telephone business it is essential that plan: be made for years ahead. There must be cables and conduflzs and central ex- changes before new telephones an go in. To wait until people are clamoring for service is too late. Such projects in the past have been undertaken be- cause the company has been confident of securing money from investors to put the new equipment into full service. the future becomes impossible. The telephone system does not need, and will not seek, all the seventy-five million of new capital pro- vided for in its amendment now, nor next year, nor the year after. It may not need it all for a good many years. But it does need now the assurance that it will be able WHEN the telephone company began in 1880 it had authority to sell shares to investors up to half a million dollars, but with the growth of the 'system this authority has been extended by parlia- ment. This has happened, on an average, every elght years since 1880. The last amendment by parliament was in 1920. Another amendment is necessuy now be- cause, of the seventy-five million of shares set in 1920, less than ten million now remain for the com- pany to offer to investors.
