In every sort of oeeupsttion the personal 'equation cannot be ignored; there is 1 need of sympathy between the human factors, there is room for the amen- ities, and colleagues ought to be friends.

Before the war there was practi- cally no production of molybdenito in Canada. with the exception of a few tons of ore taken out on possibly two occasions. " few promising deposits and numerous occurrences of the min- eral were already known, and the war demand led to the active development of the better known of these and the systematic prospecting of numerous occurrences of the mineral. The close of the war quickly cut off the market that had been developed and left large supplirs of the mineral on the hands of mineral brokers and consumers in England. Prices at once declined nnd Canadian operations ceased. Canada has many production re- cords to her credit and this is espe- cially so in the mineral field. The world's largest amber mica, plumbsgo, nickel, asbestos and other mines are situated in Canada, while during the war many other minerals were in such great demand that individual mines overcame all handicaps and met the acute needs with a prompt- nose that was of very material help in providing war materials. One of these latter minerals was molybden- ite, the sulphlte of molybdenum. The metal, molybdenum, finds its greatest use as an alloy for steel, which it strengthens and consequently reduces the weight required. In electrical work molybdenum replaces platinum to a large extent at a much reduced cost. It is extensively used in radio work.

High'omcers tarry Nelson's banner and trapping: and a military excort follows the car, while a great company of heroes are marshelled round about. A bell foils and at ln‘arvals a gun is fire-l. The body is borne to St. Paul’s. and the ceremony changes into a thanksgiving for the glorious dead. It is an unforgettable epic, superbly staged and profoundly impressive. From the stadium the Empire looks down upon its splendid and heroic his- tory. There is a great theatre ot land and sea. of plain and mountain. and on to this vast stage come men and wo. men ot old time, kings. queens, cour- tiers, soldiers, statesmen and party adventurers.

If the 1928 catch of herringe, 35 tons were used fresh, 6.005 cues were canned, 22% tons were smoked, 37,- 139 tons (net weight) were dry salted, 21,721 barrels were pickled, 165,133 barrels were use drug bait, and 72,465 barrels, were used as bait, and 72,465 The Orient is the chief mnrket for herring, which, to meet this demand, are dry ulted only.

It is claimed by fish- ermen that the supply of herring is ample Ind that there ig no likelihood of depletion due to the large ukings.
