Men see the results of thes work so much more, while much of a woman‘s work is mere routine.

Remarkable Increase in Export Trade. This forms a logical point fron which to survey the Dominion‘s trad« with Belgium and note the substan tial increase the postâ€"War era has brought in the volume of exports go ing from Canada to Betgium.

Though the greater part of the various coal fields has been studied in a genmeral way, yet their extent is so great that detailed inve=> tigations by the Geological Survey have been limited to a relatively small part of the whole. The great extent of the Canadian coal fields is apparent when it is realized that basins of coalâ€" bearing strata extend almost continuâ€" ously for a length of 700 miles withim the eastern part of the Rocky mounâ€" tains and adjoining foothills. . The coals of this region are rargely bitamâ€" inous or semiâ€"anthracite and seams ten to fifteen fee:r in thickness are common. In addition, thousands of equare miles of the prairie country of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are underlain by strata holding workâ€" able seams of lignite and bituminous coals, and important coal fields occur in British Columbia both in the inâ€" terior and on the Pacific coast, while highly developed coal fields occur in the east in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, in some cases at tide water. trade with nearly fAfty foreign coun. tries, into many of which her goods gecure especially favorable entry.
