Opportunities Are Waiting Chances For Men Who Are Determined To Succeed The Sunday Express has received a despairing letter from a young Englishman who complains that there is no chance for him in this country. He is right. There is no chance for him so long as he thinks there is none. ‘The man who says “T can’t” never can., The man who says “J can” invariably can. There is a chance for every young man in this) coijuntry and in the Dominions, if he fs capable of seeing it and taking it, The British Empire is full of chances, But the chances will not come to our young man. He must go to them. There are undeveloped Eldorados at home and across the sea waiting for bold pioneers.

A large) quantity of gas under pressure is suddenly released. | A chemical explosion is the same as a fire, but takes place more rap-| idly. In this case material combines with oxygen, which it may, obtain] from the air, to form a gas and usually an ash, If the gas 1s formed} slowly it will escape as it is formed | but if it is formed rapidly it will de. | stroy all its inclosures in the attempt} to expand. The former is a fire, but [ths latter is an exploston. Coyote Fur Farms Prairie Wolf Can Be Raised In Cap- tivity and Fur Sold At Good Profit Another animal has been added to the growing list of those raised under domestic conditions for their fur. Two young boys living 90 miles northwest of Edmonton started a coyote farm in 1927 by digging young coyotes out of the ground and confining them in a pen.They got 140 young animals and when the skins were mature sold them for $12.00 each. The coyote is sometimes spoken of as the prairie wolf, but has little in common with the real wolf, He will not attack human beings or other distinction” at all until it Was dis- covered that he could be raised in captivity and his fur sold at a good| profit. | Tf we post up such signs as “glyc- eryl nitrate,” “cellulose nitrate,” | pirle acid,” “trinitrotoluene,” every workman would haye all due respect, Jeven though he had not the slightest jiden what the substances might be.

Originally developed in the vicinity of large cit- ies to supply the local markets, spe- | clalized egg farming in some sections | increased its output beyond the re- | quirements of the nearby population. Mainly through co-operative efforts, however, wider markets were obtain- | ed. This resulted in the development jof specialized egg farming communi- | ties, which are established principally \on the Pacific Coast. Despite tie rapid expansion of the | business, specialized egg farming-re- | mains a minor factor in the total pro: | | duction of eggs in the Dominion. | Farm flocks still account for a large percentage of the annual egg crop. | Milling Industry Flourishes Increase Of Nearly Six Per Cnet.

The total output of wheat flour by Canadian mills for the crop year) 1927-28, was 18,910,000 barrels. In the| previous crop yer the output was} 17,828,000 barrels, The export of| year 1927-28 was 9,865,000 barrels ‘as corn flour and meal 22,039,000 pounds. These figures are for the crop year which ended in July, 1928.

The bureau has obtained) records of more than 300 of these ex-| plosions. In 78 dust explosions 498 persons were killed, and in 106 ex- plosions, 878 were injured. In 144 cas- es the property loss amounted to $39,- 706,108, an average of nearly $246,- 590 for each explosion. The econo- mic importance of this problem can| be more readily appreciated when it} is realized that at least 28,000 indus-) | trial plants, employing over 1.324,-| 000 persons and manufacturing pro- ducts of an annual value in excess of $10,000,000,000, are subject to the} hazard of dust explosions.” Of the cases studied by the bur-}| eau one was due to pyroxylin lac-| quer on automobile bodies, eleven| were sulphur dust, four hard rub- ber dust, sixteen starch, nine sugar, twenty-seven wood dust, six cork,| two aluminum dust, six fertilizers, three spice, two pitch dust, one ros- in, two powdered milk, two chocolate and cocoa, two celluloid and three) cotton dust.
