The present situation is a paradox. No less competent an authority than the United States President’s Committee on Recent Economic Changes reaches the conclusion that the rise in unemployment in recent years is not so much the result of recession in industry, closed factories and general | depression,—usually advanced as causes of unemployment,—as it is a @irect outcome of prosperity itself. | In other words, the intensified activity which has characterized progress | | in the past decade has likewise intensified, and in a sense created anew, one | the pi of The pi of has been d since the war as 4) serious one in Great Britain, and greater publicity has been given the | British situation than in other countries, largely because of the fact that in Britain, with its schemes of unemployment insurance, facilities existed for obtaining a more accurate accounting of the actual number out of work. It} is now becoming more generally known that the percentage of unemployed to population is almost as high in many other countries, and higher in some. | And the number of the enforced idle is increasing, until it is now estimated that 20,000,000 or more throughout the world are unemployed. The situation in Canada is decidedly better than it is in the United States, Great | Brtain, Germany, Italy, and most other countries. Even so, unemployment | is 1 subject of growing concern in this D to all Gov Bul i labor i and interests in general. Of course, in a young and developing country like Canada, and} particularly in view of its long winter months which necessarily slow up | many of our major activities, there always has been and, in all probability, | always will be That is and those | engaged in occupations which must slow up, or be temporarily suspended in the winter, must, like the farmer, earn a sufficient amount in the months of activity to carry him through the slack period. But why, following one of the most active years in the industrial history of Canada, with building construction records greater than ever before known, with development works of all kinds in progress, unemployment pr 5 d at a high peak, which was tho situation during the first three-quarters of 1929, should the unemployed problem be more acute than ever in the late fall and winter months? The answer cannot be found in any one thing, but is made up of many factors. Let us consider Western Canada alone. In 1928, with a record crop | volume of low grade, this country had to import over 50,000 harvesters, | thus pi 1 temporary emp which fi | the whole country. | In 1929 it was not necessary to import any harvest help, partly because of a 59% reduction in grain yield owing to drought conditions, but also largely because combined reaper-thresher machines, coupled with the use of motor toucks on a large scale, eliminated the work hitherto performed by man- power. Decreased volume of production resulted in a heavy falling off of | railway freight and large in railway em-| ployment. which was accentuated by the general tie-up in the wheat mar- | kets. All down the line business was affected adversely, and unemployment tre, Again, take railways. Every year witnesses increased traction power | of locomotives. In the United States the tractive power of locomotives per | railway employee increased 11 per cent. in the seven years between 1913 and } 7920, but 35 per cent. in the two years between 1925 and 1927. Here in Canada, the C.P.R. and C._NR. are introducing huge locomotives of great | power undreamed of ten years ago. Enormous tonnage is now hauled in a | single train which not many years ago would have called for the operation of two or three trains. Thus the number of train crews is lessened.

But, it will be said, great industries have been built up as a result of new inventions which now employ dreds of as, for the automobile industry, radio, aviation.

The good old fashion of taking a tonic in the Springtime, like most of the customs of our grandparents, is based upon sound common sense and good medical practice. Winter is al- ways a trying time for those who are not in rugged health. Many men, women and children go through the winter on reserve strength they have stored up during the sunny summer months, and grow increasingly pale and lanquid as the spring days ap- proach. A tonic of the blood and nerves at this time will go much for such people, by putting/color in the cheeks and banishing that tired feel- ing that worries thousands of people at this season of the year. It is impossible to be energetic if your blood is thin and weak, or if your nerves are frayed or shattered. You cannot compete with others if you do not get refreshing sleep at you are losing weight. You need a from suffering later on. And in all the realm of medicine, there is no safer or better tonic than Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. These pills tone and enrich the blood which circulates through every portion of the body, strengthening jaded nerves and run- down organs, and bringing a feeling of new’strength and energy to weak, easily tired, despondent men, women and children. Mrs. L. Hupman, Summerville Cen- . N.S. writes:—“Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been of the greatest benefit to me. A few years ago I was in a badly run down condition. I became so weak and nervous that f could scarcely go about, and doing my left me ly used up. Everything seemed to worry me,-and I was in a very discouraged condition when I began taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I soon found the pills helping me, and continuing their use I fully regained my health. Since therf I always take a few boxes in the Spring to build me up for the hot weather, and always I find the best results. I therefore cheerfully recommend these pills as the best of health builders.” You can get these pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ ille, Ont.

HEADACHES” om for Falling Hair, Rare Four-Horned Sheep Remarkable Animals Owned By Banana Planter In Peru At Mindi dairy farm near Colon, in Peru, a local banana planter has a flock of four-horned sheep. The sheep are considered remarkable freaks. They have two horns grow- ing d and two 2 straight up from their heads, the) ewes having the same number of horns as the rams. They are under medium size and have thick wool of brownish color. The owner claims he discovered the animals two years ago when crossing from Maracaibo: to- ward the Pacific Coast. They were in a deep ravine hundreds of miles from any habitation. His Indian guides had deserted him and this prevented his capturing them at that time. As a vermifuge an effective pre- paration is Mother Graves’ Worm Exterminator, and it can be given to the Canadian National Railways will be finished about May 18, and tho line will be turned over to the oper- ating department on that date. An announcement to this effect was made recently by A. E. Warren. western vice-president of the com- pany. A very considerable saving in time and distance between southern Sas- katchewan and the Hudson Bay Rail- way will result with the completion of this line and the opening of it for regular freight and passenger ser- vice. Between Regina, Moose Jaw and other southern points in Sas- katchewan there will be a lessening of 94.6 miles over the existing route from those centers to The Pas. Inter- mediate points such as Melville and Yorkton will also be brought con- siderably nearer to The Pas and the Hudson Bay Railway. Until the Sturgis-Hudson Bay Junction line goes into operation the route from Regina to Hudson Bay Junction is via Swan River, a dis- tance of 429.6 miles. The distance by way of the new route which lies through Melyille, Yorkton, and Ca- nora will be 335 miles. Passenger and freight train ser- vices are now under consideration by the departments concerned but it is not that an on train service will be made for a few weeks. The Sturgis-Hudson Bay Junction line was one of those included in the three-year branch line programme ‘which was passed by parliament in 1927. Although it is practically the last item on that programme to be completed, the date upon which it is to be turned over for operation is more than six months ahead of that set by the bill. This adds to the en- viable record of the engineering forces of the Western Region of the Canadian National Railways in com- pleting all its construction work months ahead of the limit set by par- liament. The laying of steel to Churchill and the completion of the Flin Flon and Sheridon Railways and the Aberdeen-Melfort branch line are other examples. % Had To Keep Moving Queer Actions Of Negro Were Very Necessary A negro called upon an old friend, who received him in a rocking chair.

Antiseptic Completes Long Air Journey Bishop Geddes Makes Trip From Aklavik To Edmonton Covering the two thousand miles from Aklavik, on the Arctic ocean to Edmonton, in 17 hours*of actual flying time, His Lordship Bishop W. A. Geddes completed a trip March 30 which would have taken ten weeks of ordinary winter travel. In open water, the journey by steamboat would have lasted three weeks. The bishop, accompanied by Mrs. Geddes, left Aklavik in a Commer cial Airways aeroplane piloted by Capt. W. R. (Wop.) May. It was 35 below zero when the machine left Aklavik. This was ordinary winter weather at that point, although a bad storm was experienced the week before. On over Fort McPherson, Arctic Red River, Fort Good Hope, the machine passed in completing the last air mail trip to the Arctic before the ice breaks up. When Fort Nor- man was reached for the end of the first day's flying, it was 40 above zero after a heavy rain had fallen. On the second day, Fort Simpson, Hay River, and Fort Resolution were reached, while the second night was spent at Fort Chipewyan. Pilot May went on to Fort McMurray and Pilot Glyn Roberts called at Chipewyan and picked up Bishop and Mrs. Geddes whom he brought on to Ed- monton.
