IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
AGAIN ON THE INCREASE
Northern Minister of Public Works
Praises Arrivals from United
States

OTTAWA, Can, Nov. 6.-Immigra-
ton to Canada Is again on the in
crease, and the growth in arrivals from
the United States is especially heavy.
American immigration to Canada was
$4,000 last year, and promises to reach
upward OF $4,000 during the present
fiscal year.
The minister of public works, who
has just returned to ottawa from a
tour of the Canadian west extending
over a period Of two months, lauds
the good work done by Americans In
the west. He refers In highly compli-
mentary terms to the work of Amer
lean settlers in the province of Sas-
katchewan especially, where they mad
brought to a highly productive state
large areas of land which few years
ago had been declared unfit for cul-
tivation by the government experts.
These men had come from a terri
tory in which similar dry conditions
prevailed, and they had turned their
knowledge to such good account that
land which they had bought for 81 or
SO an acre was today valued at from
$50 to $40 an acre. At Dundurn, for
instance, one American farmer eX-
pected $4,000 bushels of wheat from
two sections, while another anticipated
80 900 bushels from 1000 acres sown to
wheat.
During the first three months of the
hscal year, ending with June. 74,136 per-
son entered Canada as immigrants,
an increase of 5163, or per cent, over
the same period last year. From
Great Britain and the continent the ar
rivals numbered 41,212, a falling Off
of Is per cent, as compared with the
like period of last year. During the
same time, however, immigrants from
the United States numbered 1924, an
increase of 1857, or 61 per cent.

STILL BELIEVES AUTO
SHORTAGE COMING
EACH MONTHS BUSINESS IN
CREASES FOR STUDEBAKERS
Factory Turning Out 1900 Cars Per
Month and Maintaining Normal
Capacity with Heavy De-
mand for Cars

Hayden Eames, general manager Of
the Studebaker Automobile company.
accompanied by Z. LIE Roy Pelletier,
general advertising manager of that
concern, has been making an extended
tour of the various Studebaker
branches. During the past twenty
days over $4,000 miles have bs9n COW
cred during which branches at Salt
Lake, San Francisco, Portland, Seat
tie, Minneapolis ana Chlcago were
visited.
At each branch center the dealers
have been called in and addressed en-
matters of policy by the executive ond
publicity heads.
In speaking of his trip and the con-
ditions as he found them, Mr., Eames
says: Gwen to a greater extent than
last year our problem is going II be
to supply the ever increasing demand.
1t seems as If there was no end to
the demand for medium priced cars,
particularly-cars of the EMF "30'
class. Thousands of conservative
business men who even to a year cgo
doubted that good serviceable, re-
liable family car could be sold for less
than $2500 now realize that, with mod
ern methods of producing in the tre-
mendous quantities we do such car
is now obtainable for half that price.
Even if the 100000 or so cars which are
predicted for next season could be
built, the supply would still be made
ouate to meet the demands as we have
found them on this trip
Being in close touch with the ma
terial and the parts market, I am GER
tain that not over 100000 automobiles
of all types will be manufactured dur
ing the coming twelve months, and
think 125,000 is nearer the figure. That
being the case, 1t will be seen that the
shortage in the spring months will be
greater than last year and will be very
aggravating to those buyers who were
in and definite delivery dates spec
flied.
an our talks with dealers-and we
have met over 600 of them in the past
four weeks-we have tried to impress
upon them the necessity of getting de-
livery specifications in early.
"It is source of great satisfaction
to me-" continued Mr.. Eames, that
we have been able to do something that
never has been done in this industry
before, l. e., not only to keep the fac
tory output up to normal during the
four months, but actually to distribute
into the hands of ultimate users a
constantly increasing output due to
additional factory facilities which we
are adding from time to time. Our
business for August was greater than
that of July; September exceeded Au-
gust by 100 cars; October will exceed
September by the same number. and
shipping specifications already in for
November indicate that the only limit
to the consumption of EMF cars will
be the factorys ability to build them.
The factory is now turning out 1900
cars per month.
"In the case of high-priced cars of
the Studebaker-G Garford class, while
there is and always will be a limited
demand for such cars, yet the demand
is still in excess of the supply in about
the same ratio as that of the EMF
"30," and we have had cause to re-
gret our over-conservatism in produc-
ing only 1000 Garford 4O's'
this season.

"REST Room" ESTABLISHED
IN KANSAS CITY STORE

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6.-It would
only show how stupid you are If you
were to laugh at the idea of rest
room" for men in a Kansas City hab-
erdashers' store. There are rest rooms
for women in the big department
stores, and the man was never born
who could keep up with woman when
II comes to shopping. Now and then a
man who gets the idea into his head
that he is strong and husky ventures
with his wife or some of the other
women of the household into a shop
or a store. About the first thing you
will see him do will be to look around
for a place to sit down, or hole in
the wall somewhere through which he
can get out. Much less than an hour
will finish him up and compel him to
admit that he is "all in"
Men are not built for shopping No
matter how able bodied they are, 1t
puts them out of business in no time
They can no more endure the strain
of standing up in front of counters or
walking over the floor space of big
store than women could standing dig
ging in a ditch.
Men manage to buy the stuff they
wear themselves because 1t takes so
little time. To most of them one thing
looks just about as good as another,
and thus they escape the parley that
women seem to enjoy in making pur-
chases.
A rest room for men is really an in
spiration. With that sort of a conven-
ience there ought to be a marked i'm
provement in masculine taste. With
means Of relieving the fatigue which
shopping always causes them, men
ought to be able to correct the hasty
habit they have of buying clothes and
neckties and other things to hang on
themselves that make them look like
guys and freaks. Hurry up the mems
rest rooms, by all means.

CURRENCY OFFICIAL SAYS
BANK MEN NEED PUBLICITY
Comptroller Murray Says He Would
Publish Names of Negligent Dl-
rectors of Institutions

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Comptroller
of the Currency Murray has recently
tabulated the results of the answers to
the set of questions which he caused
to be propounded to national bank di-
rectors.
1t is said that there are 1000 national
banks in the United States, and 10000
directors, of whom 62 per cent were
present at the examinations. But 20
per cent of the directors claimed or ad-
mitted thorough familiarity with the
affairs of their respective banks and
per cent confessed total ignorance.
The remainder appear to constitute an
intermediate class, having what is con-
veniently described as general
knowledge" of the banks business. 1t
also appears that only about 81 per
cent of the loans were approved by
the directors, and that in nearly half
the institutions the officers made the
loans without the directors knowledge
or consent. Only about one-half of the
directors have read the national bank
act-so that half are in fact ignorant
of the law they are presumed to know
The conditions thus disclosed are of
great interest and Importance, and
show that a large majority of national
bank directors are not doing their full
duty. Just how to wake them up is
a serious problem, which we are glad
is Comptroller Murray's and not our
own. But suggestion may be help
full though we make 1t at the risk of
rendering ourselves unpopular with
our banker friends. Why not, Mr..
Comptroller, publish in proper me-
diums the results of your examina-
tions? Why not let it be known that
Messrs, A, B and c, directors of the
d National bank, have never read the
national bank act, do not pass upon
loans, allow illegal overdrafts? Pub
licity is the panacea for all public
wrongs. the true preventive of official
dereliction.

tended to be an exclusive place for the
White cars, but any kind of car may
be taken there to have the work done
on 1t by the most skilled machinists
and experts that can be obtained.
The interior OF the place is to have
special attention given to 1t in the way
of luxurious and lavish fulfillment.

completed within the next thirty to
forty days, the work to be rushed to a

Difficult Situation

About a year ago a cook informed
her Boston mistress that she was apt
to leave at any time, as she was en-
gagged to be married. The mistress was
genuinely sorry, as the woman is a
good cook and steady. Time passed, how
ever without further word of leaving,
though the happy man-to-be was a
frequent caller in the kitchen. The
other day the mistress was moved by
curiosity to ask:
when are you to be married, Nora ?"
"Indade, an it's niver at all, I'll be
thinkin, num-" was the sad reply.
Really? What is the trouble?"
'Tis this, mum. / won't marry Mike
when he's drunk, an when he's sober
he won't marry me."-Judge.
