says that ain a year when depres.

leading industries, among those that

Der production" This brief statement
should be of great interest to the
American people. A brief considera-
ton of import statistics shows why
numbering has been SO material fac
tor in maintaining business in Can
ada at a time when that industry Is
paralyzsd in the United States. The
mills of the Pacific coast have been
closed down or running on short time.
Logging camps have been idle and the
wheels of Single mills do not turn.
During the month OF March, 1913, I'M
der a protective tariff, imports of
shingles into the United States
amounted to only 100000. During the
same month in 1914. the imports in
creased to $4,000, and IN March,
1Alo. to S244. 000-more than four
times the amount OF the imports un-

There are special lecture courses i'll

used to supplement the art courses.
Many OF these mature students Ia

THE CURTAIN OF THE DARK.
o blest is man, who in these latter
days
Hath been permitted by the gods to
raise
Earth's ancient curtain of the dark,
that blight
That fell like pestilence with every
night!
Then in the deep pit of the moonless
sky
Only the frightened stars went hurry
ing by
Above earth's midnight forests; AMI
dark seas
Drew from the shrouding night their
mysteries.
And rivers rolled in darkness. and lone
heights
Lifted vain SUBMITS in the leveling
nights k
That wiped out inequalities of earth
As in reft hearts death leaveth level
dearth.
So ali these dark things in the dark
ness seemed
To be to earth as dreams which she
had dreamed
In nighttime; while there stalked with
blazing eyes
The nightmare beasts for hungry sac
rifice.
o blest is man, who in these latter
days
Hath learned the curtain of the dark to
raise.
And may he learn, ere fits this human
breath,
To raise at last earth's darkest cur
tain, death.
