Methods Suggested

-Four ways are suggested by means
Of which the exchange situation ad
verse to Canada can be rectified, as
fol!ows: First. by increasing Cana
dian exports to the United States;
second, by the curtailment of Can
adam imports TO non-esscntials third
by Great Britain arranging a credit in
the United States for such portion of
her purchases in Canada as are essen
t'ai TOR the maintenance of Canadian
lndnstrles and the successful prosccu-
1ioN OF the war; and fourth, by the
United States giving Canada the priv.
iIegc OF renewing certain of her ohli-
cations which mature during the com

Canadian Bank Thinks Ad-
vances Would Be Best
Solution Of Problem

With New York funds at Montreal
quoted at record premium of about
IA per cent, Canadian bankers are
seeking ways and means to bring about
an adjustment of the abnormal eX-
change situation prevailing between
Canada and the United States. In
statement issued yesterday. discussing
the present Canadian exchange prob
lem, the Canadian Bank OF Commerce
suggested that The United States 'ma3
tind it cxpedcnt to finance for the time
being part Of her sales to Canada, by
giving credit to Great Britain or to
Canada. 1t is also suggested that an
arrangement might be made between
the United States and Canada, whereby
the latter would be given the privilege
of renewing certain of her obligations
maturing during the current year.
Trade Balance Responsible
'There are indications that in some
quarters" says the banks statement,
"the distinct impression exists that the
premium charged for United Gates
funds RENTED in settlement of Cana
dian collections, when the exchange is
against Canada. merely constitutes an
extra profit which goes into The pock-
cts of the Canadian banks. and that
the exchange market for United States
funds in Canada is manipulated by the
bankers in the latter country in such
way as artitically to maintain sit
uation by which they are supposed to
benefit heavily" The bank goes on to
point out that this is not the case, and
that the movement of the exchange
between the two countries is governed
by the trade balance. which at the pres
ont time is running heavily in favor Of
the United States, because OF the large
Canadian purchases here.
Canada's favorable trade balance
with all countries for the year 1917
amounted to over S5SS. 100000 which
in the ordinary course of events should
have resulted in the exchanges being
favorable, but her purchases from the
United States were some $4CO, 1000 900
IN excess of her sales to the latter
country. and Canada. having given
credit for a large proportion of her
sales TO Great Britain. is experiencing
difficulty in settling her debt to the
United States.

The use OF gas In warfare dates Dack
to about 400 B. G. The Spartans sat-
urated wood with pitch and sulphur
and burned 1t under the walls Of cities
which they were attacking. For sew
eral centuries gas has not been used
In warfare, and The Hague convention
definitely ruled against it. However,
on April %, 1915, the Germans nber-
ated great clouds of gas against Cana
dian troops near Ypres. Terrible de-
struction and decentralization resulted
week England was making plans for
gas warfare against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas at
tack English and French women sent
to the front hundreds of thousands Of
homemade gas masks. For the most
part they were merely bandages i'm
pregnated with chemicals to wrap
around the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many lives,
but afforded only limited protection.
Commenting on the decision to regu-
late the consumption of bread in Paris
by means of tickets, reference is made
by some of the Paris newspapers to
the success of the bread card in Switz-
erland, where the bread has been ra-
toned for several months, resulting in
an economy of 40 per cent of the
amount consumed previously.
The average amount allotted per
pefson per day is 256 grams (Which
will soon be reduced to 200 grams).
Each individual card contains a GER
tain number of coupons for 250, 100, so
and 25 grams of bread amounting in
all to the total monthly allotment.
These coupons may be used whenever
the holder desires, either at the bak-
er's or at restaurant; in fact, guests
In private families are expected to de-

Hats reached the limit Of plainness
last fall after travelling in the direc-
tion of scant trimming for several sea-
sons. The first hats Of spring-those
prepared for sojourns at Southern re-
sorts-ventured tentatively to present
few blossoms that flattened them
selves against crowns or nestled on
brims In the most retiring manner.
Ribbons and certain feathers were
used with more assurance but no one
predicted or seemed to foresee the
coming of abundant trimmings and a
variety of them.
AS happens In millinery, all at once
we woke up to the fact that there were
q lot of flowers and fruits, feathers
and ribbons on hats that made their
appearance in February as the van
guard of summer millinery. It is re-

undaunted confidence In the satisfac-

results of Investigations concerning
the effect of alcohol on craftsmanship.
He chose the best shots from among
the non-commissioned officers and SOL
diers of his regiment, says the organ
of the American Medical association,
and had them fire series at 200 me-
ters. They were then given dose of
brandy, approximately so gm., after
which they fired a second series similar
to the first. These experiments were
repeated at different times and under
different conditions, always with iden-
tical results. 1t was found that the
efficiency Of the marksmen after the
absorption of the alcohol had depreci-
ated 80 per cent in rapid firing and
80 per cent in slow firing.
