Canada to Reduce
American Imports
$15o,ooo,o0o a Year
Adverse Trade Balance
Forces Dominion to
Take Action

OTTAWA, March 31.-Canada pro-
United States by 10000, 900 year, it
was learned tonight. This drastic &C
ton is planned to correct the exchange
rate which the adverse trade balance
against Canada has raised to the al
most prohibitive point of per cent
for New York funds.
Following a visit to Washington d
short time ago by Premier Borden and
Acting Finance Minister MacLean, the
Canadian government decided that the
adverse balance Of trade must be re-
duced by embargo against the importa-
ton of manufactured articles that can
be fabricated in Canada.
The government has given notice Of
legislation authorizing such embargo,
and the Canadian War Trade Board is
working out the details. Among the
ada it is proposed to forbid are auto
mobiles, tires, patent medicines, pianos,
musical instruments of all kinds, jew
elry, silver-plated ware, furniture, foot
wear, clothing and luxuries of every de-
scription.
For the manufacture of these articles
exclusively in Canada for the require
ments Of the Canadian market large
quantities of parts and raw materials
will have to be imported from the
United States, but is estimated that in
the case of automobiles, by having the
manufacturing done in Canada, two cars
can be produced for the same expen-
diturc of Canadian money in the United
States as now required to buy one.
To compensate the Canadian govern
mnnt for tho loss of cuctOmc ravon,1a
and to correct the extra protection
given manufactures by the embargo, it
is proposed to levy a special war tax
of 20 per cent on all Canadian articles
that will Ee sheltered from competition
by the new embargo.
The War Trade Board is perfecting q
plan for the standardization of foot
wear and clothes. The variety of lasts
of shoe manufacturers will be strictly
limited, and cloth makers will be re-
stricted as to the number of colors,
shades and designs they may produce.

Spears Wins
In Velodrome.
Is Disqualified
Australian Cyclist Outrides
National Champion
in Newark

Fine weather and a big crowd ush-
cred in the bicycle racing season over
at the Velodrome in Newark yesterday
afternoon. Eight thousand fans turned
out to see Bob Spears, the elongated
Australian star, win two races and be
disqualified after winning the third.
Spears raced home first in the mile and
fvemile open, but after beating out
Reggie Mcnamara in the Stanley Han
dicap, at one mile, was disqualified for
taking the pole from the inside.
The cyclist from Australia showed
all sorts of speed and is certain of
being factor in deciding the national
cycling championship. He simply out
classed the field, while the poor show
ing of Arthur Spencer, the national
champion. was one of the disappoint-
ments OF the day..
Spears scored a victory in the one
mile open when, coming from fourth
position on the bell lap, he rode around
ming out easily. Grenda finished sec
ond, Mcnamara was third, Clark
fourth, Hanley fifth and Cory sixth.
1t was a comeback for Jackie Clark,
who has not competed for year, and
the crowd gave him a great ovation
while his friends presented him with
a. horseshoe of flowers.
Mcnamara Is Fined
In the 1ive-mile open, Spears again
came like race horse from the rear
and speeded around ALT Grenda and
Willie and Arthur Spencer, winning
rather easily from Arthur Spencer
who was second. John Bedell raced in
third, ALI Grenda was fourth and
Willie Spencer fifth. Reggie Mcnamara
pushed Willie Spencer in this race as
he was trying to come around him, and
the referee fined Mcnamara $40 for
rough riding.

OF dozen more, and while he was gone
the rhinoceros rolled over on his back
again.
Yesterday, however, the pasters
were in place, but Dick and the patient
think there must be something wrong
with them. They didn't seem to draw
right somehow. SO Dick hustled out
tor some towels to dip in hot water to
wrap his patient in. In the whole park
he could find only three dozen towels,
and the lot Of them scarcely would
make handkerchief for the great
Indian rhinoceros.
Tablecloths. Please
The ever resourceful nurse obtained
dozen tablecloths, however, and sue
ceeded in giving his patient the first
Iurkish bath he ever experienced
Dick hopes the tablecloths did the
trick, but the great Indian rhnoceros
undoubtedly is one of the sickest
rhlnoceroses that ever lay fiat on it's
back and played that it was steam
piano.
Louisa and Teddy have not yet
reached the crisis of the disease. They
have been i'll only three days, while
the rhlnoceros was stricken a week
ago. Pete Romanotf, their nurse, feeds
them each q cupful of cough syrup
every three hours, to their huge de-
light. Both Louisa and Teddy seem to
be getting the cough syrup habit, and
Pete believes that they fake alarming
symptoms between doses to coax an
extra cupful or two from him.
All three patients are under the care
of DIR. Raymond Ditmars. Louisa and
the rhinoceros moved to the park in
1907. The latter is twelve years old.
Louisa never told her age Teddy has
been in the park since 1903, and is one
of it's most accomplished dancers.
