In its steady progress toward elm

the government has put the three for

after by other departments OF the gov

An Important Difference.

The gasoline situation in this coun-
try is not to be compared with that in
Europe. England and France are al
most entirely dependent upon imports
of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack of ships.
TT is for this reason that the use OF
motorcars for private use has had to
be suspended except for the most ur-
gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, is the worlds largest oil
producing country and is unable to ex.
port more than one-quarter Of its gaso.
line production. To the extent that
gasoline. kerosene and fuel Oil are used
for power purposes the supply Of coal
is conserved.

Magnetic Storms Interfere

One Of the many explanations that

by M. A. Thauzies, French pigeon

reliability of the birds to a surprisini
extent.-Popular Science Monthly.

French Women TenderIy Care
For Graves of American Boys.

Aged French women in the villages
In the rear of the American sector in
Picardy have asked and received per-
mission to take care of one or more
graves Of American soldiers. The af.
lection with which the villagers regard
the Americans Is most pathetic. The
difficulty of language is swept aside
and the villagers share the American
sorrows and joys. In the villages
where American troops are billeted
and which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants and
teach them how to use them.

RESOURCES ASSURE PROS.
 PERITY

Before the war it was seen that if a conflict should break out between modern states it would be a war be- tween whole peoples. Few men be- lieyed that any nation could stand Che strain of warfare en masse for any considerable length of time. It was freely predicted that such a struggle would end in famine and bankruptcy in @ remarkably short space.
 The prophecy, like so many others. has not been fulfilled. The allied na- tiOns are actually more prosperous than have been in the past. They have more money, wages are better, and industry is expanding more than in the pre-War period.
 Canada has been in the war almost four years.
 If this nation has to fight that long 9 period, the present condition of Canada forecasts the situation in this nation three years from today.
 Canada has sent 5OO,O00 men to the colOrs. If the United States sends such a proportion of her population there will be 7,O0O,O0O Yankees in France in the coming thirty months.
 Canadian bank deposits have in- creased from 659 to 9S5 millions dur ing the war.
 Automobiles in Canada numbered 43,0O0 when the struggle began; they now total 191,OOO.
 Canada has progressed industrially and agriculturaIly as a result of the war because she has had the resources and the raw materials that were needed by tho allies. The United States has the same advantages, and no fear need be felt for the prosperity of the land, even if the war continues several years into the future.
