Hearing With the Eyes
Gets Good Results

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
gives the disabled soldier just what
he needs most to help in his present
emergency, looking forward to a
real vocational course later. Many
foreign born Americans needed
training in fundamentals particularly
in elementary English. Almost five
hundred of these have begun their
courses. AmericaniZation is an
other of the courses which the need
for better citizenship has developed.

Montreal, Canada, Aug. IA. -
Francis II. Sisson, vice-president of
the Guaranty Trust company of New
York, in a recent statement, gave
some interesting facts concerning
the closer relations between Canada
and the United States brought about
by the war
Mr.. Sisson made it plain that inn
migration into Canada from the
United States was helpful to both
countries. In cementing the friend
ship between the two nations, he
said, it increases the export trade
of the United States with Canada
and develops Canadian resources
and n consequently larger market
Mr.. Sisson pointed especially to
the great numbers. of Americans
who have settled on farms in west
ern Canada. They are especially
strong along the Canadian National
Railways lines in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta and have
helped to make this region one of
the most tiourishing mixed farming
regions in Canada.
Because we in the United States
know Canada better than any other
country" said Mr.. Sisson. land be-
cause of the Dominion's great op-
portunities, the United States ought
to play part in the development of
the national resources of Canada
which will be beneficial to the in
dustry and enterprise of both Coun-
tries

year, SS1 worth came from the
United States against $50 in 1917
and S77 in 1916. On the other hand
the proportion of Canadian exports
to the United States in comparison
with total exports rose to 50 per
cent against 26 per cent in 1917,
the expansion taking place in such
lines as pulp, paper, asbestos pro-
ducts, nickel, etc.
There are 500 branch firms of
American industries located in Can

vided with working capital and un-
doubtedly will continue to con-
tribute much TO the development
and strengthening of industry in
Canada.
[ "One of the most effective ways
in which the United States has con-
tributed to the economical develop
meut of Canada has been through
the movement to western Canada
of agricultural settlers who have
been influential in the development
of the great wheat growing section
of the Dominion.
United States investment in Can
ada brought as a natural conse-
quence some Canadian investment
in the United States. But this never
has grown to any great proportions
as Canadian capital has been lured
away from foreign fields by at
tractive opportunities naturally Of

SEEK TO CONTROL
PLATINUM MINES
American and British Capital
istssActive in
Columbia

New York, Aug. IA. - Since the
great war ended, n quiet little war
for future control of the platinum
market of the world has been going
on in Colombia, South America. 1t
has been fought out between the
Lewisohns. the millionaire mining
family of the United States and Eng
lish capitalists. The result has been
that the rich South American fields
have been pretty equally divided De
tween the two interests.
Ownership OF the fields is now
split up among the following cor
porations: South American GoId
and Platinum company, of Whlcn
Adolph Lewisohn is president ana
the majority of whose shareS are
owned by the Lewisohns; Genera

managing director. The last named
CORPORATION also controls the Anglo
American Development company
and owns one-half interest IN Jhe
Pacific Metals Company.
The mines in the Ural mountains

principal source of platinum supply
They yielded 25O,OO0 ounces year
about four-fifths of all the plaunuihs
produced on the globe. TheN nave
not been worked systemaucallN
since the outbreak of the war hNe
wears ago. They will remain an uh-
dependable factor in the market uh-
til order is restored IN kuSsla'
which may be six months or quar-
ter of a century.
In the meantime, the American
and English syndicates are exploit
ing the South American fields on
a large scale and by the latest
scientific methods. They have eX-
pert mining engineers in control ana
have shipped in the best improved
mills and machinery. Recent re-
ports from Colombia are that the
fields are richer by far than the
world has been led to believe and
under efficient development may
WELD an output equal to that of the
Russian mines in their palmy days.
Platinum at present is quoted at
sos an ounce. Platinum jewelry'
since the lifting of the wartime
ban upon it, has come back into
greater popularity than ever before
and dealers are unable to meet the
market demands. The old urgent
demand for platinum for chemical
purposes is as great as ever and
the DEVELOPMENT of the airplane has
created a vast new market for the
metal.
