SEES LONG LIFE OF
- EXCHANGE TROUBLES

TORONTO, Can, March 20.--The ad-
verse exchange rate between Great
Britain and the United States is likely
to continue for some years, in the opin-
ion of d. A. Cameron, of the Canadian

board of trade yesterday that SO long
as this condition exists it would be
impossible for Canada to borrow ad-
vantageously in the United States.
He estimated that the United States
holds Canadian securities valued at ST.

being S65, 900 900.

and the band. bow and streamers of
velvet ribbon complete this softness
of line. But one must dress up to
a hat like thls-if one Is over thirty.
Youth may attempt the style with a
severe tailored frock and a pair of
sport shoes; but such a hat, worn bv
an older woman, demands a soft and
dainty frock, huttery with lace and
sheer fabric in the bodice, a rather
formal costume accompanied by rath-
er dressy gloves and the daintiest Of

One housekeeper has devised

her schedule; it reads something like
this:

"By eleven o'clock table set and
dishes placed ready"
And so on, until: "By four-thirty

Potatoes peeled and in water. Salad

Every hour during the busy day she
glances at her schedule. If she is up
