In the late winter in the spring has a

Bank rediscount rates within three
months, in contrast with 41a 70 8 per

strength and exceptional breadth Of the
demand for bonds has been rejecting

movement of money rates and supplies
suggests that when the world markets
are able 70 absorb goods on n large
scale, factories and mills will be able
to finance their needs for normal costs
and profits will trend toward normal
levels. A great and sincere movement
for the reduction OF military expendi-
lures would speed the return TO eco

other International programme at this

Returns continue TO come in on the
National Republics "oldest woman

National Republican this week - one
aged III years, living in the OZarks,
concerning whom the National Repub-

EASTERN CANADA UNDER ICE
Professor Asserts 1t Was Covered a
Mile Deep Forty Thousand
Years Ago.

Prof. A. F. Coleman of the faculty
Of applied science and engineering of
the University of Toronto, whose
hobby is studying the ice age. and who
has toured many countries in his re-
search work. believes the ice age was
present In Canada about 10000 years
ago As a result of his inspection
of the rock and mountains of the ter
ritory of Gaspe, in eastern Canada.
where there are valuable fishing
grounds. he had been convinced that
the ice which has covered that part Of
Canada to a depth of about a mile,
never passed over that portion of east
ern Canada
The Shick-Shock mountains, which
are really a continuation of the Appa-
lachian range. are the backbone of
Gaspe. and the highest land of eastern
Canada. Professor Coleman did find.
however. that a great glacial sheet
had filed the Gulf of the st. Law
renee. He has also found that the
front range of the Rocky mountains
has been pushed seven miles into the
prairie.
Professor Coleman was probably one
of the first scientists to visit Gaspe.
despite the fact that the French land

jamestown to survive the privations
and difficulties that encompaSsed it
during those first years. There in 1907
was made the first permanent English
colony in America. The charter given
by King James l to what was known
as the London company, under whose
auspices jamestown and the later Vir-
ginia settlements were founded, desig-
mated that this colony should extend
200 miles north and 200 miles south of
Old Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign of
Charles II it was considered such an
important colony that 1t was called the
fourth dominion of his empire, that is,
England, Scotland, Ireland and Vir-
ginia. From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The name
Virginia itself means the virgin land
and was so called after Queen Eliza
beth, the "Virgin Queen" The early
government of Virginia is of great in
tereSt. At first communism was tried,
under which system the land and all
property was owned in common and
all profits were divided equally. This
proved a disastrous failure. In 1919
the first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was established,
called the house of burgesses, which
continued in force under varying for
tunes until Virginia Joined the Union
and became the tenth state in 1883.
Much might be written of the char
acter of the early Virginian settlers
and their great influence on American
life. From Virginia has sprung two
other states, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia. Even so, the states present
area is 42.627 square miles. Politically
the Old Dominion state is entitled to
twelve presidential electors. This is
about the average of the southern
states.
