Canada and Gold.
CWinnipeg Financial Post.

(Wnnpeg Financial Post)
 Canada must shortly step into the breach to save the worlds gold supply from dwindling seriously Fortunately Canada is opening up new gold mines rapidly enough to insure that we can more than offset the decline in production of gold in South Africa.
 South Africa expects it's present gold produc- ton to be curtailed by one-half in fifteen years. This will mean loss of 100000,000 a year to South Africa. Apart from the social and econ omic consequences to important area around Johannesburg which has been built gold min ing the interesting feature of this forecast is the assurance 1t gives to a shift of world atten- tion to the gold fields of Canada.
 Canada will not get any more for it's gold when the South African mines peter out for gold is not commodity bought and sold in compet- tive market It happens to be the standard of all monetary values. But there Is competition between gold fields for capital and it would not be surprising if the capitalists who have built up the South African gold fields were to shift their attention to Canada.
 Canada's gold production has doubled in six years It may well double again within the next six years and again in the six-year period following that This would bring us to an an nual production of $150,O0OO00 of gold before 1940 Of course this is speculation; but specu- lation founded upon appreciation of our mining resources our job is to have faith in our resources and ability to sell them to the world capitalists.
 The state of mind that induces many Canad- ans to view Northern ontario, Northedn Quebec and Northern Manitoba as barren waste, as the great photographic dividing line between Eastern and Western Canada, and to view this area as a permanent bar to Canadian unity, is not the state of mind in which we can ap- proach the problem of developing the mlheral areas of Canada
 This barren waste is asset of tremend- ous potential value We build wealth and prosperity the rock of the Laurentian sheild.

SUPPORT FOR SMITH IN THE SOUTH.

Richard " oulahan of the New York Times has discovered very strong movement in the South for the nomination of Gov Smith. and de- clares that it is possible that he will finally sweep that section of the country. He says that one of the things that is operating to give him support is the feeling that if Gov. Smith is de- feated for the nomination 1t will be on account of his religion, and the further feeling that if such is the result that Democrats by the thou sands will leave the party.
 It is admitted in the South that those who would leave the party if they were convinced that it permitted religious affiliations to influence It in the selection of nominee for President are not by any means confined to Catholics In fact, as Tar as the South is concerned, most of them snre Protestants who are we'll grounded in Jener- <1rninn Doctrine--the doctrine that gave us the 2 8foaainnfing Jenersonian Party which controlled IF f3overnment in the days of constitutional 1funsnts and territorial expansion. the party

SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE
 REMEMBERED.

Those Methodist Bishops and others who con demn the scientist and the Menckens Lewises, etc. ought to remember that the scientists, Menckens etc. are not asking for laws and armed police men to compel people to think and behave as they would wish them to- The Menckens, etc.. have no Hobbies at Washington in sumptous offices from which to dictate to Congress. They are not out over the land bargaining with, threat ening and corrupting legislators, using money where necessary they are not swapping blocs of votes for the votes of other bocs to control elections. They do not go before Congressional committees and swear falsely in order to gain some point. None of them have been sent to prison for vio- lating corrupt practices acts or trying to intim- date courts.

NEW JERSEY SUSIAlNo GOVERNOR
 AGAINST LEGISLATURE.

The Hague Machine" seems still to be dom inant in New Jersey. The voters recently turned down by emphatic majorities proposed Constitu- tonal amendments submitted by the State Leg isature and opposed by Gov. A. Harry Moore and Mayor Frank J. Hague of Jersey City, his sponsor and Democratic State leader One of the amendments proposed to elect the Governor each four years at the same time as the Presi- dentia election. Gov. Moore and Mayor Hague requested the voters to reject the amendment because they contended, State affairs and Ma tional affairs ought to be kept as far separated as possible. The majority against the proposed amendment at the election September 20 was overwhelming.
 New York will vote in November on similar amendment that was submitted the objection of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The latter has asked the voters of the State to reject the proposal for the reason that Mayor Hague and Gov. Moore opposed the New Jersey proposal.

ONE ON MIR. BRISBANE.

Arthur Brisbane his return from France recently described in his syndicated To-day" a French motor truck and called the attention of American truck makers to it, showing them what they missing. He said
 American automobile will be in- terested in a French motor truck that picks up it's load, slings it under the chassis and rolls away, drop ping it where wanted, by simply letting it down.
 The chassis and motor are raised feet above the ground, giving clearance of five feet under the frame work, four legs carrying the wheels. The truck over the load, raised few inches above ground, four right angled plates ratchets reach under the load which is lifted by engine power.
 Mack Truck White Truck. Repubi- can Truck, General Motors and Ford about to market heavy duty truck, will be interested in this French idea. It will simplify and cheapen transportation of iron beams, lumber and white paper, saving the rolls from destructive bump ing.
 This brought the Port Angeles News to it's feet to call MT Brisbanes attention to the cir constance that the only difference between the French truck he described and trucks that have been in use throughout the lumber districts o Washington and Oregon for the last ten years or so is that those used in the Northwest are made in the United States.

acre tract of land known as the
Trip Farm, which is situated just
west of the corporate limits of Falls
Church, Va.
The Trip Farm now is scene of
activity as a large force of men are
at work putting in improvements in
the subdivision. A steam shovel and
fleet Of trucks are being employed in
leveling the high embankment that
faces the Lee Highway at this point
and three main streets and their
abutting sidewalks are being laid.
The new subdivision is to be opened
with formal ceremonies June IS, it
was announced today by Mrs. Minar.
Forty acres of the section are to be
developed at this time and the re.
mainder at a later date, according to
present plans.
The new suburb is to be called

BETTER USE OF TIMBER
OFFERS MARKED SAVING

Millions of dollars could be cut from
the Nations annual building bill by a
simple expedient which enough people
have tried to prove practical. This is
the tenor of a statement contained in
a report just received from the ma
tional committee on wood utilization,
Of which Secretary Of Commerce Her.
bert Hoover is chairman.
It is made on the authority of a
subcommittee on construction consist
ing 30 members, of which IA are
prominent architects and the balance
arc building engineers and authorized
representatives of many great national
associations of architects, builders and
contractors.
The cost Of construction today has
become a matter of vital concern not
only to the builder and contractor. but
also to the consumer or ultimate home
owner. In the struggle to reduce these
costs it is often claimed that the quail
ity of building construction has been
materially lowered.
According to this report not less
than 500, 100000 could be saved by

Washington Auditorium next October
by the Washington Real Estate
Board will occupy approximately 50,-
600 square feet of exhibit space, in
which the latest equipment, methods
of construction, materials and other
phases of home building, home fur
niShing and domestic science will be
features.
Every effort will be made to keep
the show on high plane, and the
booths will be decorated in a uniform
fashion with elaborate electrical dec
orations, James P. Schick, secretary
of the board, said today. Every foot
of available space in the Auditorium
will be required for the exposition.
The seats in the main auditorium OF
the building will be taken out for
the show The indications are, Mr..
Schick said. that there will be large
list of exhibitors this year.
A series of lectures of interest to
housewives will be given. Model
homes, financing and every phase OF
the real estate profession will be dis
cussed by experts.
The exposition will be the second Of
a series which the Real Estate Board
hopes to present annually as an in
centive toward better homes and the
development of Washington. The
purpose Of this exposition will be to
demonstrate every phase that enters
into the construction of a well built
home, and the acquiring of one. In
presenting this demonstration 1t is
hoped by the officers of the board that
it will greatly encourage, in the Ma
no fa1
of the value of home ownership and
afford to the general public. as well
as to the builders and real estate
men, an opportunity to see in opera

the betterment of the home.
