1 The popularity of hiking as a
sport has so enormously in
creased during recent wears that

4 creased during recent years that
a great deal of interest Is being
shown just now in the question of hotel
accommodations for those indulging in
walking holidays. 1t Is interesting to
note that the Y. M. C. A. has been
working successfully towards this end
for over five years now.
I have to hand some particulars Of
the Y. M. c. A. Holiday Lodge Scheme,
which provides chain of lodges for
young men and older boys in the High
lands and in the Border country. The
scheme has ben taken advantage OF
enthusiastically and I am sure many
who have hitherto been unaware of its
existence would welcome its simple and
economical provision for an ideal holi-
day.

which we SO urgently require, while in
return We deplete our heavy stocks OF
those commodities of which we have a
surplus. The agree ment signed in the
year ended last August gave emphati-
cally desirable results for both nations,
and there is no reason why such an in
terchange or reciprocal trading basis
should not become permanent feature
Of our trade relations.
Progress along these lines has been
made possible by the successful outcome
Of the five-year plan in developing all
of the Russian Soviet's resources. and
also because. Of the fact that CONNER
cial relations between Italy and Russia
are based on the principle of mutual
benefit Soviet exports to Italy will re-
suit in a large increase Of Italian ex-
ports to Russia. The proximity Of the
two countries makes trading in their re-
spective commodities more advantageous
on the basis of both volume and price
There Is no doubt but that this COM
merce begun SO auspiciously will be
rapidly expanded.
