UPWARD SWING
Of Business in Canada
Comes to Halt

Ottawa (ILNS)-The upward swing
of Canadian business which began last
March slowed down in September and
October, and in November there was
a reaction with declining activity and
recession of prices.
Construction during the year has
been at low ebb, totalling only so
millions, whereas if it had been in
keeping with pre-war (1913) construc-
ton, it would have been 715 millions.
There has been an accumulating
shortage of decent housing for some
years, and equally an accumulating
shortage of construction for produc-
tive purposes.
A promising sign is that contrac-
tors are being asked to figure on con-
struction projects designed to replace
industrial plants and business estab-
lishments that are not as up-to-date
they might be.

Life Has So Much
BY DOUGLAS MALloch

T IFE has SO little. 80 you say,
- But have you looked at life today.
Or have you only looked within
AT your own care and your own sinf
Some live forever In a cell,
With all the world In which to dwell.
BY their own troubles held and caught,
Poor self-made prisoners Of thought.
There are SO many other things
Besides some care to which one clings:
Such beauties, pleasures, harmonies.
Why shut yourself away from thesei
Why live q hermit In your mind
When you might walk abroad and hnd
Far greater matters than your cares.
Concern yourself with life's affairsf
Life has so little, you have found,
Because you shut yourself around
With walls Of thinking, musty walls,
The while world Of wonder calls.
Old thoughts will bring you only griek.
New thoughts will bring you new bs-
lief,
New hopes to nnd, new heights -
touch,
New Joy to Knoxville has so much.

THE contrast between the rutted

Strangely enough the solution of

The test provides a method Of
determining the proportions Of

FLAT LIE PREVENTS
TILTINC WRISTS

g TEWART MAIDEN, who pilotsd
y Bobby Jones along the paths Of
golf skill and Is one Of the foremost
instructors Of the present day, be-
lieves that the club with tho fiat lie
Is an easier club than the upright to
play. His reason Is that the player
can thus address the ball with the
hands In natural position and q
straight left arm. With the upright
lie the golfer might find It necessary
to tilt his wrists to accommodate 4
suitable position for the clubhead.
This position is almost impossible to
maintain on the downward sweep Of
the clubhead with any degree Of exact
ness and power. Naturally the lie to
use Is that which the player can most
easily adapt himself to. In the ma
jority Of cases and particularly for the
player Of average height or less, the
fiatter lie will be found more suitable.
