CANADIAN BUSINESS
HAS TURNED CORNER

Special Dispatch to The Star
MONTREAL, December 27.-In the
year now closing Canada has partici-
pated fully in the improvement charac-
teristic of economic conditions in the
most favorably situated countries, says
the Bank of Montreal in its current
business summary.
Three years of persistent decline
reached their lowest point in February
last. With the second quarter of the
year a marked reversal of the trend de-
veloped, and though the rise in the
various indices was less spectacular
than in the United States, it was stead
Ter and more prolonged and was fol-
lowed by less recoil when the initial
impetus had spent its force.
Thus a gain of perhaps one-third in
the most representative economic
barometers in the country was regis
tered at the peak of the recovery dur
ing the late Summer, and there is an
sll-around improvement Of at least II
per cent as the year approaches its
.S.oSe.

ZOO SUSPENDS
OCELOT KEEPER.

One drink, taken with Wash

tanner, cost William E. Kern,
keeper at the Zoo, just $3125.
Kern was suspended for one
week without pay by DR.. William
M. Mann, Superintendent of the
Zoo, following a hearing yester-
day. The hearing failed to dis
close how Or" Aubrey G. Miller,
whose bout with the ocelot
landed him in Jail on charges of
drunkenness and taking Govern
ment property last Sunday, got
the 15-pound pretty kitty" out
of the Zoo.
Kern admitted having lone
drink" with Miller, but denied
Miller's story that the keeper in
vited him to pick out any animal
as a souvenir of the occasion.
The suspension was given Kern
for taking a drink on duty, DR..
Mann said, and the famous oce-
lot kidnapping case is now closed
as far as the Zoo is concerned.
But next week Miller, whose
name is not to be found on the

swer charges of taking the pretty
