The overalls and hat` are usually made of the same material, and one_of the most practical mater- ials to use is khaki or heavy khaki-colored materials .

Pre- vious to his enlistment, Pte.| Brett had been employed by then C.N.R. as an engineer. He enlist-l ed at Calgary, May 27, -1915, ml the 56th Bn., but a month later was drafted into the 9th Reserve! B11. in England, and then to the 49th Bn., with which he went to France early in January, 1916. He was in the trenches unti June 27, 1916, when he received three severe wounds in the head, right hip and chest. The bullet which penetrated his chest is still `lodged in his lung, but he carries the shrapnel which was extracted from the other wounds as a souvenir of the great battle of Ypres. He was admitted to the Bolougne' No. 13 General Hospital dangerously ill and was_ transferred later to the Dustan War Hospital `and -from there,-to Kettering, then to Orpington and again to Dustan. He speaks well of the kind treatment receiced in all the different English hospit- als. He sailed for Canada on May 13, on the Letitia, arriv- ing in Halifax on May 21. After a 'week s stay in Quebec he" pro- ceeded homeward, arriving in Barrie, June 7. I The folowing evening he was tendered a reception by his friends, who met at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.'James Brett, 7th line, Vespra. l Despite the disagreeable weather of the earlier part of the day, the pro- gram was given on the lawn, which was lit up by two `large bonres, the house also being motored out from town bringing Mayor Craig and Messrs, John- ston and Hurlburt, the latter two singing songs and solos of a pa- triotic naturegwhile the former paid tribute to the returned-hero in swarm words of' welcome,` showing his work had been ap- preciated.

The standard of loading grain, for in- _stance, has remained the same for .many years,.but improvement in the engineeringvof cars has gone on stead- ily. so that the modern freight car can bear stresses greatly in excess of what. was possible twenty years ago. The result is that there is prospect of- eonsiderably increasing the load line on quite a large proportion of freight equipment, thus increasing the train capacity withougfquiring additional train. crews, in cars rated for 0V6!` [Bat 01 1310, [[113 Would equivalent to 54,800 additional oars, requiring no additional locomotives or man-power. Canadian business men are, there- fore, being urged to co-operate with the railways in their endeavor to in- crease the existing carrying capacity, by using to better advantage the pre- sent available` rolling stock. Light bulky commodities, of which there are many. should be loaded to the full cubic capacity of cars. Heavier freight should be loaded to the full carrying capacity which is 10% in excess of their stencilled capacity. _ The following guresare taken from the Railway Statistics of the Do minion of Canada, issued by the Deput.yMinister of the Department of Railways and Canals, and cover all the railways of Canada: Note.--1907 is the first and 1915 the last year for which gures are available Total tons freight carried 1 mile`. .1_1.687.t711. 83o 17.661.309.723 9Fl"A'SlI A nnnnr-ii-v nf Fr-ninrht no".
