W'welve Thousand altar-lo Manufac- turers Require wood m Leaving out of consideration the numerous industries engaged in the production of shingles, lath, ties, bridge-timber and rough lumber, there still remain at least thirty-eight difâ€" ferent industries in Ontario more or less dependent on wood for their operations, and it is significant that even the makers of wood substitutes require wood in the process of manu- facturing such. The exhaustion of Ontario’s wood supplies, the depletion '-of which is already evident from the fact that over oneâ€"quarter of the total expenditure of $19,161,384 is paid for imported wood stock, would seriously cripple every Ontario industry. Thirty-four different kinds of wood were used by these industries in. the manufacture of everything in wooden' produce from toys tothreshing mach; ‘ines. Only eight of these woods had to be entirely _obtained from outside sources, but, on the other hand, only .six were entirely home grown.‘ How- ever, almost 90 per cent. of the three principal species, namely, pine, spruce and maple, ‘ ,which represented over one-half the total quantity used, were .._purchased in Ontario. The sash'and door industry easily among the wood- ‘tusing industries, using 31.3 per cent. 'of the 807,456,000 feet, board measure, of rough lumber annually worked up by the one thousand two hundred 'Ontario manufacturers reporting to the Forestry Branch. The importance of this one industry will better be understood by comparison with the 119,496,000 feet, board ' measure, of was re "total ' consumption. . THE QUESTlDN 0F SLANG JAN/aye Changing, as Youth Must Have ; ' its Own Variety > : However much slang we may use purselves, we all dislike and despise plang that is not our own. Old men, lwho have tender memories of the blang of their own youth, see nothing but pertness and vulgarity in the slang pf their grandsons, and for all of us lthere comes a‘time when We no lon- ger feel contemporary with the slang of the present, when We have no part gin making or using it, and have to ask .what it means when we first hear it ~iused. Then the new slang words Leeem to us presumptuous upstarts. .expressive of the general brainless presumption of youth, and indeed they [are expressive of that free masonry ,of_ youth which we no longer share. Slang, in its first meaning, seems to have been the language of thieves, and it still keeps’something of this first meaning in that it is the language ‘of youth keeping its own secrets from middle age, and a token by which the young recognize all who are of their fellowship. That is the reason why it is always changing, for youth must always make its own slang afresh. The slang of five years ago is middle-aged. and has associations that are already hestile. No self- -respecting youth can use the slang of his uncle; indeed, he pities his uncle for finding any savor or fun in words so old fashioned. Elderly men have always protested against the “vulgarity of new slang and professed to, fear that the English language "would be utterly corrupted by it. 'But the language outlives the slang, for the slang passes with the youth that made it, or only stays when it expresses a newly-discovered thing “rather than a mood that is always v __- With. the Habit-rots In the province of Quebec, as one can see from reading Doctor Drum- mond's charming book, “The Habi- tant," seldom a night passes,,no mat- ter how stormy, without 15 to 20 neighbors gathering together at one of the French farm heuses, which are strung close together for 100 miles along the banks of the St. Lawrence, "not PANAMA CANAL “l gross 0r HUMOR A Digest of interesting Facts About Laughter One of the Finest Tonics the Great Short Cut Time required to go through the canal, from ten to twelve hours.

The human system broken down either by overwork or“ by working in one particular groove to the detriment of the other parts of the nervous system demanded, said ' the professor, a “pick-me-up" of some sort, and one was laughter. A man or woman with a tired-out feeling might work himself or herself into a second or a third wind' as it were, and in the end accomplish something brilliant, but that was more frequent- ly than not the way to physical and mental destruction. Men and women v must have a distinct change of life after an arduous day’s work. Merely going off to sleep was not sufficient. Dealing with the problem of recreation as a_ form of rest, Professor Barnes said England had $250,000,000 in- vested in permanent paid players en- gaged in sport, and Scotland out of her 16,000,000 acres devoted 3,000,000 I of these to sport. It was a pity that women had so little interest in or- ganized sport,"’Which was a recreatlve l of marvelous power. Music and art Were not forms of recreation unless those educational senses had been trained. When men and wbmen balanced their lives with a sufllcient amount of recreation they had arrived at a very largesolution of the prob- lem of life. â€".-«.â€" WW RULES FOR BUSINESS (:‘olllERfS3 W Don’t give to a collector just to get rid of' him.

C. E. Whitta- ker who took his audience on a pic- torial tourof the Arctic megion, start- ing at Athabasca Landing, proceeding north to St. Matthew’s Anglican Church at Fort McPherson, the .most northerly church of the British Em- pire, being 100 miles within the Arctic .Uircle. Views were shown depicting the habits and customs of the Eskimo and the progress of civilization, among them. Referring to certain strictures that have been made and the asperâ€" lions cast on the work of missions in the'Far North by some individuals, the lecturer was able to prove these .were not only uncharitable, but un- lfounded. Twenty years of mission . Work among the Eskimo had» been pro- ductive of great beneficial results. (When the Church sent the first mis- !Iionaries to the Eskimo those people Ehad every mark and every habit of ibarbarism. These conditions [had been changed. Instead of living in ’snow houses. as formerly, most of 'them now lived in huts built on hy- ;gien_ic principles. The missionaries idid not attempt to Change any habits “of the Eskimos that Were not hurt- ‘ ful to their character. Any evil habits they had contracted were due to the influence; of certain commercial ad- venturers, whose regard for the ten commandments was not very strong. ‘I‘hat class of people were enemies to religion and morality wherever they went. To prevent any of the “ad- venturer class from contaminating the ‘Blonde Eskimos’ " the Church pro- posed to estsablish a mission among them at the earliest possible moment. COOKING AS A REFUGE I A well known Parisian, a club man .md sportsman, disappeared from the boulevards and its diversions and'was lound in a monastery, where he was acting as cook. He was tired of the old life, he says. No other reason. ,Let us place our emphasis less on 'the monastery than on its kitchen. IDther French nobleman have retired to monasteries, but few have taken an 'sctivo hand in the cooking. Very likely this particunlar count, only too :well aware of the emptiness and on: 'sataisfactorineee of this earlier life, yearned to turn his hand to some- othtnc practical and usetul. Being a French count, he turned his hand to cooking. There is nothing more prac- tical and useful than that. There is nothing which, when wall done, is capable of yielding a more general satisfaction all round. Every man should be able to cook a little. and should «name appreciation and re- spect for good cooking by others. Of course there drawbacks to such a wear. Few cooks can enjoy their on cooking and tow get a duo mea- sure of praise tor their work, how- ever well done. Perhaps the count is an exception. Since he has kept his “place” two years. he may enjoy his workuenartutifnotelegour- not. and he may .have been heartened. now and then, by a word of appro- bation from the brethren he serves. . Such e word goes well in any kitchen. W... .._ ._ .~_~_â€"-â€"-â€"â€"- M BRITISH nusnlcsu BUSINESS COLLEGE Yonge '& McGlll Sts., Toronto,0nt., is the pioneer high grade Business School of Canada.
