It is with astonishment that I read the suggestion of M. Jean Patou, a celebrated dress designer of Paris, that one reason for the vogue of the short skirt was the fact that towards the end of the war people were short of money. This association of the abbreviated skirt with financial stringency is new to me, and I should doubt whether in the fashion world, for which M. Patou designs his dresses, the saving in material was noticeable in the dressâ€" maker‘s bill. Any saving would surely be more than counterâ€"balanced by the extra expenditure on silk stockings, which in the new mode became a most important feature.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO GEOLOGIGAL GONDHTIONS IN THE PATRIGIA SECTION Mowey Close to the Producing Stage. About a Dozen Other Companies Engaged in Underground Work. So many in this district are connectâ€" ed directly or indirectly with the proâ€" gress of the mining properties in the Patricia area that information in reâ€" gard to that district is sure to be of interest. Last week The Toronto Globe had an article on the Patricia district that will no doubt receive some attenâ€" tion. The heading of the article was: "General Geological Conditions Now Receiving Attention in Patricia Area." The Globe said:â€" "With the closing down in recent months of the Jacksonâ€"Manion, Dunâ€" kin and Bobjo operations in the Patâ€" ricia gold area, attention of the general public has, for the time being at least, tuned to other camps. One mineâ€" the Howeyâ€"is now close to the producâ€" ing stage, and there are about a dozen other companies engaged in underâ€" ground development or surface explorâ€" ation. The freezeâ€"up has resulted in a slowing up of the activities apparcen! during the summer months, but it i expected that considerable work will be carried out next spring. "To date there has been only a limitâ€" ed amount of money spent in the Patâ€" ricia district, which embraces a treâ€" mendous prospecting area. Colin Campbell, wellâ€"known Timmins engiâ€" neer, who has been in the Narrow Lake section for the past year and a half, is in the city at the present time, and he foresees a bright future for the disâ€" trict. Mr. Campbell points out that there is still a huge area to be prosâ€" pected, and states that the various camps all have different geological conditions. While a number of the properties will work all winter, Mr. Campbell expects a busy spring, and intends returning to the camp as soon as winter roads are available. bring in a mine. It is expected they are drifting on the 300â€"foot level at the "Favourable results are being seâ€" cured on the McIntyre holdings, and also on those of the Casey Mountain Syndicate, in the Birch and Summit lake section. These properties are about 30 miles from the Narrowâ€"Woman lake area, where fairly heavy staking was under way some time ago. At the south end of Woman Lake on the Onâ€" tario Woman Lake property, a diamond drilling programme is being carried out and the results from the first few holes are said to have been quite satisfactory. A continuation of good results from this property will likely result in the installation of a plant during the winâ€" ter months. North of Narrow lake, the Bathurst Mines Limited are making one of the most persistent efforts to "Mr. Campbell tells The Globe that mining operators in the Patricia disâ€" trict are now realizing the importance of general geological conditions, as compared with the comparatively small quartz stringers and showings of "free gold" on which work has been more or less concentrated in the past. The three properties mentioned above. as having closed down recently all had spectacular surface showings of "free gold." In fact, different engineers who visited them stated that they had never seen richer showings. . With attention now turning more to geological condiâ€" tions, Mr. Campbell is highly hopeful of the future outlook for the whole area. ‘"The magnitude of the Patricia Disâ€" trict is hardly realized by the general mining fraternity, according to Mr. Campbell. Activity in the district since the Red Lake rush of four years ago has been more or less confined to zone roughly paralleling the C.N.R., and lying about 100 miles north of the transcontinental line. This zone comâ€" mences at Red Lake, which first atâ€" tracted attention, and then runs east, taking in the Woman Narrow, Birch and Clearwater Lakes area, then on to the Shonia, or Cat lake area, the Pickle lake and Crow river area, and then to the Fort Hope section. The distance from Red Lake to the Fort Hope camp is around 250 miles. "A number of properties are carrying out xtensive programmes on underâ€" ground work and diamond drilling. Metals Development Syndicate is one of the most active operators in the Womanâ€"Clearwater lake sections. A shaft has been carried to a depth of 100 feet, and about 150 feet of driftâ€" ing completed on goldâ€"bearing vyein. Good values have been secured on the 100â€"foot level, and consideration is now being given to the installation of a steam plant to carry the shaft to 500 feet. The original discovery on the surface was in the form of two small quartz stringers and work at depth is said to be revealing promising and conâ€" sistent conditions. It is understood that a meeting of the directors will shortly be held to consider the installaâ€" tion of a larger plant. "The distance of the various camps from the railway has added to the difâ€" ficulties encountered in opening up the properties. The bringing into producâ€" tion of the Howey early next year, and the favourable conditions being met with at depth on that property, will undoubtedly be a big source of encourâ€" agement to the district as a whole. Different geological problems have faced the different sections, but in practically all cases development has been confined to the quartz veins, for which the district is famous, and reâ€" sults in many cases have been disapâ€" pointing. Now, with attention turnâ€" ing to general conditions, which are much similar to the producing camps of the province, Mr. Campbell can see no reason why important gold deposits should not be discovered. tion and in thirty years from now should be having good returns.

DIFFERENGES OF OPINION Rt DEPLETION OF FORESTS Dominion Expert Agrees With Estimate of British Expert. Quebec Authoriâ€" tics Differ. Some Experts in Ontario Think Estimate In the British House of Commons last week Sir George Courthope, who is considered as an expert on such matters, made the statement that at the present rate of depletion Canada‘s forests would be wiped out to all pracâ€" tical purposes within the next thirty years. This stattetment has caused some expressions both of agresment and disagreement. The Quebec auâ€" thorities are very emphatic in saying that it is not true of their province and so can not be correct in regard to Canada as Quebec is a very important factor in the forest industries of the Dominion and from all present indiâ€" cations will continue to be so for much more than thirty years. Quebec would not be ready to say that even double thirty years would see the end of the forest resources of that province as 1ew growth is expected to help out the ‘ife of the timber and pulp industries n the province of Quebec. A someâ€" ~what similar opinion is held by Onâ€" tario experts, though up to the time of writing this The Advance has noted no official reference to the statement of Sir George Courthope being made by any connected with the Ontario Government forestry service. The statement of Sir George Courthope will in a measure be more or less pleasing to the Montreal gentleman who is always writing to the press to point out that the forest wealth of Canada is being Border Cities Star:â€"Mayor Sam Mcâ€" Bride stridently denies that Toronto is an intolerant city. Sure, and anyâ€" one who triee to be mayor of that town has to tolerate a 10. so rapidly depleted that even thirty vyears is longer than he expected to see the timber resources Oof this country able to carry on. Sir George Courthope‘s estimate is much more depressing on its first conâ€" sideration than it seems ion closer thought. The qualifying phase, "at its present rate of depletion," leaves a fine loophole for the year 1960. If Canada is still in the lumber and pulp business thirty years from now, the answer may be made, if anyone resurrects the Courthope prophecy, that the "present rate of depletion" was not carried on for the intervening thirty years.

Canada‘s major problem, the departâ€" ment declared, was the introduction of more conservative methods of handling forest lands rather than reforestration. Facing this situation, the Dominion and Provincial Governments are coâ€" operating in scheme for an inventory of forest resources as the prime step before evolving a proper policy to cope with the problem. Forestry offcials of the Ottawa government are making an inventory of Dominion lands and conducting a study of the rate of timâ€" ber growth in various parts of the country through the research division of the department of interior. At the same time, Dominion officials here are acting as a central agency in the comâ€" pilation of returns from the different provinces based on the surveys provinâ€" cial officials are making of the forest resources in their particular domain. A meeting of representatives of the Doâ€" minion and Provincial Governments to consider the question of timber conâ€" servation in the light of these surveys is expected to be held sometime next summer.
