While the. perfecting of the telephone instrument as used in commercial Hfe to-day represents the contributions of many men, including Refs in Germany, Hughes dn England, Gray, Blake, Edison and Gilfland in the United States, Alexander Graham Bell is recognized as the originator of the first instrument to transmit the human voice by wire, and the re- ceiver in common use is his patent. The principal was his original con caption, and while improvements in the device were made, none can ever take hway his clatm to the invention that contributed so much to the wel- fare of humanity. He lived to see the world profit by his genius and to receive the acknow- ledgement due to his work, and if he contributed nothing else during his long {ife the universal value of the | telephone has given him a place |among the great benefactors of the | world that will remain for all time. | The city of Brantford erected a m¥n- ument in his honor in 1917, and he was present and described his early | |successes there in 1874 and 1.78, | that were later developed in Boston, | Mass., Into practical use when it be- | came possible to carry on conversa- | tion over the wires. He had a hard | fight in the courts for his patents, i but they were confirmed to him after ia long period of litigation. \.

But for the advent of labor troubles, the return to prosperity would have been much more pro- nounced than it has been. In spite of the strikes, the forward movement is regarded as most encouraging. The recovery in the steel industry, which is placed in the fifth order of priority, is now threatened with a set-back by the coal strike, already felt in many directions. If the labor troubles are not quickly settled this indus'ry will be forced to close and the resulting unemployment will undo all that has 'been accomplished in the past nine months, | ALONG LIFES DETOUR | BY SAM HILL Happy, Though Married.

Incidentally, we learn the vast difference between geological data and commercial facts. It is in- teresting to be told that Canada's coal reserves have been estimated at 1,234,269,000,000 metric tons, but we are more concerned just now about early delivery of anthracite and bituminous supplies from the United States that have beén inter- rupted by the sirikes. An idea of the immensity of the | miners' strike In the United States is gained from reports showing an- nual normal production and con- sumption in that country. Since min- ng was started there 14,000,000,000 tons have been consumed and the average consumption attained at the time the strike occurred was 1,000,- 000 tons per day, During the years 1914 to 1920 the production of coal in the United States exceeded the combined output of Britain, France and Germany.

Total ex- ports during the war exceeded one billion dollars in value, Under the circumsfhnces it is folly for United States dealers to look to Britain for supplies of coal which, at best, could provide a smal measure of relief for coast cities, The situa- tion calls for the most prompt settle- ment in order that the movement of coal may be resumed at the earliest moment, and the public can rest as- sured that there will soon be an end to the strikes, the most serious of which is the railway etrike that pre- vents the distribution of available surplus coal, Local coal dealers state that there is still plenty of time in which to satisfy the requirements of Ontario before the close of navigation, and, oven should there be several weeks delay, sufficlent quantities could be imported direct by rail through the winter to meet all requirements, SUBSTANTIAL BUSINESS RE- - COVERY. American financial institutions re- port important and distinct gains in business recovery during the past few months, The Commerce Monthly, fAugust) New York, shows the ex- tent of the improvement by a com- parison of trade and production sta- tistics since the first of the year with the corresponding periods in 1921. It says: "While the value of exports for the first half of 1922 is considerably lower that for 1921, it is largely a reflection of price changes. Car. loadings, exclusive of coal, are more than eleven per cent. above the prey- ious period; pig iron production fs nearly twénty-eight per cent. higher, and steel ingots fifty per cent. higher. sixty per cent., and cotton consump- tion eighteen per cent. There was a notable gain Im imports of British textiles, notably In manufactured cotton and worsteds.
