The countries in 1934) having a larger import trade than Canada we France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States; and a larger export trade. France, Germany, the ited Kingdom and the United States. : 3 In percentage of increase amongst - the thirty-five countries Canada oc- cupied eleventh place in both imports and exports. ; Canada, in trade recovery in the calendar year 1934 compared with 1933, and 1933 compared with 1932, improved her position amongst the countries of the world. In comparing trade for different periods, it is important to bear in mind that values are not necessarily. a true measure of the quantity or volume of merchandise involved. Changes ini the nominal values of im- ports and exports over a given period may be caused by variations|. fluctuations in price, or|- in quantity, by a ny at of these factors. A preliminary compilation has = been made comparing the. value and vol- ume of Canada's trade for the fiscal "year 1934-35 with that for 1933-34. The 'declared values by main groups are shown in" tables_for-1933- 84 and 1934-85, together with the values obtained by re-valuing the quantities of 1934-35 at the average import and export prices prevailing in + 1933-84. This eliminates 'the element of price fluctuation and 'per-| mits a comparison of the volume "of trade in the two years. The declared value of imports increased . from $433,799,000 in 1933-34 to $532,431,- 000 in 1934-35, If prices. had not risen from fhe 1033-34 level, the value of imports would have increas- ed neyertheless, to $494,247,000, an inciease-of $60,448,000, indicating an ~ . nL expansion -in the volume of imports of 13.9 per cent: A: Exports increased substantially both in value "and = volume, rising from $5679,343,000 to $650,900,000 in declared value, and to $630,836,000 after allowance for: the element . of rising - prices; represénting increases of 13.9 per cent. in value, and 8.9 per cent. in volume, This jmprove- ment has: continued during the pres- ent year.

'IT'S NEVER TOO LATE" Everybody is familiar with the old adage "It's never too late to mend". It is an adage with truth in it. A letter has just come to my desk from Miss A. K,, and after reading it, 1 deeply sympathise with her for she has certainly had a tough time. Physlcally, she has had a great deal of illness, and her physical condition has undoubtedly had a mental reac- tion, Try to take your mind off your easy to do that, but you will never achieve much until you do. With a little effort it can be done, In your capacity 'as supervisor in a childrens' home you should be able to find some things to interest you 'and take your attention away' from yourself and your condition, You want to find something to occupy your attention the best way to.do that is to follow some definite line of study. You speak of taking up the study of French of or Elocution and ask it all business is promptness. ... Even a mule will develop horse sense if you treat him like a gentleman. . .--~.

It is not always. in your spare time also and perhaps | | you are too far advanced in life to do that. Of course not. "It's never too late to mend" and we never reach a time when mental development is be- yond us if we are prepared to go about it 'in the right way. Men and women have star.ed out on new ven- you are and have made success, 1 could cite a great many in:tances which demonstrate that. My advice to you is to set a definite objective be- fore yourself, and steer a straight, clear course toward that. There is- much more that I would like to say to you, but it is hardly ap- propriate to say it in this column, so I am writing to you personally and, if after receiving my letter you think I can be of further service, I will be glad to have you write to me again. Please do not hesitate. Another letter has come to me from a reader in Zurich, Here i; a young man-with a I dennite ability and a good type of mind. He has musical -ability and has played in orchestras at different times. He tells me he is handicapped 'wi.h poor health and that he suffers from bronchitis. le has not been in very steady employ- ment and he -would like me to get him a job in the city. Well. that is one thing that I can hardly undertake to do. But why my reader wants to .come to the city, I don't know. 1 think he would be well advised to remain in the country where he has all the advantages of the pure, clean, fresh air which folks in the congest- ed city areas would sometimes be willing to give a" great deal to have. Af.er all, there are opportunities in. the country and I am sure if my reader friend will look around him and use the talent that.he so obvious- ly possesses, he will find that he can make as great a success of life, and perhaps greater, in the country than he will ever be able to make of it in the city. 1 think this young man shou!d map out a course of reading for himself as a means of further preparing himself for whatever op- ening may occur, The main thing in lite is to be ready to seize the op- portunity when it presents f{tself, 1 would advise him to fix his mind on some definite' subject and then read all he can lay his hands on which periains to that subject. He should also read some good magazines. Why not, for example, subscribe for some good musical magazine 'and- go In wholeheartedly ' for the study of music? ' Sharp Winter.

She marshalled the facts that had tumbled out of the blue in the past week, They were these. © She was tired and {ll; .the doctor said she would have to have a change; there was little money.- All the -surplus they had was to-be spent on Burk's M.A. course so hg could teach. ' It had been hard gettihg Burk through college, and now it seemed he needed more "letters" to get him a school, But when Jerry, her husband, heard what the doctor had to say, he went oft and bought her a ticket and gave her enough to pay her board at the little resort for a month, Burk had been pretty silent. He had not said anything, but she could nqt forget his blank look when he heard thé news. ' UNEXPECTED TIDINGS - In her hand now, fluitered a night letter, She had read it over fifty times, but still she clung to at as ome would hold a snake that would strike it released. Burk was married. He had brought his young wife home and that was all there was to it, She was 18, did nol.know a thing about house- work, and they had no money. Jerry would be frantic. She could: picture the place with her 'away and Jerry, making scenes, Her heart fluttered and she held her side. It was all her fault. It she had taken a stand and refused to leave it would not have happened. What did - Burk mean? He hadn't sald anything about a girl; she hadn't known he was in love. He nev- er told her anything about his affairs, but she put that down to his being gensitive and shy, although his father had another name for it. She tried to think back over the years. Shé had shielded him.and shel.cred him, had gone shabby time and again to get him the best of clothes, had taken few summer trips so he could go to camps; and then, as he. got older, -increased her at. tentions to keep a grip on his affec- t'on that she felt was slipping. Cruel lit.le economies to keep him in poc- ket money; silence to his father over some of his boyish escapades. Extra 'desserts, perpetual laundering, light left on, bed tugned down just so. MARRIAGE FOR SPITE And without a word to her, her boy had done this. He knew it would bring hier home, too, at once. The telegram almost seemed to say: "Well, you shelved me this time, so I'll show you." No, she shrank from the thouglit; it. wasn't true -- Burk couldn't bg like that. In her heart she knew it: was the truth, The boy had lost sight of everything but himself. Gratitude? She had supposed all children par- tially grateful for what their parents did. But the scales had fallen. Pa- rents meant nothing to children now- adays. Only a source of supply. And it had been her fault, They would be expecting her now by next train. Suddenly she sat up and threw the telegram through the rail, She walk- ed down to the oflice and sent this message, "Congratulate Burk, but tell him he is stronger than I am. Will not come home. Rent the house furnished if you can and join me here. Burk can support Mary if he takes that job at Meyer's." When Burk got the word he exclaimed «She couldn't take it,-eh? My own mother. Come on, Mary, we'll get out and stay out if we starve. I thought she was my friend. Well, this ends {t. She'll never see me again," . i et ee Fake British Employment Agencies To Be Closed Fake employment agencies are to be put:out of business in Britain, The Ministry of Labor is consid- Exchange in London which will de- vote its whole attention to finding domestic employment.

There already have been inquiries from . persons wishing to borrow to build homes costing $10,- 000 and more, In this regard it is pointed out that the purpose of the act is to as- sist in. the building of more homes and while the hope is that it will mean a large increase in the type of homes suitable for the greater mass of the people, there is. the! conclusion that the building of higher-class homes will also con- tribute to more employment and greater use of Canadian building materials. . Interpretations of the act are be- ing made as points arise. For in-| stance, it has been ruled 'that while the act permits borrowing of 80 per, cent. of the cost of a home, it is not necessary to borrow that much if a has an equity prospectve builder higher than 20 percent. Further, it has definitely been laid down that no second-hand or shoddy materials shall be used in homes constructed with money berrowed under the act, Mexican Customs Please Canadians Ontario Woman Records, Her Impressions Of Visit" No need to go to Alaska to be cool or to Egypt to see the pyramids, according to Mrs, I. B. Flint, of London, Ont., who with her husband, attended the Rotary International Convention in Mexico City, It's never too hot and never too cool down there and the Aztec pyramids' are almost as interesting as the famous ones on the. banks of the storied Nile, : Mexico, situated 7,600 feet above sea level, has an even temperatuwe, never above 78 and 'never below 60, the visitors were told. It has re- tained many quaint customs and as yet 'has no large stores and few tourists, owing to the lack of good motor roads. In a city of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants there are only two ma- chine laundries, Mrs, Flint caid, for the women still adhere to the primi- tive 'method of washing their clothes in the streams with a flat rock to rub on. The fruit and flower mar- kets were a sight. The pyramids built by the Aztecs several hundred yeays. ago, were of great interest, Mrs, Flint said, and not the least amazing feature was a primitive but effective shower in- stalled in a niche in the wall, The delegates had a Mexican dinner "in a restaurant made in a cave below the pyramids, _ . The Floating Gardens, where land is so valuable that no houses are built on it, was also another place of interest. It is possible to raise seven crops of corn a year on this land, and if a man sells a strip he merely digs another canal instead of building a fence to define the boun- dary. : In Northern Mining Camp Tdmonton, -- Undaunted by the claim, Mrs. Shearing will be the games or in the pursuit of sport."
