In order to show him he was wrong he sent away to a Canadian maker of such materials and took them over to his friend. He was amazed at the quality and range of materials, and more amazed when he .

We have enough confidence in Can- adian skill and honesty in-the selec- tion and handling of materials to be- '| lieve that there is being produced in this country just as good, and in some cases, a better article than many that are imported. And yet the Canadian article suf- fers from the handicap of not being imported. The very thing which should be so much in its favor-- made at home--is one of the things which is urged against it. * x 0% pe There used to be a feeling that a person had to go to the United States to get good shoes; there was a mys- terious "something" in those shoes from across the line that was lack- ing in the Canadian-made article. This prejudice is giving way in view of the fact that Canadian-made shoes are now known to be the equal of anything produced elsewhere, Makers of all kinds of knitted goods feel the weight of the "im- ported" idea when they seek to cap- ture their own market. They put the best material in their product, they put it up in an attractive way that conforms to the latest styles, and yet they find in their sales cam- paigns so many. people have the idea that an imported competing line must of necessity De butter, * It would not be possible to carry on a good argument at any place re- garding the desirability of having Canadian factories kept under capa- city operation. That is a fine thing; plenty of employment; pay days com- ing along with no ry off; it puts more money into circulation and helps to build up good communities. Likewise it will be admitted that these well-sustained communities provide very excellent marketing places for the surrounding district; farmers find more places to sell their produce; there are fewer people talk- ing of going away to seek employ- ment elsewhere. It is much better all around. Yet how backward are we in put- ting into effect the means of bring- ing about the conditions which we all admit would be so desirable. * * #* Probably we have inherited the idea of the excellence of the import- ed article. We have heard so much about the fine qualities and the ex- cellence of design that we may have formed the impression that such things cannot be turned out right at [ street, home, [ Canadian manufacturers know that this feeling is a hard one to overcome, and they are working all the time with plans to try and drive home the idea that Canadian made articles have styles and quality that can compete with any other product. If Canadians are not going to have some native pride in Canadian products, then it fs going to be very difficult to drive home to outside places that the output of Canadian factories has the solid merit behind it to commend it to their attention. TIMEKEEPER'S BID FOR FAME Claims He Has Has Suunred the Circle--Professors Ex- amining Formula the Canadian Pacific Railway, is making 'a bid for a place in his- tory with the claim that he has solved g problem that has baffled the scientists of the world down through the ages. Hartman says he has squared the circle--in other words that he had devised a geometric method oy which to reproduce the exact area of a circle in the shape of a square, Hartman's studies in the realms of science have produced results beyond the ken of most laymen, and it is claimed that in London there are not a handful of men able to read his formula for squar- ing the circle. University profes- sors are now examining it. An original supper dish is made by melting one tablespoon butter in spider, adding one cup diced celery and two large onions and cooking slowly until tender but not brown, adding about two cups cold roast lamb diced, and three or four cups cooked macaroni; adding lamb gravy to moisten well.
