RADIO PERMEATES ALL CANADIAN LIFE Possibility of Benefit to This Country is Extensive and it Has Been Widely Adopted. COAST LINE DEMANDS EFFICIENT SERVICE. According to Government estimato t)i«Te are about 300,000 radio receiv- ers in Canada, and conservatively it Is fiRured there are a million constant lintencrB. Approximately 150,000 radio receivers were licenced durinjf the year 1926, states the Radip Bmnch Dept. of Marine and Plflber- les, 15,000 more than the year before, this number representing about half of those in use. Figures of licenses issued would sugtrest that Ontario it the greatest devotee by a wide lead, followed by Quebec, then by the four Western provinces, and lastly by the Maritimes. This refers to all sta- tions though the majority are private receiving stations operated by indi- viduals. In many of the phases of Its econ- omic life, Canada would appear to be • land specially created as the sphere of the radio, where its Influence is greatest, its possibility of benefit widest. Though wireless has been in existence in Canada for some time before the advent of radio was hailed •nthusiustlcally, it was generally adopted throughout the land, anJ rapidly came to permegte (jvcy phasQ of its life. It is playing its pSrt in trade, shipping, forestry, and the fish- eries, has linked civilization with the yet untamed places of the Dominion and Iwen a further factor in revolu- tionizing the existence of the pioneer agriculturist. LICENSEn STATIONS. Licensed stations in the Dominion are divided a.s follows: â€" Coast sta- tions 30; Direction Finding stations 8; Beacon stations fi; Radiophone sta- tions 4; (iovernment ship stations 28; Commercial ship .stations 252; Limit- ed Coaitt ftations 3; Public Comme.-- cial stations i>; Private Commercial stations 59; Private Commercir.l Broadcasting stations 55; Amaleur Broadcasting stations 10; Radio-telo- graph training schools 9; Kxperi- mental stations 37; Amateur Kxperi- TTiental «tntions 37; and Private Re- ceiving stations 134,480. Canaila's extensive coast lino .lo- mands an elTlcicnt radio service; 48 Coast Ktations have been established on shoro to communjiate with ships at (•Oil. Th« coast station system consists of two chains, one extending from Vancouver to Prince Rupert i>n the Pacific, and the other from Port Arthur to the Atlantic Ocean In Iho east. The primary aim of the coast station organization is to provide fa- cilities whereby any ship within 600 rnlles of the Canadian coast ran •â- - tablish instant touch with shore. Constant watrh, twenty-four hours a (lay. is maintained at practically all the stations, these handling al>out 7,- 00<»,IM)0 words a year. These Htations give general aid to navigation, comnuinicato with .ships In distress, and in addition certain of them on Imth coasts and the great lakes broadcast information to iiav. gators covering weather forecasts, position and nature of dangers to ra'ii'iition, etc Urgent Itirorniation, â-  uch lis hurricane wai iiiii|.'H, is limad- cast imniediali'ly on rwcipt.

Thirty- three of these stations handle com- mercial traffic to and from ships. OF AID TO KI8H1NG. FORESTRY, i MINING. The coast system is naturally of in- 1 valuable aid to fishermen and tha fishing industry In general. More than one province uses the radio as I i>art of its precaution against forest fires, keeping rangers in constant touch with each other and with head- quarters. Planes on fire patrol have been equlp^d with radio, enabling them to communicate information at any time to their bases. Several of the larger pulp and paper companies have similar communication between different parts of their limits and be- I tween the limits and headquarters. ^ Prospectors and mining men In the newly opened northern fields are in ready communication vrith the outside world through the medium of radio. , The mounted police posts and isolated I trading post of the Sub-Arctic re- ' giona are in daily touch with the larger Canadian centres, not only in- creasing their efficiency but consider- ably reducing the rigors of their ex- istences. In peculiarly eflfectlve man- ner radio has come to play a largo part in all phase* of Canadian fron- tier life. ADVANTAGES TO FARM LIFE. Probably the most wndespread revo- lution the radio has wrought in Can- ada, however, has been In the farm home. The figures of radio licenses issued in Western Canada are strlk- : ing, and this factor Coming on top , of the general construction of fine provincial roads and the universal U!«e of the autotnobiie has altogether changed the exintence of the agricul- I turist of this area from what it was l)efore the war. The only drawliack from which the Western fanner might be said to have suffered In the past, if indeed it can so be termed, was his remoteness from the popu- lous centres. To-day he is in cease- lesH touch with them, and their plea- sures and facilities are at his com- mand. Modern pioneering has bee.i robbed of all its terrors. Canada has been progressive In advance of other countries in its in- stitution of a section of the Radio Branch to comliiit preventable inter- ference. Oovernnient deiKrts for this purpose have been established at Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Van couver, Montr<al and Halifax, and these equipped with automobiles fit- ted with spoclal instruments and ap- paratus. When radio fans are trou- bled by interference they simply get in touch with the nearest (iovern- ment radio inspector's office, and register their complaint, when an ex- pert starts In a car t^i locate the sourco of the interference, and, if jMiKsible, to corrtM-t It. This depart- ment's work has met with very great success. <. - Canada Talc Deposits.

These deposits are usu- ally referred to as the bituminous sands of Northern Alberta. While the deposits themselves are very ex- tenfllTe, and represent the largest known occurrences of solid asphaltic material, the actual area that is read- ily accessible for commercial opera- tion Is probably not more than thre<» square miles. The rest of the de- posits lie beneath a heavy overbur- den and will be relatively expensive to operate commercially. The bitu- men content of the more valuable portions of the beds varies from 12 to 15 per cent., with highei; percen- tages in limited areas. The crude material hae been used for surfacing sidewalks and highways. Separated bitumen can be used for Indiutrlal pur- poses. ♦ ONLY GOOD TEA GOOD VALUE.

According to an investigation by. the Department of Agriculture, thi greatest single item in the cost of farm machinery Is repairs. It iS obvious, therefore, that care in hand* ling, oiling, tightening bolts, paint- ing, etc., presents the gxeatest op- portunity for saving. Careful hous- ing of the machinery is important in Eastern Canada, but not so import- ant on the prairie. On small farm.i, considerable saving may be effected by using expensive machinery in co- operation with neighbors. On large farms, the efficiency in saving manual labor may justify the purchase of ex- pensive machinery. «â-º Mlnard's Liniment soothes tired feet. only too well-known to him, plain men of the jjcople, unassuming, well- a portion of some' 'â- ""'"♦'i' ""<' informed, sceptical; not ' plicd on the lower part of the bodice. . improbably shrewd hands in the ' The modish sleeveless bolero jacket l<irn.„n nf » Vi '"f- taking.
