Car Loadings Off Sharply For End Of Year â€" Decrease Of 1 1,780 Noted In Ottawa Figures forest product* by 17,3(58 ears, or 21.0 per cent., lumber by 15,9oa ears, or 24.3 per cent., pulpwood by 1 15,742 cai-3, or 32.7 per cent., and I livestock by 5,418 cars, or 7.4 per . cent. Ottawa â€" Car loading.? on Can- adian railroads for the week ended December 29 amounted to 29,334 cars, as against 29,360 cars for the last week of 1933 and 41,1J4 cars for the previous week, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports. This decrease of 11,730 cars was consid- erably greater than the normal and the index number dropped from 71.29 to 63.98. It is possible that ths Christmas holiday falling en Tugs day had a greater reducing effect than in 1933 when the holiday was •n Monday. Total loadings for the 52 week.- •mounted to 2.319,936 cars in 1934, 2,031,970 cars in 1933, 2,175,625 cars in 1932 and 2,575,450 cars in 1931.

Is soing to olT.'r a tremendous source of wealth and power to the Dominion. Within a few years, be prophesied, villages and towns will spring up right across the entire po- lar circle and theoe will form the nucleus of a new Empire with end- i leas possibilities dne to its natural resources and undiscovered mineral ^ wealth. Describing the recent and remark- able mineral discoveries in the Great Bear Lake district, Mr Finnie strongly denied that transportation still offers an iusolvable problem in this district. "The popular belief has been that the only way to get the minerals out of this district is by airplane," he said, "and mining experts have fig- \ ured this cost to be too expensive. But this summer the Hudson's Bay Company and the .Vortliern Transpor- tation Company, have been arrang- ing new and modern methods of river transportation." A Law Every Mother Should Know and Observe Never Give Your Child An Vnknotcn Remedy tcithout Asking Your Doctor First According to any doctor you ask, the only safe way is na/er to give your child a remedy you don't know all about, without asking him first. When it comes to "milk of magnesia," that you know evei^- where, for over 60 years, doctors have said "PHILLIPS' Milk of M^nesia for your child." So â€" always say Phillips' when you buy. And, for your own peace of mind, see that your child gets this; the finest men knmv. Made in Canada. You can assist others by refusing to accept a substitute for.tj''' genuine Phillips' Mi" nesia. Do this in the interest ok yourself and vourc hildrcn â€" and in llie in- terest of the put)lic in general. Phillips' Paralysis Its Control Or Prevention Is Still Believed Far Away No means of controlling of preven- ting infantile paralysis or poliomye- litis has yet been found, Dr W. Lloyd Aycock of Harvard reports. He thinks little of protective vaccination. Even with an effective vaccine there Is no satisfactory method of determin- ing which children should be vaccin- ated. Most of us are immune to infan- tile paralysis because we have bad imperceptibly mild doses of it. Dr. Aycock would like to select the sus- ceptible. Tests would have to be made among the very young. Even â- here there would be uncertainty. Few children would prove to be immune, yet many would develop immunity without contracting a violent case of the disease. Dr. Aycock believes that the key may lie in he cdity. By studying family histories it might be possible to learn more about the nature of transmitted susceptibility. Ultimate- ly the relatively small portion of the population most likely to acquire the disease could be selected. To tils small portion preventive measures not feasible for the entire population might be applied. One Exception Royal Bank of Canada Pi'esents Strong Statement Morris W.

Wil- son Preahient, and .Managing Dt- recior, paUl iribuie to the distin- guished .service remiert-ii tu ihe bank by Sir Herbert Holi, who bad piesided ac successive Annual Meetings fi^r over a quarter of a century, and wliuse outstanding ability and prestige have been Im- portant laclors la the sound and cousisieni growth of the bank dur- ing his regime. In commenting on the strong Statement presented to the meet- ing, .Mr. Wilson said thai it re- flected a year of operations under distinctly improvetl conditions, both at home and abroad. Referring to the recent revision of the Hank Act and t>he Act In- corpon:,ing the Bank of Canada, he stated that at the public hear- ings preceiling these enactments the bankers were able to justify their administration. He warned that the curtailment of earning power resulting from restrictiuns upon interest rates chargeable by banks and the withdrawal of note- issuing priviloires will inevitably reduce ttie ability of banks to maintain unproductive branches in small communities. Banking profits have never been excessive, and if an efficient banking system is to be maintained, there is a point beyond which enforced economies to meet falling revenue.s on one hand, and increased taxation on the other, cannot safely be carried. Referring to la-xation, Mr. Wil- son said; â€" "For every dollar paid iu divid- ends last year we paid sixty-seven cents to the Canadian tax-gatherer. This does not take into account the income tax paid by our share- holders tibemselves on dividends received from the Bank. Surely these figures require no comment." In discussing the improved con- ditions In C.anada, Mr. Wilson pointed out that during the past year manufacturing and employ- ment have approximated the lev- els of 19-iJ ; iron and steel produc- tion, the output of automobiles, textiles and electrical energy had increased and the value of exports notably lumber and minerals, had advanced substantially. The w>heat crop was no larger, but fortunate- ly, higher prices prevailed. The value of field crops had increased over $100,0000,000 and the enhanc- ed purchasing power of the farm- ers had stimulated trade through- out the country. There iias been increased demand for Canadian mineral products abroad and it is anticipated that the output of Canadian gohl mines will exceed $100,000,000, as compared with $85,000,000 iu 1933. The building boom in Great Britain created un- precedented dumand for Canadian lumber and a record volume of shipments has been made during the past year. He meniioned the importance of the tourist trade to Canada, which had amounted to over* $300,000,000 a year and for several years brougiit more money into Canada than our W'Ueat ex- ports. Newsprint. "Demand from the United States for newsprint has been strong, with the rcstilt that the output of the Canadian mills in 1934 was more than twenty-fi>e per cent, higher than in the previous year. In fact, it was within five per cent, of the peak year of 1929. Prices however, were even lower than in economies operations have contin- 1933 and, despite the most rigid ued on an unprofitable basis. The Railway Situation "The railway situation continues to be the most important economic problem in Canada. Obviously, the Canadian people cannot stand In- definitely a weekly drain of over $1,000,000 for railway delicits, and the time is rapidly approaching when more drastic and effective action will have to be taken If we are to maintain national credit and solvency." Referring to world affairs, the President said that la spite of tense political situations during the past year, business iias con- tinued to improve. Production in Great Britain and several other countries was greater than iu 1928. 'It is only in the countries of the gold bloc where business has be- come materially worse during the year. Worhl trade, however, must be released from the muliitude ot new restrictions which were am- ong the worst products of the de- pression, if it is to regain healthy â- vigor. Excessive economic national- ism has proved a dangerous boom- erang, striking down home indus- tries as well as those of foreign countries. 1 believe that the pen- dulum of opinion has begun to swing toward better economic re- lationships bvtween countries, and I look upon this new attitude as a happy augury ot further favorable developments during \\w coming year. The Capitalistic System "It is not surprising thai new social experiments should have been undertaken In many countries m the liope of mitigating the suf- Spells "Olibanum" And Wins G>ntest (Xew York Times.) fering ircidental to violent booms and depressions. Uudjiibtedly, the war placed a great strain upon the capitalistic sjstem. That system li.is betn the rt-siilt of a process of evoiuiiou and as sucli has beou subject to uiodilicaiions from time to time to mei-t changing condi- tions. Kiirthir moditicatluns and changes may be a nece.ssity il we a e to be rid of tlie evils of major depressions. The difficulties in the distant past were tlie outcome of shortages, .-^t tbe present moment the major difficulties have to do with the distribution of an increas- ing surplus which tends to exceed purchasing power. Increasing at- ti'ntlon must be given to measures which win provide for a freer and m ;re even flow in the exchange of .sooiis and seiwlces. Insofar as the "New Deal" in t.he United States, or economic experiments in other pans cf the world, may provide a workable an.swer to this problem, we should not hesitate to profit by that solution. Social and economic e:;periment3 which fail, however, are usually costly and it is prudent iind wise to "maKe haste .slowly" in changing fundamental principles o:" the existing system. The Outlook "For more than a year and one- half there has been a distinct up- ward trend in business activity, improvement has been general in practically all branches ot agricul- ture, industry mining and trade, .\t the beginning of the new year conditions, botii at home and abroad, favor a continuation of tins nward trend. It is true that in (.'anada there remain a number of difficult problems for whicii prac- tical, solutions are necessary, but I believe that the Canadian people have the courage and ability to solve such problems in a rational manner. It is upon the basis of past performance that I look for- ward to 1933 with renewed con- tldence." General Manager's Address la his remarks, Mr. S. G. Dob- sou, newly appointed General Man- ager, referred to the very satisfac- tory nature of the Annual Report and Balance Sheet presented. He said in part: â€""After several years of declining figures, due to gen- eral conditions, I am glad to say the irend has not only been arrest- i ed, but under most headings has been reversed, in some in- stances to a substantial degree." In reviewing the Financial State- ment, he said:â€" "Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the Balance Sheet is the increase of over $30,- 000.000 in total deposits by the public. The total is now $012,579,- 453. Canadian branches contrib- uted $41,000,000 of this total In- crease of which $11,000,000 is in the Savings category. It is interest- ing to note that an increase in de- posits was shown by every prov- ince in the Dominion, "Current loans in Canada show an increase for the first time since 1929, and are up over $10,000,000. This is a significant change, reflec- ting, as do other items in the Balance Sheet, a heartening in- crease in Canadian business ac- tivities." .Mr. Dobson pointed out that all banks in Canada, because of their easy cash position, are looking for desirable loaning business, and the comparatively small increase un- der this heading reflects a lack ot demand for loans, rather than a restriction of credit. "Profits for the year were $4,- 39S.217, but are not properly com- parable with published profits for the previous year because hereto- fore they were reported after de- ducting Provincial taxes, but be- fore Federal taxes. For the sake of uniformity, and tlie fuller in- formation of shareholders, both classes of taxes are now disclosed in the published report. .Making al- lowance for the resulting increase tinder this heading, profits are lower by $26.S,448, leaving $1,506,- 804 to be carried forward la Profit & Loss Account, after the usual deductions for dividends, taxes, etc. "In keeping with the downward trend in Interest rates and Ijie re- sulting difficulty in emploving funds profitably, the bank "and most other institutions accepting doposlts reduced their rates on in- terest-bearing accounts U of 1"^ from November 1, 1934. This has had a beneficial efifect upon bond prices, and has helped to reduce the cost of Dominion and Provin- cial financing." -Mr. Dobson made special refer- ence to the satisfactory results achieved by the branches outside ot Canada and the valuable assist- ance they 1iave given to exporters in the development of their trade in the countries where the bank is represented. In conclusion, he said; â€" 'On the whole, 1934 may be rc- ijarded as a. year of substantial re- covery tor Canada. While we still have many problems to solve, we have, I believe, every justification for looking forward with confid- ence to a further improvement iu conditions during 1935." Hiirh school teachers, economists, business executives and an editor were spelled (^ovvn in Town Hall by Sam Pope Brewer, a reporter on the New York Herald Tribune, in s spelling bee between college and non-i'ollnp'e teams. John H. Cowie of the Town Hall Club, which has been staging the contept.s annually for three years, gave words from Phyfe's "5,000 Words Often .Misspelled," and after they seemed too easy he turned to a special list culled from 'Webster's upahri(i!re<i dictionary. There were about twenty con- testants on each side, about the same tnimber of men as women. ".A.pparel" tripped a woman on the non-college side as the first Tictim. Then Miss Mabel Goodrich. an editor ac Macmillan's, went down on "bolfafnier." "I'd have sworn there were two 'IV just as in 'vellum,'" she said as she came out of line. "Chevron" eliminated another woman. She spelled it "cheveron." Then Ted Bratinis^an, an engineer for the Public Service Company of New Jersey, blushed and said "pass" when he got "'diocese." He was out. In the audience women trying to be helpful were making sig^ns with their mouths in attempts to save floundering contestants, but they gave the wronp letters as often as they !3:ave the right ones. Mrs. Doris Webster, who wrote "I've Got Your Number," a book on self-analysis, and whose husband is a grandncphew of Mark Twain, went out on "aberration"; she spel- j led it with two "b's". A. E. Good- 1 hue, vice president of the Chicago ; Pneumatic Tool Company, put an j "e" in luxuriant and went to the I sidelines. | The New York Times reporter spelled "dominoes" without an "e" and was counted out. Mrs. Maud Nathan, a cousin of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo of the ; United States Supreme Courts, who | had stayed through a long list of j the more difficult words, stumbled : on "bivouac," but she recovered in time to pull through. She went down eventually though, on "xylo- phone." Joseph .\Isop, who was reporting the match for the Herald Tribune, j slipped on "dyeing"; he left out the "e". "Frolickling" eliminated Victor Whitlock, a lawyer â€" he left out the "k" â€" and "myrmidon" eliminated ^ another contestant on the college side.

Neither Mr. Brewer nor Miss Hel- mulii could speil "pian-^tty." which is "an Irish melody for the harp." But that was explainable, for every one in the room thought the reader was calling out "planked steak." On a vote the word was eliminated from the contest. "Opiphagism" was easy for Mr. Brewer, and Miss Helmuth took "opodeldoc" in her stride. Both missed on "oneirocritic," although Mr. Brewer got it on his second try. "Olibanum" was too much for Mi.-^s Helmuth. She spelled it with an "e." Mr. Brewer spelled it prop- erly and the match was over. By this time only college entries ' were in the bee â€" Mr. Brewer, rep- resenting Yale: Miss Lou Helmuth of the University of California, who teaches in a New York high school;! Miss C. R.
