Marketing and Distribution

’

‘The problem with which industry is confronted today is marketing, declares Donald M. Marvin, economist,.in the monthly letter issued by the ‘Royal Bank of Canada. To quote Mr. Marvin:

“Early economic thought had its birth in a philosophy of trade, but |

this line of thought was rapidly displaced by theories concerning production. In theory, trading operations became_a mere adjunct to prodlctive process-

place in economic literature. The engineering genius of the world has been focussed on methods of manufacture. The last half century witnessed the growth of large scale production and remarkable improvements in pro- ductive efficiency, but relatively speaking, distribution has escaped atten- tion. Today this is changing; the problem with which industry is confront- ed is that of marketing.” -

While increased attention is being given to the principles and practices of marketing, data relating to this field are far less comprehensive than for other branches of human activity. Population, production, prices, export and import, and many other kinds of statistics are available in abundance and in a high degree of excellence. Official statistics relating to agriculture, mining and manufacturing have been collected for many years. The num- ber of persons engaged in these activities is known, together with varied information concerning the quantity and quality of their products. There are no comprehensive statistics of distribution and it is in this field that the need for further information is undoubtedly most acute.

The relative merits of the chain store, department store, mail order house and the local indepéndent dealer have long been the subject of con- troversy and spetulation. The fear that the independent merchant is being crushed to the wall by an over-powering competition has frequently been expressed. What the actual situation may be, not only as regards retail trade as a whole but as regards its different branches, can only be discov- ered when adequate information concerning distribution is available.

Urgent necessity has moved many private concerns to seek information in this field, but private enterprise has gone about as far as it can go in providing this information. Unfortunately, the results have been incomplete

and only serve to emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive statistical |

study of the subject. The first requisite for such an analysis of distribu- tion is a census of all manufacturing, wholesale and retail establishments which are engaged in distribution. Such a survey will be undertaken by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in connection with the regular decennial ‘ census in 1931. The schedules will contain questions relating to the kind of business, number of employees, salaries and wages paid, inventories,

expense of doing business and capital invested. : This census will be of great. benefit to all those who wish to make an

intelligent study of the problem relating to marketing in Canada. It will |

supply the basic statistical material required, and provide a comprehensive picture of t various outlets for an extensive list of commodities and groups of commodities. The relative proportion of cash and credit sales will be given. Presentation of the data in the form of averages will furnish

a basis with which individual organizations may judge their own results. A |

picture of consumer demand in each section of the country will be present-

ed, together with information showing the various types of outlets through |

which they are now reached. Such data will be invaluable in the prepar-

ation of advertising and sales campaigns. While the advantages of this type |

of information to manufacturers and distributors is obvious, the fact that the consumer will benefit through the economies which should result, should not be overlooked.

Studies relative to the cost of living will be assisted by data showing the percentages of consumers’ purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and. other groups of products, Special methods of distribution adapted to certain districts will be shown, and additional light will be thrown on the move- ment of commodities between the various provinces of Canada. The com- pilation of these statistics 4nd others of a like character should produce material of substantial benefit to industry and trade.

The success of this survey will depend very largely on the wholehearted co-operation of those who supply the individual returns. The need for the information has become particularly urgent as advances in methods of pro- duction have pressed the problems of distribution more and more upon the attention of business “leaders. With the added iffformation made available, a real analysis of the problems of distribution will be possible and more effective measures devised for their solution. x

Improvements in air warfare are mich more important than the pub- lic has been prmitted to know.

Never- theless, naval vessels of every type are vulnerable to air attack.

The Continent Speak Highly of Garnet Wheat's Milling Value

Ottawa, Ont.—-Considerable thusiasm was expressed among mil- lers of Great Britain and on the con- tinent who investigated Garnet wheat as to its milling qualities. A report by L. H. Newman, Dominion cerealist, on the result of the in- vestigations of a specially bagged shipment of this blend of wheat over- seas has been made public. For a time at least Garnet should be ship- ped as a separate variety, instead of mixed with Manitobas. This would give the millers an opportunity of knowing the variety they were dealing with and they could treat it to the best advantage.

Garnet wheat, an early maturing variety of hard red) spring wheat, was first available to Canadian farm- ers for testing in field areas in the spring of 1926. Since then it has become increasingly popular with growers of wheat in the prairies, par- ticularly in the northern districts. The question arose should Garnet be allowed to go into the highest grade of Manitoba Northern wheat without restriction of any kind or would it be preferable to set up at least one or two separate grades for the ac- commodation of the variety or to continue to handle it as at present.

The Federal Department of Agri- culture decided to submit Garnet to test by millers in the United Kingdom, and in different European countries, A year ago 6,700 bushels were shipped overseas to men expert in-milling to obtain their opinions as to its suitability. These men were asked a series of questions, and Mr. Newman's report includes the replies they made.

In his summary of the results ob- tained from this test Mr. Newman states that while practically all in- vestigators have expressed the opin- ion that Garnet wheat or mixtures containing the same, might have to be “conditioned” a little differently than would be the present Mani- toba’s, yet this fact did not seem to be of serious moment.

On the other hand, a number of investigators spoke with considerable enthusiasm of the good milling qual- ities of Garnet wheat when milled alone or in mixtures, It should be kept in mind, however, the sum- mary explained, that in both Great Britain and on the continent it is usually milled at a higher percent- age moisture content than is the case in Canada, which fact may ac- count for the relatively good milling behaviour of this variety in the Old Country tests.

The summary continues:

“The general attitude of practic. ally all of those who. investigated this wheat in England and on the Continent during the past season, seems to have been pretty well ex- pressed in the words of Dr. Kent- Jones, whose concluding statement is repeated as follows:

“Garnet wheat, both and in baking, has certain pro- nounced characteristics. Millers will always be faced with the fact that Garnet will give stability to their blends but not quite the spring and

in milling

they need fear having to sell it at a great discount as compared with Manitobas.”

“The question as to how Garnet compares with ordinary Manitobas for blending with n6on-Canadian wheat, is one which obviously could not be answered very definitely in an investigation which had to restrict itself to the crop of a single year. There was some evidence, however, to show that there might be times when by reason of some peculiarity in the season prevailing in certain wheat-producing countries, wheat of the characteristics of Garnet might actually be of - greater value for blending purposes than would our present Manitobas, Similarly, there might be times when the latter

than if ei@her of these two wheats were used alone in the blend.

“While the questions asked speci- fically of the bakers have been fairly well answered already, yet there fare a number of points raised which are worthy of special consideration. Thus, the questions of absorption and bread yield, are points of im- portance. The findings of practical- ly all of those participating in the present investigation, are closely in agreement with the following conclu- sions: ‘Generally speaking, the flour of Marquis absorbs a little more water than does that of Garnet, and consequently, is inclined to produce Since ordinary Manitobas at the present time consist largely of Marquis, it may be safe to assume that the ten- dency is for the former to absorb a little more water than is absorbed by Garnet.’”

“Since English and European mil- lers are par excellence, Blenders of wheat, they require to know the exact properties of the wheats they use. I therefore recommend that Garnet wheat should be placed upon the market as a separate variety, and although in the first instance, its price might be slightly lower than the corresponding Manitoba, I am in- clined to think the market would rapidly appreciate its merits and there may be times when the Garnet may command the higher price.”

_ “Another investigator is éven more emphatic when he says:

“There is no doubt in my mind that we can make very good use of this wheat in London, providing we are able to buy it separately as Gar- net wheat. In fact, it has a distinct value of its own, but if mixed with Manitobas, it will not only lose its own distinctive value but will tend to greatly lower the distinctive value of the Manitoba wheats.

will also a number of distinguished visitors attending the British Medi- cal Association Convention in Winni- peg, be on hand to make the “out camp-fires’”’ increase in interest.

To reach the main camp, the party will be conveyed from Jasper town or Jasper Park Lodge by motor car to Medicine Lake, about 20 miles; to the upper end of the lake via motor boat, and from there to Maligne Lake a distance of about 9 miles, on foot, although a limited number of riding ponies will be available between the two lakes.

The main camp will be pitched close to the mouth of Coronet Creek at the south end of Maligne Lake; directly behind the camp, tower the buttressed walls of Mount Warren (10,800 feet). The first ascent of this peak was made by Max M. Strumia and William Hainsworth in 1928, who, from their camp at the mouth of Warren Creek, at the southeast corner of the lake, also made the ascent of the Thumb (9,200 feet); also of Mt. Florence (9,750) feet. These ascents can be made from the main camp, but with

Vaux (10,250 feet), and its outifer, Mt. Liysyfran (9,000 feet), will be a popular expedition for beginners. To the northwest, another great group of mountains will claim the attention of the mountaineers, Mt. Leah and Mt. Sampson, impressive rock mas- sifs.: Diféctly opposite them rise Mts. Charlton and Unwin, topping all other peaks in the region and heay- ily draped in snow and ice. Directly south of these two massifs rises Amery’s Mt. Julian, climbed by him and Edouard Feuz last August for the first time.

In order to climb mountains too distant to be reached from the Main Camp, an auxiliary camp will be placed at the head of Coronet Creek some six miles away, and from here ascents will be made to Mt. Brazeau (11,250 feet), Mt. Valad, Mt. Henry MacLeod (10,600 feet), Coronet Peak (10,000 feet), and other unnamed peaks. There are many minor expeditions for those whose tastes lean to less

strenuous activities. Trips to places bearing such fascinating mames as Sunshine Falls, Pixie

toba celebrated its diamond jubilee as a@ province of Canada. Manitoba was created a province in 1870, and began its career as such on July 15th of that year. The name Manitoba is a contraction of the Cree word Mani- towaban, and is said to mean “The God That Speaks.”

The first white men to set foot in what is now the province of Manitoba were Pierre Gaultier de Varennes La Verendrye and his sons, about 1732. In the early part of the nineteenth century Lord Selkirk began to estab- lish a settlement of Scottish families on the Red River, and this became the foundation stock of the oldest white settlement in Western Canada.

In 1870 the province of Manitoba consisted of only a comparatively small section of land on both sides of the Red River. It has since then been twice enlarged and now has an area of 251,832 square miles. The population of the province 60 years ago was about 25,000; now it is over 638,000. The total population of Western Canada in 1870 was about 109,000. In 1930 it is about 2,650,000. Winnipeg, sixty years ago, was a settlement of a mere handful of peo- ple; in fact the official census of 1871 gave it a population of 241. Now it is one of the most modern cities of the

world with a population of over 200,- 000.

The growth of Manitoba and of the

other provinces of Western Canada in comparatively recent years has

been one of the great romances of modern times, Sixty years ago West- ern Canada was practically virgin territory. Railways did not link Manitoba with the Bastern provinces until the early eighties. Hardy pion- eers had begun to flock into the prov- ince in advance of the railways, driv- ing their yokes of oxen with their families, and all their worldly posses- sions loaded on a “prairie schooner” or Red River cart. Many of these pioneers received free land from the Canadian Government. Scarcely any of the rich fertile soil had then been brought under cultivation. The farm machinery of the time was crude; there were no competent advisers; Government experimental farms did not come until several years later. Yet those hardy pioneers stuck it out, and numbers of them are enjoying their declining days in the commun- ities they wrested from the wilder- ness, prosperous, contented, with their children’s families gathered about them. They have seen civiliz- ation step into the west and the-wil- derness swept out. Today are thriving cities and towns where bleaching buffalo bones marked the oxtrails of ©

60 years ago. Today are mighty

freight trains, each with its thou- sand-ton cargo of wheat or merchan- dise, roaring down the roads where the old carts creaked. Today are schools within walking distance of every farm house, churches within driving distance of every home. To- day are telephones, radios and every modern convenience linking commun- ities over vast distances by the com- mon bond of the spoken word.

Canada now ranks as the largest wheat-exporting country in the the world, and the second largest producer of wheat, over ninety per cent of which is grown in the three Prairie Provinces. The wilderness of a few decades ago is now one of the world's greatest granaries and also a substantial contributor of other grains, livestock, dairy products, manufactured goods, etc.

If La Verendrye, Selkirk, and others of the early pioneers had been present at the Diamond Jubilee cele- bration of the creation of the prov- ince of Manitoba, they would un- doubtedly have been overwhelmed with the metamorphosis that has taken place not only in the area of their original settlements, but throughout the whole Dominion. Yet notwithstanding the marvellous de- velopment that has taken place in Western Canada in the past 60 years only about one-fifth of the land suit- able for farming is under crop and millions of acres still await the plough. The opportunities of Western Canada are today even better than when the hardy explorer, La Veren- drye, arrived in Manitoba from his native town of Three Rivers, Quebec, about two hundred years ago, and Lord Selkirk established the settle- ment of his courageous kinsmen on the Red River about 100 years ago.

“)'Will Increase Safety

In Steel Construction

Electrical Finger “Feels” Strain In Steel When Under Great Pressure An electrical finger that “feels” the

invisible twists and strains in steel

under great pressure was described to the American Society of Testing

Materials.

The purpose is to increase safety in construction*by making under condi- tions of actual use tests heretofore confined to research laboratories. The device was described by J. P. Sham- berger, of Pittsburgh, who said it was designed by J. G. Ritter, of the West- inghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company.

No longer than a human finger, and not much thicker, it bolts to the side of a rail and records the bend- ing as a 100-ton locomotive thunders over. If placed on a curve it will show the side twist of the rail under the locomotive'’s thrust. It can be laid up- on an automobile wheel to detect how nearly bumps come to causing over- strain.

The finger works somewhat like a slide rule, being of two parts, which telescope. This telescoping amounts only to the diameter of a tremor or a vibration, that is, something like one ten-thousandth of an inch. Even so slight a motion slides a piece of iron to or from between two sensitized electrical instruments on the finger.

These instruments correspond to the sense of touch. They detect the motion of the bit of iron,“and with it the distortion which causes the movement. They register this move- ment by slight electrical changes.

The “nerves” of the finger then come into play. They are plain wires, which carry the slight electrival dis- turbances to instruments that amplify them into movements an inch long, that can be calibrated in terms of wear and tear.

Made Fortune From Linoleum

Ingenuity Of Englishman Started Him On Read To Wealth

Lord Ashton, whose amazing for- tune was between thirty and forty millions, owed his wealth originally to his clever father’s ingenuity, says the News of the World. The father was a working house painter who started a little shop in Lancaster, where he combined with his trade:a picture-framing business. When cil- cloth was introduced from America he improved on it by giving it a back- ing of powdered cork instead of cloth. So linoleum was invented and his for- tune made. Lord Ashton himself worked in his father’s factory from an early age and proved a wonderful man of business.

Crain Stocks Decrease

Grain In Store At End Of June Shows Decrease Of Over Three Million Bushels

Returns received as to stocks of grain in store for the week ended June 27, 1930, show a decrease of 3,- 277,506 bushels, according to a report issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Stocks for the week were as follows: Wheat, 13,735,712. Oats, 9,927,331. Barley, 22,639,184. Flax, 512,382, and Rye, 8,241,089, a total ot 172,155,698 bushels. Decreases are noted in whéat of 2,281,693. Oats, 356,580. Barley, 3,771. Flax, 38,061, and Rye, 387,411 bushels. For the same week last year the amount in store was 148,620,622 bushels,

White Pine Best For Patterns

White pine is used for 90 per cent. of the patterns made in North America, The reasons for this, are, that white pine, more than any other wood, is easily worked, is of soft tex- ture, is comparatively strong, is very durable and, most important of all, has very little shrinkage, which gives it the power to hold its shape indefin- itely after being worked.

Explanations and Comments

The Oppression At the Hands Of Jabin, verses 1-8.—When Hhud was dead, the Israelites were oppressed by the Philistines, and for fear of them travellers left the highways for the byways, With only his ox-goad as a weapon, probably at the head of many other peasants similarly armed, Shamgar killed six hundred Philis- tines. Then came a crisis. Jabin, king of the Northern Confederacy of the Canaanites, through Sisera, his com- mander-in-chief, had for twenty years held a military depostism over th northern districts of Canaan. The children of Israel cried unto Jehovah for help, for Jabin had nine hundred chariots, and they lived on the hills ‘and had none.

Deborah Summons Barak To the Defense, ver. 4-7—The name Debor- ah means “Bee,” and Matthew Henry, that ancient interpreter of the Bible, sees in Deborah, the judge, the ful- filfhent of her name by her industry, sagacity, and great usefulness to the public, her sweetness to her friends and sharpness to her enemies. She was a prophetess and the wife of Lapidoth. To quote Matthew Henry again: “The termination not being commonly found in the name of a man, some make this name the name of a place: she was ‘a woman of Lapidoth,’ Others take it appellative- ly, Lapidoth, signifying ‘lamps.’ The rabbis say she had employed herself in making wicks for lamps of the tabernacle; and, having stooped to that mean office for God, she’ was afterwards thus preferred. Or _ she was a woman of illumination, one that was extraordinarily knowing and wise.” Between Ramah and Bethel, in the hill-country of Ephraim, she was wont to sit under a palm-tree as judge, perhaps not so often to settle disputes between men as to declare what was the judgment of God in national affairs, and the tree was therefore called the palm-tree of De- borah.

Barak Requires Deborah‘s ‘Aid, verses 8, 9.—Barak was not brave enough to start forth alone, and re- fused to go unless Deborah would go with him. Deborah consented, but added that he would not have the honor of the result, for Jehovah would Sell Sisera into the Hands of a wo- man. Sisera was killed by Jael, a wo- man (verses 17-22), but Deborah’s words seem rather to apply to her- self, that to her, rather than to Ba-

rak, would be given the credit for the victory.

Substantial Increase In the Quality Of Meat Consumed By the Average Canadian

Reports of the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, show a substantial increase in the quality of meat consumed by the average Canadian, particularly beef, lamb and mutton. In 1928, the home market absorbed 648,600,000 Ibs., while in 1929 it absorbed 676,- 800,000 lbs., an increase of 28,000,000 Ibs. of beef, or roughly 2 lbs. more per capita. The Canadian market consumed 70,500,000 lbs. of lamb and mutton in 1929, compared with 62,- 200,000 in 1928, an increase of 8,300,- 000 lbs., or nearly 1 Ib. per capita.

WINNIPEG PLANS. WORK TO ASSIST UNEMPLOYED

Winnipeg, Man.—The cities of Winnipeg and St. Boniface propose to group themselves in an effort to alleviate the unemployment problem under Premier Mackenzie King’s dollar-for-dollar scheme. Decision to start at once on the rebuilding of two bridges as relief work for the jobless was reached at a conference of civic officials of the two cities.

Tentatively, it is suggested the Dominion Government, in line with Premier King’s promise that the treasury will expend an _é equal amount with the provinces seeking to relieve unemployment, be asked to pay 50 per cent. of the total ex- pended on the work. The Manitoba Government would be asked to meet 25 per cent. of the cost with the municipalities putting up the re- ‘maining 25 per cent.

While the general view of dele- gates to the municipal conference is that work on the two brindges, en- tailing an outlay of something more than $1,000,000, should be started at once, a gigantic collective scheme of * public works approximating a cost of $6,000,000 or $7,000,000. was considered. An extensive drainage scheme and other bridge construc-

scheme.

A delegation was appointed by the conference to discuss with provin- cial premier John Bracken immedi- ate construction of the two bridges and apportionment of costs.

Women Peeresses

Bill To Admit Peeresses To Member- ship In House Of Lords Is Defeated

London, England.—A bill to ad- mit women peeresses in their own right to membership in the House of Lords, was defeated by the narrow margin of four votes, 53 to 49.

Lord Astor, who has been the wo- men’s champion for many yers in their fight for recognition in the Upper House, introduced the bill.

Conservative peers opposing the bill held that the question of the admittance of women should be left until the reform of the whole House was considered, a movement which has been considered for some time.

Shipbuilding Declines

Great Britain’s Shipbuilding Industry Slows Up

London, Eng.—Decline of Great Britain’s shipbuilding industry in ratio to that of the rest of the world is revealed strikingly in returns for for the second quarter of this year made public by Lloyd Underwriters.

Out of 3,057,000 tons under con- struction by the world during the three months, 1,392,000 tons or 45 per cent. of the whole was being built in Great Britain and Ireland. This compares with a percentage of 57.2 built by Great Britain and Ire- land in the 12 months immediately preceding the war.

Sx Women Candidates In Election Campaign

One Ronning In Manitoba and Two In Saskatchewan Ottawa, Ont.—Miss Agnes Mc-

Phail may have to look to her laurels when the hurly-burly’s done and the battle lost or won. For there are twice as many women candidates in the present election campaign as there were in last. Ontario has two, including Miss MacPhail; Manitoba, one; SaskMchewan, two; Quebec, one, a total of six against three in the election of 1926 and four in that of 1925. And women too are likely to have more to say in the result. They are attending meetings. The new system of enumeration has put more of them on the voting lists.

Miss MacPhail was the first wo- man elected to the Federal House, and for three parliaments she has re- mained in her isolation.

At Ottawa, Miss MacPhail has been persistent in her attacks on what she considers evidence of mil- itarism. At the League of Nations Assembly last September, she was substitute delegate with Sir George Foster on the disarmament commit- tee—the first woman to represent Canada at the League.

In the 1926 campaign, Miss Mac- Phail had the comfortable majority of 1,728, her fight being with a Con- servative. Both a Liberal and a Con- servative were in the field early in

: | the present campaign but the Liber- tion would form a part of the large |

als did not submit nomination papers. Miss MacPhail has again a straight fight on her hands.

Canada’s Position Sound

Country Merely Passing Through Temporary Period Of Depression Victoria, B.C.—Sir Henry Thorn-

ton, president of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, arrived in Victoria at the end of his trans-Canada sur- vey and announced his conelusion on business conditions as follows:

“We can’t expect the sun to shine all the time; there are bound to be showers. But so many people are mistaking a shower for a cyclone.

‘We have got to look below the surface and see if there is anything wrong with our fundamentals. If you diagnose the position of the country, organically so to speak, you will find that we have the same courageous and intelligent popula- tion we had a year ago.

“That tells us that we have no dis- ease, or, as the doctors would diag- nose it, we are merely passing through a headache ora cold.

We could not have had the stock market losses of the crash last year in New York, which carried down all the markets in the world, without these losses finding expression in re- duced purchasing power of the peo- ple in all lines.

“Things will probably mark time for a certain period until the public recovers its purchasing power. If we have a good crop on the Canadian prairies this year we will be well on our way upwards next year.”

Vancouver, B.C.—-Hon.* Tan Mac- kenzie, recently appointed Minister of Immigration and Colonization, has asked to have his department pre- vent the surreptitious entry of un- employed United States workers into Canada,

Instructions have been issued in Ottawa, by Deputy Minister W. J. Egan, to border inspectors to keep a sharp lookout for indications of attempts by United States citizens to make illegal entry into this country. Co-operation of the cus- toms department and mounted police has also been sought, he states in a telegram to Mr. Mac- kenzie.

Mr. Mackenzie's statement ‘ fol- lows: ‘‘Having had reason to suspect that unemployed @mericans may be surreptitiously trying to make their way into Canada, I wired my deputy minister to exercise the ut- most vigilance to see that this does not occur.

“In view. of the steps that wlil be taken in the near future to cope with unemployment in our Canadian cities, particularly in the west, we wish to ensure that the assistance rendered shall be to our own people only.”

Will Participate In World’s Grain Exhibition and Conference

Regina, Sask——<According to word received, Belgium has officially ac- cepted the invitation to take part in the World’s Grain Exhibition and Conference to be held here from July 25 to August 6, 1932.

Some little time ago official invi- tations were sent from the Domin- ion Government to all countries in- viting them to participate. A few countries in which cereal production is not carried on, or carried on to a very small extent, have gratefully expressed their inability to take part; others including the United States, Bolivia, Columbia and Chile have expressed their‘interest and asked for further information. for consideration, and official accept- ances have been received from Peru, Jugoslavia, Gautemala, New Zealand, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, The Netherlands and Belgium, eight in all.

Mr. Mooney, the managing direc- tor, is now in Europe for the pur- pose of’ interviewing government officials and supplying to them de tailed information relative to/ this great Canadian enterprise. His visit is expected to be the means of stim- ulating a greater interest on the part of European countries. The fact that many countries, two years previous to the holding of the show, have ac- cepted the invitation to participate and send delegates is taken as a good omen for the 1932 show.

SENT TO EGYPT TO QUELL RIOTING

London, England.—Great Britain has approximately 9,800 troops sta- tioned in Egypt, Tom Shaw, war secretary; told a questioner in the House of Commons. The troops con- sist of three cavalry regiments, six batteries, of artillery, six infantry battalions and auxiliary troops, Shaw said. The troops are stationed at Cairo, Ismailia, Alexahdria and Port Said.

There was some question among political observers whether the Bri- tish Government would not intervene in Egypt in view of its obligation to protect foreigners there.

Reports that eight or more foreign- ers were killed in rioting at Alexan- dria were not confirmed, however, and it was certain the present Bri- tish Government would not act pre- cipitately.

The British Government has ordered the battleships “(Queen Eliza- beth” and ‘‘Ramillies’”’ to proceed to Alexandria for the protection of foreign lives and property endan- gered by disorders at that place.

Prime Minister MacDonald, in an- nouncing the dispatch of the ves- sels, also informed the House of Commons that Sidky Pasha, the present Egyptian premier, and Nahas Pasha, former premier and Nationalist leader, had been warned they would be held responsible for the protection of foreign lives and interests.

“Tt does,” Grandma agreed.

“J wouldn’t have believed Sarah could write two lines, to say nothing of six pages, without mentioning Jimmy. It come over me, Grandma, to wonder if maybe he’s got into some: trouble.”

“Trouble!” echoed Grandma in amazement. ‘What on earth are you driving at, Lizzie Baker?”

know that Jim ‘is liable to nfeét temp-"| ~ . tation.” ;

“And liable to overcome it, if he does,” snorted the old lady with in- dignation. “Don’t you get to romanc- ing about Jim, and telling your in- ventions to every one that comes along. Such stories. grow faster’n fireweed on a burned wood lot. Here comes Ezra Bascomb with the mail. You needn’t stir, Lizzie; the doctor's getting it. Well,” as the young man came inside, "were there any letters, or just that catalogue?”

The doctor greeted Miss Lizzie gal- lantly, and responded: “‘There’s one for Charmian. I'll take it along and leave it at the school.”

From behind the caller’s broad back he winked at Grandma, and she asked: ‘Is it a thick one, Doctor?”

“It took two stamps to bring it,” he replied.

“Who's it from?” put in Miss Liz- zie. “It seems like an awful extrava- gance for.a person to use two stamps

‘unless it’s a matter o’ life and death.

Who can be writing Charmian such a long letter, I’d like to ask?”

The doctor laughed and answered: “Then you must ask Charmian. There's a heavy penalty for tamper- ing with the U.S.M.! I'll have a look at the furnace, Grandma, and then be off. If any messages come in just call up Doctor Howe. I'll stop there on my way back.”

“I suppose I’d better go,” remarked Miss Lizzie, rising. “I left some apples in the oven, and like as: not they’re burned to cinders. I wish the doctor and Charmian would get mar-

ried, Grandma. It’s such a comfort to have a man to tend the furnace. 1 donno how he can help bein’ sweet on her, either, livin’ right here and seein’ her every day. Do you think there's hope?”

“We're told that while there's life there’s hope, Lizzie,” responded Grandma with a chuckle, “but I haven't an idea how Charmian would take to your suggestion.”

Miss Lizzie sighed, wound the scarf about her neck three times, and fastened the moth-eaten fur above it.

“Girls have changed,” she _ said. “It’s this younger generation stuff you read ‘about. In my day, Grand- ma, a girl would have been consid- ered nothing short of a fool to turn down a fine young man like Doctor Carter—and Charmian’s no fool.”

“You're right,” admitted Grandma, “my girl’s no fool,” then added to herself as she watched her caller waddle across the street, “and so

far’s I know, she hasn’t turned him down!”

CHAPTER XXI.

Charmian was buttoning the last small Wickfielder into his coat when the schoolhouse door opened to ad- mit John Carter. The girl looked up with a smile as she finished her task, and the doctor, pulling off his gloves, went to the stove to warm his hands. Charmian sped her pupil on his way, and said, as she closed the door:

“I suppose my chariot. awaits me You're awfully good to me, John. I’m tired today, and thankful to escape the walk.”

“So you really admit you're tired? I’m surprised—after—”

She laughed, and fnterrupted: “I’m sorry I snapped at you last night when you were good enough to in- quire for my health. I’m all right, truly; but I’ve been worried about something. That’s why I blew up the way I did. I have a beastly temper.”

John Carter smiled.

“Will this allay some of that worry?”

He produced Jim’s letter and held

it out, while Charmian, her eyes de- tecting. the familiar penmanship, drew a relieved breath and the color flamed gloriously in her cheeks. , “When did it come?” The question was’ tremulous be- cause She seemed to feel the doctor's eyes boring into her head, in an ef- fort to read the thoughts therein.

“Ezra left it as I was starting. I’m-

going to South Wickfield for a call. Perhaps you'd rather stay here till I get back and read your missive in peace—TI see it’s lengthy—or you can peruse it while I see my patient. As a physician, not as a selfish human being (though you might think so), I prescribe the ride.”

Charmian hesitated. She longed to read Jim’s letter in the solitude of the deserted schoolroom; but on the other hand she needed the fresh air, and since John had been kind enough to stop for her, it seemed discourteous not to accomany him.

‘Is it still frightfully cold?” she questioned, with a glance at her old ulster. A fresh leak in the back hall plus an extra ton of coal, had made the new coat impossible at Christmas time.:

‘I’ve got a wrap for you outside. T'll bring it in and warm it.”

He was away, and Charmian tore open her letter, glancing first at the ending, her ears alert for the doctor's returning step. ‘“‘Yours always, Jim,” was what she read, and her heart lost some of its burdem at the friendly words. Jim wasn't mad, anyway! The missive was stuffed into her pocket when John returned bearing a heavy ulster of his own.

“This will go over yours, and you'll be warm as toast. It’s really a glori- ous winter day, Charmian, no wind and a clear sky. I left your grand- mother in close confab with Lizzie Baker, so she’s not lonely; and any-

think the deacon was trying té get even with us about those beads, John, and used;one of Luella’s boys as the scapegoat. I was scared to death for fear I’d lose my job.”

“And you never spoke of it at home! Why not?”

“Tt would have worried Grandma because she was responsible for that shrewd bargain. Besides, it wasn’t necessary. Jim fixed it—somehow. Uncle George Knowles asked me what I'd do without Jim to fight my battles; but I suppose when we lose something we've always had and counted on, wé just have to make the best of it, don’t we?”

The doctor didn’t answer this ques- tion; but after a moment he broke the silence by saying: “I didn’t know that Mr. Knowles was your uncle, Charmian 7?”

“He's not, by law—only by love,” she answered. ‘Jim and I have al- ways called him Uncle George. Jim’s father was his closest friend, you know; and as for me—well, he always wanted a daughter and never had one, so that explains it. He cah’t get ‘over the fact that none of his boys fell for me!” she finished, looking up with a smile in her blue eyes.

“They must be morons, all three of ’em,” responded the M.D. with be- coming gallantry.

“Far from it! They're making names for themselves, those boys. I think I was too much like a sister to ,them—they’d always had me hanging ‘round. Then, too, George Junior was a bit old; and Sid was too young; and Bill, Jim’s chum, never had eyes fot any one but Madge Merry. I wish you knew her, John. She’s a wonder, and my best friend; but she hasn’t been much use to me since she married Bill and went to live in Indianapolis! He’s on a paper there, and doing splendidly.”

“IT seem to have learned some Wickfield history,” smiled John Car- ter. ‘‘Here’s where I stop. I’m likely to be a good half hour. Are you warm enough?”

“Snug as a bug in a rug, as Grand- ma says. Don’t have me on your mind a minute.” ..,;.. .,

“Easier said than done,, I fear,” he aswered, his gray ey’ smiling; and as he turned away the girl drew out her letter. 3:0

She read: “Whén I got back from a three weeks’ trip hunting a fruit ranch, and found your letter stuffed into the slit in our front door (it must have been left there before the post office got word to forward mail), I swore a deep, dark, terrible, bloody oath that would have turned my mother’s hair quite white if she had

‘| heard it. And after I read what you

had to say to me, only my dyed-in- the-wool New England caution saved me from sending you a telegram that would have broken the bank at Monte Carlo—not caution at the expense, please understand;- but you know yourself, Charmian, that a telegram in Wickfield is about &s private a matter as the Grand Central Station is in New York. . . . . Hence my caution. I wish... . .”

Charmian closed her eyes & mo- ment. They had misted unexpectedly, and she wanted to wink the mist away and go on reading. The letter sounded so much like Jim! she told herself foolishly; and then laughed at the thought. How silly she’d been to worry about his silence! What an idiot to think he could be angry, or not care enough to write!
