Notes BL The Way

The Canadian Paclilo Railway is

proceeding to develop on a Brand scale its means of access to Nova. Scotia and within that province. Years ago there was talk of the G. P. R. getting running rights over the C. N. R. from Saint John to Halifax. Had that been done it would have divided the traffic between the two railways over the line connecting the principal Canadian Atlantic ports and quite to the disadvantage of both nhlways. That plan has been nuan- doned. - The C. P. R. willproceed to.devel-

op its route from Saint John across the Bay of Fundy to Digby and thence over its own rails to Halifax. President Beatty has now announc- ed that 0. fast oil burning steamship will be built. the contract for which is about to be ict, which will be 350 feet long and have a speed of 22 knots, costing “several millions." Further if it proves feasible, he intl- mated that ferries may be put oil across `the Bay of Fundy large enough to take railway coaches across the Bay as is now done across the Strait of Canso. _

There are other indications of the

deep interest which the C, 1", R. is taking, not only in speeding up the transportation between Nova Scotia and the other provinces of thc main- land, but, in developing tourist traf- fic. Heavier rails are to bc laid on

the line from Digby to Windsor Junc- tion, all bridges on the line to bc widened and a fast, through train to Halifax will connect at Digby. As a result, of these changes and improve- ments t-he Canadian National Rail- way schedulc from Montreal to Hali- fax will be cut clown by an least five hours by the speedier C. P. R. ser- vice, » ~

Then as to hotel. The Halifax

Chronicle has been informed by "a prominent official" that in addition to the new-one-hundred-room hotel at Keutville, it is believed that the Cornwallis Inn, operated by the 7). A. R. and the only hotel in town, will be made over into offices for the headquarters staff of‘ the railway and A new modern station built. The investment of the Canadian Pacino

Railway of a quarter of a million dollars in the Lord Nelson Hotel in Halifax, the acquiring of two and a 'half acres of land in the heart of Kentvlile at an estimate of $70,000 and the palatial New Pines Hotel at Digby is said to be “only the begin- ning of what the C. P. R.. intend _to do in developing Nova Scotia.

Here in Prince Edward Island a

Government railway system has had a monopoly from the beginning. lt has had no competition. Our people have suffered from the monopoly. lr. has been like the painful process Oi having eye-teeth extracted to get anything done in the way of im- provement -ill needed baliasting, in _standardizing a few miles of narrow gauge, in decent modem transpor- tation to and from the mainland, in righting unjust freight rate wrongs. And for more than half a century :his has gone on. We were fighting a nlciloply. Neva Scotia is being liber- ‘ated by C. P. R.. competition. If we had C. P, R. competition wouldnt we, get a railway hotel without begging.

That old age pensions are desir-

able seems to be the judgment of u majority of the Provinces west; ol the Maritimes. The some is true of many of the foremost nations of th: world. In none of those countries are such pensions more needed than in Maritimc Canada, because so many of our younger people have gone away and the number of aged citi- zens is proportionally so large, and largest cf all in our own Province. But it is stated by thc Premier that "owing to our limited revenue" the

Government is to cstablisn such pensions. M re’s the pity.

Many will read with interest the

statistics published in Saturdays Guardian as supplied by Premier Saunders, showing the quantity of intoxicating liquor bought and sold last year by the Prohibition Commis- sion. The Commisslonersdid quiet A thrifty business, receiving $130,000 for the liquids they sold. That, ng- ures out a dollar and a half for every man, woman and child in the Prov- ince, or $7.50 per family for each of our 17,000 fapillles.

The salary list of payments to of-

ficials and others, and how the law- yers fared in the matter' of costs are all matters of interest. '

Even a “bone-dry" Province like

ours bps its seasons of wet, weather when it takes 87.50 to keep the fam- ily sufficlently moist. But it is _all legal. ot course. There must be, one would think, some mistake about the large sales of hooch and moonshine

Ons of the conditions that,‘pre-

vented a man from being accepted for overseas service was any damage to the “interior of the knee joint.

It had been learned from long ex-

perience that these conditions got worse under any physical strain or_ effort.

Many of these cases weer willing to submit to operation, but as no cure could-be "guaranteed," it was not considered advisable. to have the man lose the tinlc, and put the country to the expense of operating.

As a matter of fact where the

“cross” ligaments ill the inside of the Joint which help to tie the thigh bones and leg bones together' at the knee, in cases where the llgalnent or the side of the knee was torn, or cases \vhcre there were "loose bodles," parts of the lining ligaments of thc knee joint that had become detached, thc percentage tof successes froln operation was less than fifty.

You can readily understand tllen

that it was hardly justifiable to pcr-

haps give a mail an absolutely still or non-bcndable knee in exchange for a knee that was perfectlyllseful a good portion of the time.

However, the war taught us a num-

ber of things and one was that with careful, clean, skilful surgery, most of these cases could be operated upon and perfect results obtained.

_ Dr. R. Morlen of Leipzig reports the results of forty-four cases of in- ternal derangements of the knee, as mentioned above, and good results were obtained in tllirty-six cases;

poor results ill eight.

This means that results were suc-

cessful iil 82 per cent of'the cases.

‘Now when you remember that most of these cases were of long dur- ation, two to ten years, with an average of five years, and that all the patients were in bad shape_ and uu- able to work, and compare it with the

results obtained in all cases prev-

New vYork, in an article” published in the April issue of Commerce Month- ly. - “Realization of this fact is direct- ing attention toward the problems common to all agencies, upon which rests the competition among them. It is emphasizing the fact that not until these processes have been sub- jected to -the kind of scientific analy- sis arid control which has contribut- ed so largely to modern industrial efficiency can there be an effectively geared and thoroughly responsive distributive link between producer

and consumer. .

The basic services of physical dis-

tribuhion-t.l~ailsportali.on, warehous- ing, sorting and unsorting, delivery in requisite quantities at 1-he right time and place must all be perform- ed regardless of whose is the im- mediato responsibility.

"Merchandising activities must be

adjusted to the needs of the market. Hlghpower selling outside of a. log- ical market, whether by 'manufac- turcr, wliolcsalar or retailer, indep- endent ol' chain, is an expense for which a measure oi’ value must be determined., If the economic cost is to high by reason of cross hauls and

'duplication of selling effort and ser-

vice, sooner or later the practice

,will only become an urisupportable lburden upon the distributive pro- cess as a whole. Close scrutiny of customers, goods and service and the elimination 'of useless ,operations :irc necessary in all stages of dis- tribution and especially in the retail stage, which so far has profited least by utilization of scientific methods.

“A significant beginning of the

ncces.sary,s'5udy and analysis, partic- ulary of retail merchandising prob-

iously. that is 50 per cent, you can see how great are the strides that have been made. ' Further, none of the patients with

similar conditions \vho refused oper- ation, made any progress for the bet- tcr.

My thought tn`¢T is uint it you

have a. “trick” ki ce that _“gives out" on you frequently, causing you to lay up for days or weeks at a time: or if you have a‘ knee that prevents you using it at ali, then talk it over with your doctor and risk him about thc results that arc now being obtained by operation ui these cases. `

QUEBEC BRIDGE

Q. What are the chief facts re-

garding the Quebec Bridge?

A. The Quebec Bridge is one of

the greatest cngineerillg feats in the world. Its total length is 3,230 feet; its width. B8; height above pillars, 310; length of cantilver, 1.800; length of centre span 640; height, of centre span above high tide, 150; total weight of metal structure, 66.480 tons. weight of centre span. 5,510 tons; total cost of metal structure, S14.- 500,000. Total cost of bridge $25,000.* 000. Although the project had been considered as far back as 1851, noth- ing had been done until 1900. Work had then been carried out till 1907. when the superstructure. which was half erected, collapsed with a crash when 00 to 70 men lost. their lives. Work was resumed almost immed- iately and, in 1916, the great centre span fell into the river; notwith- standing thls second catastrophe, the bridge was completed by--placing the

centre span in position in september I 5, _ , _ "mm Wm" » 1917. The first train passed over the .m r Q ° Aufouomsr mm d.

bridge on the 17th of October, 1917,

and the bridge was opened for rel-l BOW ll 1'! D9!!! hu gig www" ulin- min ti-me on tl-is ara of nec- ' a_... im.muuui`i?r"| :fun u M'

lville, Kentucky, under the direction 'cf the United states Department of .Commerce While the full value of the undertaking will not be knovm until this study has been completed,

,cnougli has already been disclosed l to make it of more than passing ln-

Elcrcst Ito mercllandisers and produc- icrs in all fields. The groundwork of this survey was laid by a dciailccl analysis not only of lrldividual whole

,sale but also of rotall grocery bus- iness. The data thus assembled will be supplemented with and illumin-

ated by an intensive census cf food'

The coming of the chain store has |

distribution, a. study of population characteristics and purchasing pow- er in the local market, an analysis of consumer demand and preference and a. study of business morlalitites and credit Procedure.

"In the preliminary study such F

contrasts were uncovered as that be- | tween an annual sales volume of $115,000 on an inventory investment oi' $3,000, representing a. stock turn of more than 37 times a year, 0. rat- io hardly reached by many C11&lh grocery units, and.in another case an inventory ‘ investment ct sapob. for an annuail salem volume of only $25,000, a stock turn of but 7 times a year. Obviously there is a. wide difference ln. the marzlh IIBCCSSBYY in these two stores for the one item i

tail grocer who shared ri prov g the records to have 0.' fairly com- prehensive plcture of his business. 1-Le may know how many of his customers require delivery and what this service cost; how many are credit customers, how promptly these pay their accounts and what follow up methods are used to sec- ure payment. 1“fe\ may see which items move slowly and need atten- tion ii' he is to increase his rote of turnover and reduce his operating margin. He will have every induce- meat to sound out the preferences of

of st/are arrangement, and what as sortmenl; of stock `mak¢ greatest ap- peal to them. Ho will be in a D06- itlon to study his own buying prac- tices and decide from what sources he can buy most advantageously and whether by concentrating his pur- chases he can save more time to de- l. ot/e to the selling end of his business. In short, he will be in a. position to become an intelligent. merchandlser. _ “Two broader implicatiorls seem to -stand out with special olearness. One is the realization of the manufactur- er’s essential interest in the func- tioning of" retail outlets, no matter by whom they are owned. Perhaps the time will come when the monu- facturer will enquire as carefully in- to the operating efficiency of those wllolhandie his goods as into their credit standing.

"The second point. is the need for

charging each individual service in distribution with its real cost.just. ae each part of a manufacturing pro- cess is charged with its cost. Only when some such cost basis is estab- lished for distributive services will n. thoroughly responsive link be pro- ` vided which can reflect back on the producer not only thc quantity but ‘the quality oilconsumers demand.”

DONAH AND MARITIME UNION

Sir:-The resolutions passed by

,the Donah School District in regard 'to the Educational crises deserve more tlian a passing notice.

Tile good and clever people of that

locality must have been very much

ls'm that threatened their free in-

tstitutions-wlien they were compel- lecl in use such lligh-sounding phrases to express their fears.

They appear to be ground down

with taxes. I trust that this has not lead to und-ernourishmcnt and a con- sequent prey to tuberculosis and a natural appreciation of the efforts for the construction of a sanitorium. While I feel like applauding them .for their advanced christian prin- ciples in an age that has taken for its slogan "Every man for nlniselt and the devil take the hindmt,”

it is quite apparent that they are living in a condition of false secur- ity in face of the menace of decad- ent Liberalism which raises its spectre of bankruptcy and ruin.

The sum asked by the teachers is

small in comparison with the hun- dreds of thousands. more or less, squandered for the benefit of speed feinds. Isle Bt. John broke away from Nova Bcotie's apron strings in 1789 and this Government seems de- termined in turn back the clock oi time and are gl-availing a road that leads to Maritime Union; and the good people of Domh are faced by Constitutional cotaclysin that will shake them to the substrate on which their dictriot rests.

under the present systein, confine him to place his imprimatur on

the vouchers placed before him. and to keep a record of those transac- tions. The Report of the Provincial Auditor is therefore notllillg more than a record of the cheques and vouchers passing through Mr. An- derson‘s office, and has no relation whatever to the condition of ac- counts in the departments of gov- ernment. Withcut doubt. that which is contained in this report may be accepted as correct; but only up to the extent‘of what it does contain.

the public nuances are not placed squarely before the people, rind we have-» no accurate knowledge as to the debts, cleiiclts and roal liabil-
