The appalling cast of keeping this

Legislature on Friday in reply to a
question by Mr. W. Chester S. Mc-

expenses appears in Saturday's

spectors watchers, etc., are in strik-
ing contrast, to the salaries paid to
the teachers.

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
genuine stuff is legally obtained.
Otherwise the Islanders would have
enough of the stuff to swirl in.
Warm Weather ilu come in the

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-

done more than any other single oc-,
currence fto quicken' the conscious-
ness and stimulate the enterprise of
distributive agencies df all kinds.
Distribution, however, is a. matter of
prcaess, as much as of agencies, says
the National .Bank of Commerce in
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,

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

iness. The data thus assembled will
be supplemented with and illumin-
ated by an intensive census cf food'

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-

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

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.”

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.

When we look into the ordinary

to_ Sinking Funds, and charged as a
“transfer from general revenue." But
when we turnlo "General (ordin-
ary) Revenue" we do not find a sin-

Funds.
This is one of the methods of con-
verting large dellcits into smaller
ones. and half-baking the country‘s
sinking funds, required by statute to
be provided for out of ,consolidated
revenue, were being provided for by

would it contribute to the stability

The Provincial Auditoi"s duties,
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.
,An External Audit, when we get
it, is the only audit of our provin-
cial accounts that is ever given to
the public. True enough it too may
be incomplete, as government limi-
tations too often forcellt to be, but
it at least has the appearance of an
audit while the so-called Provincial
Audit has only the resemblance of ai
fore-running shadow. `

the public nuances are not placed
