We suspect that men, who are confined by tradition to n few types of standard headgear. are a little envious of_the ladies‘ wide choice of hats and their blzthc bravery in pioneering new styles. It is just possible that. the frequent snickering at the women-folk, and the charge that. they are slaves of fashions whim. are an expression of a masculine inferiority complex. Perhaps men unconsciously hanker for a return of the days when gay blades Wore colorful wide-brlmmed hats with silver buckles ana a. splash of soft "feathers cascading over the side and down the back. Perhaps their. criticism of the ladies is really intended only to distract public attention from their own slavish obedience to the tale of monotony in clothing.

She had well-developed markets in Britain and. on the European continent. But. most of tho geo- graphy books were printed before World War fl, so they don't tell of the tidal wave of British orders for war goods or of the engulfing flood of U5. war contracts and subcontracts, These made Canada the world's fourth sgreistest in- dustrial power. ' And this warifrrn industrializ- ation, with its higher wages and profits, brought Canada a 40% rise in living standards. When the war ended the Canadians naturally wanted to keep right on. like a 20~yearo1d lsir force general. Canada thought she saw s way. She had the farm and factory production: she also had plenty of customers. England slgned- up a four-year agreement for the most of Canada's grain at 81.55 a bushel. This price looked good until (1.8. farmers begun getting twice es much and Peron held out for $5. However all Europe clernored for Canada's new ‘Industrial product- lon. and price seemed no barrier. Naturally prices are less bother- some when you count your money as though It were cigar-store coupons. And that's what.
