A Real Problem

One thing that we must do is to convince our growing boys and girls that respect for work with head and heart and hand which was accorded by our forefathers. America is in vital need of skilled craftsmen, real Americans who can carry the responsibility that rests upon the great body of intelligent American workemen.

The state plans for maternity and infant aid are submitted to the Federal Board of Maternity and Infant Hygiene, and the approval of the board clears the way for the allotment of funds and the immediate beginning of the work of saving lives.

Plans are Made.

The plans for this work drawn by the states show a broad appreciation of the problem. They differ widety because many of the states have been backward in the development of this line of government activity. As fundamental steps, these states propose to insure accurate birth registration, improved milk supplies, and state surveys of medical and nursing facilities for maternal and infant care. In states with well organized child hygiene 3e'rvices where the pioneer stag'e of the work has been passed, increased numbers of country and community public health nurses who will make accurate surveys of facilities for maternal care and provide instructions for mothers both in classes and at home are to be provded.

bor those who have the time and means to indulge their fancies and who enjoy tripping to out-of-the-way places, a voyage up the west coast of Vancouver is recommend-

ed.

Three times a month the staunch boats steam out of James Basin, the harbor of British Columbia’s fair capitol, Victoria, bound for Port Alice three hundred miles away on the northern tip of the Island. So you must plan accordingly, but you’ll not regret a wait for the ship for the charms of the Evergreen City will lull you into

acquiescent waiting.

The southern part oU Vancouver Island is a veritable bit of England’s Devonshire transplanted to western waters and Victoria is its

h p;./center. Charming hoffies set ! fairly well-to-do, according It In-

in exquisite flower gardens are her distinguishing feature. Unsurpassed motor roads circle and radiate from Victoria. Marine Drive is a never-ending joy and watching the throngs of happy bathers lolling and splashing in the waters- along the drive, makes one realize that here life is lived as it should be. Leaving Victoria on a west coast cruise one heads for a glimpse of primitive life. The more than 300 miles of this coast is touched but once in its whole length by a railway. The thrice-a-month boat is the link with the outside world for people who live on This coast. The little ports where the boats stop have many of them queer Indian names, Clo-oose, Ucluclet, Ciayaquot and Kyuquot, the last named

being an important whaling station. La! The Indians along this coast are Jr.,

dian standards. They arc a fine, healthy lot. The women ra ke baskets, belts and other wares which they fetch to the boat landings nr.d sell to tourists. The east coast of Vancouver Island is well developed with fine farms and thriving towns, but the west coast remains in an almost primeval state and is one of, the few remaining, easily accessible, still unexploited areas. Recently undertaken timber developments fore-shadow the early indus-, trial development of this last pri- 1

mitive section.

as over 9,500,000 tons, shows in itself the basis for a very large traflic movement during the autumn months Crop movements are also moving up toward a peak and it would seem that the improvement in transportation has come in time to prevent the serious damage and loss that had been predicted long ago. Steel output is working back in the direction of its higher level reached earlier in the season before the railroad strike had set in and is estimated to be well toward 60of capacity. The continued high level of building operations in ail parts of the country as well as the exceptional automobile demand for materials will plainly require continuous effort on the part of many of the railroads in order to fill orders on

time'.

Favorable Business Outlook. The Government’s report on cotton, published September 1, although pessimistic, was not worse than had been predicted, the market having fully allowed for it in advance. Practically all other crop reports continue favorable, with the result that an unusual buying power is being developed throughout the growing regions. This demand for commodities is reflected in the satisfactory returns re

been manifested in higher rates

exchange and in stronger quotations | for French and other foreign cur- j rencies. Altogether, the signs of ! what may develop into a solution of j the recent difficult situation on the j continent are unmistakeahle, and the j consequence is to instil a much strong- | er feeling of hopefulness both in j

London and the United States.

Rcipid liquidation of the loans of | the War Finance Corporation and J further release of the frozen credits j of the Western and Southern banks ! show improvement of the financial outlook in the interior of the country. In this market the supply of available funds has continued satisfactory and temporary first of the month demands, although slightly raising the rate of interest for the time being, have had no permanent effect. Very minor increase in the calls upon Federal Reserve banks leave their portfolios of bills a trifle higher, hut the ratio of

reserves little changed at 78.3. Market Review and Outock.
