Between Montreal and Vancouver, the jumping-off point for any fu- ture Pacific service Canada would participate, lies the not yet - fully developed trans Canada airway-

By the end of this summer at the latest, the western half of this vital airline link should be in operation between Winnipeg and Vancouver. The entire breadth of the dominion from Halifax, Nova Scotia, right across to Vancouver, should be covered by an air service by next

Short hair, which hitherto has been regarded as useless, will be included, as hair about one third of an inch long has proved most useful in the production of felt. Ex- periments with carpets made of one third of human h hair are said to have been successful

Quite short hair is being with other produc

The importation of human hair and hair nets, chiefly from China. fell from $45,520 in 1934 to £40,480 in 1936. Much of it was substituted by artificial silk.
