TORONTO, Sept. —The Curtiss
Aeroplane company recently complet
ed the first of a fleet of giant aero
planes being built in Toronto for the
British government. The aeroplane
is larger than any ever before built,
and is fitted with a number of new

opments of control and is said to be
so arranged that absolute accuracy of'
bombardment is obtained.
The new machine has been named
“The Canada," and is equipped with
two 160 Curtiss Standard motors,
and during a trial test attained a
speed of one hundred miles an hour.
The Canada is built along the lines
of the America, which was built to
make the trip across the Atlantic, but
is much larger than'the America. Its
wings have a spread of 102 feet and
it carries a heavy calibre rapid fire
gun and a large quantity of ammu
nition.
The aeroplanes are built at a cost
of |40,000 each and will-be shipped
to Europe as fast as the machines
can be turned out at the great Cur
tiss factory near Toronto.

I . FOR ALASKAN EXPOSITION
The New York Sun, of August 12,
contains the following articles re
garding the Alaska 1917 Exposition:
After the San Francisco Panama
Pacific Exposition, the Alaska Expo
sition. And more than that, it is to
be an All-Alaska Exposition. Prop
erly speaking, it is to be a chain of
celebrations in of the cities in the
territory, the idea being that the tour
ist will be put on a sort of exposition
circuit and shown ail of the wonders
and resources of the country in suc
cession.
Juneau, Skagway, Wrangell, Fair
banks and Ketchikan are all working
enthusiastically in partnership, and
without the slightest jealousy <to
evolve such a plan, according to ad
vices from Seattle, which, as the
principal handler of the tourist
stream to the Northwest country is
pushing the idea along for all it is
worth through the Chamber of Com
merce.
Already the year 1917 has been se
lected for the event as it will be
the fiftieth anniversary year of the
acquisition of Alaska as a territory
by the United States. The exact date
will be some time in early summer,
still to be determined. As no preten
tious Towers of Jewels or exposition
palaces are to be constructed the date
is of no special importance. The
Alaskans will let their mountains and
forests present their wonders for
themselves.
In fact this celebration is be>ng
conceived as more than a show. Es
pecial effort is to be made to attract
visitors who may settle in the fertile
valleys and share in the development
of a country that is destined to make
many of'its citiz'ens wealthy. There
is to be an earnest effort to awaken
'.he people of the States to the fact
chst Alaska is not a half frozen land
with gold as its only attraction. And
in so far as this semi-tfentennlal cele
bration may accomplish a useful pur
pose it will be worth while than the
ephemeral White Cities, whose uses
and populations vanish in a night.

The After-Hours
Salesman
\
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
