EMPlRE FfiRESTRY C9 NFERENSE TO BE HELD IN CANABA EN JULY In the forefront of prominent men. in attendance at the Empire Forestry} Conference to be held in Canada this' summer will be Major-General Lord Lovat, K.T., K.C.M.G., D.S.O. Lord Lovat is chairman of the Imperial" Forestry Commission, which is carryâ€" ing out a gigantic program of re- forestation in the British Isles. Thet forests of England and Scotland were‘ subjected to serious depletion to sup-i ply war demands, and the work of; the Commission is to restore as rapid:i ly as possible the forested areas in‘ the United Kingdom. 1 ‘ During the war Lord llovat was in; charge of all British forestry operaâ€"i tions, and associated with him were many men, including Canadians, prom- inent in the lumber and pulp manu- facturing world. He has many friends in Canada, and it is anticipated that his coming will warm the hearts of many a member of the clan Fraser, of which Lord Lovat, as Simon Fraser, is Chieftain. Not only is he a man of great energy, broad vision and out- standing ability, but he is possessed of a most charming personality. The several Canadians who were delegates < l I 1 to the Empire Forestry Conference held in London in 1920 speak highly of his ability as the leader of that Conference. Preparations for the Conference are; now so far advanced that certain im- portant particulars can be given in regard to the program. The Confer- ence will open during the last week of July, foresters from all parts of the Empire taking part. Almost immedi- ately after the formal opening a tour will be made in the eastern provinces to observe forest conditions and to in- spect forest industries. Following the eastern trip the meetings at Ottawa will take place. At the conclusion of Toronto Institutions Benefit by Gift of Mr. John D. The Toronto General Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children are each to receive $10,000 and the Uniw versity of Toronto the sum of 35,0001 for research in insulin to be conducted} by Dr. Banting. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., whol has watched with keen interest the; development of Insulin Treatment of‘ Diabetes, recently announced that he; would support the work by giving a} sum of money to be used in the fur-l therance of the treatment of Diabetes, with Insulin among the indigent. In making this donation to Toronto, Mr. Rockefeller is desirous of recognizing especially the home of the discoverer of Insulin, and the place where Insulin; treatment has been first developedi While, speaking broadly, the purpose' of the gift is to make possible the‘ treatment of a larger number of indi- gent diabetic sufl'erers and to assist the teaching of physicians in general practice in the proper method of em- ploying insulin in the treatment ofl diabetes, the disposition of the moneys received is left to the discretion of! the governing board of each recipient institution, to be used in the manner in which it can best further the treat- ment of the disease. The gift of $5,000 to the University is to be added to the “Banting-Best Fund” recently established by the Legislature, and is to be placed at the disposal of Dr. Banting for further researches in} insulin. In sending the gift Dr. Simonl Flexner adds, “I am very happy to be: the medium of transmitting" this giftI to you for the several institutions mentioned, and I wish to congratulate you and the University on the. great. advance in scientific and practical; medicine in which you have shared sol conspicuously. I hope that this gift, may serve to extend the use of insulin! in the treatment of diabetes morei widely and more accurately, and lead} to still other discoveries which may increase its usefulness.” i Bush Fires DriQe Deer Into Port Arthur Port Arthur, June 10.â€"Two full- grown moose were seen for fully an hour browsing at 5 o’clock this morn~ ing within 20 yards of the plant of the Provincial Pulp and Paper Co. Men went up quite close to these forâ€" est monarchs and they were not dis- turbed. One of the two, both bull moose, had a fine set of antlers just starting to grow. The antlers are "velvet" just now, and those who saw the big animal this ,morning say the horns were very beautifu‘l Two deer were seen this morning in the Slate River Presby' rian Church grounds and people got close enough to the animals to take .1 picture of 1) cm. It is thought that the preponderance of bush fires in the neighborhood has driven these and many other denizens of the bush close into town. OUTLINE OF PROGRAM. Rockefeller, Jr. re} 3_ . in ‘ r- . 3f ‘ 1e .i- Jr as n- i no 13 l of ‘ greatly in excess of annual growth, so‘ A most important feature of the! Conference is the placing plainly be- fore the people of the actual condition of Empire forestry affairs. In some parts of the Empire forest manage ment is on the basis of sustained yield. while in others cutting is carried on that the woods’ capital is being seriâ€" ously impaired. Many other related subjects will also receive attention. Canada is honored by being selected as the meeting place of this, the sec- ond Empire Forestry Conference. No effort is being spared to justify this selection, and it may beianticipated that the numerous delegates will re: turn to their respective countries with a clearer conception than they have previously had of Canadian conditions, the advantages of Canada as a source of raw forest products, and of the state of her development in the manu- facture of wood material into many different forms. these the Conference will visit lumber- ing centres and forest areas in On- tario and Western Canada. Many of the delegates will see for the first time forest industries on a scale entirely new to them. The huge pulp con- cerns in eastern Canada and the gi- gantic sawmills of the Pacific Coast will undoubtedly occasion much in- terest. AIM OF THE CONFERENCE. It is the aim of the Conference to find the ways and means of making the Empire self-sustaining in its tim- ber supply. This involves careful stock-taking of forest resources, the pooling of information in regard thereto, and the establishment of faciL ities for increasing Empire trade gen- orally in forest products. In many cases possibilities have been neglected purely through the lack of information that has prevailed regarding supplies and facilities.

I Illinois leads in the number of women ipreachers with 33, 1'7 of them being lin the city of Chicago. Kansas ranks 1 second with 30 women ministers. Ne- !braska is third in numbers with 18.

Surface outcroppings do not contain spectacular showings of native gold. This absence of the glitter of gold may account for the quiet that has marked progress in the field.
