Canada W iMd Aid
in Research Work
Ottawa, June 25th. -To the end
that Canada's Natural Resources may
be developed to the fullest posl:ible
extent ,the Canadian industries may
be placed on the most efficient ba -is,
and that the waste products of in-
dustry may be utilized, tee govern-
ment has, it is announce 1, decided
upon an important expansion of the
activities of the Honorary Advisory
Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research. As stated by Hon, James
Malcolm, Minister of Trade and
Commerce, during the closing days
of last session, it was the intention of
the ministry to submit to Parliament
a generous appropriation for the
purpose, but it was felt that such an
appropriation should not be out
through without opportun'ty for
adequate discussion on the part of the
members of both Houses.
The sum to be appropriated will be
approximately sufficient, it is believ-
e,placethe dominion on a per
cls to ) I•t
capita basis of practical eipial!ty with
other countries which are az present
engaged in intensive research work.
The most important feature of rte
propose! expansion will h: th,1 es-
tablishment at Ottawa of Narnnal
Research Laboratories directly un-
der the control of the Nacional lRe-
sc•arch Council. The function of
these laboratories will be two fold ac
follows:
1st -Standardization wane of ell
kinds similar to that beim; conducted
by the Bureau of Standards as Wash-
ington, or the National Ph,vsial Ln•
borataries in Englaed.
2nd To make provision
for the
carrying out of research through the
laboratories which will os open to
private firms who desire to conduct
investigations, under the a l'ninistra-
tion of the permanent stair of the
National Connell; For instance any
private corporation will he enabled
to endow a researcher to conduct an
investigation into any partieula' pro-
blem affecting its business, and will
be able to retain the results to itself
after paying the cost of the laboratory
facilities. In many cases it is point-
ed out manufacturers cannot afford
the cost of laboratories, but can well
afford the cost of individual and sup-
ervised research. At the Mellon in-
stitute at Pittsburg last ysar $527,-
000 was expended on private research
alone, while at the Bureau of Stan -1.
daris at Washington, half a million
was spent for the same purpose.
The whole amount spent on . re-
search last year in Canada, including
all agencies, was comparatively small,
and was probably not third of what
would have had to be expended 12 the
Universities had not given free assist -
acre. In the same year in Great Bri-
tain, the sum of £5,000,000 was spent
on research and in the United States
$50,000,000. It will therefor: be ob•
vious that the proposed expansion of
research facilities here is highly nec-
essary.
Under the Act passed an July 10th
102.1 by which the Research Council
is incorporates, the functions of the
Council may bo summarie':d as fol-
lows: To promote the utilization of
the Natural Resources of Canada; to
undertakes researches with the object
of improving the technil:al processes
and methods used in bite indestr_es of
Canada with a view to utilizing the
waste products of the industries; to
investigate and determine standards
and methods of measurement; to un-
dertake the standarization and eerti-
fication of scientific and technics' ap-
e investi-

of any industry, the ma-erial; used
by, or the products of thu industry
making the request; to make re-
searches the object of which is to im-
prove conditions of agriculur;, and
have supervision over researches
which may he undertaken by individ-
ual firms or organization which may
desire to avail themselv,!3 of the faci-
lities offered.
It is quite obvious that such fun-
ctions as are laid down in the Act
cannot be performed without the
ercation of national laboratories
equipped in en up -to -Slat,. I': shioe. it
is the government's intention that
such facilities shall be provide 1.
Up to tale present time th:i Nation-
al Research Council has in a0 un-
demonstrative manner been doing ex-
cellent work, ill close co-operation
with the Interior and ocher• depart-
ment:, educational institution, and
other bodies, but is laboring antler

markable things with the limited

third place the Scientific breaches of
the departments of the Goo-ornm,int
are doing excellent work, especially
in the various branches of science.
But there are in Canada no national
Iaborntiries for industrial research,
no system of research eiholarshlp
worthy of the name excepting those
offered by the Council, no graduate
schools comprehensive of the sciences
in any university comparahl with the
best in the United States; no National
:foundations, with the possible exce-
ption of the Panting Foundation it,
Toronto; and no national sci•ntitis
publication.
While it is realized that pare
science must be pretty wall left to
the universities, it is the aim of the
government to coeordinate all the
forces now engaged in industrial and
scientific research under ono com-
mon aim, with a system of laborat,,r-
ies as the national brain for thm dir-
ection of the entire activity. I" is
the desire to concentrate present
earnest, but more or less haphazard
endeavor under one heal, to bring
about uniform activity and effort, an -1
to eliminate so far as possible waste-
ful duplication. The roan and the
brains are available. The Research
Council has effected an eggressiv; co-

that there shah be establiehel a na-

ing.to J. G. Strathdee who rang the
French River Bungalow Camp at
this Ontario resort, that he and his
another, while paddling clown the
River, past the golf course, struelc a
musealunge at least four feet long
which was sunning itself near the
surfaoe of the water. The muskie,
which was as surprised as the canoists,
leaped several feet out of the water,
then vanished from view.
Frenele River station is on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, 215 miles
north of Toronto 00 miles north of
Parry Sound, and '45 miles south of
Sudbury, The Bungalow Camp is
attractively situates on an elevation
commanding a magnificent view of

and within 200 yards of the station.
In addition to the Bungalow Camp,
an outlying sun, -camp p .••tooted at
Pine Rapids, at the head of Eighteen
Mile Island, inthe heart of the best
fishing waters of the upper French
river.
It has as an adjunct Pine Rapids
Camp, which is 25 miles up the river.
These two camps aecommixtate

of fish mileeeltmee, Great Northern

well built and comfortable bungalows
at Inc main camp, while Pine Rapids
has canvas houses built en wooden
floors. French River is 215 miles
North of Toronto.
Here is a tale told by Mr. Strath'
dee, about a "muskie" with a tooth-
ache. In August, this big fresh water
tiger needy a fish dentist. Last year
a visitor to French River hooked a,
80 -pounder which immediately drop-
ped to the bottom of the river and
sulked. The knowing Indian guide
tapped the rod with his knife; the
vibrations went through the pole,
down the line to the mouth of the
“muskie", and irritated one of iie
sore teeth. The muskie then leaped
clear of the water, and proceeded to
give the fisherman a fierce fight last-
ing three-quarters of an ]lour.]
