INCOME TAX; AMEND ME'ND'S RECEIVE
THIRD READING IN FEDERAL DOUSE
Ottawa, Ont. -Income tax changes
announced in the; budget were given
third reading in the 'House with one
amendment. This was a substitute
clause, touching on personal corpora-
tions, proposed by Hon..G.' 14. Boivin,
Minister of Customs. The new clause
provides:
"Dividends actually declared by a
personal .corporation after December
31, 1924, shall be deemed to be paid
out of income earned after said De -
comber 31, 1924, so far as the eame is
available, and to that extent ehail not
be liable to further taxation in". the
hands of eharebolders."
Explaining the change, Mr. Boivin,
said there was no intention of putting
the personal corporation out of exis-
tence. "But we do say," he added,
"you shall pay the same.amount of
Federal taxation as if you had remain-
ed an individual," In future, no mat-
ter what the surplus might be, the en-
tire earnings of the corporation would
be taxed as personal income for' the
year.
C. H. Cohan (St. Lawrence -St.
George) had an amendment to exempt
1926 Canadian dividends from taxa-
tion. Henri Bourassa (Labelle) had
another that the exemption age for
dependent children be raised from 18
to 21. Both amendments' were with
drawn.
EXPLORER FINDS NEW
SPECIES OF TREES
Discoveries in Central Amer-
ica Include Tree That
Furnishes Milk.
New Haven,' Conn.—Indiana of
Eastern Guatemala have at least one
advantage over more civilized peoples
which musk depend on cows and goats
for milk. Whenever a Guatemalan
feels thirsty all he has to do is to go
into the jungles and cut a gash in a
"cow tree."
So Dr. Samuel J. Record, professor
of forests' products. at Yale, explain-
ed in announcing the discovery on a
recent trip to Central' America of a
dozen new species of trees, one the
"cow tree," and a tree+whose sap,. 15
blood red.
Creamy white latex gushes out of
the "cow tree" when it is cut with an
axe, Dr. Record said. After tasting
the sap and finding it free from sticki-
ness, he said his only regret was that
he had no way; of carrying a supply
back to his camp to pour on a dish of
bananas.
In British Honduras he found the
"bleeding" tree, another relative of
the Paduac of India and Africa, which
is used in the making of fine furniture.
Another tree he has reported to the
Bureau of Forestry at Washington is
one whose wood is excellent for cab-
inets, but whose sap is poisonous,
inflicting deep burns.

MISSING PROSPECTORS
DISCOVERED IN WOODS
Porcupine and Chipmunks
Had Furnished Subsistence
for Two Weeks.
Lindsay.—Weatherhead and 'Solo-
mon, the two missing Toronto pros-
pectors, who have been lost since May
24, in the woods of Haliburton, were
found by a trapper, George Boyce,
near Hollow Lake, They had been
subsisting on wild game and also on
some food found in an abandoned
camp near the lake - They are both in
good condition, although worried with
being lost and very tired with tramp-
ing.
The two men existed for two weeks
and a half on porcupines and a few
chipmunks. According to their own
story, they must have tramped over
500 miles to the camp at Bound, Lake,
at the edge of Hollow Lake, where
they took shelter in an abandoned
lumber camp owned by Mick e and
Diament. Nevertheless they were only
10 miles from the camp at Greazie
Lake,` from which they wandered on
May 24, It took a day for them and
their guide to brush their way out
through the dense forest, as there are
no roads. Their alarm of rifle shots
could not be heard and fires would be
dangerous in the thick forest.

Midlareg—Resolved to join a tennis
club ;at Port McNicoll, and ignoring
warnings not to attempt, the passage,
two young men, William C. Duddridge,
aged 28, and Ray Eden, aged 21, both
of 'London, Ont., set out from Triple
Bay Park, and were drowned when the
16 -foot canoe which they were pad-
dling was swamped by the heavy seas
running in Georgian Bay.
Both young men were capable swim-
mers, but the iciness' of the water and
the difculty of making headway
through the turbulent waves proved
too flinch for them, despite the fact
that they were only some 200 yards
from the shore,
A. G. Elson, proprietor of Triple
Bay Park, and by whom they were.
employed, attempted to swim through
the breakers to their :assistance, : but
was compelled to return td shore al-
