PRINCE PRAISES RAISES EMPIRE WOODS Tlie Prince of Wales seized an. op- portunity the other day to speak same words of commendation of Canadian enterprise and Canadian products. He was called upon to deliver an address upon forestry in the British Empire to a gathering in London. Ho noted that large timber resources -comprising many varieties of wood were to be found within the British Empire and that the countries of the Empire were giving attention to forestry problems. He spoke of the reforestration pro- gram being carried out by the British Govermnent throegh its Forestry Com- mission. Already considerable tracts of laud that were formerly forests have been replanted with trees and other land, not in recent times rim. bared, has been planted. South Africa and the States of Australia, too, were Carrying out tree -planting schemes. is for Canada, His Royal Highness Said the Dominion had "buckled to the task" of eurveying its ''vast resources and protecting them from fire and reckless exploitation," He added, "Canada produces the finest soft wood lumber in the world, as we saw at Wembley.". The Prince directed at- tention to the opportunity for trade In lumber within the Empire. "Consider- ing what excellent timber of every kind the Empire produces;' he said, 9t appears rather unfortunatethat the United Kingdom should expend so much as its does on foreign supplies." He pointed out that last year the peo• ple of the -United Kingdom paid more than $230,000,000 for imported timber of which only thirteen per cent. came from Empire sources: "I would ap- peal," he said,. "to large users of tim- ber, such as railway companies and builders, to bear this in mind when placing orders." In that connection, it may be noted that newspaper des- patches from Great Britain reported some months ago.the intention of some British interests to look for certain. forest products in Canada. Those des- patches spoke of orders to be placed, In this country for railway ties and other timber. It was said that Can- ada's display of " woods and articles Made from, wood at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley had helped to secure orders for Canadian firms. The Prince of Wales suggests that if British buyers of timber can secure their supplies on satisfactory terms from sources within the Empire they might well do so instead of going for those supplies to sources outside the Empire. With that doctrine tlio people' of theDomintons will agree. They will also be gratified t8 observe that the Prince is anxious to promote Great Britain's purchases as well as Great Britain's sales within the Empire and so foster Et trade that will be beneficial to all parts of the Empire. Finding the Picture. I sgaeozed a bit more blue into the pool of color and found only hard, metallic gray when I would bave made moonlight silver. My purple resemb- led the sunburned jacket of an Italian street vendor instead of the royal hue that T wished to make. I had tried to tone my background into old, dull gold and I had only cold yellow. My blue— but what was the use: The picture was a spectrum of the thing I hoped to make, Then I bewailed my fate and longed with the random of self-pity, for some new tool with which to work. I was bound by age-old colors that people bad looked upon since time began. No wonder my picture was an enkindled thing. My purpose was an exalted one --I longed with all the ardor of au artist to give the world a truly beauti- ful thing, but I was bound—bound by the over-worked colors of the ages. If only I could make some new shade, dis- cover some new channel through which to give my inner vision to the world! I could stand the narrow limits of my room no longer. I passed through my moon gate Into. the hutung beyond. An winter's day was closing in about nae. All around there hovered a drab mist. The high, gray stones of the walled alley seemed to go endlessly on like the centuries they represented. Each stone wedged itself fantastically into the soft, gray light. The sky gave no color, but fell over the world like a silver benedic- tion.

I opened them and there against the dull, gray wall stood a tiny' lad looking at me, with his black, almond eyes alight with the joy of possession.

Thus, one night, as I was loafing about any hunting ground, I perceived coming toward me 'a strangely formed shape, something rather low upon its legs, . •the upper part of which was bulky. As it came closer, I saw that it was a small man' carrying a bundle. I went toward him, so as tobenefit by the lights of Victoria Gate, and saw that the bundle was a sack whie'h the man with difficulty bore upon hie right'shoul- der., Noor people carrying sacks at night axe .usually engaged upon un- interesting removals, notably -fleeing from the landlord, but the police are perpetuiyliy interested in them, be- cause burglars are given to carrying the fruits of their trade. •'Thus, just, as the little man reached the gate, the policeman on duty stepped for- ward and stopped him. "Hullo, mate," said the policeman, in a friendly tone, "what's that you've got? Is it heavy?" "Weighs about a ton," said the little man, "Where are you going to on shanks' pony?" "Acton." That's a long way. , What have you got in tihat sack, prate?" - "What's' it gat to do with you?" snarled the little man,, He burst into shrill' denunciations: Was this a free country?
