Engineers of outstanding ability,
Canadian -trained, a r e looking
towards the development of the
industries and natural resources
of Canada so that they can come
back. In fact, several prominent
engineers have come back to Can-
ada during the past few months.
An outstanding instance of this is
Mr. D. McCall White, a Scotch
man . by birth, who, after serving
as 'Vice -President and General
Manager of . the Cadillac Motor
Company and ,more 'recently as
Vice -President: and, General Man-
ager op the Lafayette Motor Com-
pany, hasannounced his accept-
ance of an executive position with
Brooks Steam Motors, Limited,
whose President, Mr. 0. J. Brooks,
had searched theranks of execu-
tives in Canada, the United
States, England and Europe. One
of the remarkable things regard-
ing Mr. White's change from the
conventional type of motor to
steam is the fact that he started
originally as - a steam engineer,
and it is undoubtedly affection for
this first love which has induced
him to give support to the'rmanu-
facture, of steamer cars. Mr. White
undoubtedly ranks with the fore-
most pioneers of the automotive
industry.
Mr. White's, first important ex-
perience in the designing of motor
cars came during 1906 and 1907,:
when he ,was employed by the
Daimler Motor Car Company as
special designing engineer. After-
wards he went to Naples as Gen-
eral Manager of the Italian Com-
pany. After completing his work
for the Daimler, . Company,; Mr.
White joined D. Napier and Son,
Limited, of London, England, as
Chief Engineer. Napierbuilt the
first six cylinder can in the world
and it was' Mr. White's job, to
design a car which would remain
supreme in speed 'tests for two
This a succe g
years. T h ded in doing
and during his connection with
the Napier Company he designed
three of the highest priced cars in
Europe.

bases his prediction on his many
years of experience in the auto-
motive field."
And in connection with the ap-
pointment, too, Mr. Brooks' made ,
a significant statement. "I had
the pleasure of riding with Mr. .
White at the rate of over fifty
miles an hour in our . newly : de-
veloped bus," he said. "He was
supremely delighted with its per-
formance. After a thorough ex-
amination of the boiler and
burner units and other features
of its construction, he declared
that the Brooks Steam Bus was in
a' class by itself, and so far super-
ior in performance and long life
that competitive products would „
make no showing against it."
In his connection with General
Motors and as -Chief Engineer of
Cadillac Motors, Mr. D. McCall
White met a great many of the
younger generation of Canadian
engineers drawing down very sub-
stantial salaries. "It is only nat-
ural for the to go where there is
work for them to do," he explain-
ed, "and as soonas the present
prosperous trend in Canada brings
development work to the fore,
you will find Canadian graduates
flocking back agafu."
Announcement is also made by
the same company, of the appoint-
ment of
ppointmentof Mr. H. A. Oswald as Fac-
tory ' Manager. Mr. Oswald has
been in the automobile business
for a period of twenty years as an
executivefor some of the largest
manufacturers in the States. He.
was •born in Toronto, July 15th,
1890, where he spent his boyo
hood and received his education,
Later he went through a post
graduate course in mechanical
engineering at the School of
Science, ° Pottsdown, Pa., from
which institution he received his
degree of Technical Engineer.
Returning to Toronto, he served
a six year apprenticeship at the
James Morrison Brass Manufac-
turing Company, under the direc-
tion of his father, who was at that
time General Manager of the Com-
pany, the oldest and largest brass
company in Canada.
Another Canadian: with Quite a
distinguished engineering Career
in the United States is also join-
ing the same organization, in the
person of Mr. J. Heber Coyne,
B.Se.,' who obtained his degree in
electrical and mechanical engin-
eering from the 'University of
Toronto in 1900, and is a native
of St. Thomas, Ontario. He has
had a remarkable career' as Chief
Engineer in the development of
the ICnight Sleeve Valve Engine,
and during the war, with the
Packard Motor Company he had
charge of design work of the
Light Six and Liberty Aircraft
Engine, and after that became a
member -of the Advisory Engin-
eering Staff of General Motors.
He is a member of the Institu-
tion of Automobile ',engineers of
Great . Britain and Society of
A•utomotive'Engineers of America.
To many of the leading men in
the industry, Mr. White's accept-
ance of steam as the logical meth-
od of transportation is significant
of the. change which is taking
place in the industry itself. There
are many today who wonder
whether . the genius which has.
gone into the making of the mod-
ern motor car has not been mis-
applied. Perhaps the situation
was best summed up by 0. S.
Brooks, : President, of Brooks
Steam Motors: "It. would have
been impossible for us to interest
D. McCall White," he said, "had
it not been for his early years of
experience in the designing of
steam engines for motor purposes
and his long standing belief that
steam is the ultimate power for
road transportation. Mr. White
foresees a future when steam
engines will take the place of in-
ternal combustion engines for
automobiles, buses, trucks, tree-
tors, and all motor vehicles. He

produce small bulbs and in buying a

when the size of the bulbs vary to a
considerable degree, the largest bulbs
do not always give the best' results.
It is essential that the bulbs be of

lime and hone meal, thoroughly work-
ed into the soil, but fresh. stableman-

Planting for cut flowers should be

to keep the plants from falling over

should be planted . May 1st., to June

the flower spikes so as to leave two
or three leaves on your bulb root,
leaving plenty of strength for the
bulb. Bulbs should be dug before the

Before hard frost dig the bulbs and
