A despatch from New York says:— Jchn'1). Rockefeller has given to man- k;nd a Christmas present of 000,000,- 000 --•-half to the General Educa- tion . Board to raise the salan- les of college professors and half • to • the Rockefeller Founda- tion to aid in its work of combatting diseasd through improvement of medi- cal education, public health adminis- tration- and scientifig research. It i:9 estimated that Mr. Rockefeller's pub- lic gifts now approxim : e $150,000,000. While leaving to the Ceeeral Educa- tion Board the task of se:ecting the colleges whichshallrecoive award, for their teaching staffs:and the amount each .is to receive Mr. Rockefeller urged that the principal as well as the income be used "as promptly and largely as may seem wise." The trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation also are authorized to -utile ize both the principal and, income of their gift; in connection with which Mr. Rockefeller added that if the board "should see fit to use any part of this new gift in promoting medical education iii Canada, such action' would meet with,?ny eor'1ial approval.'-'. Such action will be taken, according to Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the Foundation, who stated that the trustees would be asked .to set aside $5,000;0004o'r' this purpose. In asserting $5,000,000 would be set aside for Canadian .schools, Dr. Vincent said: "From this sum appropriations will be made by the Foundation to medical schools on condition that they raise additional funds from .other sources. It is hoped that $5,000,000 tiros` em- ployed by the Foundation at this time will give a distinct impetus td the de- velopment of medical • education in Canada. • HEAT AND FLOUR ADVANCE IN.

With their ' boats de- molished, MacDonald and •the others hung on by ropes over the leeside of the shattered hulls for five hours continually drenched by breakdrs and expecting death in the surf every minute. At midnight a portion of the vessel's stern twisted off and drifted between them and the bank. Over this -miraculous gangplank they dash- ed to the shore. Overhead towered a perpendicular cliff, 350 feet bight. The climb was a seven -hour nightmare and it was not till daylight that they reached the summit, with bruised and bleeding limbs and tattered clothing, and saw far below fragments of what was once a thirty -thousand dollar vessel, with ,her fifteen thousand dollar cargo. She came to grief on her maiden voyage six weeks`after her launching.

In introducing to our readers the work of thls Farm •Organization as it concerns us women, we thought the first thing you would' lilcee:all to have an idea of is, who aro we anyway? It is really too bad that :more of the 175,000 women of Ontario could not have met at this great convention, but we'll do our best to get acquainted this way, , There were at least 1.50 .nremberlt present, and visitors besides; and a group they were to which• one wag proud to n Mrs, Brodiebelo,g, the President, is an ideal farm woman. Her Interest and work for our U.F,W 0 has never made her any less the good' wife and mother, and she has all •111e dignity and ease in her public work that we country women used to think belonged only to the women of the -town. Wo know better now. No class 'has more ability than we of the farm possess. The trouble is we have only begun to realise that fact, much less to develop our talent, But our convection was a revela- tion to us. We found that we had, ideas, every one of us, and could ex, prase them. From the women who had had some experience, gained per. haps through W. L work, to the young girl who gave us her ideas -when we asked for them, because the rule of our Club is, '-When you -re pelted to do anything, try and do it," .everyone spoke to the point and each had het message. One of the principal discussion* centred around the- question, "Hove shall we heap our young folk on the farm?" All gave splendid addresses —talks, rather—and some of the ;best thoughts were these "Make a com• panion of your yoti'1ug folk," This is your. t isinees. This was Mrs,' Buck- ingham's message: ''My children all are on the farms," she added, showing that her method had been a success- ful one. "Provide educational recreation," said Mrs. Amos. "Give them a busi- ness interest," said a delegate; "Open your -louse to their companions," said another, "Plan for labor" -saving de. vices and make farm life icss of a drudgery," said someone else. The president salts itt her address; "Assume the responsibility for present conditions and aeon each of you to find the remedy and help to apply it," She said other worth -while things too. "If wo cannot show a reason for existing we'll die," warned another. But space fails. Prom time to time we want to tell you more about these women and. what they are doing, but bear in mind, each of you, that they are farm women, all working for a better Ontario.—Marjory Mitis. 121,706 -Cars Owned' in Western Canada A despatch from Winnipeg says: -- Despite the fact that one person out of every fourteen in the Province of Manitoba already owns an autoi#lobile, up to very recently applications for licenses have boon received in Mani- toba at the rate of forty or fifty a day. The Municipal Commissioner has estimated that from eight to ten thousand automobiles were sold in the province, Provided the -present healthy commercial conditions are sustained, next, spring will, in all probability, see an unprecedented boom"fir the motor car and truck busi- ness. The automobile statistics , for the West covering the year 1919 will show a marked increase over the previous year. At the end of 1918 there were' approximately 121,708 motor cars in use in Westrn Canada. Saskatchewan had 46,880 of these,• Manitoba about 30,000, AIberta 29,500 and British Columbia 15,820. --a- se --- First Woman Barrister aux Et gland A despatch from London says:... - Britain has now a woman legislator and she recently acquired her first Qualified lawyer, one who can plead in the high court, for Miss Helena Normanton, the first woman barrister in England, became a member of the Middle 'Temple Just before Christmas. Her admittance was, of course a great break in the tradition of the English bar.

She comes of 'an old legal family and is already well known to many members of the legal profession as an authority on constitutional law. Alberta Farmer Busy Seeding.
