Schools Proposed For Prison Inmates TORONTO — Compulsory school attendance for inmates of all penal institutions was suggested in the fifth annual report of the Ctizen Service Association, presented at their recent annual meeting here. With a view to bettering conditions, it recommended that every illiterate prisoner should be given schooling, and every prisoner with the ambi- tion to study should be encouraged se a Oahe Progress to do so.

Influenza has --lit- tle if anything to do with tropical medicine—Sir David's specialty — yet like Malta fever and" Nagana, the diseases with which Sir David's name is especially linked, its nature has been made a little clearer by practically applying the principle of "find me a suitable animal." The animal in this case is the mouse. It has long been suspected that influenza is caused by a filtrable • vis rus, in other words by some virulent organism too small to be -seen Vin, any 'microscope, • so s>aa11,'• in fact, that it flows throubgh,the finest porce- lain filter like water. With that hy_ pothesas the medical profession had to be content until last year. Then it was discovered that influenza can• be transmitted to ferrets. The call. for a suitable animal had been ans- wered. The animal found, further investigation removed any doubt as to the nature of the virus. It did indeed belong to the filtrable vari- ety, Now come Drs, Andrewes, Laidlaw and Wilson Smith with a new dis- covery and a new step in the fight against influenza. Strains of human and swine virus which had laid ter. rets low were successfully used ;in infecting mice through the nose. Sera were then prepared against the fer- ret strains of human and swine in- fluenza. Injected into mice, they had e neutralizing effect. From the story as the experimenters tell it ill The Lancet, it is evident that the discov- ery is complete in the large, Even if it has still, to be shown that mice can be infected directly by Man without the aid of the ferret, influ- enza ,has now been definitely con- quered.

Ai -S0 MADE UP IN CIGARETTE TOBACCO; Sugar From Wood German Process Successful, But Is Not Considered Practical During the World War German cantly discovered process these fib chemists were hard at work trying res • can be moulded by intense heat to convert cellulose (wood) into su- pressure until this takes on the form gar, It was a harder problem than of a leather -like fabric, which has it seemed—so bard, in fact, that not withstood remarkable tests enabling until after the treaty of peace was it to be placed iu the front rank of signed was success achieved. The durable fabrics, victors in this struggle were Profes- sor Friedrich von Bergius (Nobel Prize winner), famous for his work in making gasoline and motor spir- its out of coal gas, and Professor von Scholler. What the two chem- ists gave the world is a way of mak- ing wood palatable. Two of the first articles made from this new fabric for introduction into this country may be found among the wedding gifts of the Duke and Duch- ess of Kent„ although primarily de- signed and executed for the personal use of Princess Marina. They take the form of attractive soft brown shoes with a matching handbag, both produced to a corresponding design. The use of these articles by the Duchess' of Kent will doubtless do much to introduce and popularize this unique Canadian fabric to the people of this country. When once tested, the qualities of the fabric will commend themselves to British. users, who are not slow to acknowl- edge a thoroughly reliable article. Shoes made from this fabric are light, soft and exceedingly hard- wearing, and the material lends itself to intricate design and interlacing, The Duchess of Kent's shoes have interlaced instep strappings. The experiments on the cellulose fibres of spruce wood have opened up a wide range of possibilities, for the fibres can be utilised in many widely divergent articles, n.: from fabrics, .A. goat can eat paper, but a man cannot. A difference in digestive processes is the reason, Hence the problem that von Bergius and von StatolIer faced was that of creating in the factory what was in effect an artificial stomach of glass and metal and letting that digest wood. The digestive juices were powerful acids that split the cellulose into sugar. PLAN NOT PRACTICAL. There can be no question of the efficacy of this process. But will it enable Germany to do away with su- gar importations? Her production of sugar beets, while large is not en. ough for her domestic needs. Professor 0. Spengler, director c% the Institute for Sugar Indu;,.�- _a Berlin, crushes the wild hope:. that German economists have based on shoes and upholste7y fabrics to: as_ the work of von Bergius and von sheet roofs.

To from the'. vast improvements to pre- sent utility artici s which will be rendered:,Possible. ._ Duuring the piocess of perfecting this fabric many severe testa were carried out, after vliach the finished article bore no ill-effects. The'�proof that a fabric of this nature can em_' erge unharmed from the stringent and somewhat drastic tests of freez- ing and boiling is sufficient testim- ony to its reliability. Two subse- quent tests to which the fabric was submitted were those if baking and freezing and then baking again, but neither process affected the material. Among other equally stringent tests, the fabric was boiled in water, soak_ ed in ammonia for a day and a night and afterwards dried immediately in an intense heat, With a member of the Royal Fam- ily to set this new fabric on the road to popularity, and with its own un- disputed advantages, Canada has here every prospect of a new and profitable line of commerce.

The same area. planted to potatoes will support but ten and wheat but six. Because wood grows so slowly the same am- ount of forest land would make even a poorer showing than does wheat aver the year, Evidently a tree is a poor substitute for the sugar beet in Germany's present economic crisis.
