A despatch from Fort William
says :-A world record for all time to

Arthur harbor in the loading of grain
into ships.
Between midnight on Wednesday
and midnight on Thursday 6,700,000
bushels were loaded into boats from
stocks in store by elevators in filling
orders distributed during the day by
the Lake Shippers' Clearance Associa-
tion. The previous record of the port
was about 6,000,000 bushels and that
was the record for the world.
There is no other port which can
compete with the one .at the Canadian

Where and .•How Insulin is Made
Tucked away in an obscure corner
of the University of Toronto grounds, ,
overshadowed bythe new electrical
engineering building and flanked by
a row of venerable elms, stands a two-
storey, red -brick building formerly
occupied by the University Y.M.C.A..
A year or two ago it was planned to
remove the building, as it was not
suitable for any university purpose.
To -day, housing, as it does, the only
"Insulin laboratory" in Canada, the
building, together with its recently
installed equipment, is worth upwards
of $35,000,
The Insulin laboratoryis one of the
latest chapters in the romance of. In-
sulin. It stands as a confirmation of
the success of the research of Dr. F.
G. Banting and his fellow -investiga-
tor, Charles H. Best, M.A.: Its man-
agement and operation are in the cap-
able hands of Mr. Best, who has, from
the beginning, been in Charge of the
large-scale production of insulin. The
laboratory is operated as a division of
the famous Connaught Anti -Toxin
laboratories, of which Dr. J. G. Fitz-
gerald is director and Dr. R. D. Def-'
ries, associate director. The business
administration is in charge of Dr. l
Fitzgerald and. Dr. Defries: Mr. Best'
is assisted in the new laboratories by

tor, and a `staff of twenty-six people'.
working night and day shifts, With
the exception of three trained chem-
ical technicians, under direction of
Mr. Arthur Wall, who was the first
technician to assist Mr. Best when
the manufacture of insulin was begun,!
and four chemists, the stair is largely '
technically untrained. During the
summer months five medical students
i were employed in the laboratories and'
during the winter two ..students are
engaged in part-time work.

tures cakes of ice for small refrigeri

running continuously to ventilate the
labitratories and clear the air of al-
cohol mes.
On futhe second, floor, in addition to
the purification laboratory, theren�ss'
a laboratory in which two chemist'a'
are employed on research work in con-
nection with insulin. Clean, well -.i
ventilated rooms are provided for the
animals used and a small operating
room is near - at hand.
-The preparation- of insulin is con-
trolled by, patents applied for in var-
ious countries of the world by the
original investigators. These patents
have been assigned to the University
of Toronto and a committee, appointed
by the Board of Governors, is respon-
sible for the administration of patent
and other rights and for the promo-.
tion of efficient production and distri-
bution of insulin in all countries of the
world. The original investigators,
Dr. Banting and Mr. Best, receive no
financial benefit from the patent but
desired to prevent the filing of other,
patents which Wright restrict the pre
partition of insulin. In Great •Britain
complete patent rights have been as-
signed to the British Medical Re-
search Council and in tlfe United
States the Ely, Lilly. Company of
Indianapolis has been licensed by the
University of Toronto to manufacture
insulin. The licensing of other firms
in the United States is at present
under consideration. Rights in all
countries except Great Britain have
been retained by the University of
Toronto. The patents for insulin
have been obtained largely through
the efforts of C. H. Riches, e patent
lawyer of Toronto, who has given his
services to the University without
charge.
In addition to carrying out his du-
ties as director of the Insulin Labora-
tory, Mr. Best is continuing the fifth
year of his course in Medicine, which
he interrupted in 1921 to collaborate
with Dr, F. G. Banting in the re-
searches which led to the discovery of
the insulin treatment of diabetes.

FREE STATE TOFOAT
£10,000,000 LOAN
Money to be Used 'to Defray
Damage Caused by the
Late Civil War.
A despatch from Dublin says :-A
largely attended meeting of the Dub-
lin Chamber of Commerce on Friday
unanimously endorsed the proposed
Free State loan, after listening to a
statement by Ernest Blythe, the Fin-,
ance Minister.
Those at the meeting included prac-!
tically all the heads of Dublin's big
business.
Mr. Blythe said the attempt to des-
troy
es troy the State by armed force had
been definitely defeated and there was
no fear of its .renewal, as the Govern-
ment had refused all compromise
which involved risk. The loan • was
not for the ordinary expenses of the
Government, which would be brought
within its revenue, but for the damage
caused in the conflict, -
A loan of £10,000,000 would suffice
for the present needs and within a
year the Free State's credit would be
as good as that of South. Africa, which
had floated a five per cent. loan at
99%. That Republicans in the Free
State had been returned to Parlia-
ment made no difference, for South
Africa also had its Republicans.
