PRINCE PRAISES EMPIRE WOODS
The Prince of Wales seized an op-
portunity the other day to speak some
a
words of commendation of C nadian.
enterprise and Canadian products. He
" was called upon to deliver an addre's's
upon forestry in the British Empire to
a gathering in London. He 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
Government through its Forestry Com-
mission. Already considerable tracts
of land that were formerly forests
have been replanted with trees and
other land, notin recent times tim-
bered, has been planted. South Africa
and the States of Australia, too, were
carrying out tree -planting schemes.
As for Canada, His Royal Highness
said the Dominion hated "buckled to the
task" of surveying 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,
"it appears rather unfortunate that the
United Kingdom should expend so
!mach as its Moes on foreign supplies."
Ile pointed out that last year the pee-
pie of the United Kingdom paid more
than $280,000,000 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 Wenbley 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 terns
from sources within the Empire they
might well do so instead of going for
those supplies to sources outside the
Empire. With that doctrine the people
of the Dominions will agree. They will
also be gratified to observe that the
Prince is anxious to promote Great
Britain s purchases as a ell as Great
Britain's sales within the Empire and
so foster a trade that will be beneficial
to all parts of the Empire.
Finding the Picture.
i squeezed a bit mare bhte into the
pool of color and found only hard,
metallic gray when I would have made
moonlight silver. My purple resemb-
led the sunburned jacket of an Italian
street vendor instead of the royal hue
that I wished to make, I had tried to
tone my ba.ckgraund 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 1 1:owailed my fate and longed
with the ran.lam of self-pity, for some
new tool with which to work. I was
bound by age old colors that people
had looked upon since time began. No
wonder my picture was an unkiudled
thing. My purpose was an exalted one

artist to give the world a trey beauti-
ui thing, but I was bound—bound by

the hutting beyond. An winter's day
was closing in about me. All around
there hovered a drab mist. The high,

to go endlessly on Iike 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-

"Thank you, guv-nor," he said, look-

Somehow we were walking along to-

reason for this already; the little Tuan
talked abundantly, but from time to
time he looked up to me, puzz:ped, and
perhaps annoyed. Probably he would
have told me to let him alone, if it
had rot been for my size. He was
a small man, and I happen to be one
of those peop:e who cannot get into
an omnibus with their hat on. And
I am broad in proportion. I culmin-
ated over the little man like a moun-
tain; no doubt this embarrassed him.
Still, after a whine, we crossed the
road; at the corner of a street he at-
tempted to get rid of me, remarking:l
"So long, guv'nor," and paused,
"That's where I turn off," he re-
marked.
"Indeed?" I said. "You're going

grip that surprised him. "If you feel
