Referring to the new system, the Christian Science Monitor says: It makes possible the distillation at the pit mouth, or at any point in transit which may economically be advan- tageous, `of coal, so -that the by-pro- ducts in the shape _of gasoline, lub-- ricating oil, pitch and fertilizer will -more than pay for the cost of dis- tillation, while fuel gas is provided and.the residuum of the coal still re- mains with almost as much fuel value as the coal itself originally possess- ed. Mr. Ford's picturesque phrase that he intended to show the World how to burn its coal twice seems thoroughly justied by the results thus far attained in this process. Q'|..\..I.I 4.1.... .......................I. ---....I- ....L Since the fuel problem has become; such a pressing one, anyrpropositiong that promises a- partial solution is ai matter of general concern. Just now} an interesting experiment along thisl line is being madeby Henry Ford! with ``low temperature distillation of` coal. Such--faith has Mr. Ford in` this plan for burning the coal twice" that he has invested $500,000 in a plant now in course of erection at Walkerville, capable of distilling about 400tons of soft coal a day, from each-ton of which eight to ten gallons of gasoline, with lesser quan- tities of lubrication oil, pitch and fertilizer, will be recovered. 1'J--._..-.._- 1.- AL- ..___ -_-_-;__..- `LL- A wLcoME'Xiv-1v-ouNcEMENT NEW FUEL EXPERII/IENT Fresh F i: ,EDI'l'OR`IAL- COMMENT an \IL uuyxucl.` I.'lUVlus- UH ('5',`1890, the day that the Hon.

I affects that part of Barrie. If the ' ratepayers approve, the children in attendance at the King Georgel oli and the school on Blake St. closed. It has been suggested that a new school be built on the old collegiate; site, but this is regarded as` out of the questionhbecause of the expense involved. For some of the children i it will be a hardship to have to go! such a distance to Victoria Schoolii and it is possible that the ratepayers may prefer-`to -have the present ar- rangement continued for classes be- low the Third Book. The Board s only desire in the matter is to serve 5. the best interests of the children in `that section of the town and it is to`l |-be'hoped that the ratepayers moregr iimmediately concerned will attendqit {the `meeting on Monday and give thels {trustees the benet of their opinions. 15 , . 1 1 11 I`: < "The total` value of imports into - Canada during April was $68,181,- .- 320, as against $47,695,454 in 1922 I and $65,310,847 in 1921.

Born in London, England, the artist studied drawing in South Kensington and came to Canada in 1867. During the succeeding years, Mr. Bell-Smith served as. a Director of Fine Arts in Alma College, St. Thomas, as drawing teacher. in the London public schools, and "director, lecturer and writer on art subjects lelsewhere. . He was one of the char- B` ter members of the Society of Can-I - adian Artists. Many famous paint - ings came from his brush and he has I` been acoorded "several important f commissions, such as Queen Victor- 5 ia s Tribute to Canada, for which Her I Majesty gave personal sittings; and - the Landing of the Blenheim, now in I the National Collection at Ottawa. .- He was a regular exhibitor at Royal . Canadian Academy and other exhib- .' itions. Some of his best workis de- v scriptive of street` and city `life in Old London, in which he has caught the atmosphere and spirit" of the great metropolis, and he was no less noted in portraying Rocky Mountain scenery in the Canadian, West, in which he was peculiarly successful.
