"Find me a suitable animal which can be infected with a disease and I will give you good hope of preven. tion, if not of cure," said the late Sir David Bruce. Influenza has lit. tle if anything to do with tropical medicineâ€"Sir David‘s specialty â€" 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."

For a considerable time experts have been carrying out extensive experiments with Canadian spruce wood. The ul. timate success attendant on these exâ€" periments has resulted in the introâ€" duction of a new and intensely inâ€" teresting fabric to the Mother Coun. try, and one which, is destined to immense popularity on account of its extraordinary durability and utility. Through their experiments and disâ€" coveries in this direction Canadians may well be instrumental in opening up new and important trade connecâ€" tions with England and other parts of the Empire, The fabric resulting from the exâ€" periments with Canadian spruce wood is startlingly similar in grain and texture to leather, with all its com. mendable features of durability. Yet the fabric is actually manufactured from the purified cellulose fibres of the spruce wood. By means of a re. cently discovered process these fibâ€" res can be moulded by intense heat pressure until this takes on the form of a leatherâ€"like fabric, which has withstood remarkable tests enabling it to be placed in the front rank of durable fabrics, 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 â€" themselves to _ British users, who are not slow to acknowlâ€" edge a thoroughly reliable article. Shoes made from this fabric are light, soft and exceedingly hardâ€" wearing, and the material lends itself to intricate design and inter.lacing,. The Duchess of Kent‘s shoes have interlaced instep strappings. During the process of perfecting this fabric many severe tests were carried out, after which the finished article bore no illâ€"effects. The proof that a fabric of this nature can em. ergeâ€" unharmed from the stringent and somewhat drastic tests of freezâ€" ing and boiling is sufficient testimâ€" 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. The experiments on the cellulose fibres of spruce wood have opened up a wide range of possibilities, for the fibres can be utilized in many widely divergent articles, from fabrics, shoes and upholstery fabrics to asâ€" phalt roofs. New products will, no doubt, be rapidly developed, based on the new discovery, quite apart from the vast improvements to preâ€" sent utility articles which will be rendered possible. _ ud mutianad With a member of the Royal Famâ€" ily to set this new fabric on the road to popularity, and with its own unâ€" disputed advantages, Canada has here every prospect of a new and profitable line of commerce.

The process of converting : cellulose into sugar is commercially cheap and efficient enough, but it takes too long to grow wood. To {support ten pecple, according to the |statistically inclined Sgen"giei s During the World War German chemists were hard at work trying to convert cellulose (wood) into suâ€" gar. It was a harder problem than it seemedâ€"so bard, in fact, that not until after the treaty of peace was signed was success achieved. â€" The victors in this struggle were Profes. sor Friedrich von Bergius (Nobel Prize winner), famous for his work in making gasoline and motor spirâ€" its out of coal gas, and Professor vyon Scholler. What the two chemâ€" ists gave the world is a way of makâ€" ing wood palatable. German Process. Successful, But Is Not Considered Practical ; 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 Scholler 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 sug There can be no question of the efficacy of this process. But will it enable Germany to do away with su. gar importations? â€" Her production of sugar beets, while large, is not enâ€" ough for her domestic needs. Professor O. Spengler,) director of the Institute for Sugar Industry in Berlin, crushes the wild hopes vhat German economists have based on beets are required.
