Story of Research Work Carried on atMcintyre A 3â€"diamond engageâ€" ment ring of enâ€" chanting beauty and diamond wedding band that matcher perfectly. A sensaâ€" tional offer. in the research reached the conclusion that silica dust sprayed with aluminum powder lost its injurious effect on the lurigs. This meant that a great measure of immunity from silicosis would be secured from silicosis dust in the mine air. The research workers were not conâ€" tent with this, as it seemed a comparaâ€" tively clumsy method and did not asâ€" sure full protection to the workers. Acâ€" cordingly the experiments were conâ€" tinued, and it was chiefly on the reâ€" sults of the continuance of the reâ€" search that Dr. Robson spoke in his paper before the Ottawa gathering of physicians and surgeons, Among the newspaper reports of Dr, Robson‘s paper that in The Ottawa Journal deals with the matter in greater detail than any of the other newspaper reports noticed by The Advance. The following is the reference in full by The Ottawa Journal of the paper given before the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons on Saturday :â€" Work in Combatting Silicosis Dr. W. D. Robson, of the MciIntyre and they had made notable progress to the objective of finding ways and means to counteract the effects on the miners of the silica dust particles. The research work made it plain that if the silica dust could be prevented from going into solution it lost its toxic efâ€" fect. From this point successive steps EXCELSIOR Some months ago The Advance carâ€" ried reference to the suctess of the reâ€" search work at the MciIntyre, the Bantâ€" ing clinic working in collaboration. Dr. Robson and J. J. Denny were in charge of the research work at the MciIntyre, garnering of leading Canadian phyâ€" sicians and surgeon were given explanâ€" ation of the latest developments in the fight being waged against silicosis. Dr. W,. D. Robsor, of Schumacher. outlined in effective way the experiments that have been carried on at the Mz:Intyre Porcupine mines in effort to counteract or eliminate tuberculosis. Dr. Robson Outlines Experiments at Mcintyre and ‘Refi sults in Paper Given Before Fellows of the Royal Colâ€" lege of Physicians and Surgeons at Their Meeting in awa. j On Saturday last at the meeting of mine, Schumacher, Ort.. described pro-‘ the Fellows of the Royal Canadian Colâ€" | gress of work in combatting silicosis up‘ lege of Physiciars and Surgeons held| to and since last July‘s publication in} ln_?ho_cmtau Laurier at Ottawa, the| the Canadian â€"Medical â€" Association . MADE BY ROLFEX Mines Take Preventive Measures The mines, Dr. Robson said, "are now spending vast sums of money on venâ€" tilation to minimize the amount of dust as much as possible, ahd if these experiâ€" ments now in process should work out 100 percent., as they appear to be doâ€" oing, then silicosis as a miring problem will be practically eliminated. _ _Dr. Robson said experiments indicatâ€" ed aluminum would not act systematicâ€" ally, but must be mixed with the dust to be effective. "Whether this mixture must be continuous or not we are provâ€" ing by dusting some animals for half an hour with straight aluminum dust, then 12 hours in straight quartz dust," he added. "If this works satisfactorily, it would mean that miners could be dusted with aluminum dilst going on and coming off shifts, thus eliminating the aluminum dust in the mine air.‘" (Previous work indicated that if siliâ€" ca could be prevented from going into solution in the lung, it would lose its toxic effect.) Tests following blasting when the dust is thickest, he said, "show reduction in the soluble silica content of from 90 to 95 percent., using one ounce of aluminâ€" um powder in a drift containing 7000 to 10,000 cubic feet of air." . _ As a consequence of results obtained in work on animals, Dr. Robson said, the MciIntyre mine has been experiâ€" menting for the last six months with methods of releasing aluminum dust into the air of its underground workâ€" ings. It obtained best results by inâ€" stalling ejectors on the air linss and atomizing the dust dry into the chamâ€" the Canadian Medical Association Journal of a paper by himself and Dr.‘ J. J. Denny, metallurgical engineer, in which they reported they were able to neutralize the toxic effect of silica dust or experimental animals by introâ€" | duction of fine aluminum powder inbo] the dusty air they breathed. | "Even if the aluminum treatment 35 THIRD AVE â€" â€" TIMMINS Rolex Watchesâ€"Excelsior Diamonds _ _ The following day his companian broke jail and met Huhta on the highâ€" a few miles out, of Rouyn and toâ€" ether they went to Larder Lake where they were discovered by the aid of the Kirkland Lake Provincial Police living in a s.hack, and were brought back tc Rouyn. Both Huhta and the girl were sentenced to three months at Ville Marie dating from the time of their arrest, September 24. Oliva Huhta and Colette Parent, both from Val d‘Or and associates on a charge of vagrancy, were given senâ€" tences at Rouyn magistrate‘s court this week on charges of breaking jail. While awaiting trial in the Rouyn cells Huhta effected his escape on Sepntember 2 to hike his way on the Cheminis road for the border. take aver his 160â€"acre property in the Kenogami district and. use it as an orphanage for the District of Temiskâ€" aming. Mr. Uvanoff was born in Bulâ€" garia, but for many years has been a naturalized Canadian. He has lived on his farm in Ely township for over twelve years and has 23 acres fully cleared and in crop. His proposal is to have two Englishâ€"Canadians, two Frenchâ€"Canadians, and two each of Jugoslovaks, Bulgarians and Ukrainian parentage become trustees. The offer is generous one but it is doubtful if it can be taken up at any early date as the cost of the necessary buildings ard the expense of maintenance wou}dl be high. | Couple Given Terms for Escaping from Custody Mike Morin Uvanoff, himself an orâ€" phan who came to Canada some 29 years ago, wants a board of trustees to Work is being continued at the mine and at the Banting Institute in Toâ€" ronto under a grant of $15,000 from the mine.

We also feel that if these experiments have done nothing else they have stimulated an irterest in the industry along preventive lines, especially ventilation, and have,. therefore served their purpose." 1 humans as in our animais, we feel that A number of people from here motorâ€" ed to Cochrane on Friday evening, to attend the annual ball of the Cochâ€" rane Masonic Lodge. They reported that they had a very enjoyable time. Literary Society of the High School Hold Hallowe‘en Party A most successful and amusing party was held in the assembly hall of the school or Friday evening, October 29th. The party was put on by the Literary Society of the High School, for the whole High School.

Mr. Cushnie, principal, was dressed in a hardâ€"time costume: l Hallowe‘en * The transformation from children to bewitching faces and costumes took place on Hallowe‘en, and these wierdly clad children paid theirâ€"annual visit to the residents of Iroquois Falls and vicinity. These psople in turn forâ€" feited candy, peanuts, apples and treats _to try and bribe them from executing their evil threats of doing‘ tricks. The children were evidently well paid, for no serious tricks were reported. The usual displacement of garbage cans took place, and many householders were forced to go far and high to retrieve them. The children reported, while holding large bag of bounty under their arms, that the evening was a huge success. l Pat Walsh, our local weather foreâ€" caster, stated that the residents of Iroâ€" quois Falls would not have any cold weather till Christmas. Pat receives quite a lot of comments, for and against on his forecasts, but time usually reâ€" veals his prognostications: ~as nearly right.

It was hinted at this meeting that the Cubs will, this year, join the Junior Hockey League. If they should dupliâ€" cate their last year‘s victories, they certainly will be heads in hockey. Last year these boys showed their talent in playing hockey by winring all major games in the North, later going to Toâ€" ronto to taket he Juvenile Championâ€" ship of Ontario. Mr. F.
