J. Moloney, Dr. D. M. Find- lay and C. H. Best of the University of Toronto and Dr. E. C. Albritton of Ohio State Univers The Toronto scientists stated that insulin has not yet been prepared as a chemically pure substance, although it has proven entirely satisfactory from the patients’ viewpoint. They said the nature of insulin would not be fully known until it had been produced in pure form. Lack Atomic Information. Sir Ernest Rutherford, noted physi- cist, said that the disintegration of the atom is a subject on which sci- entists had the least information. He added that with the correlation of other forces and information gleaned from the stars, mastery of the nu- cleus might yet be attained. Prof. C. R. Fay of the University of Toronto refuted arguments to the ef- fect that the ecarth will eventually become so closely populated that the human race will face a condition of famine, in at least some countrie or be placed on a system of restricted food supply Col. H. D. Savage, Toronto fuel en- gineer, in addressing the chemists, said the time will come when all coal will be distilled at low temperature. that all the valuable compounds may be saved. It was criminal, he argued, under present-day conditions, to burn raw coal in furnaces and waste the distillates contained in it. Althogh there are in the United States 165,000,000 acres of National, State and other publicly owned forests, four-fifths of the forest area of the country are privately owned, J. W. Toumey, dean of the Forest School of the United States Department of Agri- culture, told the scientists today. Consequently, the problem of forest conservation is not one that technical experts alone can solve, since final de- cision as to forestry policies rests with private land owners, said Mr. Toumey. The trend toward public acquisition -of more forests and the public attitude to taxation do not in- dicate that the solution lies in public control, he added. “All ‘the forest land must be inten- sively managed for continuous. yield before the annual growth will approach our present annual consumption,” he said.

Kadel & Herbert ‘RUM-CHASE ENGINE GIVEN 0. K. IN TEST High Officials of Coast Guard and Navy See Try-Out of New Motor Here. Uncle Sam's first new rum-chasinz marine engine. of the type developed for the Government's war on smug- | glers all along the coast line | terday received the official approval | of Unitea States Coast Guard and naval officers in a formal test dowr the Potomac River. Built for long-distance cruising the open sea. and for dashes of spead | against smugglers of liquor. aliens and narcotics, the new motor in its | trial before officials vesterday met | with enthusiastic_approval Rear Admiral F. C. Billard, com- mandant of the United States Co Guard, and Rear Admiral J | Robison, engiineer-in-chief of the United States Navy, accompanied by other officers of the two sea-going services, including Lieut. Comdr. S. S Yeandle, United States Coast Guard | Lieut. Wells, United States Navy Lieut. Heiner, United States Coast Guard, and technical observers, put out from the fish wharf about o'clock yesterday afternoon and wit nessed a severe test of the new 200 horsepower engine. In Old Coast Guard Doat. The motor was installed in an old oast Guard boat, formerly thr A and B 5, which for some time had been engaged in anchorage and buoy service at Charleston, S. C. This ves- sel has been brought to Washington and will run out of Washington on a number of hard tests to determine if any weak points develop in its struc- ture anywhere. Contract has already been let to the Sterling Engine Company of Buffalo N. Y., which has a technical repre- sentative on board the A. & B. 5 here, for construction of these | engines, for 178 boats, two engines to a boat. This construction is under- s5tood now to be under way. With high officials of the Coast Guard and the Navy the trial boat went down the river and was put through many different kinds of tests. When it had been determined launch the new war on smugglers,c was found that no reverse gear on the market would meet the test that the Coast Guard set up for its new engines, because of overheating when reversed for an extended period. The reverse gear on the new engine can be run full power for an indefinite period Cylinder Construction. The cylinder block consists of u rectangular cast iron tank, in which are inserted the culinder liners. The “grinding” of these cylinders is therefore, accomplished by the inser- tion of new [iners. One of the improvements invented by Coast Guard engineers is the lencer to deaden the sound of the powerful motor exhaust. It has been so constructed that the cooling sea water used to keep down the tem- perature of the motor finds an outlet through the exhaust. The motor had been given full power trials at the factory before being taken to the Coast Guard depot at Curtis Bay Md., where it was installed in the oid A. & B. 5. Officials estimate that a speed of more than 13 knots was made by the single motor in the old Coast Guard boat vesterday. Movie Actress Seeks Divorce.
