W. Crom- bie and J. L. Blaisdell, will test , the effects of a new treatment for * silicosis in the Porcupine mining area of Northern Ontario. The investigations of research experts show that metallic alumi- - num prevents silicosis in animals. The inhalation of aluminum' dust "long pe- riods of time shows no effect on the general health of the animals and no damage to tissues. No animals whose lungs on analysis contained one per cent. or more of metallic aluminum showed any evidence of silicosis up to seyen- teen and a half months, in con- trast to well developed silicosis in the quartz control rabbits in seven months. .

While strictly non-military, in accordance with the principles of the organization, the service was of great practical value through- out the war. Indeed it is not too much to say that but for the or-. ~ made the Boy Scouts of 1914 im- mediately available, some of the . important' civilian activities inel- dental to the war would have movs ed at a slower pace. : 'In practically every city, town "and village, the Scouts were there, in troops or singly, to run mes- sages on wheel or afoot, to help at a refreshment booth, a bazaar, a fund-raising = entertainment; to usher at meetings, or wash dishes in a Red Cross kitchen, . Slee As the general war work devel- oped their activities broadened. They were 'used in connection with Victory Loan campaigns, and Red Cross, Y,M.C.A., and other patriotic-fund drives. They met troop trains, and acted as guides and messengers. Later they met the trains of returning sick and wounded, carried their luggage, and assisted in every way possible, ; --O-- At Halifax, Saint John, Quebec and Montreal, they met hospital ships. In the country districts they aided farmers whose farm - hands had joined up. Many city boys also did long weeks of farm labour, through the harvest or the fruit season, without pay, or turn- ed their earnings over to the Red Cross. --C---- & , The wives and families of soldi- ers overseas were logked after. One Toronto Troop, in addition to a large 'war earden of its own, planted and tended 15 gardens for the wives of soldiers.
