Benefactor of Friendless Girls Became Wife Montreal, May 21 = An English periodical pays a tribute to Mrs. Ada Travers Lewis, who died m England a few weeks ago at the age of 91. Mrs. Lewis was thewid- ow of the Most Rev. Dr. John "I'ia- vers Lewis, Archbishop of Oniaric, and Metropolis of Canada. Ii was Dr. Lewis who suggested ti first Lambeth Conference, 1860-07. Says the "Children's Newspaper' London): "A brave friend to the vr A has just passed out of this world. She was Mrs. Ada Travers Lewis, who founded the Ada Leigh hostels in Paris.

Daring Ada Leigh started at it with wide-open eyes, and started to make 1 beter iriends thought it unwise, her sis- ters called it rather questionable, and even the good Lord Shaftes- bury warned her not to be too ven- turesome. But she went on, and in the end her work was applauded by King Edward and the Britisii and American Ambassadors. Ada Leigh, who was a well-to- do young English girl finishing her education abroad, went one day to buy gloves, and was served by an Englishwoman. A friendly question drew from the shop assntunt a wretched tale. No one cared what became of her. On Sunday mornings she was turned out of her living uarters and not allowed to return till nightfall. No food was provided on those days. She said many other Englishwomen were in the same plight. If they fell out of work or were in any trouble there was no one to champion the nursery gov- erness or shop assisttant trying to carn her living in a foreign land. "Some women would merely have felt 'sorry, by Ada Leigh took a room in the Rue St. Honore and made it a Sunday refuge for such girls. She conducted a Bible class, and made friends with them all Soon she learned that many a gisl would be saved from despair if there was a properly-run home where she could get ciicap lod- ging. "If you will start a home" said one 'poor exile, "I will give you a franc." "She accepted the challange and the franc, Soon after the first hos- tel was open, and quickly nlled, ' it was not she was told that she must close | it within three days.

P.)=--The threat of a serious milit- ary movement against the Govern- ment at Nanking is in the imposi- tion of a drastic censorship on all press dispatches. Coincident with the closing ci the National Peoples' Party convention, the censorship was ordered on radiv and cable messages to the United States and elsewhere, indicating that Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the Nanking Government was preparing for strong measures in defence of the Government against the rebel lious movement which started at Canton recently. A warning that civil war in China must be avoided or the nation will fall under Bolshevik control within three ycars was given yesterday by Sun Fo, Minister of Railroads and son of the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, Sun Fo made public throigh the Kuo Min News agency, telegrams he had sent to Chiang Kai-Shek, and to the leaders of the rebeilious movement in Canton, where mili- tary operations against Chiang's re- gime have been organized. ie an- nounced he will go to Nanking soon to try to bring about peaceful solu- tion of the present threats of civil war. Meanwhile, the National Party conyention at Nanking passea a r=- solution warning the Canton lead- ers to preserve peace and unity of the nation, Dispatches from Canton said the military forces there had attacked the Whampoa rebel forces..The re- giment at Shekpai, near Canton. was said to have been disarmed.

Trained to perfection, well cundi- tioned and backed by cheering on- lookers camped all the way from Angels camp to Murphy's flat, Bud- weiser strained those great legs that would make an epicure's mout water, to repeat his victory won in 1928. That year he defeated a much smaller field. This year he faced the competition of 150 others. It was a great race. Four inches behind Budweiser came Puddle Jumper, owned by John Deecheniu, of Oakdale, Cal, Puddle Jumper mandged to leap 11 feet one inch, while Joe placed third with a leap of 10 feet six inches. Joe Cesa, of Antioch, Cal.,, owns Joe. Money changed hands quickly among the 20,000 persons who jatz- med Angels camp for the celebias tion. The town's onc hotel was packed to the rarters.

ACGIDENTS SEEN AS INEFFICIENCY H. W. Heinrich Addresses Industrial Safety Con. ference Today Montreal, May 29--The real caus- es of accidents are likewise the real causes of decreases in efficiency, production and profits, and denote conditions that are morally and ec- onomically improper, according to H. W. Heinrich, who addressed the inaugural luncheon of the third an- nual Industrial Safety Conference in the Mount Royal Hotel yesterday at noon. The subject of his talk was "The Cost of Industrial Acci- dents to the Province, the Employer and the Worker." The meeting was held' under the joint chairmanship of George A. Savoy, president of the Quebec Division of the C.M.A. and of the Safety League, and Allan M. Mit- chell, chairman of the Montreal branch, C.M.A.,, and of industrial section of the Safety League. Hon. Senator Beaubien, was guest ol honor. The costs of industrial accidents, said Mr. Heinrich, are so high that careful consideration of the reasons for the occurrence of such accidents and of ways and means to reduce them has become a responsibility not only of industry, but of all branches of society that are cone cerned. In his opinion the cost of industrial accidents, passed along 10 individual consumers, tends to lowe er the standard of living. Mr, Heinrich's studies have indie cated that there are approximately 29 minor injuries for each serivus injury suffered in industrial accis dents, and that there are in addition 300 other accidents for every serie ous injury' which do not result in human suffering. In view of the fact that there are 330 accidents which produce only one minor injury and 29 minor ine juries, it should be, obvious accord ing to Mr, Heinrich, that presents day accident prevention work is misdirected, because it is based largely upon the analysis of one minor, injury, the 29 minor injuries being seldom analyized and the other occurrences to a gheat extent ignored. By concentrating upon prevention of accidents rather than injuries, and through recognition of the fact that no accident, whether or not it results in an injury, is too insignifi- cant to receive consideration, a suc- cessful attack may be launched, ac- cording to Mr, Heinrich, against a problem that has become une of tie most serious that "ever confronted executives of industry, HORSE MEAT I SENT T0 FRANCE C.N.R.

At first these blisters are covered by a delicate peel, which soon rup- tures and frees the minute propa- gating organs, the spores, of the Blister Rust Fungus, These spores, appearing to us as an orange col- oured dust, are produced by the mil- lion in each blister and if an infect ed limb or tree is struck smartly, for these blisters are particularly destructive to the young pine tree, a dust cloud will be raised. During windy weather the spore clouds are carried for long distances, and when dispersed the only sign that remains 1s a patch of roughened dead bark, which when girdling a trunk or limb soon causes the aftec- ted part to turn red and dic. What happens to the dispersed spose dust? Usually fungus spores ime mediately and directly atfect other hosts or plants of the same kind; not so, however, with Blister Rust, This fungus is abolutely dependent ypon intermediary host plants, which are provided by -a number of species of wild currants and goose- berries, as well as the cultivated garden black currant, which unfor- tunately is the species preterred by the fungus for its most successful and J{Stife perpetuation. The spor- es of the Blister Rust from the pin- es eventually settle upon the leaves of these secondary hosts where they germinate and produce a typi- cal leaf rust. On these bushcs the fungus grows vigorously from lear to leaf, shrub to shrub, over wide areas until in fall a new form of spores is produced which only grow on pines, infecting them through a 300 | cluster of leaves. It should be noted that in white pine there are five leaves or needles to the cluster, and that all species of pines having five leaves in the ciuster are subject to this Blister Rust, whereas pines with only two or three leaves in a cluster are per- fectly immune, The orange clusters appear three years after an infection has taken place. The researches conducted in the plant pathological laboratories of the Division of Botany of the Experimental Farms have confirmed the correctness of what may ap- pear even the unanimated, viz; that the control of White Pine Blister plete extermination of the wild cure rants or gooseberries and the. culti- vated garden variety of black cur- rants within a couiparatively small distanc feet--of a pine grove or stand which it is desirable to protect. The blister rust does net spread from pine to pine; secondary hosts ure absolutely necessary. If these are removed and burnt up, or, in the woods, hung up with their roots in the air so that they will dry up, further pine infections will be absolutely prevented. Affected ornamental trees may then be treat- ed by cutting out the affected limbs or stem cankers to the sound wood, white pines without a doubt unless everyone co-operates in a campaign of extermination of the gooseber- ries or currants within the distance mentioned.
