LEOPOLD ENDS EVIDENGE ON CONMONISH Says Communists Had Plans for Destruction of Present Economic Structure (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Nov. 5--Concluding a day and a half in the witness box, Sergt. John Leopold, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, finished his evidence in the trial of nine alleged Communist leaders shortly before noon today. Sergt. Leopold, as E. W, Essel- wain, for seven years had acted as secretary of the Regina Branch, Communist Party of Canada, he testified vesterday. Today he con- tinued his remarkable story. Much of this morning's testimony hinged around a letter written to "Comrade Esselwain" by Mathew Popovitch, one of the accused "Comrade FEsselwain recognized," the letter said, "the urgent need in Canada for a militant organiza- tion of workers to co-ordinate and carry to a successful culmination various struggles for the over-throw of the capitalist system and estab- lishment of the workers republic." Such a party had already been es- tablished, it said. Hugh John MacDonald, defense counsel, cross-examined the witness briefly, In reply to a question, he said he had made a close study of the Com- munist movement, and had read many text books on the subject. The destruction of the present economic system was necessary, he said, because the Communists felt that theoretically "one must destroy before one can rebuild." 1S. FRM TO MAKE SYNTHETIC RUBBER Commercial Possibilities of New Product Fully Established Akron, O. -- Production of a new synthetic rubber, possessing several gualities not contained in natural rubber, was announced recently by officials of the E. I. Du 'Pont De Nemours Company at a meeting of the American Chemical Society's rubber divi- sion, The primary raw material for the new rubber 1s acetylene, which requires for its production only coal and limestone, chemists exrlained. Commercial possinfli- ties of the product have been es- tatlished so definitely that the Du Pont Company already has started building a plant at Deep- water, N.J., for tis manufacture on a commercial scale. The only other raw materials needed, in addition to coal and limestone, are salt and water, it wae sald, and all of these mater- fulg are available in unlimited auantities, Announcement of the discovery was made in highlv technical pa- nore presented at the meeting by I. B. Downing, W, H, Carothers and Ira Willlams, each represent- ing a group of chemists in the ex- rerimental work. More than a score of chemists worked several years perfecting rhe ruhber. The new product has many commercially valuahle qualities, recording to chemists, which will supplement the present uses of natural rubber. It cannot. as vet, be substituted for natural riabber in its wider ranges of everyday use, though those who have been active in its develop- ment feel that further effort may eniarge its field of nsefnlness, Among the valnable properties WANTS COUNGIL T0 VISIT PLANT Official of Company Mak- ing Sewage Disposal Plants Makes Suggestion G. W. Clarke, of Niagara Falls, Ont., vice-president of the San- Dis Engineering Company, which recommends a mechanical system of sewage disposal as suitable for this city, is firmly convinced that if representatives of the Oshawa City Council saw the Sudbury plant in operation they would be convinced as to the efficiency of this system. Mr. Clarke, speaking to The Times this morning, stated 'the burning of sludge screénings is not being accomplished by any- body but ourselves, and by no- body's method but ours, that is the reason it is so hard to con- vince people of the efficiency of the system when they have never seen it done. "I believe that if a small com- mittee of your City Council took the time to go to Sudbury, and see the plant which we have re. cently constructed there in opera- tion, then there would he no ques- tion at all as to its efficiency. We are willing to stand or fall on that. "We had four prominent. engi- neers from Westchester county visit Sudbury, and their report was to the effect that the Sudbury plant is 'one step ahead of any- thing we have ever geen.' Pretty strong words," sald Mr. Clarke, who left Oshawa for Toronto this morning after advocating his sug- gestion of a visit to Sudbury in interviews with several members of the council. ee ee een, RATE OF MATERNAL MORTALITY IN PALESTINE DROPS Zionist Organizations Have Done Splendid Work in Saving Mothers Toronto, Ont. -- "Since the Lealing work of the Hadassah woman of Canada and the United States was carried into Palestine some 13 years ago the maternal mortality rate of that country nas dropped to 20 per cent, or is 80 per cent, less than it was former- ly; while the decrease in child mortality has been even greater," according to Rabbi Samuel Sachs. As a result of the better health activities initiated by the Hadas- sah women other Zionist organi- zations have co-operated, until today malaria, has been almost entirely stamped out, the dread- ed eye disease, trachoma, is rap- idly disappearing, hygenic and sanitation reforms have been in- augurated, hospital facilities, equipment and accommodation increased, pre-natal and post- natal care has been oxtended, day nurseries established and dispen- saries operated, which last year ministered to ailments of 55,000 reople---Christians, Jews and Arabs being treated indiscrimin- ately. A judge and a barrister were discussing the doctrine. of the transmigration of the souls of men into animals, "Now," said the judge, 'suppose you and I were turned into a horse and an ass, which would you prefer to be?" "The ass, to be sure!" re- plied the bassister, "Why?" asked the judge. "Because," was the re- ply, "I have heard of an ass be- ing a judge, but of a horse-- i attributed to the development is | the fact that it is much more re. i «irtant to the swelling action of raeoline, kerosene and other sdl- | vents which are notoriously | "harmful to rubber.

This latex is a mi k-like lignid consisting of par- ticles of fully vulcanized syn- thetic rubber suspended in water. Upon driying a sheet of fully vul- canized rubber is obtained. An X-ray diagram of the new synthetic rubber has disclosed that it has the same type of molecular structure as natural rubber. In this the Du Pont dis- covery differs from all other syn- thetie rubbers that have been pro- duced, OTTAWA WOMAN IS GIVEN HIGH HONOR Done Valuable Work in Plant Origination Toronto, Ont. -- The Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society, one of the oldest and best known horticultural societies in Ameri: ca, with headquarters at Boston, has just announced that the large gold medal of the society has heen awarded to Miss Isabella I'reston, Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, Canada, says the Mail and Eupire. For the past nine years Miss Preston has occupied the posi- tion of specialist in ornamental gardening in the Horticultural Division at Ottawa, and, during that time, has done much valu- able work in originating new riants. Her breeding of new var- ieties of lilies has attracted wide attention, Before coming to Ot- tawa, she had originated the George C. Creelman lily, and an- other of her hybrids, raised at Ottawa has heen named Lilium Davmottiae (L. Davidii x L. Will- mottiae). This lily has created very favorable comment, and in England has received an award from the Royal Horticultural So- clety. Many other lily seedlings, as a result of her work, are be- ing tested. Miss Preston has published a book called "Garden Lilies," which has proved very popular, A --------" Among the stories of the Rev. Dr. Parker, of the City Temple, London, is the following: On one occasion a leading weekly reviéw had printed a rath- er severe article on Dr, Parker and his preaching methods, under the heading, "Beauty and the Beast." At the following Thurs- Dr, Parker said: "A scribe has been pleased to satirise me and my wife as 'Beauty and the Beast." (Those who know the doctor's shaggy ap- pearance will appreciate the re- mark.) The doctor went on, turning towards the choir, where his wife sat: "I put it to you, what must be the execrable taste of the man who could describe that beautiful lady as a beast?" Mr. J.: "My dear, this book is a remarkable work. Nature is mar- velous! Stupendous! When I read a book like this, it makes me think how lowly, how insignifi« cant is man." ; Mrs. J.: 'A woman doesn't have to wade through four hun- never!" ldred pages to discover that!" Miss Isabella Preston Has day service in the City Temple,' FIRST WOMAN T0 GET ARTS DEGREE Miss Harriet Stewart Dies at Age of 89 Regina, Sask. -- Pioneer wom- an university graduate of Canada and the first woman in the Bri- tish Empire to be awarded an arts degree, Miss Harriet Stew- art. 89 died recently after an ill- ness of five years. She had been living at the home of her bro- ther, Charles D. Stewart, Regina. She was a graduate of Mount Allson University, Sackville, N.B. Miss Stewart was a charter member of one of the earliest wo- men's Christian Temperance Unions in Canada and an active supporter of the Woman's Mis- siorary Society of the United Church, the Bible Society and ctber benevolent and philanthro- pic organizations. She was a former editor of the Palm Branch, one of the publications of the Methodist church. Funeral services were held In Metropolitan United Church. In- terment was made in Sackville, NB. Miss Stewart was born in 1862 in Lunenburg, N.8. She was one of four children of Rev. Charles Stewart, D.D., and moved with her family to Sackville at an ear- ly age, finishing her high school course in 1878. While Mount Allison had al- ways admitted women to its classes, up to that time no women undergraduates had heen enroll- ed. Miss Stewart entered her +rts course in 1878, obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1882 and a Master of Arts degree in 1854, UNDERSEA SEARGH FOR GOLD HALTED Work on Sunken Ship Postponed Until Next Spring Brest, France.~Winter, and the icy currents sweeping around the sunken hulk of the treasure ship, Egypt, recently defeated efforts of the Italian gold-hunters to wrest $5,000,000 in ingots and soverigns from the Egypt's strong box, and their salvage ship Artiglio return- ed to. Brest, probably for the rest of the season. With a single steel plate an inch thick all that separates the treasure seckers from the gold, it was believ- ed that further work would have to be abandoned until spring. A sud- den storm swept down on the Ar- tiglio driving the ship to port. Divers have now blasted their way through several decks to the strong room in the heart of the wreck, They also discovered papers corroborating their belief that the $5,000,000 will be found intact, and that their efforts will therefore be sufficiently rewarded if they can tear through the last barrier to reach the bullion, For that reason, the Artiglio pro- bably will return to the treasure hunt next May, when the Bay of Biscay calms down. For the next few months the bay will be whipped bv winter storms which are partic- ularly furious over the very spot vhere the Egypt lies, 70 fathoms down. The Egypt, a Peninsular and Orient ship, went down in 1922 in a fog, while she was conveying her cargo of gold and silver to India. Ninety-six lives were lost. For some time the wreck could not be found. Month: of searching finally ended in discovery of the vessel, so deep that salvage work was considered almost impossible. Perfection of new diving aparatus, however, stim- ulated an Italian company to make the attempt, and for months, work- ing a few hours at a time divers have been clearing away the superstructure and slowly cutting their way towards the steel-lined room containing the ingots. The present Artiglio is a succes- sor to the original tug of the same name which worked on the wreck from 1529 to December, 1930, when apremature explosion of dynamite blew the craft to bits, killing 12 men of the crew of 19, OLDEST FORAGE PLANT While alfalfa is one of the oldest fodder plants there is at present no plant known which can compete with it in nutritive value and general importance for feeding according to the manual of Fodder and Pasture Plants prepared by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, It fs relished by all kinds of stock which eat it, and alfalfa exceeds even red clover in nutritive value and protein content, The feeding value of alfalfa was recognized in Persia long before the Christ- ian era, and it was highly esteem- ed by the Arabs, It is believed to have originated in Asia prob- ably in the south-western parts; certainly it has been grown in Persia from time immemorial and is perhaps the oldest forage plant in the world, It was brought into Greece about 500 B.C. and from these spread to Italy. It came to Western Europe by way of Northern Africa, the Arabs carrying it into Spain in the seventh century and from there it found its way into France. It was introduced into Mexico by the Spaniards whence it spread to the United States and South America, while Eng- lish and other colonist intro- duced it in the eastern parts of North America, Its popularity as a fodder crop is justly earned and its use is rapidly expanding throughout Canada.
