A keen student politics in his earlier days, and gifted with ready speech and pen, he could have entered Parliament without dif- ficulty, and helped to make town planning laws. malin outside of Parliament and bend his enérgies towards building new | pnd remodeling old towns. When the Garden City Association was founded in 1900, Mr. Adams was appointed its secretary. As a result of an extensive survey of numerous estates he ,was able to recommend the Letchworth site for England's first garden city, and when that notable sociological experiment was get on foot he became its secretary- manager. On leaving Letchworth Mr. Adams practiced -privately as a town plan- ning surveyor. He laid out and man- aged large estates for the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Lytton, Sir ichard Paget and others of Eng- land'a largest landowners During the -ussion of the firet Town Plan- nir Act he was busily employed preparing briefs for members of both Houses of Parliament. An outcome of the Garden City movement was the appointment of Mr. Adams as town planning expert to the Local: Government Board 'of England and Wales. In this capacity he held nearly one hundred enquiries regarding schemes for town planning and prepared plans for garden cities in many places. In 1914 Mr. Adams paid a second visit to Canada, attending the City Planning Conference held in Toronto that year. His grasp of the subject was such that when it was decided to appoint a Government town plan- ning adviser, Mr. Adams was offered the position. It was a temporary ap- pointment with no financial benefit, but it as a unique opportunity to gain new experience in a developing country that Mr. Adams was unable to turn down. When the appointment was made the i= glish "Town Plan- ning Review' congratulated Canada ' on ' 'decoying" Mr. Adams out of his own country. It confessed to "a cer- tain resentment towards Canada for having robbed us of the man who is justly looked up to as the head of the profession in this country." Since 'coming to Canada, Mr. Adams has been in constant consul- tation with all legislation which is now in force practically all over the Dominion. He has laid out schemes for several cities and towns, including the new town of Kipawa, Que.,, on Lake Temiskaming.

"It is not surprising, In the light of past experiments, that relief to the present paper situation should come from such a source. Fibre suitable for paper making has been produced from a number of plants, among them corn and cotton stalks. The pulp from these sources has been made only on a laboratory scale, hpwever, because two chief difficul- ties stood in the way of commercial exploitation of the process, In the first place there is not a sufficient supply of any one material, and it is too expensive to gather corn or cotton stalks from a wide area. The second, and perhaps the most im- portant, difficulty is that, because the material is not compact, only a small amount can be placed in the pulp 'digester' at one time, making the production very expensive." ee Marine Disasters During 1920.
