| ---- ALLEN "Why Girls Leave Home' WILL UNION | JACK CHANGE? Owing to New Irish Status-- Work For Heraldry Fx- pers. Ottawa, Jan. 11.--Creation of the Irish Free State is giving heraldry ! experts in the capital an opportunity | to conjecture as to possible changes | in the national flag and the Canad- | lan coat of arms should authorities demand the removal of the cross of Si. Patrick, which is superimposed upon the Crosses of +8t. George and St. Andrew in the Union Jack. Possible changes in the Union Jack because of action by the Irish government will be of special inter- est to Canada owing to the fact that the new Canadian coat of arms has but recently been approved by ts | Imperial Privy Council. Should al change become necessary, the new coat of arms will undoubtedly havo | to be readjusted to meet the situa- tion. Whether or not the department of external affairs, of which Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King is the minister, hes yet taken the maiter up officlal- i ly could not be ascertained, but it | is understood that nothing will be done here unth the Imperia: gov- ernment in London signifies its in- tentions. The Canadian flag and arms will, of course, have to be made to conform with that approved by the British government. Another feature of the problem is that it will undoubtedly again give cause for a great deal of discussion on the advis- ability and feasibility of the creation of a distinctively Canadaian ensign. With regard to the latter feature in any possible change, it is felt in well informed circles in Ottawa that even & special flag emblematic of Canada would have to contain the Union Jack, and that, therefore, and at- tempt toward securing a Canadian flag would also involve study and adaption of] possible changes through Irish action.

"Fully 350,000,000 feet of pine re cut each year, a hundred mil- lion more than is replaced by natur- al growth. At this rate ih thirty-five years the virgin forests will be fin- ished. The remedy is to grow trees, 80 as to replace wastage. "Trees grow and can _be replaced like a crop of corn. our forest wealth wisely is not to hold large areas untouched, but to take stock of our resources and to replace wastage by new growth." A proper enquiry of the forest sit- uation was now being made. It would be completed and then would be the time to take such vigorous action as was needed. A new forestry station had been started last year at Prince Edward county and other places should do the same thing. Such counties needed these sta- tions and, public opinion should be influenced in this respect. The planting of highways and the plant- Ing of shelter huts were also ad- visable. Dan.
