Atack of the Dye and Chemical Compady of Canada was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club on Monday at noon at the Frontenac hotel in) which he stressed the important part that was being taken in the | advancement and progress of the | world by chemists. He dispelled the idea that chemists were to the fore only in times of war, and pointed out a few facts to show what had | been done by them in peace times. | Dr. Atack stated that many were | of the opinion that chemists did| their work during war time and in| the daily life of the world .they | were not as prominent. Many be- | lieved their work solely destructive | but he pointed out that many of the war time discoveries made by] chemists were being used in the| peaceful life of the world, using much the same chemical materials as those used for destructive pur- poses. He referred to the great ad- vances made by chemists along medical linés, drawing attention to the discoveries made in angesthetics by the chemists of _and France, which are now in everyday use in the medical profession. As a general rule, Dr. Atack said, the medical man calls for certain things and fit is the job of the chemist to supply thém 'to him. /; . Another important feature of the work of chemists was to supply new materials for those that had been over-used in manufacture and ft was through the work of the chem- ist that certain manufactures could be carried out. Before the war, re- sins were used extremely but in- stead of the materials being reduced, through the work of the chemists, substitutes were made. In the de- velopment of new steel, chemists played an important part and they found other materials that could be added to steel. Stainless steel was the result of chemical experiment A ke under certain conditions, but chemists had found certain materials and supplied them to steel which raised its quality to a great degree but did not make the cost excessive. Dr. Atack declared that civiliza- tion consisted in progress in ma- terials and methods to meet thu times, and that was where the chem- ists were assisting in no uncertain manner. In 1916 an effort was made in Manchester to bring out the dye in- dustry. One of the first jobs that faced the industry was the dyeing for the balloons, of fast colors This was one of the war-time uses of chemicals in making dyes for them so that they could not be seen a short distance up from the ground. The speaker said that the attitude towards the German chem- ists was quite the same now as be- fore the war. In spite of all the talk about the German chemists, it had been found that the discoveries were by French and Swiss chemists located in Germany, He told of the work of Bohan, an Alsacian, Sch- midt, a Frenchman, and Hass a citizen of Paris. The German chem- ists worked on a straight line and never turned back. The speaker went on to describe the work of the chemists in peace times, stating that they used much the same materials for peace time purposes as they had for war-time. These were the basis of medical and dyestuffs manufacture. Chemists have cheapened materials and have contributed much towards civili- saton's warfare. The speaker re- ferred to the chemical aid in the solving of the artificial silk prob- lem and stated that a large factory that had been erected for wartime purposes in the work of aeroplane waterproofing, was able to continue after the war and, using the same materials as had been used for war- time manufacture, turn out a pro- duct for peace time. The speaker stated that there was not an industry or business, which at some time or another was not af- tected by chemists. Every manufac- turer needed the advice of chemists it advances in Canada were to be made. Dr. Atack madé an urgent plea that Canadian chémists be kept In Canada so that théir brains and ability would be used for Can- ada's welfare. ' A hearty vote of thanks to the speaker was moved by Kiwanian Murdock Johnston and seconded by Kiwanian Harry Wilder. The winner of the boost, fifty tigarettes, was Kiwanian "Jack" Sutherland, who a short time ago won five hundred in the Kiwanis boost. Members of the local club will go | to Belleville on Friday to take part in the Belleville anniversary of Ki- wanls. A letter was received from Mrs, T.Q 4 head of the Girl Guides, announcing that Manager E. O.

The Capitol management will co-operate with the Guides through AT GENERAL HOSPITAL Nickle Wing to Be Remodelled | for Up-to-Date Matern- ity Hospital. | At a meeting of the building committee of the Kingston General | Hospital, held on Monday afternoon | with the chaifman of the committee | Mr. R. BE. Kent presiding, it was de-! cided that extensive work would be | undertaken at the hospital during | the summer months. | The Nickle wing, which for years] was used as an isolation hospital, is| going to be remodelled and will be | made into an up-to-date maternity hospital. The wing will be mads tire proot and will be one of the most up-to-date women's depart- ments in this part of the dominion. The Watkins' wing will also be re- modelled, and will be used as the administration department. The wards which at the present time are located in the Watkins building will be transferred to the new clinic building, and a number of semi- private rooms and private rooms will be constructed. The intérnes' quart- ers will also be placed in the Wat- kins building. The Doran bujlding at the pres- ent time used as the women's de- partment, will be vacated as soon as the Nickle building is completed and will then undergo some repairs for use as a nurses' home. At pres- 'ent the accommodation at the hospi- tal for the nurses. is taxed to the limit, and with the opening of a new clinic building more nurses will be needed. The plans of the work to be un- dertaken are in the hands of the committee, but the specifications have not been drawn up as yet. 3 | IN MARINE CIRCLES The steamer Lethbridge was port last night bound west with freight.

On April 15th, a man "down and out" called at the office of Mayor Thomas B. Angrove at the city hall. He was jst one of many of this class who called on His Worship during the day seeking help. "I think I could get a job all right if I could get to Toronto," said the one fellow who appeared to be doing all in his power to land a job, "and it I get the job I will pay you back the money for my railway fare to Toronto." Everybody knows that "Tom" Angrove has a big heart. He has been helping men and women ever since he has taken over the mayor's chair. He figured that it was a most deserving case, and he ar- ranged for railway transportation to Toronto for the man. On Tuesday morning, when Mayor Angrove opened his mail, he was letter from the fellow he had assist- ed on his way to Toronto, and en- closed in the letter was a crisp five dollar bill, with these words of re- | job on a boat, and I want' to pay you back for your kindness in help- ing me out." So this is just one instance who do not offer to pay back money for service rendered, but this case goes to show that there are people in the world who do appreciate a helping hand and are willing show their appreciation.
