In the arts its : sundry applications are legion. It enters into the composition of an al most endless variety of articles a'l the way from shoe polishes to radio pants; it has extensive use in the production of all kinds of waterproof and glazed papers; it makes adhesives of the very best type for aircraft and wood- working; and is a constituent of near- ly all the cold-water paints most fre- quently used in many countries. It is especially to the manufacture of a con- stantly growing number of commodi- {ties for which Canada is at present | largely dependent upon outside sources that casein lends itself, for it has na- tural properties not easily found in any other so readily and cheaply ob- tainable product. The manufacture of numerous plastics that serw. as substi- tutes for such materials are horn, celluloid, bone, ivory, ebony, amber, Chinese jade, lapis lazuli and tor- tolse shell is now an important indus- try in many parts of Europe | The industry has never been thor- | oughly developed in Canada and this country imports about half a million | pounds of casein annually largely from Argentina, although it would {appear as if some day the dairy organ- izations of Canada will realize the in- { dustrial possibilities of making "jewel- ry" from their by-products. -- Matchmaking Gossip About | Visit of Royalties to London |" "The_ visits of foreign royalty, which | will be common in London this sum- mer, have given those Inclined to | matchmaking at least three royal sub- (jects of speculation, in which. the | Prince of Wale§ and 'his brother, | Prince (George, play prominent parts.
