A RTAUR D. LITTLE

Arthur D. Little, of Boston, has undertaken to be master magician
 and chief alchemist for the Canada ms. His job is not cnly to make
 geld out of lead but to transform
 dump heaps and refuse into neces- .saries of life. Lord Shaughnessy, President of the Canadian Pacific, has made many plans for develop ment of Canada after the war and to help put these plans into effect he engaged the service of one of the best chemists in the United States.
 Thus far the Research Bureau of the Canadian Pacific, of which Ar lhur D. Little is the head, has been merely mobilizing the resources of Canada. A vast amount of data has Seen collected bearing on what the country possesses industrially. agri-
New Britain herald., 1916-11-04

Arthur D. Little, magician, now shows how flax straw taken from the farmer at $500 ton and trans formed into paper at an expense of S11.OO will sell for S300.00 ton, gtv- ing a net profit of $28e.O0. Before the war Germany used to sell about S8OO.OOO worth of toys to the Can- adians. As a result of this activity the Canadian market for German, toys is cut to nothing. These Can-{ adian-made toys took first prize at the Quebec Exposition this year.
 This is not as far as the chief alchemist has gone, however. for he and his co-workers are still research ing on a ten-hour day basis expect ing to do so as long as there is any thing to look for, and Lord shaugh- messy expects to back them to Canada helps the Canadian Pacific.

culturally, and in natural re- sources. This information has been gathered not for the Canadian Pa cific's uses only, but for any one who applies. Little has already shown Western Canadians how few of their raw materials can be used. He has shown how to make excellent profits out of flax straw; how to get gasoline out of natural gas; how to get alcnhol from sawdust and fatten hogs on rhe by-product; how to make toys and novelties, formerly import ed from Germany, without much in- vestment beyond ingenuity and elbow grease, and finally he is about to show them how to make practical household fuel, building boards and paper out of wheat straw. Flax and wheat straw besides being waste to the farmer heretofore often proved to be an expense.
