SCIENTISTS DISCUSS
ATOM AND |NSU[|N
Nature of Latter Substance
Not to Be Fully Known Un-
til Produced Pure.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO. August 13.-Discussions
Of the chemistry of insulin and of the
disintegration of the atom. followed
by a garden party at Government
House the residence of the lieutenant
governor of Ontario, comprised yes
terday's program of the British As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science, assembled in convention
here.
Data concerning insulin was given
by DIR. p j. Moloney, DR.. y. NJ. Find
lay and c. H. Best of the University of
Toronto and DR.. L. c. Albritton of
Ohio State University. The Toronto
scientists stated that insulin has not
yet been prepared as chemically
pure substance, although it has
proven entirely satisfactory from the
patients viewpoint. They said the
nature of insulin would not be fully
known until it had been produced in
pure form.
Lack Atomic Inform alton.
Sir Ernest Rutherford, noted physi-
cist. said that the disintegration of
the atom is a subject on which sci
entists had the least information. He
added that with the correlation of
other forces and information CLEANED
from the stars, mastery of the nu-
y
Prof. c. r. Fay of the University of
Toronto refuted arguments to the eff
feet that the earth will eventually
become so closely populated that the
human race will face condition of
famine, in at least some countries, or
be placed on system of restricted
food supply.
Col. H. D. Savage, Toronto fuel en-
gineer, in addressing the chemists.
said the time will come when all coal
will be distilled at low temperature.
SO that all the valuable compounds
may be saved. 1t was criminal, he
argued, under present-day conditions,
to burn raw coal in furnaces and
waste the distillates contained in it.
Althogh there are in the United
States 165,000,000 acres of National,
State and other publicly owned forests.
four-fifthS of the forest area of the
country are privately owned, J. w.
Tourney, dean of the Forest School of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, told the scientists today.
Consequently the problem of forest
conservation is not one that technical
experts alone can solve, since final de-
cision as to forestry policies rests
with private land owners, said Mr.
Tourney. The trend toward public
acquisition of more forests and the
public attitude to taxation do not in
dicate that the solution lies in public
control, he added.
"All the forest land must be inten-
| sively managed for continuous yield
before the annual growth will approach
our present annual consumption" he
said.
When a persons does bodily exercise
he gives off more carbon dioxide than
when he sits still and uses his brain3
Prof. G. H. Parker of Howard Univer-
sity, Washington. d. c., pointed out.
He said the amount of energy con-
sumed in mental work could not be
determined accurately, but that re-
searches had given some evidence by
showing the carbon dioxide thrown of
by various nerves in animals.

In Old Coast Guard Boat.
The motor was installed in an old
Coast Guard boat, formerly the

been engaged in anchorage and buoy
service at Charleston. S. c. This YES

With high officials of the Coast
Guard and the Navy the trial boat
went down the river and was put
through many different kinds of tests.
When it had been determined ID

was found that no reverse gear on
the market would meet the test that
the Coast Guard set up for it's new
engines, because of overheatinR when
reversed for an extended period. The
reverse gear on the new engine can be
run full power for an indefinite period.
Cylinder Construction.
The cylinder block consists of
rectangular cast iron tank, in which
are inserted the culinder liners. The
grinding" of these cylinders is,
therefore, accomplished by the inser-
ton of new liners
One of the improvements invented
by Coast Guard engineers is the si-
lencer to deaden the sound of the
powerful motor exhaust. 1t has been
so constructed that the cooling sea
water used to keep down the tenn
perature of the motor finds an outlet
through the exhaust. The motor had
been given full power trials at the
factory before being taken to the
Coast Guard depot at Curtis Bay,
Md, where it was installed in the old
A. & b. 5.
Officials estimate that a speed of
more than Is knots was made by the
single motor in the old Coast Guard
boat yesterday.

but was finally relieved from duty on
July II. 1921. I did not receive a
$50 bonus. Am ! entitled to it? If

a. You are entitled to the $50
bonus if you were hcnorably separated
from the service. and if you are not
retired or eligible for retirement.
Officers or men retired are not
entitled to it, Write a letter to the
Paymaster, Headquarters. United

@. Please help me by answering
the following question? / am an
ex-service man in need of hospital
care and treatment. Is it possible
for me to go to any hospital under
the new law of Congress and receive
the treatment which l need
Thanks.-J. II. NJ.
a. You may be entitled to hos
pital care and treatment on account
of a disability due to war service and
in that event you should apply Tor
compensation at the nearest office OF
the Veterans Bureau. Generally
speaking, you are not entitled to hos
pital care and treatment unless you
are compensate or unless your
disability is traceable to the service
which you rendered. To be entitled
to compensation and hospital care
and treatment your disability must
not be due to your own willful mis-
conduct. The best thing for you to
do is go to the nearest veterans
Bureau office and fill out form 526,
which is an application for COM
penSatiOn.
O. VIII you please tell me when
my adjustment of compensation
starts? If the certificates are not
issued before January l, 1925, then
we do not receive anything from the
date of discharge to January l, 1928.
1t seems to me that the certificates
should be dated as of the day the
soldier was separated from the
service How about that long wait
Of FIVE or six years? ] think we
ought to be paid for it.-L 0.
A. Your certificate will not be
dated before January 1, 1925. 1t is a
big undertaking to act upon 5,OO0,O0U
applications for adjusted compensa
ton, and the law intended that each

have been fair to date the certificates

FINANCING OF THE PUB

Comparison of State School Tax

An exhaustive study has recently
been made concerning how far the

the public schools of Garrett county,
The results given herewith are for
the year 1928 and show that the State
is gradually increasing its financial
support for our schools and this in
crease of State aid will grow much
more rapidly during the present and
the coming three years, for which the
General Assembly is now completing
the financial plans for the schools as
