(By Associated Press) MONTREAL, Jan. 23.—Femin ists of the Province of Quebec hail as a victory for their cause the ap pointment of two women as com missioners of the Superior Court for the judicial districts of Montreal. The ruling is described as the first s$ep toward admitting women to the Bar of the Province-,-, for whico a battle has been waged for many years in the Legislature. The first women to be named commissioner are Gertrude Sheridan and Gertrude Doyle, public steno graphers. The powers confered by their appointment include the right to receive within the judicial district of Montreal affadavits which may be used in any court in any district of the province. The women’s petition for com missionership was rejected by Jus tice Campbell Lane when first pre sented to Superior court here. The judge took the ground that there was no precedent for appointing wo-1 men, and he declined to create one. A few days later the petition was presented again, this time to Mr. Justice MacLennan, who granted jt at once. Every session of the provincial Legislature for many years has seen the introduction of a bill to extend to women the right to engage in the practice of law in the province. The measure has always been defeated by large majorities. Women in Que bes enjoy the franchise in Cana dian federal affairs, but may not vote in provincial elections.

LUMBER WASTE IS NOW MADE INTO VALUABLE FUEL Carbonized and Pressed lum ber Waste almost equals Anthracite STUMPS, LIMBS, CHIPS AND SAWDUST SAVED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Utili zation of immense waste from lum ber by carbonizing and pressing it into fuel bricquettes equal in value almost to anthracite, has been ac complished in sawmills in the Pac ific Northwest, according to an an nouncement of the National Lumber Association. The process, which is said tohave been perfected after a year’s expeii mentation, is declared to be an epo chal advance in eliminating waste in converting standing trees into useful boards, and will be an im portant factor in supplying a valu able fuel to take the place of coal in time of shortage. Robert B. Allen, of Seattle, sec retary of the West Coast Lumber man’s Association has been in Wash ington explaining the process to off icials. What this will mean in the lum ber industry and to others also, can be gauged by the statement of lum ber manufacturers that in the best standing timber, the waste in felling and milling amounts to 60 or 70 per cent. By the time the logs are cut to planks and then to standard build ing sizes, sometimes only about ten percent of the entire tree has been put to use. The rest,—stump, limbs chips and sawdust—is either burn ed to be got rid of, or left on the ground to remain as a menace to the standing forest. Very little of this valuable material is used for fuel either in lumber mills, nearby power houses or in domestic con sumption.
