Dr Williams' report was in response to award of the Perkin Medal, one of the highest honours in chemistry, given for. pioneering in vitamin chemistry.

More Divorces
In Canada
Canadians spent more than $1,250,- 000 last year in court and legal fees in the greatest trek to the divorce courts the country ever witnessed.
While the number of marriages in Canada reached an all-time peak in 1042, the number of divorces last year was double the number then, In each divorce the applicant had to pay about $200 in legal fees.
Dusty volumes of vital statistics for the years following confederation show only 13 divorces in 1883-and that was the first year the number of divorces contained two digits. In 1003, there were 21 divorces-are- cord up to that time,"
