To Discuss Land Plants The origin of land plants will be the topic of the annual presi dent’s address by Dr. Douglass H.

Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary-manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers associa tion, Washington, D. C., one of the highest American authorities on wood utilization, will represent the consuming side of the wood situa tion. Dr. Compton is the brother of Dr. Carl Compton, winner of the Nobel prize for physics, and recently elected president of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology.
