wii T0 Fourth Consecutive Trinity College Student Year--1930 Produces Highest Acadeniic Record Since Federation of College With University Toronto.--The award of a Rhodes Scholarship to a Trinity College Stu- dent for the fourth consecutive year has drawn atfention to the high aca- dene record of the members of the College, At the Annual Examinations of the University of Toronto in May 1930 the standing of Trinity Students was higher than ir any year since the Federation of the College with the Provincial UniverBity. The following students obtained the "highest standing in the whole Univer sity In thelr courses: In the fourth year, Mr. J. T. Wilson in Physics and Geology; In the third year, Miss A. 'D. D. Brereton in Classics; In the second year, Miss C. E. C. Gwyn in Classics; Mr. C. L. M. Douglas in Pol- tical Science and Economics; Mr. J. L. Stewart in Law and Mr. A. H. 'Woodcock in Physics and Chemistry; in 'the first year, Mr. J, E. A. Crake in Classics, It is interesting to note that Trinity College Students secured the highest place in Classics in the first, second and Third years. In the fourth year Mr. H. R. S. Ryan was second In the first class in the same department, In other student activities in the University of Toronto, Trinity Stu- dents took their full part. On the University of Toronto Intercollegiate Football Team in all the matches against Queen's, McGill and the Unt versity of Western Ontario, four Trin- ity College Students took part. The Trinity College Literary Insti- tute continues to be one of the most important training centres for Public = - | Speaking and mdny of its members have taken part in: the Debates, " The women students were particu- larly successful In athletics during the past year. St. Hilda's won the Inter- faculty Basketball Championship and were runners up In the Interfaculty Hockey Series. St. Hilda's also won the Interfaculty Tennis Champion- ship. The members of the Teaching Staff of the College have ist addition to their work in the College made important contributions to learning. Special mention should be made of Dr. Mer- cer's expedition to Abyssinia where he discovered the oldest krown Ethiopic Manuscript of the Bible. He will pub- lish immediatel, through Luzac and Company of London a new Edition of the Text of the Book of Eccles: astes, Professor Hicks has with Pro- fessor Ford published a new French Reader. The Time Educational Sup- plement devoted a lengthy leading ar- ticle to a most favourable Review of "this work. The Corporation or Governing Body of the College now increased the value of Trinity College Open Matriculation Scholarships by adding ee Tuition for four years. They will how rank i among the most valuable Scholarships offered in the whole University. Ad- | ditional Scholarships have been estab- ! lished in the Undergraduate Course. Trinity Students are also eligible for , all Scholarships offered by the Uni versity of Toronto at Matriculation and during the Undergraduate Course.

They are particularly concerned with the promiscuous use of firearms in German Railways Face Big Decline $180,000,000 Decrease in Re- ceipts is Expected at Close of Business Year Berlin. -- The 'German State Rail- ways, the biggest single commercial undertaking in the world, faces the probability of winding up its business . year with more than a $180,000,000 de- crease in receipts, according to fore- casts from railway officials, This fall- ing off, despite an increase in passen- ger and freight rates last Summer, is primarily attributed to the general economic depression. With its 700,000 employees, more than $6,000,000 worth of property and its annual gross receipts of $1,260,,000,- 000 in 1929 the Reichsbahn not only towers above all privately-owned cor- porations but leaves its nearest State- owned rival far behind. Big Drain for Reparations This giant among monopolies Is faced with the primary obligation not of running adequate trains but of pro- ducing nearly $250,000,0000 annually to be paid into the Bank for Interna- tional Settlements against reparations charges. This burden accounts for the somewhat novel organization of the Reichsbahn and explains its tariff policy, its strife with the government: regarding these tariffs and the com- paratively slow pace in expansion of its plant and in modernization ofits equipment, Fourteen per cent. of all passenger tickets goes for reparations, 21 per cent. of the freight rates and 26 per cent, of baggage and express charges likewise merely pass through the hands of the Reichsbahn. month the Reichsbahn must pay to the World Bank 65,000,000 marks and " must pay a government transport tax, which is also used for reparations, amounting to 50 per cent. before it can begin taking care of its own debt ser- vice charges; 9,000,000 marks annually, or think about dividends, . Replacement Needed in 1924. "When the Reichsbahn became a cor- poration in 1924 it found a great need for réplacements in roadbeds, rolling stocks and station equipment which had been neglected .during the war and the inflation period. The direct- ors began exercising the German genius for organizing and soon had the wasfe reduced and efficiency in- creased to a point where vital im- provements could be carried out. Six thousand miles of the total of 33,625 have had mew tracks, and normal re- - placements have been kept up. Fortunately, owing to the complete- mess of the system, it has been neces- sary to.add only 500 miles of new line since the war and this was al- 'Pigeons 300 Miles Land Each |' most 'entirely small branches. Be-| cause of overlapping among several State railways before the war the Reichsbahn found it had more than enough locomotives and was able to re- duce by 3,600 to 23,726 and still con- siders it has 1,400 too many. New high-powered high-speed pas- senger locomotives and extra heavy freight engines have been added, but full replacement belng unnecessary, it was possible to make considerable savings here. This helped to finance an increase in passenger cars by 1,000 | to a total of 65,000 .and to drop old types. . Improvements in switching and re- pair shops enabled the Reichsbahn to get along with 20,000 less freight | cars and carry the same amount. The German passenger trains cover 30, 000,000 miles yearly against about 40, 000,000 covered by United States trains, which, considering the relative ' size of the countries and the fact that the population is a little less than half as big, indicates a considerably larger service. American freight miles, amounting to 700,000,000 tons, are sald to be twelve times as high as the German total. Inland waterways and an elaborate canal system partly ac- count for the difference. . | Notwithstanding the scarcity of funds to carry out expansions, rallway officials are proud of the safety, regu- arity and cleanilness of passenger |'trains, the comfort of sleepers, the. menus of dining cars and the In- creased speed of freight, The Relch- sbahn never seems to lose Interest In inventions and experiments which pro- mise to improve efficiency, safety and comfort. Weather Stations To Aid Aviation Floating Bureaus Essential, Says Air Security Con- gress at Paris Paris--Floating meteorological sta- tions are essential to transatlantic alr travel, the International Alr-Secur- ity Congress asserted in-a resolution here on Dec. 23rd, and, if Government financial support is not made avall- able, such stations should be estab- lished by private capital. . = The Congress endorsed the Dual- control method of training pllots and advocated a minimum age of 17 years for professional filers, It also adopt- ed a resolution insisting upon a wider knowledge of everything pertaining to flying as a requisite for professional Ilcenses. : Dirigibles, another resolution sald, ought to experiment in landing on water, and the use of hellum, "the only gas with absolute aeronautle .sec- urity," should be advanced every- where." at Sea LE On Fishing Schooner Storm-Tossed Birds Show Reluctance to Leave When Ship Arrives in Port--Sailors Care For Chance Voyagers Boston.--Three hundred miles at exhausted and sea, fifteen pigeons, battered In a fight with strong winds, found haven aboard the Boston fish- "ing schooner, L.

If the indicator tells you that the generator is not charging at the maximum rate specified in your in- struction manual, you may save the lite of your battery by having the generator set ahead. When this has been done, the battery will regain its normal voltage after a few hours of driving. * | Mids Frances McGaan, Chicago Convalescent! Canadian Radio League Established For Promotion of Canada's Interests in the Radio World Ottawa, Ont.--Avowing its purpose to be the promotion of Canada's in- terests in -the radio world and the es- tablishment of an organization which might evenually become a medium of expression for those interests, the Canadian Radlo League has come into being and assumed definite shapas at a meeting here. Temporary chair man of the executive committees is Graham Spry, with Allan Plaunt sec- retary. In a memorandum announcing the ralson d'etre of the league, fits attl- tude towards natlonal broadcasting 1s set out in the following terms: "The solution the radio league sees of the present radio problem, the one means towards making the radio a great Instrument of entertainment, education and national unity, is the establishment of a national broad- casting company with the powers of a private enterprise and the functions of a public utility." A national broadcasting system would ensure, according tp the Cana- dian Radio League, that every Cana- dian could hear Canadian programs, but not to the exclusion of other broadcasts. War Chests Throw Open to the Needy Ottawa--The Department of Na- tional Defense has been authorized by order in council to throw open fits war chests to the Canadian Red Cross Society that the peace forces may benefit. Here is a gift indeed, for it includes 43,000 pairs of trousers, 42,000 pairs of socks, 22,000 sults of heavy under- wear, 24,000 winter undershirts, 18,- 000 khak! flannel shirts, many thou- sands of stockings, sweater jackets, overshoes and other useful articles of clothing to the value of $250,000. These supplies, In stock since the close of the World War in 1918, are in excellent condition. After allow- ing for the needs of the permanent militia force for the next decade there remains such a "stocking" as enumerated. The department states that "It is considered that in the present circumstances the public wel: fare will best be served by distribut- ing this clothing to those In need." sd Huge Wolf Shot In Milton District Milton. --Harry Hilson, Sr., a well known trapper and hunter of Milton Heights, is the possessor of a pelt taken from a female wolf which he shot and killed in the mountain three miles west of Milton. He will apply to the Government for the ,bounty, This is the first wolf shot In this part of Canada In recent years, and has caused considerable excitement among farmers residing in the district. Sev- eral weeks ago Hilson killed a golden headed eagle near the mountain at Speyside, six miles north of Milton. -- i 4 | | nurse, stricken with infantile par- .| velling of the bronze equestrian ata Pasteurized Milk Most Necessary To Public Health Canned Substitute Advised Where Safety Process Impossible Every village, town and city in Can- ada should take immediate steps to prohibit the use of unpasteurized milk, in the opinion of Dr. Fred W. Routley, director of the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross. "For 25 years we have known that raw, unpasteurized milk is unsafe and yet there are few localities which have by-laws to prohibit its use." Therd were only two kinds of milk which 'could be used with safety, Dr. Routley declared, pasteurized milk or canned milk. Canned milks, he pointed out, are! prepared under the Dominion pure foods act supervision, and are quite charge of the municipalities having increased considerably, the subsidy maintenance was placed at 60 per cent | without limit as to amount. At the beginning of 1932 the govern- ment took over, for maintenance at its own expense, provincial and region- al highways. In 1927 it took over for the same purpose all Improved roads.

Free man, of Ardenode, Alberta, won a pair of bronze turkeys in a raflle. She now has the largest turkey ranch in Can- ada. Her turkeys will return a re- venue of $10,000 this year, says a bulletin of the Dominion Government. The winning of the pair of turkeys in the raffle suggested to Mrs. Free- man the idea of raising turkeys as a side line, She applied to the Cana- dian Federal and Alberta Department of Agriculture for literature on rals- ing poultry, turkeys in particular, Her { husband, a farmer, encouraged her to experiment in the business. She studied the literature carefully and followed the advice given. 'Her ranch,' says the bulletin, is now famous. She receives letters from all parts of the world and her market ex- tends to ali parts of the North Ameri- can continent agd to other countries. "This year she raised 2,500 birds. Three hundred hens, all government inspected, have supplied the demand for eggs in 1930 and forty-five of the most perfect hens have teen selected for first-class breeding stock. The receipts from the sale of table birds for the holidays are expected to bring the year's total up to $10,000. "The Freeman farm oun which the turkeys are raised has a creek run: ning through it, which supplies a con- stant and plentiful supply of good water, an essential for successful tur- key raising. The soll is sandy, which assures good drainage. Most of the chicks are hatched in incubators. Af- | ter hatching the chicks are sheltered for about ten days in large coops and! then allowed to roam.

The present negotiations have not yet reached the stage of actual dlscus- slon of the number and tonnage of ships to be allotted each country but in diplomatic circles it is felt that the prospects for an agreement are much brighter than at any time in re- cent months.
