Less Excuse For Accidents Tlie driver will have less excuse than ever for dangerous driving. The less attention -Sf driver has to give to the mechanism of his vehicle, the more attention should he he able to pav to events on the road; and the more responsive his car Is to breaking and acceleration, the easier shinild it he for him to niainiain a w id'i margin between himself and the risk of acci- dent.

"Transplanted" Bison Thriving in Alaska Fairbanks, Ala.ska. â€" The snort of the buffalo is heard to-day on the stamping grourwls where his ances- tors perished many thousands ot years ago, because Uncle Sam is a good "transplanter.'" The last I uffalo in the Territory was exterminated in the Pleistocene .^ge by great glaciers from the North, scientists say, but in 1928 the Ala.ska Game Commission and the Federal Bureau of Biological Survey brought a few- bison from Montana to the Jar- vie Creek flats, southeast of here. The Department of Agriculture re- ported to-day that the animals have increased until they n'Jmber sixty. The nearest wild buffalo to the herd here now live in the region of Great Slave Lake, in the Mackenzie Valley of Central Canada, 1,000 ir.iles to the southeast. Ride in Plane Cure For Common Cold?

Toronto Council of Women Tries to Aid Unemployed Girls Givir.g its statenient the title of "Bread Before Chri-stinas Gifts," the Toronto coui.cil of women, puts its case in behalf of the unemployed girl in this manner, "In view of the gre.it distress among single, unemployed business girls we appeal to the girl with a good home who does Christmas work an- nually for jKicket money to consider the unemployed, and often hungry and cold, girls. We also ask the mer- chants in engaging help for the Christmas trade to give the prefer- ence to those who are in need of em- ployment, rather than those who work to add to their spending money." The statement issued by the coun- cil was precipitated by tho announce- r.;ent of a council member that her daughter had made the statement that .she was going down towit to look for u job. Her mother in discussing the matter with her found that several young women in similar positions •jt C'>mfort had the same idea of making a little extra pocket money. Her own (laughter was shown hei- duty in the inatter, and being foresighted the par- ent decided to invite the co-operation of the council in gaining the co-opera- tion of the public in general and the merchants in particular in this effort to gi\e the neniployetl girl an oppor- tunity. Resolutions also were passed de- claring that the Toronto Local Coun- cil of women "(1) Deplore.* the exist- ing deficient situation in children's Aid Work in the province of Ontario; the absence of properly qualified staffs for such important work, and the evi- dent non-enforcement of the Child Welfare legislation. "(2) Ucquests the Ontario Council of Women to give prominence to this very urgent matter at the annual meeting, affecting as it does the pres- ent and future welfare of countless unfortunate children. "(o) Requests the Ontario Council of Women to ask the Provincial Gov- ernment to carry out, without further delay, the recommendations of the Royal Conunission of the province on Child Welfare."
