Y`: t:',y�+A •••• The accompanying cut was made from the architect's drawing and illustrates the new Head Office Building now in the course of erection for Imperial Bank of Canada. The building will stand at the south-east corner of King and Bay Streets, Toronto, and will house the chief Toronto =Branch as well as the Head Office executive,. and staff. It is to be a bank building, six stories in height with a, frontage of approximately one hundred feet on each street. The building will be on lines of classic beauty, dignified, characteristic• and thoroughly modern in the utilitarian sense. It will be a striking:''". example of what can be accomplished in Canadian design and con- struction with Canadian materials. Every. thought has been: given to the employment of Canadian labour, both in the purchase -,of -'mat- erials and equipment and in the actual construction. of. the Building itself. The stone used in this building, for example, is an entirely Uan- adian product from the quarrying of the stone from the Lake St. John Quarry near Oriilia- to the cutting and setting .of the finished ' material. The guiding principle in the awarding of contracts is to deal with those contractors and supply houses able to furnish "Made in Canada" goods, even down' to the production 'of ores, 'etc.,` where this is possible. The Architects are Messrs. Sproatt & Rolph, the Consulting- Engineers—Messrs. Harkness & Hertzberg and H. H. Angus, and the general contract is being carried out by the Redfern Construction Co. Limited. Drought -Resisting Wheat Emerging In Canada Edmonton, Alta, — High grade wheat, equal in quality to Reward wheat; possibly better in yield and having the property of drought re- sistance, is practically a certainty now although complete development may take another five years, it is in- dicated at the University of Alberta labratories wLere it is being bred. The new type of wheat, which so far has been accorded neither a name nor a nickname is being developed under the direction of Dr. O. S. Aam- odt, head of the field crops depart- ment of the university. Experiments have been under way on the new grain far the past six weeks, it was stated and have reach- ed the point now where ultimate suc- cess is regarded as assured, Reward wheat has been cross bred with two Siberian drought resisting wheats in the experiments so far, but it is possible that another wheat of greater yield than either one will be added to produce ultimately a grain of high' grade milling quality. The Siberian wheats imported by Dr. Aamodt when he came to the Uni- • versity of Alberta from the Uni- versity of Minnesota 6 years ago are 'Caesium and Multurum, developed by Russian natural scientists 1-0 years ago to meet the drought 'conditions of Siberia, which are almost exactly like those in the southern parts of Can- ada's prairies. Both Caesium and Multurum haw - ever, have low grade milling quail - .ties which would .obviate their popu- parity in Canada.

Scholarship Not Always Awarded To Best .Students Many a Canadian medical student cherishes the high ambition one day to be able to take post -graduate work at the University of Vienna.. This term, at the University of Alberta, sees the uncommon anomaly of a Vienna student continuing his studies at a Canadian university. Emmerich Munz me,t in Vienna and married Melmi Silbermann, whose home at Barons, Alta., and who was studying medicine in the Austri- an capital. He decided to take his fourth year in Edmonton, going on to Paris or Edinburgh or perhaps back to Vienna next year. "When one travels," he e-:plained to a student reporter, "one's philos- ophy is broader, but the person who always must live in the one country must have the philosophy of his newspaperman." Munz told of many differences in university life on the continent. There the student, rather than the professor, is the important part of a university. If the professor is 110 good, no students attend his classes. about one-third of the student body in Vienna are women. Scholarships ,are not necessarily. >awarded to the 'best studeal'•but 'ttyii14ny deserving poor. • Fewer Families on Relief It is satisfactory to know that there were 1,069 fewer families on relief in Winnipeg on November 10 than at the same time last year. . . The number of families on relief has declined continuously since .last Winter until the present time. On June 2 there were 7,146 families re- ceiving relief; on September 1 there were 5,995, and on November 10 there were 5,979, or 16 fewer faliu= lies than two months ago.—Winnipeg Free Press. • ,., `�ti �y Gam.,• . .los.

Many unworkable laws have been passed on the theory that things are simple and easily changed, The re- verse is true. Life is very complex, taken all together. It rests upon simple enough facts, perhaps. But in their workings and repercussions, they become anything but simple. One reason why it pays to be honest, is because there is less com- petition along that line. Suitor: "Darling, you are every- thing to me." She: "Um . - . hold everything." Road Safety Says the London Daily Herald:— The decision of the Ministry of Transport to collect and study an- alytical reports of all road accidents throughout the country is eminently sensible. A little more thought, a little more experiment and a little less slapdashery would not be a bad thing. . . It is not a question of penalising pedestrians for the benefit of motorists. It is a question of organising and disciplining ped- estrians for their own safety. There. is too much nonsense talked of the "rights of pedestrians," "rights of cyclists," "rights of motorists," and the like. It is not a matter of rights but a matter of co-operation for the common safety. And no road user, of whatever category, should object to reasonable restrictions for his own behefit and that of others, BLANKETS !

TORONTO, 19th November, 1934. ;.,,ay,. cdke Coronte Coiffure For Sobbed -Haired Girl The coronet coiffure has long been a favoatte with smart women who like to season sophistication with a dash of quaintness. This year it's more popular than ever. Simple to arrange and easy to keep in place, it gives the girl with bobbed hair a chance to wear a long-haired coiffure if and when she desires. A thick braid is the only absolutely necessary requirement. If you sav- ed your long hair. when you had it bobbed the first time, have a braid made out of it. If not, you may buy one that matches the color and tex- ture of your own locks. Brush the hair back smoothly from the forehead and arrange rows and rows of tiny curls across the back and around the ears. Then put the braid., up over the crown of your head so that the ends of it reach just in front of each ear, disappearing under the curls. Pin the braid firm- ly to the curls and to the srnooth hair on top of your head as well. For formal occasions fasten small jewel- led stars in the braid. If your hair is long, 'the proceditte is even nioreg,eirnple. Part your hair down the middle of the back of the head, driving it into two equal parts. Braid each section and then, crossing the braids at the back, bring them up over the top of the head and pin them in place. Queer World A Russian named Arjerow has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for bigamy. He married fifty-eight wives in six years, and is said to have been the father of 102 children. Pieces of cow's horn are being us- ed instead of metal plates to hold broken bones together until they can heal. The horn not only holds the parts together, but appears to sup- ply substances made use of by the body in manufacturing new bone.

Offenders are liable to imprisonment and their parents to a fine. • Sani Guayas has become church or- ganist at Halos, Hungary, at the age of nine.

Longest Bridge Darlington England firm of en- gineers has just completed the build- ing of the longest railway in the world. It is the Lower Zambesi bridge, erected to provide uninter- rupted railway communication be- tween Beira and Lake Nyasa, in East Africa, and is 11,650ft. gins., or nearly two miles and a quarter, in length. There are six approach spans, the latter being supported by concrete piers sunk in the bed of the river, or on mass concrete bases founded on the rock at the river bank. It is ever a thousand feet long- er than the famous Tay Bridge in Scotland. The Americans claim that the Hell Gate Bridge, New York, is the long- est in the world, and it is, in fact, Soured on the World?—That's Liver Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel Necessary Many people who feel sour, sluggish and generally wretched make the mis- take of taking salts, oil, mineral water, laxative candy or chewing gum, or roughage which only move the bowels and ignore the liver.
