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 comer of King and Bay Streets, Toronto, and will house the chief Toronto Branch as well as the Head Office e.xecutive 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 Can- adian product from the quarrying of the stone from the Lake St. John Quarry near Orillia 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 â€" Messrs. Harkness & Hertzberg and H. H. Angus, and the general contract is being carried out by the Redfern Construction Co. Limited. Fashion decrees there shall be no change in the trousers' pocket. Woman â€" Are you the plumber? Plumber â€" Yes ma'am. I'm the plumber all right.

Plumber â€" Oh, don't worry, I've got nails in my shoes, so I won't slip. The only people we know of who are as foolish as those who ridicule all new i.ieas because they are new, are those who ridicule ail old ideas because they are old.

Drought-Resisting Wheat Emerging In Canada Edmonton, Alta. â€" High grade wheat, equal In quality to Reward wheat, possibly better in yield and having tlie property of drought re- sistance, Is practically a certainty now although complete development may take anothei five years, it is In- dicated at the University of Alberta labratories where 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 for the past six weekf , it was stated and have reaob- •d the point now where ultimate suc- eees is regarded as assured. Reward wheat has been cross bred with two Siberian drought resisting wheats ia the experiments so far, but It Is ^ssible that another wheat of greater yield than either one will be added to produce ultimately a grain of higii grade milling quality. The Siberian wheats imported by Dr. Aaraodt 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 10 years ago to meet the drought conditions of Siberia, which axe almost exactly like those in the southern parts of Can- ada's prairies. Both Caesium and Multurum how- ever, have low grade milling quali- ties which would obviate their popu- il&rity in Canada. It was to achieve I milling excellence with drought resis- PREVENTS MINERAL DEFICIENCY RJCS£TS ' Proper minerals the traatment. tance that Dr. Aamodt undertook his experiments. The United States De- partment of Agriculture has just be- grun similar experiments at Washing- ton. Dr. .\amodt has been pursuing his studies by the aid of a Federal Re- search Council grant. He has been assisted by Walter Johnston in the laboratories here, and J. H. Torroe_ In charge of field experiments.

Coronte Coiffure For Bobbed-Haired Girl FEED FOR PROFIT term, at the University of Alberta, ' sees the uncommon anomaly of a Vienna student continuing his studies at a Canadian university. Emmerich Munz met in Vienna and married Mehr.i Silbermann, whose home is 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 ':ravels," 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 no good, no students atter.-^ bis classes, about one-third of the stuaent body in Vienna are women.

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: "Uni . . . hold everything." The coronet coiffure has long been a favorite with smart women who like to season sophistication with a dash of quaintness. This year it's more popular than ever. Simple to I arrange and easy to keep in place, it gives the gir' v.ith bobbed hair a chance to weai 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 smooth 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 procedure is even more simple. 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 tlie back, bring them up over the top of the head and pin them in place. horseback from John o' Groat's to Land's End in order to reduce his weight.

Road Safety Says the London Daily Herald: â€" 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 Queer World A Russian named Arjerow has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for bigamy.
