STOPS IGNITION Helium prevents magnesium from bursting into flame during welding. incongruous containers. To turn a bird cage into an amusing package, for example Miss Montgomery bedecks it with Scotch ape patterned with a Christmas de- sign. She glues the tape from top to bottom of the cage to make fes- tive strips. After packing this gay container with a surprise gift, Miss M. ties the handle of the cage with a frou frou bow of Christmas ribbon. ; Intriguing Carry-All You might make an intriguing carry-all for a flock of gifts to a family, by using a mesh orange bag. All that you need to do is to conceal the boldly lettered trademark on the bag, as Miss M. does, with a banding of Christmas wrapping paper and ribbon. The ribbon may be tied to make a bow. Anchor the {festive bands securely to the bag with transparent strips of Scotch tape. A shiny new cheese grater used as a container, for example, for a pair of nylon stockings or a pretty lace handkerchief is certain to win a smile from the recipient. Make the cheese grater worthy of its contents by criss-crossing its gleaming sur- faces, as Miss M. does with strips of festive tape. Stud the grater with gold star stickers and tie the handle with an enormous bow of red cello- phane ribbon. Hat Box Suggestion A cardboard hat box is fun to cover with odds and ends of Christ- mas wrapping paper or left over wallpaper in handsome plaid or striped designs. After paper is cut out to fit and is neatly pasted over a hat box, pack with gifts and tie the lid tight with Christmas ribbon. If you want a really distinctive wallpaper pattern for wrapping up a conventional box, use one of the new wood patterns which reproduces color, grain or bark with realistic effects. A box wrapped in one of these distinctive papers will further reflect your originality if you'll border the package with loops of colored Scotch tape and will use more of the same to make a center bow. Branches of pine needles or holly may be thrust through the ribbon bow and anchored to stay put with- strips of transparent ad- hesive tape.

Mr. Stevens, a compositor on the staff of The Times Publishing Company, told the court that on the evening 'of Friday, October 1, he had driven to Toronto with his wife to. attend a theatre. They had left the theatre about 11.30 p.m. and had driven to a restaurant on No. 2 Highway where they had something to eat. Then they had proceeded east and turned up the HigMlang Creek cloverleaf. - "Don't Remember Anything" "I dont remember anythng of the accident," Mr. Stevens said. "The last thing I remember was turning onto Highway No. 2 from the clov- erleaf road until I woke up in the hospital on the next Monday after- noon." ; Mr. Stevens said he remembered an auto ahead of him which turn- ed off the cloverleaf road and headed west just before he turned east on No. 2. Under cross-examination he told Mr. Rose that his brakes had been in good condition. While he. had never had them checked by police, he serviced his auto himself, hav- ing had two years experience in a ar sa a after investigating at the scene of the accident he had gone to the East General Hospital and had in- terviewed Brannigan who had identified himself as the driver of the second car.

He thought that the right front ends of both vehicles had been in collision. With the conclusion of the Crown evidence, Mr. Rose argued that there was insufficient evidence for com- mittal but Magistrate Ebbs disagreed and ordered trial by a higher court.
