The result of the recent poll on

According to an official state ment issued after the meeting 2,027 members recorded their votes in the poll, the figures being:

the last year or two, passenger aero-the question of the alteration of planca have swept away one of the rules of the Royal Society for the most picturesque characteristics of Prevention of Cruelty to Animata winter in the Yukon goldfields of with reference to the Introduction Alaska. The long journeys through of proxy voting was announced by Lord Banbury, the Chairman, at a the snowy wilds by dog-team 80 meeting of the Council of the vividly 'described by Jack London, Society rocently, Rex Bench, ond Robert Service, aro now a thing of the past, and dog aledge travel up in the frozen North will BOON be as rare, a phenomenon as hansom-cab treks in modern London. Several com- panies operate air travel lines, and Alaska has already, 40 com- mercial aerodromes--many more than exist in the British Isles. Practically all winter tralle bo- tween Fairbanks and Nome is no by air, and the Indians and Eskimos are now much more used to the sight of planes than are most rural Englishmen.

The development has como 80 quickly, however, that it has left numbers of traders innded of dried salmon which they plaintively de- clare that aeroplanes won't eat! Dried salmon, which is light, sus taining, and nutritious, is the slodge dog's daily bread" on long winter journeys. As a result, the annual order of several tons, which has hitherto been given to the Yukon River fisheries during the summer, for drying and delivery in the nu tumn, has this year been cancelled for the first time.

The boom in air travel has caused big losses to the breeders of the specially hardy strain of dog cap able of withstanding the rigours of the climate for journeys of weeks at a time, and good sledge dogs are now obtainable for prices which would have seemed incredible a few years age. The change is generally regarded, however, as distinctly on for the better, in view of ils avoid ance of discomfort and hardship and the prevention in future of such dangerous emergencies as the fever epidemic at Nome, three or four years ago, when serum had to be brought over the snow by dog sledge for hundreds of miles before aid. could reach the stricken town,

"MODERN GIRLS WITH AIMLESS LIVES.”

DUCHESS OF ATHOLL AGHAST.

"I could weep when I think of the hours girls seem to spend con- templating instead of reading," said the Duchess of Atholl, Purlla- mentary Secretary to the Board of Education, at a Mother's Union meeting at Mary Summer House, Tufton-street, Westminister, recent-

ly.

"Girls," she added, "ought to be Laught how to use up odd moments, 1 am frankly aghast at the amall number of people whom I meet in first-class railway carriages who read on a journey. I could count on the fingers of one hand the num ber. I have been reading anything worth while while travelling in a train, and I could count on my toes those I have seen reading anything at all.

"The einema is a potent influence in the lives of our young people, but too often it stimulates interest in sensation and arouses instincts which would be better left un- developed till later in life.

"That, aimless life of pleasure, waiting for the right man to turn up. In humiliating. We want our girls to have self-respect and in- dependence. They can only get thuso by having some occupation.

"All girls should be taught games, ns the best corrective against Billi- ness and vanity; handiwork und social service."

Character training based on re- ligious teaching was also essential.

WORKERS' BEST

COST OF GOODS REDUCED BY ADVERTISING.

| "Advertising is a great national work. It must help the British trader to sell his goods and adapt. himself to the marketa, and we must see that the right kind of man is educated to take part in advertis- ing," said Lord Riddel on taking over the presidency of the Advertis- ing Association at the annual dinner at the Savoy Hotel recently.

"The future of the British Em- pire lies in telling the world what we are doing, and letting them know what we have to sell," he said.

Sir Edward Iliffe, M.P., said that advertising was the working man's best friend.

“Advertising, In my opinion,",ho Rald, "has done more than anything else to increase the standard of liv ing, because it has made large scale production possible, and in that way has lowered the cost of various com. modities,"

He added that he would have nd- vertising in its right place, which was not by means of bills disfigur- Ing our beautiful countryside,.

"The Chairman," the statement continued, "then tendered his re- signation. Sir Robert Gower pro- posed that Lord Banbury be asked to reconsider his decision and to re- main as Chairman until after the annual meeting.

"This was seconded by Mr. H. J. Selby, and the motion was carried.

"Lord Banbury stated that he would yield to the wishes of the Council on one condition-that he did not take the chair at the annual meeting. He then moved, seconded by Mrs. Penn Gaskell, that Sir Robert Gower, M.P., should take the chair at the annual meeting, and this was carried.",

on the

History of the Trouble.

The poll was the sequel to a series of stormy meetings of mem- bers of the Society resulting from a long-standing controversy subject of the export of old horaes to the Continent and the Bill to from vivisection, exempt doga though Lord Banbury alleged that the Hon. Stephen Coleridge, who led the movement, desired to put on the Council those who would endeavour to stop hunting and shooting. Mr. Coleridge denied that this was his object.

Last May, when the voting by proxy proposal was submitted at an

goneral extraordinary

meeting, who was in the Lord Banbury, chair, referred to a circular issued by Mr. Coleridge alleging that Lord Banbury had spoken against the Dogs Protection BUL' Im-| mediately there was an outcry, and demand that Lord Banbury should leave the chair. As order could not be restored, Lord Banbury ad- journed the meeting.

Similar scenes were repented when the meeting was resumed in August, and Lord Banbury, amid general pandemonium, read a state- ment and then left the meeting. Subsequently the proposed altera- tion of the rules was submitted to a ballot of the members, with the re- sylt stated above.
