Janet Gaynor, petite film star, to-

Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences was expected to give
serious consideration.
She proposed:
''When the annual awards are
made to the best actor Of the
year, the best actress, and the
best picture, why not include a
golden Statuette for the best bit
performances of the year?
"It would be wonderful way
to stimulate effort among

dom.
"Out of the bit players Of
today come the stars Of tOmOr-
row. Let's try to help them
along by having something con-
crete to reward them for q part

In 1929 Miss Gaynor won the

DOG 'N0UNTIE'
HIS MAN,
PR0VESGU|LT

OTTAWA, Ontario 0.N.SJ.-A
huge black-and-tan dog named
Dale is one of the most successful
detectives in the famous Noun
tie" police force.
His exploits fill full page OF
the annual report of the force,
now issued by the Commissioner,
Sir James MacBrien.
Here is a brief catalogue Of
Dale's feats:
He has tracked down the muir
derers of two Mountie policemen
Sergeant wallace and Constable
Harrison.
Traced a demented man who
had caused an explosion in a
farmers house by placing a petrol
soaked suit of underwear at a
cellar door.
Traced lost child, Eileen
Simpson, aged 212, after a search
party had failed to find her.
And, most brilliant of all, Dale
not only arrested" a thief dur
ing the past year but collected
evidence TO prove Ills sulIV'
Follows His Trail
Stolen goods we're found in a
car on a roadside. Dale followed
tracks leading from the car and
caught the thief. Nothing was
found on him to prove that he
was guilty of the theft. Dale was
sent back on the mans trail again
and he returned with other artl-
cles that had been stolen, in his
mouth.
In beauty" as well as brains,
Dale is a credit to the force. He
took first prize in his class at
the Calgary dog show.
Binding Arctic blizzards, impas-
sable walls of ice and rock on land
and shifting treacherous ice on the
sea are some of the hazards en-
countered in the daily life OF the
police constables in the force, the
reports says.
PerilOus Journey
One patrol of many recounted
was undertaken by Corporal Kear-
ney, a constable and an Eskimo.
The journey was not a long one
compared with many Travelled by
the Northern police. It was from
Craig Harbour, Ellesmere Island,
to Dundas Harbour on Devon ISL
and, q distance of about 100 miles
as the crow flies.
Equipment for the trek consisted
Of two dog Sleds and an ice boat.
They found Jones Sound be-
tween the two islands open and
they made a wide detour across
rough ice. Reaching Devon Island
they were confronted by sheer
cliffs. There was a narrow ledge
along the shore IS miles in length
which would carry them to a slop-
ing glacier. This they hoped to
ascend to the inner ice cap Of
Devon Island.
But after creeping along the
narrow ledge for five miles they
found it suddenly broken off and
q further advance was impoS-
Sible.
Retracing their steps they set
out for Cape Sarbo about SO
miles to the west in the hope of
finding there suitable glacier

by which to climb to the ice
plateau. The glaciers, however,
were found entirely inaccessible,
and so the journey had to be
abandoned-despite their heroic
attempts to struggle on.
On Devon Island, the report
adds, the party came upon a
herd of musk-oxen. When they
approached to take photos of the
animals, the herd split into two
sections and formed a circle with
the calves and COWS in the cen
ter, the bulls awaiting the in
truders with lowered horns. It
was their ancient method of de-
fense against attacks by wolves.
The musk-oxen, which are di-
minishing in number, are the sole
survivors in Canada Of the great
mammals of the Ice Age.

It's the men. not the women, who
make last-minute Christmas shopping
. haSardous job.
Authority for this statement Is Ed
ward D. Shaw, secretary Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, who today urged Washington
merchants to direct their advertising
appeals for earlier Yuletide shopping
almost exclusively to men.
Last year the M. & M. made .
careful study Of December shopping
tendencies in cities throughout the
country and found that the bulk Of
last-minute buying was done by the
husbands. fathers, sons, brothers or
boy friends Of the fair sex.

Eleventh. Hour Yule Shopping
lam Traced to Male Buyers

"Women are much more expert In
shopping and, Of course, devote much
more attention to the subject" said
Shaw.
"As Q result, when the stores finally
decide to meet the demand for earlier
gift buying and arranged to display
their Christmas stock earlier In the
holiday season the adept women shop
pers were quick to take advantage
Of the opportunity.
"If the men Of Washington would
take time now to do their holiday
buying, they would find the stores
in much better shape to meet their
needs than they will be IN the week
prior to Christmas, when holiday
stocks are somewhat depleted"

SPECULATIVE PERIL
IS Barred BY DAVIS
Warns of Trouble If Vast
Stores of Money Are Used
to Gamble.
- the Associated Press.

PASADENA, Calf, December IL
Chester C. Davis, governor OF the
Federal Reserve System, warned yes
money and credit flow into speculative
investment channels I'VE are in for
trouble"
Addressing the American Farm
Bureau Federation" Davis added
that under present conditions he did
net favor "the historic method of
attempting to check speculative in
flation by raising interest rates and
tightening the money market"
Problem to Consolidate Recovery.
The speaker, whom President
Roosevelt appointed to the Reserve
Board after his resignation as head
Of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, continued:
"Our problem now is to consolidate
our recovery, to preserve it and to use
existing and, if necessary, new
instruments to bring about more
stabilized products and greater
productivity"
Saying the Reserve Board should
continue its "easy money" policy "as
long as we have a great supply of
idle men and idle plants" Davis
nevertheless contended some means
must be found to prevent present
money and credit reserves from
being siphoned into speculation"
TO invest our money and credit
again for speculative purposes in
securities and real estate and COM
modities would be to tread the path
Of folly to probable disaster" he
warned.
Would Coordinate Policies.
Through "a better coordination Of
monetary, credit and fiscal policies" !"
he added, it should be possible to
prevent IAN unhealthy BOOM"
Davis described prospects Of re-
storation of the gold standard in
anything like its pre-war form" as
'too remote to help us in meeting
the realities of the world situation
and our domestic problems today"
Discussing the Reserve Systems
supervision of banking practices, he
asserted this control now is shared
among various-I almost said too
n1any-Federal and State authorities" "
