The fear that existed not long ago lest the native buffalo would soon be come extinct is dispelled by a report of the American Bison society, which states that there were 3,393 wild and tame buffalo in the United States in January, 1920. This is an increase of aKsiut qnn nor Pont sinrp 1008. in Which year there were 1,116 wild and tame buffalo In tills country.

In 1917?a typical year In which the figures were not complicat ed by the war?14.2 of every thousand persons in the United States died; out of every hundred thousand deaths 153.2 were from diseases of the heart, 149.8 from pneumonia. 146.4 from tuberculosis, 107.4 from kidney trou bles, 82.9 from apoplexy, 81.6 from cancer, 79 from diarrhoea, 25.3 from diseases of the arteries, 17.2 from In fluenza, 16.9 from diabetes, 16.5 from diphtheria, 16.3 from bronchitis, 108.8 from accidents of all sorts. Arterial diseases and diabetes show an in crease that is really alarming; for In 1900 only 6.1 per 100,000 died of the former and only 9.7 the latter. These, with those of the heart and kidneys, are diseases that resul/ directly from the strain and stress of modern life. ?Popular Science Monthly. The Sick Miner. Judge Elbert H. Gary, on his return from Europe, discussed the English foal strike at a luncheon. "The men demanded an uncondi tional two-shilling increase," he said, "hut the government couldn't very well grunt them that, because each former Increase had been followed by a decrease of output. So many miners you see found that they could make enough in three or four days to keep them all the week. "So many miners, in fact, were like the sick miner. As the sick miner, pale and drawn, lay In his bed the doctor entered. "The doctor examined him and then said: 44 'I prescribe complete rest. You tired yourself out In the last strike.'"

WOMAN'S DRESS MORE MODERATE Paris, March 24.?A return to con servatism in woman's dress is indi cated in advance displays for spring and summer now being held in Paris. Several hundred American buyers who have arrived for the sea sonal fashion shows are more pleased than they have been since the armis tice because of the ease with which theA new modes can be adapted to American taste. The Paris dressmakers continue to show extreme effects in afternoon and evening wear, but the majority of the gowns reflect a return to san ity in dress. Such is the view of American buyers. Buying, however, is restricted because of the general depression in the United States. The business lull in America has led to purchase of the most quiet models, the theory being that American wo men during the coming season will buy only simple things which can be worn on many occasions. The season is only half finished, but a general indication has already been given of the changes. One of the most noticeable innovations ia j the lengthening of skirts at least one inch. French dressmakers admit that this is a recognition of Ameri can taste which has resented the ex tremely short skirt since it was in troduced. Backs are still bare. This the dressmakers have refused to alter. American buyers are purchasing these "bareback" models with a vie w to rigidly modifying them in Ameri ca . While the new gowns are less radi cal, buyers say they continue to be complicated and expensive. With the i reappearance of dyes of a pre-war standard, color dominates all gowns. The material may be simple, but gold and. silver and blue and pink trim mings are combined to make it at tractive. As one buyer described it, 'modern simplicity implies expense, old fashioned simplicity dullness." Prices continue high. Dressmak ers justify them by pointing to the artistry involved in their creations and also to the fact that materials used were purchased at top prices. For the eastern type of beauty the season offers much. There are draperies and turbans of all varietji of color and long strings of beads are to be worn extensively according to the arbiters of fashion. The season's effects have been buill for. the normally built women arid the extremely plump and extremely thin women will have some difficult! in choosing becoming gowns.
