nEW ARTIFICIAL Arm! A
MARVEL or Perfection
Invented by al American. 1t En-
a5Ies Wearer 10 Pick Up.
Fins or Pennies.

In an article recently authorized by
The British official press bureau, in
which the subject of the narrative is
the supplying of artificial limbs to
manned soldiers, n reference is made
to an artificial arm invented b.. an
American which is called a marvel.
but which unfortunately for men of
limited means rctailS at the high l3ricc
Of $500. The article after referring to
this American invention tells of the
plans now under way which will make
possible the extension of govern.ne nt
aid to those who would otherwis, be
unable to supply themselves with arti-
fetal arms and legs.
British government officials" the
statement reads. ARE devoting II UGH
consideration to the problem of the
continuous provision of artificial limbs
for men broken in battle who lleed
such aids to make the best of their
careers. A plan is being drawn UP by
the most scientific appliances in this
direction. thereby helping suffering
warriors not only to get some further
enjoyment out OF life. but to be useful
from an Industrial point of view. But
an artificial arm. for instance. is a
costly limb. An American has invent
ed one which IS admittedly q marvel,
but it costs $3.50. The price is, Of
course, beyond the means Of al Or
binary Tommy; hence the idea of STATE
cooperation.
"a Liverpool officer who is recently
possessed of one OF these wonderful In
ventions can pick up a pin or a penny,
draw a cigarette out of n case, rAl it
in his mouth and light it, to say 10th
ing of guiding e horse with the reins,
lifting q fifty pound weight, signing
his name, steering a bicycle or a mo-
torcar and generally initiating the
work Of the natural arm in such q
| manner that at first sight one cannot
| see that his arni is artificial. He lay
in hospital side by side with soldiers
who had lost right or left arms. He
has visited them since he left the hos
| pital and has been struck with the In
ferior quality Of the artificial limbs
supplied to the SOLDIER in comparison
with his own"

Among Other Things, He 7ucks
Card Carrying His CompIi-

Ill all letters from America the Turk
ish censor seemed to take the most
personal interest. Sometimes he would
tuck his card into Il magazine, Com

Ruhl in Golfers Weekly.
At the end OF one letter of mine from

words. But suppose the cold bloodei
censor will cut this out to which was
added: The censor is not cold blooded.
On the contrary. he is very hot

where and writes her husband sixteen
pages about it. Well, now, no one

read the first page and the last, and
the rest they simply lifted out and into
the wastebasket!
This explained it-those curious let
ters people had been getting with a
start and a finish and the rest all gone.
Imagine yourself. for instance, sepa-
rated by 5000 miles and a continent
covered with war from those you care
about most and then getting a letter:

clusion: IF you act at once there may

1t wasn't that the censor objected to
the middle Of the letter, but there
wasn't time to wade through all, and
he merely sent what he could read.

A social event that preceded the
going away of the Penners to Texas,
was a largely attended party at the
George w. Friesen home. 1t was a
swell affair. including all Of the old
timers of Moscow who were able to
be there. By one and all of the large
company present it is sure to be long
held in remembrance.
There was also a Christmas pro-
gram and entertainment given by the
pupils of the Reimer school under the
guidance of their teacher on the Goth
inst. This was another event that
taxed the seating capacity of the build
ing to the utmost while of the even
ing's program it may be said to have
been of first class order.
Another social affair of the week
preceding the holidays was a dance
held in what is known as the Brehmer
school. The party of dancers ..took
in nearly all the young folks in the
Moscow settlement, and some of the
older are also noted as having been
present. Exceptionally good music
and the refreshment served made the
occasion one of general enjoyment
to all.
