Activities I'm Ardmor@ Club Circles
by GEORGE ALv1S

Mrs. Avis, substitute, made a brief
talk on the combined topic, speaking
of all learning moving west; of the
similarity Of the Assyrian and Egyp-
tian gods, and expressed the wonder
if 2000 years from now, students would
not be equally as puzzled over our
winged angels as we are over the man.
eagle-lion combination, and its sym.
bolism.
Mrs. Sam Buffers talk ran so:
This year it seems to me will be our
golden opportunity, one of inspiration
and enjoyment. We take up today the
Relation of Art to Life, studying the
art of various civilizations, and find
ing what success they made of the
art of living; what message, lesson
and wealth of enjoyment they left for
US.
Powers tells us that, 1--WE can no
more interpret art in terms Of exact
knowledge than we can interpret col
or in terms of hearing. Spiritual
things must be spiritually discerned." :"
Is not that pathetic. We stand before
some great painting. some mass or
architecture, or hold little master
piece of literature No outside help
can reach us. We may learn all there
is to know about each, historically and
technically, yet we are told that unless
the mind possesses emotional suscep-
tibility and we have felt, we do not
know these as art.

Sweet Young Thing
Deserts Typewriter
And Operates Farm

REGINA, Sask., Oct. l4.-When
Miss May Hazlett sat in a Regina Of
flee and played scherzos in G minor
on her typewriter all day long she
was looked upon as sweet young
thing
She and her brother had come from
England. He had bought q farm and
she had found work as q stenographer,
When the war came he went overseas
as soldier and was killed at Vimy
Ridge. He left his farm to his sister.
Miss HaZlett's friends advised her to
stick to her typewriter and sell her
farm. Sc was only sweet young
thing, they said, and it would be
folly for her to try to run a farm. Miss
Hazlett sold her typewriter and moved
out on her farm. Proving that sweet
young things are not always what
they seem.
She knew nothing about farming, but
that made no difference. She learned.
She has lived all alone on her farm
for four years now, hiring the work
done. She had one hundred acres in
grain this year and harvested 80 bush
els of wheat to the acre. Her pure
bred herds of cattle and sheep are
her especial pride. Her farm is in
Touchwood Hills. She is now what
might be called well off.
She passed through Regina recent
ly and visited the office where, as q
sweet young thing, she played scher-
zos in G minor on a typewriter. She
admitted without the quiver Of an
eye-lash that she was on her way to
England to marry her girlhood sweet
1eart. She plans to bring her husband
back to the farm where she says, they
will live happily ever after.
IF 1 had been content to remain
sweet young thing" said Miss Hazlett.
Il should be pounding typewriter to-
day. There is some sort Of success
waiting for every woman who will
forget the myth Of woman's helpless
ness, make up her mind definitely
what she wants to do and roll up her
sleeves and try with all her might to
do ~ "

A Famous Painting

We were told, while in a western
city Of a beautiful painting on its
way to the San Francisco exposition,
on exhibit at a given place. We went
TO see it and, one of many, stood
looking, thinking, touched beyond ex.
preston. An exquisite voice possessed
Of q pathetic quality, sang Calvary
from Victrola, Christ in Gethse-
name. The burdens of the world, its
sin and sorrow, bowed those shoulders.
The posture OF the Goldman resolved
itself into pathos supreme. An elo-
quent sermon was delivered, silent,
telling. The mute abandonment Of de.
spair, submission, alone in Gethse-
name, save for the Father. Look on
that painting and turn away with an
atom Of doubt?

 MT Lloyd George called meeting Of the committee unexpectedly today in his room at the house of commons. On this occasion Lord Birkenhead replaced Aus ten Chamberlain as the second govern- ment member. This may have been on account of MT Chamberain's being too closely engaged in his duties as leader of the house. or because of the necessity of discussing some point of a legal charac- ter

The loan would be repaid in kind. repayment to begin in 1925 and extend over fxet period. the report said
 | Another recommendation was for for nation under export trade acts of ar association of American manufacturers of agricultural machinery to supply Rus sia with s5Oooooo 900 worth of such pro ducts as a commercial enterprise.

FACIAL SURGERY FOR
 DISFIGURED FACES

Philadelphia, Oct -Disfgured or mained faces may be restored to their original appearance h facial surgery, the American College of Surgeons was told last night by pr. Vilray P. Blair of St. Louis.
 Declaring that a great field confronts surgeons in face reconstruction work, Dr. Blair said that the methods user are similar to those of the sculptor who con- ceives in clay or the tailor who cuts the cloth, adding that he employed an artist who worked continuously with plaster casts.
 His method, he said. was to make a plaster cast of the condition of the face then build the desired feature-nose, cheek or even eye. socket-in clay; re- cast the entire face in plaster; then press tinfoil over the wanter features to ob- tain a pattern. Soft tissue or cartilage is then grafted from the thigh or chest sewed on and allowed to heal. These op- erations have been successful, declared Dr. Blair, in cases where the entire halt of a face afflicted by cancerous growth | had to be destroyed.
