ATKINS ** Brtsh COLUMBIA s only a long TFagon road, wth a gold mne at one end artd a seapôrt at or/^ wrote a clever f bored Brton of early col- onal days; aptly phrasng absence of settlement between Vctora and Wl- lams Creek, Carboo, where at latter place, ^ Carboo Cameron was rasng from hs shafts an almost week- ly small fortune n gold. Of all early mners n Carboo no one was so wdely known, more representatve of ts spectacular wealth, than John A. Cameron, and hence hs sobrquet of ^Carboo. Yet, on word of hs earlest partner, recently deceased, Robert Stevenson, of Sards, B.C., ths man had to be helped and urged to wonderful dscovery whch made hm rch and famous wthn sx months. John A. Cameron and hs wfe, Sopha, landed at Vctora, B.C., n March, They had come by Pan-.ama, way of so many poneers, and r mecca was, lke most' of that tme, golden gravels of creeks of Carboo. Ther funds were feeble, and t s doubtful f y ever would have got re had not Robert Steven- son, also an Ontaro Glengarran, se- cured for Cameron a credt advance of 2. Through ths par reached Wllams Creek n July of that year. Pror to 1862, all wealth of Wl- lams Creek had come from above canyon; and n, amdst wldest rdcule, Wllam Barker, a Cornsh- man after whom Barkervlle s named), started to delve below t. T^rough at one tme Barker s fortune was counted n dollars by hundreds of thousands, hs funeral took place, Frday, July 13, 1894, from Old Men s Home, Vctora, B.C. It was easy come, easy go wth Barker, as wth Wllam Detz (after whom Wl- lams Creek s named), and hundreds of or poneer dggers n those days of gold. Followng Barker, below canyon, Aurora Company was next to strke pay; Vnd n lower than any, and urged to venture by Stevenson, Cameron clam waa staked, August 22, The dggngs were aeep, ffty to eghty feet, but roused by reports of success above, Cameron worked lke a horse to reach pay-drt n hs own shaft. But he was poor t was not a one-man en- terprse and when he struck gold streak, group of clams were held by seven partners: John A. and Sopha Cameron, Robert, Stevenson, Rchard Rvers, Allan McDonald and Charles and James Clendennng, and ste of r success was called, courteously, Camerontown. Gold was struck December 2, 1862, and lo and behold! t was wealth beyond.dreams of avarce. But, and ths s tale, at what a prce to after peace and comfort of Carboo Cam- eron was ths treasure tremendous un- covered f Was re a curse on t was tanted, or what? Read ths tale and say what t was that fol- lowed t, f you can. But, frst, what was extent of ths wonderful wealth? In October, 1863, Vscount Mlton and Dr. Cheadle (see r North- west Passage by Land, page 354), on r vst to Carboo, met on road a small bollock wagon, escorted by about twenty men on foot. Ths proved to contan 63 pounds weghj of gold, profts of a Mfr. Cameron, prncpal shareholder n noted Cameron clam. Ths gold, worth about 3, (15,) had been amassed n short space of three months, and represents probably less, than one- half actual producton of mne durng that tme. These vstors spent ten days n Wllams Creek, and Mr. Steele, n representng absent Cameron, showed m company s books. The yeld averaged from 4 to 112 ounces of gold per day,per shaft, and re were three shafts. One hundred feet of Cameron clam, n name of anor man, produced 12,. A hundred or testmones to wealth found by Carboo Cameron could be produced here, but let Mlton and Creadle s evdence suffce. Ths story s not so mucll concerned wth Cameron s success as wth tragedy t brought hm. Few Marred Women, There When Sopha Cameron accompaned her husband to Carboo, though t held some 5 souls, marred women were less n number tljan dgts of one s hand. It was a womanless laud; and untl great road was completed t practcally remaned so. She, poor soul, never lved to see t come to Camerontown; when she went back over what was fnshed of t, t was n her coffn. She never lved to see golden stream that her husband had won from Wllams Creek poured nto her lap. And when she ded, October 22, 1862, no woman was re to shroud her; only two men, her hus- band and Robert Stej^enson; and she asked m f gold was struck that she be bured among her an folk n far-off Ontaro. Cameron went wld; though before her death he had worked lke a dozen men, now he was lke one possessed, and never dd drt fly as t dd n. And, at last! at last! re t was; treasure of ages n hoard upon hoard. But t gave hm no joy t was but as taste of ashes n mouth. The wfe of hs bosom; who had shared wth more patence, even n sckness, all hardshps, trals and ; lonelness of that womanless land, was not re to share reward. One can magne man, who loved her dearly, cursng gold; cursng hmself for hs craze to reach t; cursng, because ts fever had, per- haps, prevented hs takng her out long before to where she could have got gentle woman s care and com- pany, and so, perhaps, have saved her lfe. What Sopha ded of s not qute clear; some sad mountan fever and some sad smallpox, for t was plague- perod, and Indans were dyng lke fles;, lyng dead where y had lan down lvng. And, later, some sad somethng shamefully worse. They sad she was not dead at au; that Cameron had sold her, to an Indan chef to get money for hs mnes, and that rude coffn n whch she had been placed n an solated cabn- pt untl she could be carred out to Vctora was really full of gold dust. And ths baseless le got even nto some newspapers of perod. It plunged Cameron nto even deeper dstress than he already felt and drove deeper ron of jer loss nto hs soul. It took four funerals for poor Sopha to quet that cruel le, and Robert Stevenson attended three. ]f he could do no more, all that gold could do to meet hs wfe s last wsh, to prove hs attachment or was t (re- morse) and to quell t of calumny, unhappy Cameron dd. The frst rough funeral was held n Carboo, October 25, When gold was reached, Cameron resolved to frst make t pay respect to hs wfe s memory. He offered 12 a day and a bonus of 2 n gold to anyone who would help hm take her coffn to Vc- tora. Up to last mnute no one offered, untl seeng hs dstress, Robert Stevenson ( man afrad of nothng Indans called hm), volunteered to go, as he was about to set out alone, but not for gold. It was a terrble trp; 4 mles, 4 below zero, dead Indans along way, and t took m thrty-sx days. They started January 31, 1863, and at second provsonal funeral of poor Sopha at Vctora, B.Ç., on March 8, 1863, se two brave men.were agan her only mourners. She rested re only untl November 7, when a shp from Vctora could take her re- mans to Panama, and nce for bural at Cornwall, Ontaro, amongst her own people, about Chrstmas, tme, That was Stevenson s thrd trbute to memory of poor Sopha. It cost Cameron a fortune to carry out, her wshes and those of her rela- tves, but he counted cost as dross, so great was hs fortune, so much greater hs mstfortune. But ghost of poor Sopha was not yet stlled; her weary bones were not yet rested. Once more y had to be lfted to quell calumny regardng r dentty; and, perhaps, too, to satsfy soul of her husband, for even n death he wshed her near, (Contnued on Page 5) -o * Alexandra Lve Slock Shppng Club Prces on cattle held farly steady, wth excepton of heavy steers, whch were about a quarter, lower.

THEINGLëNëüK (By G. Watt Smth M.A., D.D.) A woman Md leaven n tlree measures of meal. Ths s how Lord Jesus descrbes process of kngdom of heaven as t makes ts way among men. It s a remarkable thng that Jesus used ths language. He was lvng n a Jewsh land and was famlar wth all ts customs and prevalng deas. Every passover was begun by a systematc hunt for merest scrap of leaven that t mght be east forth as an un- clean thng unworthy of any place n a home whch was to be devoted to exercses of worshp. If perchance any aton of t dd escape attenton and fell nto a vessel contanng food that supply was wasted. Jesus does not hestate to lken kngdom of heav- en to ths hated, dreaded thng. Every boy had seen process of leavenng n days when re was no ban put upon t. He knew how, by some means, re were many bubbles formed and that by some process y left open spaces n bread when t was baked. Leaven has somethng to do wth empty. Yet Jesus does not hestate to use ths fgure about Hs own kngdom. It s only about three centures ago that a scentst dscovered real na- ture of leaven; he found out, by ad of a mcroscope he had made hm- self, that t conssts of a number of partcles. Last century anor scen- tst added furr knowledge that leaven s somethng lvng, whch mult- ples and n process of ts mult- plcaton takes possesson of more and more terrtory. It goes on multply- ng untl t has leavened whole lump. What was dead ths lvng thng makes alve. It s not a dead, objec- tonable thng, but a lvng, desrable and necessary thng. What nsght Jesus had to truth of thngs. So gospel of kngdom s a lvng thng whch multples untl t permeates everythng t can reach. Its processes are quet, but very effectve. In one aspect of ts lfe t meets wth enemy whch sows tares n nght among good seed; n anor t has to contend wth thorns and poor sol; but ths s also true that t pro- ceeds wth ts sure vtalsng busness untl t has won all terrtory of humanty. Three measures of meal, says our Lord. >^cholars have told us tlat Ho had n mnd three dvsons of world of Hs day, Jewsh, Greek and Roman. It s too soon yet to clam that leaven has per- meated all se races, to brng m nto a complete subjecton to pow- er and sprt of gospel. But t s not too soon to say that two out of three are alve today only n so far The Councl of Townshp of Charlottenburgh met at Wllamstown, March 18th, 1925, at 1 a.m. All members present.

We would lke to have whole hearted support of communty n general n ths undertakng. A Man Frnm Glengarry ^ (Toronto Globe) Anthony Marsell, who would have been a century old on Aprl 12, ded on hs farm near Iroquos ths week. He has left hs mark on records of country, for he was orgnal of The Bos^ of Ottawa n Ralph Connor s celebrated story, The Man From Glengarry. Readers wll rem- ember famous fght, n open^ ng pages of book, between rval gangs of lumberjacks headed by Mur- phy and Macdonald. Black Hugh Macdonald s fatally njured, and hs son, Ranald, The Man From Glen- garry, takes up feud, and n ensues struggle between hs desre for revenge and mpulses of hs better nature. In end he saves: lfe of hs. adversary, and deal- sm trumphs. Anthony Marsell s early lfe was lke a page from story of Ot- tawa Valley, for t was crowded wth hardshp, adventure and romance. For more than a quarter-century he was known throughout length and breadth of lower Ottawa and St. Lawrence dstrcts as a capable, hardy lumberman, and facts of hs lfe, whch were drawn upon by no- velst, would make a story of note, wth ts rver feuds, plots, battles and frendshps among prmtve men of hs class. Ralph Connor hm- self was a man from Glengarry, and hero of hs story, Ranald Macdon- ald, was hs own far, wth hs gen- tle, wholesome character. Lfe on Ottawa has changed much as lumberng moves farr and farr nland to remanng for- ests. E. W. Thomson contrbuted to ts records n hs narratve poem of Peter Ottawa, and n famous burlesque fght n short story, Old Man Savarn, n front of Tou- gal Stewart s store. Many of wealthy famles of Ottawa owe r poston to lumber ndustry, and long after mlls snk nto decay records of adventurers of her- oc mould who felled orgnal for- ests wll be treasured nsong and story. as y have been leavened by gospel of Chrst, and t would be no great stretch of magnaton to add thrd. We shall look at ths nterpretaton anor day. On W ednesday evenng Ontaro Better Lve Stock Tran pulled out from Parkdale on ts way east on a journey of nstructon that wll cover an eght weeks run through eastern and norrn Ontaro.

Hemp..Inte and Klax Strength of Manlla Rope Short, bong and Sde Splces Rope Halters Are Strongest. tcoutrldmeo by OntHro Oepsrtment ot Agrculture. Toronto.) Rope for stock halters, hay fork and gra n slng equpment, tyng of anmals or materals, hosts or boldng s used on every farmstead. A knowledge that wll enable farm boy to te quckly varous knots and htches wll save much tme and reduce possblty of accdent on all operatons where rope s used. The ablty to quckly splce a broken hay fork rope at tme when t Is most needed wll save hay, tme and trouble. Rope Materal. Rope Is made of varous materals such as cotton, hemp, manlla fbre, jute and flax. The rope most fvo- (fuently used on farm s made from hemp, mported from Manlla. Common rope s generally composed of three or four strand. The fomrstrand rope s stronger than three-strand of equal dameter. Strength of Manlla Rope. The safe load for varous dameters of manllla (three-strand) rope Is about One-sxth of actual breakng load. For three-strand manlla rope of one nch dameter safe load Is under 1, pounds, whle breakng load Is nearly 6,6 pounds. Half-Inch rope shquld not be subjected to a load greater than 23 pounds f t s to last and gve servce. The breakng strength of half-nch' manlla rope s 1,62 pounds. A three-quarter nch rope can be expected to carry 625 pounds as a safe load, or 3,6 pounds wth very great rsk to both materal and operator. Rope should not be used over small pulleys Or runs f t s to last and gve good servce. Many of hay fork pulleys used are less than eght Inches In dameter, and are very hard on rope, causng heavy stran, wear and early destructon. Tar applcatons to rope, whle Increasng rope s resstance to wearng, reduces strength about twenty-fve per cent. Rope should be kept dry. The Short Splce. The short splce s of great servce. It Is quckly made and strong. The weavng of strands of two threestrand ropes toger n form of a splce Increases dameter at pont of repar to extent of makng ths type of splce objectonable If rope s to be run over pulleys. To make a short splce, unravel ends of two peces of rope that It Is desred to splce or ffteen Inches If rope Is one nch n dameter, or less f workng on a smaller rope. After unravellng wrap ends of strands to prevent m untwstng. Brng strands toger by tyng by pars wth an overhand knot, strands from opposte ends of ropes beng Joned by splce. Thlsxdone, work 1s completed by weavng strands nto rope n both drectons, usng a fld or a tapered and ponted wooden pn to open strands. The free ends are passed under every or strand for a dstance of sx or eght nches each way from centre of spllçe. Ths done remanng ends of strands are cut off and work completed. The long Splce. Ths type of splce s used where It Is desred to make a unon of two peces of rope and stll retan nearly same dameter at splce. A long splce n a three-strand rope wll be composed of not more than four strands at any one pont, and length of unon s very mbch greater than In short splce. To make a long splce count oft sxteen turns from ends to be splced and mark by tyng wth a strong twne. Unlay rope ends down to pont of tyng and force ends toger to begn splce. Develop It furr by unlayng one strand from each rope end and fllng n wth one of loose strands. Ths accomplshed, three of loose strands wll be much shorter than formerly, and ends can be woven nto rope as wth short splce and unon developed. The strand ends can n be cut off af^ tucked n out of way, leavng a long smooth splce. he Sde Splce. ' The sde splce s frequently useful where t s desred to Jon two ropes of same or dfferent, sxes. It s extensvely used n halter makng. Ths splce should always be made so that pull s n same drecton as splced n rope strands. Rope Halters. Ro^e halters of varous types and sxes can be easly made by any handy farm boy. The rope halter has advantage of greater strength over halters made from lear or cotton web. The cost of hmne-made rope halter Is very low purchase cost of rope f work of makng Is done on wet or stormy days. l. Stevenson, Dept, of Extenson, O. A.

MANY SOILS NEED LIME YIEDl) ON DIME A.ND PHOSPHATE PLOTS WAS «% OREATEIt. Re*<ult.s of Expermenf.s (Carred Out Durng Two Past Seasons In Several Dfferent Countes. (Contrbuted by Ontaro Departnent ol Agrculture, Toronto.) Lme and phosphate experments were planned by Chemstry Department of Ontaro Agrcultural College to determne effect of lme and acd phosphate on wheat and succeedng crop of clover. Each experment conssted of four one-half acre plots. The experment was started n autumn of 1922 when three experments n each of followng countes were undertaken: Haldmand, Norfolk, Wentworth, Brant, Lncoln, Haton, Elgn and Welland. The fertlzers and lme were appled Vmmedately before seedng ground wth wheat. It was not expected that lme would Influence crop of wheat but t was appled to see ts nfuence on clover followng wheat. When wheat was harvesteo In 1923 t was found that on plots recevng lme and acd phosphate yeld was 64 per cent, greater than on check plots. In autumn of 1923, three experments were lad down In each of eght countes, extendng west and east of orgnal eght. When plots n sxteen countes were harvested In 1 924, t was found that plots where lme and acd phosphate had been appled yelded 45 per cent, more than check plots. The clover was harv>ested from plots started m autumn of 1922, and gave a yeld of (jlover on lmed plots forty per cent, greater than yeld on check plots. The clover yeld on tbe lme and phosphate plots was sxty per cent, greater than It was on check plots. The sol of plots n se sxteen countes all showed a shortage of lme when taken over by Department. Durng autumn of 1924 work was extended to three or farms n each of eght addtonal countes. The results to date ou lme phosphate experments are very.nterestng and show that wthout doubt lme may be appled wth proft for clover and that acd phosphate may be used wth proft on wheat. Dept, of Extenson, Ontaro Agrcultural College. Saltng Tests. There s some dffrence of opnon as to wher salt s, or s not, a butter preservatve. Tests were made at. A. C. Dary Department comparng butters made from same cream, pasteurzed, to one lot of whch no salt was added, n or lots salt content was.946, 1.69 and 2.9 per cent. The lots of butter were held In cold storage In 1 pound boxes for sx months at temperature of 12 P. It was scored by Provncal Butter Grader at end of 1, 3 and 6 months perods. The lots havng no salt averaged hgher n flavor score when fresh and were practcally same at end of 1, 3 and 6 months, and a lttle hgher wth one excepton than salted lots throughout - holdng perod. In se tests salt apparently had no preservatve effect on butter. Hgh saltng no doubt njures qualty of butter when fresh and Is no advantage when t s to kept n cold storage. Most Canadan markets requre some salt In butter, but demand Is for less salt than formerly. At no tme should butter contan over 2.6 per cent, of salt. Dary Notes. Mlk Is such a pershable food that measures should be taken to preserve It In good condton for at least 36 to 48 hours after It Is drawn from cow. Pasteurzaton, whch ncludes coolng and holdng at a reasonably low temperature, preferably below 6 P, are two thngs necessary and practcable at reasonable cost. Where mlk s held at 6 to 7 P., whch s ordnary house temperature, Dealers raw mlk wll not reman sweet for more than 12 hours, whereas If pasteurzed It wll lkely be qute ft for table use up to 24 or 3 hours holdng. If kept at 5 P. pasteurzed mlk wll reman In good condton for 48 hours or longer. Prof. H. H. Dean, Dary Dept., O. A. College. Buttermlk. ' The lactc acd organsms n buttermlk make t a very valuable food.

Hese Are Ponts Whch Should Receve Attenton am 'Hs Artcle Tells What to Look For t nder Each of These Reads. (Contr;kntp 5 hy Ontaro Ponrtment of Agrculture. Toronto.) When a man s n need of dary cows and goes out to search for anmals that are lkely to be proftable to hm re are a number of thngs to be kept n mnd. A cow s a cow, but comparatvely few are real hgh producng 'proftable cows. The purchaser should dfeptnd on hs own Judgment, and not on statements of owners unless such statements are backed up by carefully kept records of producton. ' '' Cows wth 'dary temperament have thn necks, sharp wrs, promhent vertebrae, nps and pn bones; thn ncurvng thghs and a general body conformaton that s wedgeshaped DO matter from what angle t s vewed. Dary temperament s also assocated wth alertness, marked, actvty, and lack of all coarseness n Indvdual. Cows wth "feed capacty show plenty of room or mddle for storage of feed. They are long and deep between shoulder and hp, long faces, wde foreheads, broad muzzle, and large Jaw wth full welldeveloped salvary glands. Cows wth "consttuton and vgor are wde through heart regon, have a bg strong heart, a strong crculaton of blood to all parts of body. Ths condton s usually reflected n healthy condton of har, oly secretons of hde and well-developed, promnent vens on under sde of abdomen and on Udder, face and neck. Consttuton and vgor s also shown n large brght eyes, large nostrls and a general alertness.

Stevenson, Dept, of Extenson, O. A. College. Hgh and Low Testng MUk Compared Wth Mxed Mlk. The queston has been rased as to wher mlk wth varyng fat content when mxed, as s don at cheese factory; would gve results that average between hgh and low testng lots made up separately, as s done wth expermental testng. Four tests were made by dvdng lota of mlk as delvered to O.A.C. Dary Department from farms surroundng Guelph, between two vats, one of whch tested hgh n fat and or comparatvely low. Each vafv.contaned 45 pounds of mlk. From each 15 pounds were taken and mxed n a thrd vat. Altoger 1,2 pounds of mlk were used In each lot. The average perjcentages of fat In mlk were 3.'85, 8.27 and 3.55, The yelds of cheese per 1, pounds of mlk were, respectvely 12.6, and The oretcal yeld of mxed lots s pounds of cheese whch s wthn one pound of actual. Ths dfference s accounted for by dfferences n mosture content of cheese, dfference n shrnkage and In losses due to handlng mlk, curd and cheese. The average scores of cheese were 88.48, and respectvely for hgh, low and mxed lots, Indcatng that n opnon of expert Judge re was not much dfference In qualty of cheese. Concluson. These tests show that mxed lots of mlk contanng varyng percentages of fat are lkely to yeld cheese averagng farly closely to what would be obtaned f lots were made separately nto cheese. Sweet Clover Butter. The tests made n butter-makng durng 1924 wth mlk from cows pasturng on sweet clover was conducted wth mlk from farms where sweet clover was only pasture. The butter was made n small lots In Farm Dary at O. A. College and was scored by Offcal Butter Grader for Provnce. As In or years no flavor could be detected n mlk, cream or butter whch mght be atu buted to sweet clover eedng. Fve lots of butter were made altoger, one from raw cream churned sweet, one from raw cream rpened w*th a culture, one rpened wthout culture, one from pasteurzed cream to whch culture was added and n rpened. These condtons cover practcally all that are lkely to be met wth on farm or at creamery. The butter was held In cod storage for two months before t was juoged, n order to allow any flavors to develop that mght be present. Sweet clover s a valuable pasture crop on dary farms and should not be condemned by cheese or butter manufacturers. Dept, of Extenson, O. A. College.

Mllons Have Been Entertaned Wth Charm and Art of Dancng Italy Home of Ballet Appearance In Amerca. For centures past mllons have been entertaned wth charm and art of dance. Dance has gven peoples of all natons more Joy than poetry, m,usc, sculpture, lterature, pantng or drama, and whle t has not always been approved t s accepted by every class and creed. In books of early and later hstory we fnd that re never has been a naton, country, cty, town, vllage or hamlet wthout ts dance. Be t dance prmtve 'Egyptan, Greek, Chnese, Japanese, Russan, Spansh, Englsh, Irsh, Scottsh, Dutch, Indan, or mood relgous, funeral, joyous, suggestve, ts style Orental, Greek, characterstc or nterpretatve, dance ever has been or wll be wth us an outlet for sprtual and physcal emotons. Dance orgnated wth gods, so ancents beleved, who often descended from r realm to that of man to dance among r ntates. Donysus, god of vantage, who wth so generous a hand dspensed joy and folly, s god more than any of or dvntes oftenest referred to n our tme n connecton^ wth dance, though all-powerful Zeus, counsellor of gods, s represented by Anaeus as "movng gracefully through dancng throng. The frst dance was frequently n mtaton of anmals, beleved by early man to be hs ancestors and to have supernatural powers; dsgused as horses, pgs, cats, or hares, men and women took on movements of anmals personated and so became one wth m. The strrng and rustlng of tree s leaves, bowng and swayng of ts branches, or more volent movement of Btorm-tossed sea, sometmes queter rpples over blue, all called strangely to prmtve mnd and were fathfully mtated. The earlest reference to dance n Old Testament s Mram s, to celebrate crossng of Red Sea, but re Is menton of many ors dance around Golden Calf, Davd dancng before Ark, dance of Salome before Herod. In Egypt dancng was a vtal necessty to all ceremonals, and n ancent Greece not only was t held n great esteem, but n more honor than ttles by arstocracy. Indfference to dance was frowned on and every Spartan boy was oblged to know dancng. In Confucus tme t was of a processonal and mmetc qualty. Dance steps of all tmes are founded on natural movements walk, ran, leap and se, followng certan rhythm, are transformed nto dance. It was n ffth century, B.C., that dancng n Greece attaned heghts truly magnfcent. All world danced. But t was n too, that pnnacle had been reached. Prom ths tme on t became mor# sensuous, exaggeraton ruled; n obscene dancng made t a church dscusson and expulson followed. The ballet as t s known to-day, orgnated n Italy at tme of Roman Empre, and reached a perfecton that attaned for t hghest place n arts. Carne de Medc was sponsor to ballet n France, and some dea of ts popularty may be gared from a remark often made by one of greatest French dancers, Vestrs, that hmself, Voltare and Kng of Prussa were three greatest men n Europe. From France to Russa ballet travelled, found rch sol and flourshed, reached n some respects n ascendancy n th latter country that never has been Qualed n hstory of dance. It was a lovely, beautful, freedomlovng creature, wth healthy darng and courage, Isadcre Duncan, who blew frst breath of lfe nto dance art of ths contnent. Tramplng on prejudces, scornng prudery, she founded her technque or natural movements woven from fabrcs of freedom and spontanety, meltng m nto dances whch found r way nto hearts of people and thrlled very soul, transportng her audences to a plane where cares of to-day were not and those of to-morrow should not be. Her contrbuton to ths art s a vtal, lvng thng health-gvng seed that s necessary to all lfe. Followng Mss Duncan came ors, and n heraldng and advance of Russans Anna Pavlowa and Mkal Mordkn. Mordkn, who wth but two flyng or leapng bounds covered entre Metropoltan Opera House stage, lke a brd soarng at wll, untl fragle, llusve Pavlowa, nvted hm to ajght. Recently n Greenwch Vllage, says Aane C. Sullvan n New Vork Herald-Trbune, we saw a farhared young da^cer, Dmtr, who gave a program of unusual nterest. He possesses pose, subtle forcé, dramatc power, a jpystc sense of rhythm and creatve ablty that wth furr tranng, f I mstake not, wll make hm greatest dancer on Amercan stage. One dance number dvded nto four parts, s bult around lfe of Nero and dsplays soul development of mad Emperor.

3 THE GLENGARRY NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, WHAT S HIDING IN THE CLOSET Sopha K. Ormond, In Hoard s Daryman Many women are/now talkng about r Easter outfts. Some frends were sayng or day that y have even forsaken cross-word puzzles and have turned r attenton to equally puzz lng problem of creatng a new sprng wardrobe from clos of past seasons. Ths occupaton, y say, s qute as nterestng and more proftable than solvng cross-words. One of se women made so bold as to state that re was a complete wardrobe hdng n every woman s closet, and when she opened her coat and showed me a good" lookng blouse she made from an old skrt, I began to beleve t to be true. Then when I began to study style books, I decded that one may learn as many new words and names of colors from m as from solvng puzzles. There are ever so many new names for old and new materals, but thng most nterestng to me ' was that by far most popular materal s wool. _,That s so fortunate, especally n a clmate where sprngs are late and early summers apt to be cold. Slks are less popular and of ones most used are repps, bengalnes, and falles. The colors nclude almost every shade. Browns and blues are gong to be most popular f we may judge from colors selected by experts of Natonal Color Card Assocaton. After studyng styles and style books for nearly a week, (and I study m wth same enthusasm that I study beautfully colored seed catalogue) I went to see what could be acheved wth my own wardrobe. I got out all old thngs that were hdden avvay for some tme and next decded what y could be made nto.., Happly popularty of suspender dress solved one of my frst problems. There was an old blue jumper dress of 1922 vntage that needed mostly cleanng. Wthout rppng t apart, dumped t nto warm soapy water and washed and rnsed t good. Then I hung t uj) to drp and pressed t -whle t was stll damp. The materal looked almost as good as new. The next steps were taken to make t look a lttle more up-to-date. Frst thng belt was dscarded ; that helped some but t took a lttle study to dscover that arm holes needed to be cut lower. And to gve t newer look necklne had to be changed. It was a lttle rpund neck xvthout a collar wth a straght openng down front,exactly 14 nches deep. Ths openng was made fve nches wde and cut roundng at bottom. The edges were faced wth plan blue flannel. Orgnally dress was made of two straght peces of materal so lne's -were about rght and skrt was skmpy enough. Of course, t had to be hked up a lttle because skrts are agan short. It bad pockets but bad t not any I could have made some and put m on, or made lttle set-n pockets. I know re are many such dresses stll hdng n closets, because almost everybody had one of m. It wll take very lttle changng to make t look new, especaly f goods n t s stll of good color. If new suspender dress must be made from an old sut, t can be developed nto one of those nce wastcoat effect dresses If re s enough of sut left to make sleeves, t may have sleeves, or half sleeves of same materal, or t may be worn -wth a separate blouse. The tunc blouse -was anor lucky style that helped me to make use of some of old thngs. One was an old blue taffeta wth holes n t more from hangng around' than from wearng. There was enough good materal n t to make an underslp wth a front panel. From a pece of taupe satn I could make a tunc blouse. When dresswas fnshed,, I dpped whole thng nto some mdnght blue dye so materals would be same color when dress was fnshed. Ever so many combnatons are possble wth tunc blouse. The old strped tub slks of two and three years ago combned wth some contrastng materals would make a handsome combnaton that s as new 'as anythng that could be bought ths year. So would fgured voles or slks foulards or prnted georgettes. Strpes and checks can be combned wth plan materals, slks and kntted slks wth wool, lace -wth slk and vole, and dull surfaced mate al wth shny fnshes. Many of styles of two and three years ago need only smallest changes. A vole or foulard dress that stll has regulaton wast lne can be changed n appearance a great deal by addng a crcular collar wth a matchng panel. They are embrodered n whte, ecru, and colors on batste, organde, and lnen. Much lace s used. Many a seam can be covered up wth t or peces may be put toger wth t when pecng s necessary. Old lace dresses can be dyed and made nto lace tuncs wth or wthout sleeves.
