This was fol- lowed by a short address by the 1eeve, Mr. W. 8. Gordon, when the Last Post was sounded and the gathering dispersed. QUALITY BRINGS PREMIUM Any farmer in the least de- groe skeptical of the real value of quality in his produce attract- ing real interest on the part bf the consumer needs only to visit a city like Montreal, stroll along St. Catherine St., particularly in the dusk of early evening, and watch the eager crowds admire striking window displays of poul- try, meat, butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables and canned goods, all graded "and displayed to show ex- cellence of quality as marked by government grades. This is the season when poultry holds the centre of attraction, and no far- mer or poultryman cbuld fail to get enthusiastic were he to see the evident quality and finish of "A" grade poultry (and the price tags on them) or to see the num- ber of really ine birds which pass over the counter in the better stores of the busy sh'hpping dis- tricts. Quality not only brings a premium but also develops de- mand. Feed your stock to a finish and cash in on quality.--Federal Dept. of Agriculture. Then, on the other hand, a bache- lor's life is just one darned thing af- ter another.--Boston Transcript. New York, -- The Blickling Homilies, a famous Anglo-Saxon manuseript and one of the great- est English historic-literary trea- sures not owned by the British Museum and other public insti- tutions, was exhibited recently at the American Art Assbeiation Anderson Galleries where it will be sold some time in January, This tenth century collection of sermons and improving tales is a part of the Lothian Library of an- cient books | and manuscripts which the Marquis of Lothian, more widely known as Philip Kerr, has decided to sell at auc- tion in this country. Lord Lothian, who is a member of the MacDon- ald Government, caused, by his decision to sell his library out- side of England, more than the standard fuss and stir in the Brit- ish press which follows such an- nouncements, He was attacked on two grounds; first, for failing to give the British Museum and other national institutions the first chance to acquire some of his treasures, and second, for his implied opinion that New York was a better book and man- useript mart than London. The old Book of Homilies is not much to look at. It is a thing for scholars to dote over. It was written within a century after King Alfred started the move- ment to translate pious classics and bobks of instruction into the vernacular. Odd Literary Style Experts in Anglo-Saxon or old English place the book, from its literary style, somewhere between Alfred (848-900) and Aelfric (956-1020). I was written in the English idiom before the con- quest poured French and Latin words into Engligh. Before the conquest, however, the Anglo- Saxon tongue had picked up words from the Latin dialect which was still spoken in English cities after the Anglo-Saxon con- quest and from the ecclesiastical use of Latin, No other Anglo-Saxon manu- script of great importance, it is asserted, is known to exist in pri- vate hands anywhere, and it is claimed that no American private or public. library owns a single page of Anglo-Saxon. The Blickling Homilies is a small book consisting of 149 leaves of vellum. The tough old sheepskin and the Ink used by the ancient monks, who wrote it, had stood the test of nine and a half centuries very well, Some of the leaves were warped and dark- ened a little and part of the text a little worn, but it was generally in good condition. It has a per- sonality. As it was taken from a large steel safe recently and rev- erently handled, it seemcd to be charged with a power to stir race memory and the sense of the past. There is a scent of history about it a feeling of the tenth century faintly msserting itself in the twentieth. The volume contains 19 edify- ing narratives and exhortations to piety. The style is described by John 8, Westlake as standing "midway between the style of Al- fred and that of Aelfric; it is more developed than _the ° one, more primitive than the other; it is rude, vehément, homely; the syntax is clumsy and the vocabu- lary often archaic." Economical Mayors The writing is in at least two hands. The volume belonged for more than three centuries, it is said, to the City of Lincoln, The economical mayors and sheriffs of Lincoln cut their stationery bills by scribbling records bf their nominations on its margins. The second item in importance is an ancient Psalter written in Latin on 88 pages with Iinter- lineations in several hands both in Anglo-Saxon and in Latin, The earliest of the annotations is as- cribed to the ninth century and written im red. One set of pious comments between the lines runs from the eleventh to the ninth century. The Psalter then seems to have been allowed two centur- les of idleness, when it fell into the hands of others with the itch for writing their own reflections in their books. The volume i8 called the Lincoln Psalter be- cause it 18 also believed to have been the property of the City of Lincoln at one time. It has been conjectured that the, manuscript wag written at Canterbury. Third in importance is the beautifully illuminated Tykitt, or Tikyll Psalter, named after Bro- ther John Tykitt, who spent many years of his life on the work and died bef'ore it was completed. Ty- kitt was the prior of the Augus- tinian monastery of Wyrkesopp, now Radnor, in Nottinghamshire. Most of this volume gleams and flares with the gold cunningly uged hy the™monk in his illustra- tibns of the sacred text which ap- pear on every one of the first 90 'pages, Brother John worked about the year 1300 in the most glorious period of his art. The fine human figures seem as fresh ag if they had been painted yes- terday. . Key to SeCrets The text is bordered with a variety of intricate patterns in gold and color, microscopically wrought. By the accident of the monk's death' while the work was in hand, thé volume gives the key to many of the ancient illum- inatbr"s secrets, In some of the miniatures only the of gold has been laid. In others, the human figures have been part- ly outlined. In others the color- ing is half done. Other items include several royal bindings. One is a Sony 'of Tacitus, printed at Paris in 1574 which was bound and presented to Queen Elizabeth of England. It bears the royal arms of the dings are from e famous Queen and the famous mistress of Hen- r IL. of n th De ot of Fithote On erine Diane De Poitiers.

In the Lothian Collec- tion, Catherine De Medic! is rep- resented by a volume of Italian poems, Diane by her copy of De- cameron. Other items to be sold with the Lothian library are an {lluminat- ed manuscript of a French tran- slation of Boccaccio's '""De Casi- bus Virorum Illustrium," with two large paintings and fifty min- fature; an {illuminated manu- seript in French of St. Augus- tine's "City of God," its first min- faure being a fine portrait of Charles V. of France receiving the bbok from De Parelles, the translator. Among the other' important items are an illuminated manu- script of "Le Roman De La Rose," an early fifteenth century Boe- caccfo with stunning illustrations; the romance of "Florant and Flo- rete," said to be a unique manu- script of French chivalry. One of the early illuminated Bibles is the twelfth century Roy- al Bible which was kept as a fam- ily treasure of the Lothians and Blickling: House and brought forth on great state becasions for the autographs of visitors of im- portance. It contains the signa- tures of Wellington, Castlereagh, and King Edward VII. as Prince of Wales. RUSSIAN INVASION BEGUN BY FASHION Soviet Women Now Able to Buy Silk Stockings at High Price Moscow, -- Women of Soviet Kuesia no longer may be said to be without silk stockings. Although they still are diffi- cult to obtain and continue to be the most sought after article of clothing, silk stockings, never- theless are available at a price. That this Is true is evidence of the fact that Russian women rlowly but surely, are dressing Letter. A year ago the well-dressed woman encountered on the street or at the theatre either was a foreigner or one of the few for- tunate natives who had friends to bring her clothing from abroad; now one frequently meets well-tailored Russian wo- men, although they are far in the minority. Officially, fashions as they are known to their sisters abroad have no place in the lives of pre- sent-day Russians. Since the re- volution materials and money have been too scarce. Besides the "good Communist" scorns such '"Bourgeois" manifestations, holding that the women of New Russia have no time for such frills. There are no fashion mag- azines, no newspaper advertise- ments depicting the latest modes. But the feminine thirst for better clothing is indicated in the crowds which storm the swres devoted to such articles and await their turn to buy. Stockings, called "silk" but of which in reality are the arti- ficial variety, can ge bought when they are available for 18 rubles (about $9) upward. The coarser kinds sell for one ruble, 20 co- pecks up to 45 rubles. Hats bring from 10 rubles for the poorest, to 60 for the best; shoes 13.40 to 68; gloves. 12.50 to 80; dresses 7.75 to 200 and coats from 30 to 250. PSYCHOANALYSIS HMAN BEHAVIOR Montreal Doctor Advises People to Know Them. selves Better Montreal, Que., Nov, 23.--Hu- man natute is really a grand af- fair and instead of hiding it under a lot of sham and pretense, people should learn to build their lives goundly upon it, declared Dr. J. W Bridges, professor of abnormal psychology, McGill University, at a meeting of the Westmount Wo- men's Club here recently, Taking as his subject "Psychoanalysis as a Means of Understanding Human Rehavior," Dr. Bridges showed how it supplied the key to the ex- istence of the Puritan, the Latin temperament, the political-agita tor, the woman who suspects her husband of infidelity and the friend who 'forgets' to come to your party. While psychology had consider- ed man wholly as an intellectual reasoning human being, psychb- analysis had found him to be an irrgtional animal driven by in- stinots, emotions and desires and then creating 'reasons" to ex- plain his behavior, Dr. Bridges stated. As a result of these emo- tional drives he was often pulled in two directions at once and, in trying to harmonize them, be- came enmeshed in mental con- flict. Such conflict was very com- mon and when it became too diffi- cult it was tucked away into the' u fous or repr d Thus the soldier in a dangerous posi- tion feeling fear and wanting td carry on, repressed his fear; or the woman dreading a dull social engagement, put it out of her mind and for to go. Another discovery made by psychbanalysis was that people d their own emotions to r people, Dr. Bridges stated. They felt that those they loved, loved them; and those they hated, and her which he felt that the world hated bim. Again, he pointed out the common occurrence of the Rws- band, angry with hig office staff, who came home and was cross with his unoffending wife, Or again, the wife who suspected her husband of infidelity did so, either because she was unfaithful herself or because she had an un- conscious hankering to be. Psychoanalysis also explained political attitudes by the fact that people transferred emotions and attitudes from one object to another very easily. The boy whose instincts had been strong- ly curbed at home, hated his fa- ther as an inhibiting agent. When he went to school he carried this antagonism to authority to his teacher and later transferred it to all law and order, becoming a political agitator. So the conser- vative was the child who had adored his parents and not ob- jected to their disciplines, or he might be the person who had never overcome the childhood fear of and aversion to the dis- turbance of change. While it was these fundamen- tal embtional urges that deter- mined adult behavior, it was not the socially acceptable thing to admit this fact and people instead gave all sorts of plausible, but untrue, explanations for their re- ligious beliefs, their pblitical ten- ets, and their professional inter- ests, Dr.' Bridges averred. "We should know ourselves better," sald Dr. Bridges, "for the more that is brought into con- sciousness, the mre can be con- trolled, We must accept ourselves and not kick against the pricks. If we have' certain elements of the tiger and the ape we must ac- cept them---they are rather fine things and it is wrong to think they are undesirable, We must also accept our limitations, And baving accepted ourselves we must build upon that foundatfon and be ourselves." CANADA PLAYS PART IN ARGTIG Polar Year Will Be An Im- portant One for Gov- ernment Ottawa, Nov. 23.--Canada next summer will send three of 11 expe- ditions into the north country which will carry on meteorological, mag- netic and other observations in con- nection with the "Second Interna- tional Polar Year" for the record- ing and co-ordinating of Arctic and Antarctic data which scientists be- lieve will bé useful in forecasting na- tural conditions which arise more temperate zones of the earth's surface, In the northern half of the en- terprise five of the special observa- tories will be established on Cana- dian territory within or bordering on the Arctic Circle. Countrits besides Canada which have signified their intentions of participating in the various expedi- tions are Great Britain, France, the United States, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Italy and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. The "First Polar Year" was launched 'in 1882 and expeditions re- mained in the field until 1883, sec- curing much of the information on which modern navigation and mete- orology is based. Next year, just 50 years after the start of the first venture, stations occupied by parties 50 years ago will be re-occupied as far as possible and a number of new stations will be established to make the work as comprehensive as pos- sible. John Patterson, director of the Dominion Meteorological Service at T oronto, who has been occupied for some time assisting in drawing up the preliminary details of the scheme, will organize the three Ca- nadian expeditions which the Dom- inion Department of Marine will send to Chesterfield Inlet, on the west shore of Hudson Bay; to Cop- permine, on Coronation Gulf and to DODDS "KIDNEY ton, Alta, The total cost of equip= ping and maintaining these expedi= tions 'in the field for the 14 months they will be away will be between $40,000 and $50,000. The person- nel of the Canadian expedition will number about ten men. Great Britain will maintain a sta- tion at Fort Rae on Great Slave Lake. A privately financed expedi- tion from the United States will be established at Fort Conger, on Lady Franklin Bay, only 600 miles from inl Meanock, 75 miles north of Edmon- | the pole.
