For 30 years Gawley has made these hands, though the v/ork is slow an. tediouii. In hia little machine shop in Meaford, where he has managed to make a living, he works day and night, unaided. He works with only common tools, including a small drill, and finds it necessary to "fit" ev<-y hand for seldom 'jrc there two alike Tourists and visitoi-s at Gawley's little workshop stand and gaze fr>- hours at the "impossible" things ho can do, from lifting and drinking frorr the most fragile piece of China to .splitting wood and pulling an engrine apart. Gawley has a powerful grip with both hands, and has been known to lift more deadv/eight than the man with ordinary arms. He is a mecli- anic by trade, and he will attenim any job. For the past fifteen years he has repaired lawiriiowers, bicycles, en- gines, ;'.;id all sorts of r.ia':hinery. Hi., "steel hands" arj simple, with fiv strong grips of different degrees ol pov;t-T. He can crush a stone to powder, b'-eak wire, tie his shoe lac -s. dress himself, r-nd eat with knife a.-..-! fork. He is as speody with his work p any skilled mechanic. He can re< spoke a bicycle wheel and insert the hub in less than thirty minutes. He has taken a motorcycle apart and put it together again. He can drive a motorcycle as well as a motor car, and frequently rides a bicycle. He can write with pen or pencil, and boasts of a good handwriting style. Gawley's father, who died four years ago, was blind for more than fifty years and never saw his son. Gawley finds time in summer to jro out on Georgian Bay for pleasure trips. He starts and operates a gasoline launch alone, catches and lands a trout, brings it home, and cooks it. He said before leaving for Chicago he had been swamped with lettars from all over the North Ameri.an Continent from persons who have lost their arms. Most of the letter-writ- ers ask about the cost of th» hands; others want to know if the published stories of Gawley's accomplishments are true. Increduloos photofraphers have visited him. Gawley receives them all pleasantly, and is proud he can earn his ov/n living. If he re- mains at Chicago he hopes to do more for humanity.

Oawley, "the man \«ith the steel hands," left for the Chicagro Century of Progress Exposition to- day, after reconsidering an offer he turned down a week aeo. Oawley will interview officials of the organization seeking his services and is expected to remain at the Ex- position making steel hands for un- fortunate persons similarly afflicted as himself. Gawley, whose name and feats of dexterity with his steel hands, be- came widely known when the story of his accomplishments was published a few weeks ago, fell across a whirling buzz-saw when 17 years old. His arms were severed between the elbow and wri.st. iWhile he suffered in the hospital he planned the "steel hands" â€" hands that could do nlmost everything human hands could perform. After h- left the hosnital his blind father and himpelf worked for weeks and .succeeded in cutting, grinding and filing the "hands" from hard steel. Since then Gawley has made PASTURE TO LET Would take in a number of cattle to pasture. â€" Claude Akins, Flesher- ton. CAR FOR SALi: U12G model T Ford coupe in good condition.
