THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1933 Woman's Chatter... By MAIR M. MORGAN SPRING I have tried to refrain from burbling about the signs of 'Spring. However, most everyone is in the same mood and perhaps will appreciate and sympathize with another sufferer. Even if one ignores the weather--the steadily increasing heat of the gun's rays--or the pitter-patter of rain making the atmosphere warm and moist -- the crowds pouring forth from the office buildings here in Toronto positively shriek of the joyous season. Brilliant dabs of hats, colorful scarves, quick steps, chatter, smiles, grins, quick sharp laughter echoes from feminine twosomes and loud guffaws from masculine foursomes. Spring is again conducting the orchestra of human emotions. AN AMUSING TRUE STORY This tit-bit is going the rounds of London and evokes a chuckle and a half. An academic and absent-minded old Oxford don took duty for a clerical friend at a country church. After reading the Ten Commandments, he looked over his spectacles, apparently thinking he was in the examination hall, and remarked to the congregation: "Not more than five of these subjects should be attempted." A GOOD IDEA A new innovation in London has been started by the Countess Eileen de Armil. She calls it her "Happy Thought" luncheon. Every Tuesday, cheap luncheons, and every Sunday, cheap suppers, for lonely Londoners, at one of the restaurants. Quite an idea. ARTS AND HANDICRAFTS Recently the Manitoba Government appointed Miss Roman-thych of Dauphin, Manitoba, to oversee the preservation of the arts and handicrafts of the old world brought to Canada by those seeking a new home here. It is too often the case that newcomers, in the desire to become Canadians, allow the arts of making lace, hand-woven material, and rugs to lapse and choose the machine-made products. This is a shame and this province is to be congratulated on taking this step. BANKING SIMPLIFIED The Australian Banks are next on the list of congratulations. We understand the special women's departments in the head offices of trading banks are increasing in popularity. Women's banking departments are quite common in the United States, but only a few banks in Australia have adopted the practice so far. It is easy for a person not acquainted wtih banking customs to feel overawed when facing an army of tellers, ledger-keepers and clerks. The women's departments eliminate any embarrassment by handling the whole transaction at one counter. If she wants to send money out of Australia she need only say the word and the clerk prepares the necessary forms. If she intends to travel the clerk guides her steps through the intricacies of letter of credit to the travel department where she may book her passage. In short, all the little technicalities that are apt to worry the uninitiated are removed from her shoulders and while they are being attended to on her behalf she can retire to the lounge and enjoy the latest magazines and newspapers. If this hasn't been tried in Canada we might profit thereby. It would prevent numerous mistakes made by inexperienced women in handling their banking and checking accounts! BOOKS Sylvia Thompson has just written another book--"Unfinished Symphony" and after reading her "Summer's Night" I expected be pleased again with people of charming behavior. However, ■I wtjs disappointed. I suspect that the plot of this latest book has long been in her mind. It has been said that "comparisons are always odious" and in the case of "Unfinished Symphony" it is doubly true. The tale revolves around one Helena brought up by a disillusioned father, on a sunny isle in the Mediterranean. On the death of her father she is suddenly transplanted into the 1933 atmosphere of London. To my mind, Helena's lack of conventions is pitiable and the persons surrounding her who have learned to bow to life's demands of 1933 incite my keenest admiration. The study is worthwhile reading if only to see and appreciate one's own behavior. _ Toronto Girl Weds Dramatist Mr. and Mrs. Jo. Milward, after their wedding in St. James* Episcopal church.

Simple Bathing Garb Free Beauty Clinic Opened In Vienna General Hospital Vienna.--A free clinic for beauty operations has been established in the Vienna General Hospital. Approved cases among the unemployed and other destitute persons are treated free of any charge, while other patients have to pay moderate Interesting details of a visit to this new clinic are published in the Neue Freie Presse. One would-be patient asked that her nose to be shortened, explaining that she 'was about to be married and that her long nose was a serious obstacle to kissing. A plea for help in the opposite direction was made by a young man with an exaggeratedly turned-up nose. The doctor gave him a choice of a bridge of ivory or of a piece of bone taken from toe, shin or rib. These methods have superseded the use of paraffin and the The New Dentistry Which produces more physical deterioration, alcohol or defective teeth? Sir William Osier declared unhesitatingly: "Defective teeth." Sir William is called "perhaps the greatest physician of our time," by Dr. Leroy M. S. Miner, Dean of the Harvard Dental School, writing in The Harvard Graduates' Magazine. We get some idea of the serious situation when Dean Miner says that "competent authorities assure us that caries, tooth-decay, is to-day practically universal among the school children of the United States, and that pyorrhea affects the majority of the adults past mddle life." He goes to sketch this grave picture of the situation: "Dr. WTynne, New York Commissioner of Health, estimates that to give the dental treatment required by the children in the public schools of New York alone would cost $11,000,000 a year. "To deal with the problem for the whole country by the usual method of instrumentation, mouth by mouth and tooth by tooth, would be literally impossible. There is no enough money to do it and, if there were, there are not enough dentists. "The situation is like that presented in the past by other mass populatii diseases, such as malaria, typhoid, hookworm, yellow fever, and the like. Curative treatment becomes impracticable by reason of the sheer extent of the ailment and prevention must be sought. To that point the dental problem has come. "Dentistry must now resort to prevention, and prevention means a^st tq. search to find the causes. The Crisis affords the dental school a great opportunity for service and leadership. For this it must equip itself with laboratories and skilled specialists in research so that it may lead in finding the causes of the dental maladies, and in making effective conquest of these plagues." 39 Fewer Millionaires In Great Britain Now London, Eng.--There are 39 fewer millionaires in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, says a revenue report for the year ended March 31, 1932.

Tower For 1937 Fair Circular Driveway Would Carry Cars to Vast Garage 1,600 Feet in Air Paris.--The Eiffel Tower's height no longer satisfies French engineers. They want to recapture the world record by building for the Paris 1937 exposition a "beacon of the world' measuring 700 meters, or 2,310 feet. The task of determining whether such a structure can be built has been intrusteo to M. Eugene Freyssinet, the well known French engineer. He has passed many days and weeks in calculating and planning, f.nd has finally come to the conclusion that the project is in no way impracticable. In his mind, the tower should be i. lilt of concrete and of a simph shape, preferably polygonal, or almos circular. Its base would occupy a con siderable surface and the tower would become thinner with height. On wide platform established at the t visitors could enjoy high altitude sun rays and forget all about the weather conditions in the earth. A system of winding tracks sloping at an eight-degre angle would enable automobiles to reach a first platfi with a vast garage at a height of s< 1,600 feet. Special cars then would transport tourists to the higher plat-According to M. Freyssinet, the cost o J.ho building would not exceed $2,0O0,C00, less than was spant on the Eiffel "Tower. In fact, the beacon could be made much higher--1,000 meters, or 3,300 feet--but this would ncce jitate a much greater expenditure, he said. Naturally, the "beacon of the world" could not be erected in Paris. But a suburb like the Mont Valerien is believed by Freyssinet to be quite appropriate for his bold plan. "The diamond in this engagement ring is awfully small." "I told the jeweller it was for the smallest hand in town."

Golden Text--And the Word made flesh, and dwelt amoni (and we beheld his glory, the as of the only begotten of Father,) full of grace and tru John 1: 14. ANALYSIS. I. the mount of vision, Mark 9:2-13. II. the valley of service, Mark 9 14-29. Introduction -- Jesus' unexpected and startling announcement of his ap-proaching death seemed to be the denial and destruction of every Messianic hope. The perplexed and sad-d.-ned disciples needed a glimpse of the divinity that was hidden in their Master--some assurance that the way of the cress was the way of triumph. This assurance they were soon to re- 1. the mount of vision, Mark 9:2-13 The Gospels tell us nothing of that wonderful week which Jesus and his men spent together. One day toward its close, taking the three who were closest to him, he went up the moun tain, v. 2. After their evening pray ers, the three men, Oriental fashion, wrapped themselves in their outer cloaks and went to sleep. Their Master remained praying. Then suddenly they woke, or perhaps Peter did, and his cry woke the others. Vividly, as if they were flesh and blood, he saw two figures there with Jesus. Something told him that they were Moses and Elijah. Half asleep, half awake, frightened, confused, not knowing what he was saying, he began to call out to Jesus about building three "tabernacles"--rude shelters of brushwood and rushes quickly woven together to form a windbreak on the bleak hilltop, vs. 5, 6. "No word came back from Jesus: but the disciples looked, and they never forgot what they beheld. There v:t.s a light upon his face that made it seem transfigured. It shone there in the darkness as when the moon is risen, and the cloak about him seemed to glisten like white feme. Then a cloud drifted over the peak of the mountain. For a moment they seemed alore, ar.d they said that it was as though the voice of God hi rosea spoke to them out of the dim-ss: 'This is my beloved son.' The 1st blew by, and there again was Jesus--Jesus with something tremendous in his eyes." . Dr. J. D. Jones, speaking of this light upon the face of Jesus after hours of prayer, says, "Prayer leaves its mark on the character, on the very-face. The look of care relaxes into peace; lines of anguish change into those of joy. Dr. J. G. Paton mentions the rapt look on his old father s face when he came out of the tiny room where he held communion with God. "t was almost the very li.-it thing that mpressed him with the reality of .-eligion. And the transformation goes deeper than the face. It reaches down to the very heart. I know of nothing that so effectually removes all hateful things from the soul, and begets love and hope and faith in it, as prayer. As we behold Christ, and meditate upon him, we are changed into his image, from glory to glory." Experiences like this are being scientifically studied today. The form they take is usually determined by the'beliefs, conscious or sub-conscious, and the expectations of those who have them. Saint Anthony, for example, wrestling with temptation, saw ■ ' is of the devil. The disciple--^.^ perplexed, but gradually con-mer to believe that perhaps the astounding declarations of their Master were right. We may be sure that the prayers on Mount Hermon on that night were prayers for assurance and guidance. This vision was their answer. Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus, would convince them that he was in the true succession of the Old Testament prophet?-.. Law and prophecy were finding their fulfilment in him. The voici in the mist (v. 7) Don't you love its interesting scar* neckline? It's so youthfully becoming. The raglan shoulders are another new smart feature. For the original, a soft rabbit's-hair woolen in orangyred was used to fashion it, accented with black buttons. Then, aagin, you might have in mind a crinkly crepe silk. If so, make it with short sleeves as in small back view. An interesting scheme is grey with the sleeves and the scarf of brown crepe. Black crepe with white crepe scarf is especially chic.
