Seized with Heart Attack at Home Toronto.--Hon, Justice Erjc Norman Armour of the Supreme Court.of On- tarlo, former Crown Attorney of To-f rontp and the County of York, and Courts-Martial Officer of the Cana- dian Corps in France during the¢ war, died suddenly yesterday at his resi. dence, 37 Castle Frank Road, He was a " B7 years old. His death followed the equally sud- den death less than 48 hours earlier of hig friend of many years and fel- low-officer, Col. W. C. Mitchell. Both had gone overseas under Col. Bert Barker with the 95th Battalion in 1915, each with the rauk of major. By strange coincidence, Mr. Justice Armour was to have substituted in jury Assizes here this week in the place of Mr, Justice Wright, who died thiree months ago. It would have been his first occa- sion presiding over the jury Assizes here. He was krown to have heen looking forward {o it, for he appeared there many years while Crown Attor- ney of Toronto, Mr. Justice Armour, who had car- ried with him to the Bench the friend. ship of thousands who continued to know him only as Major Erie, was the last surviving son of the late Chief Justice Armour of Ontario. The car. eer of the son had closely paralleled that of the father: both were Upper Canada College boys, both graduated from the University of Toronto and the Law School of the Law Society of Upper Canada, each served as a Crown Attorney, each was appointed a counsellor to the Crown and made a Bencher of the Law Society, and each Was elevated to the Bench of the same province. ; For three years Mr. Justice Armour had suffered from a slight heart con- dition bit had experienced no ill-ef- fects. Nevertheless, he had consulted the late Dr. Hary Hutchison and, lat. terly, Dr. Trevor Owen and Dr, W. Goulding. Until his death, however, he had been Srbeniengiie his usually good health and fulfilling his duties on the Bench with vigor. ¢ Sunday morning at about 9 o'clock, however, Mrs. Armour entered his room to learn what he wanted for breakfast and found him unwell. She called Dr. Goulding, who came im- mediately. Dr, Owen arrived a few minutes later, but despite all the ef- forts of the two physicians he died three hours later. Funeral service will be held at St, Simon's Church Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, Interment will be in the family plot at Cobourg. Born in Cobourg Eric Armour was born in Cobourg Feb, 16, 1877. ile received his early education in that town and later at Upper Canada and the University of Toronto, and graduated from Osgoode in 1902, when he was called to the Bar, After considerable practice, he became a partner of the late Edmund Bristol, K.C., and Edward Bayly, K.C,, 'who died a month ago, In 1915 he went overseas with the 95th Battalion which lik: many other Canadian units, was broken up in re- placements with other "outfits in France. He served on several head- quarters appointments befor. becom- ing Courts-Martial Officer of the Cana- dian Corps, a post which made his name known throughout the army. In 1920 Major Armour married Mary Edith, daughter of John B, Kay of Toronto. He is survived by Mrs, Kay and two children, Joanna and John Kay. Four sisters also survive, Mrs. Stewart Gordon of Guernsey Is- land, and 'Mrs. Edmund Bristol, Mrs. A. D. Miles and Mrs. John Drynan, all of Toronto, Within the past~year death has re- moved the last wy surviving broth- ers, George, who had resided in the town of his birth, Cobourg, and Dr. Donald John Armour, C.AL.G., who had acquired a reputation as one of the outstanding brain and spinal surgeons of the world prior to his death a few months ago In London England, where he had been consultant to sev oral fa- mous hospitals, Sale of Pickfair + Off, London Says Daily Mail Reports Divorce Proceadings to be Dropped London, Marcel 11,--The Daily Mail said today the marital breach between Ncusgla.

"How can Grapho-Analysis help me ?"--that is the question that read- ers invariably ask when they read my article on the subject of character analysis from handwriting, : And it is a natural question. For in these days, perhaps more than any others, the struggle for existence, for progress, is individualistic. I will en- deavour to answer the" question by first asking others, . Are.-you happy? -- or are you con- tinually frowning at life, with a con. stant chip on your shoulders? Are you progressing in your work? --Or are you dissatisfied; a square peg in a roundvhole; unable to make any real progress, yet not knowing what to do to change the possibilities of your future? - If you are married, are you content- ed? -- Or is disquiet créeping in, with perpetual bickering between yourself and your life partner? Do you make friends, and keep them? -- Or are you living the life of an involuntary recluse, unable to en- joy the society and companionship of real friends? The angwers to all these questions can be summed up in a phrase--Know yourself ,and others, Or, one word may sufice--Understanding. If you go through lifé without knowing and ynderatanding yourself--your , faults and your virtues; your merits and your weaknesses--you will be serfous- ly handicapped.

No man has contributed more ta the open- ing up and upbuilding of the north country than the Minister of Mines, who hails from the Sudbury nickel bg't, and who for. teh years has been the alert and forceful backer of the mineral industry, an inspiration to the development of the north, and thus a benefactor of the whole pro- vince and of the entire Dominion.
