have been furnished by their gov- ernments. with very modern storm and brick farm houses and outer buildings. The old cess pool usually found in the centre v! the yard has disappeared in the new order of things. and today the farmers sur- Nlmdings are modernized beyond his fondest dreams.

In the Ypres Salient, there are one hundred and fifty-six British and one hundred and twenty-three Gerlnan cemeteries. the British cemetery is a monument "to the great war, the graves are properly marked, nicely kept and each ceme- tery has a stone wall surrounding it. The Menin Gate which is a-Brit- 13h memorial to the dead of the Salient, is a magnificent piece of. Architecture, it has 56.000 names of missing men engraved on its sur- face, it is interesting to note that the British lost one quarter of o million men in the area and it is estimated the German losses were about the same. there are over two hundred thousand graves in this area bearing the inscription "Known only unto God."

The Graves commission is con- stantly at work and. to this late date is daily locating bodies and remov- ing them to proper burial places.

Hill 60 irenchs is the only point which has been preserved in its or-

‘ condition. It has become an interesting sight-seeing point to the tourist, here the original front line trenches may be viewed as well as the tunnels, craters, and dugouts. also the original implements of war found in these trenches at the end of th war. With the exception o!

It is e most difficult matter for one to visit the front and recon- structthewartirnepicturbandltis particularly difficult to locate any one point which may have been dear to one during the hectic war days. It went to considerable trouble to locate Railway Dugouts and Bed- ford House and only after hour-s of searching located what I be- lieved to be the spot.

The Canadian Memorial at Hill d2 is very outstanding located tm- mediately on the summit of the H111 overlooking miles of country is one of the most artistic memorials on (the entire front. Its grcstnem is symbolize-l of the deeds of Canad- hm who fcalght in this great ﬁlient and died.

Such cities as Ypres. Albert. Bethune, Baiileu, etc. which were artirely destroyed have been rebuilt Ilﬁ?!‘ the guidance of architects in the most modem way so that today ﬂwy have beoorm very beautiful cities. every home equlﬂlﬁd with all modern conveniens.

‘Iralvel in Europe is quite dlflfer- qit to war times, I travelled from Paris to Lille in two and a, half hours st a rate of ninety ktlo's per hour. a. journey which took days during 1917. Tho French rail- way cars are very small and the rail ninety pounds bolted to the tie making n. perfect roadbed. It is quite obvious that the reconstruc- tion of railways and trunk highways and cross roads in the old war areas was carried out with a view 110 further use in case of war. in all cases the highways have been built with a. permanent, pavement.

'I‘he was scare is quite in evidence in France and Belgium. People are equlpepd with gas masks, a shovel and pick. these are stored tn their cellars for instant use. The feeling exists that it is only a. matter of time until the Him returns.

The Jubilee celebration was the most patriotic affair ever experi- enced in the British Empire. The decorations in London cost qpc half million dollars. the viewing stands. poles and other works were of steel construction wrapped with buntlr18 or all kinds and description and re- quired months to erect. giving em- ployment to thousands oi‘ men. It is impossible to describe the picture and its grandeur. the streets were so densly jammed with people that

1t required hours to travel a few blocks. it was indeed very spec- tacular to say the least and a sight well worth seeing.

I Judge that the average cost. oi living in England today is near that of Can- ada, the people however hrc facing the situation squarely, fully realiz- ing that personal sacrifice is neces- sary to restore prosperity. and‘ they go 0n in their daily task knowing that somehow or other. they will muddle through it.

Stammers’ Club . Bars Stammering

MELBOURNE May flit-Believed to be the first of its kind in the world, a stammerers’ club has Just been formed in Melbourne with 6B members. Its formation was the outcome oi the death of a Sydney man who sought relief from the effcts of stamznering in suicide; the first act o! the new club was to send a wreath for his grave-

Thc one thing prohibited among members is stammering. At the in- ltial meeting members were ed- dressed by stammerers. all of whom. gaining confidence among fellow- sufferers, spoke with ﬂuency.

The main object of the club is mutual help. Most of the members have resolved not to resign until cured ct starnmering. Another object is to convince the govern- ment or the necessity for keeping medical men or psychcloqlsts on permanent research work for the benefit of starnmcrus-

SYDNEY Ml-y 28 —Eighteen Papuan (New Guinea) native medi- cal students have Just left for home after completing their course at Sydney University. They have been formed into the world's first scout medics-l troop.

GIRUS BRIGHT IDEA LEADS r0 LOVELY FLOWER. LAMP SHADES

It young woman hated hideous larnpshades and on that founda- tion has created a new art and industry.

This charming Gennan girl de- signed and made new and different larnpshades all by herself. Real flowers and plants. preserved by a special process .are fixed between pieces of transparent parchment and bound to make the shades. she does all the work even to picking the flowers.

"It all began when I was tudying book-binding in an art school in Munich." she aid when in- terviewed. "The lamps in my room annoyed me so much that I couldn't concentrate on my home- work, and I made up my mind then and there to create shades that would do something for l. room. I always had loved flowers u much

as 1 hated those lamps. so it was perfectly natural for me to think in terms of colorful blooms when I finally settled down to decide what to do about the situation.

“There's nothing so very compli- cated about these." she continued, modestly. "This business-like most other things-was Just an idea that happened to click. That's all. l-low- ever- l will admit that each shade takes weeks of planning and days of actual work.

"Gathering the right flowers is the part. ri the entire process that I like most to do. I suppose, by next year, that I'll have to employ men and women to do some cf the actual labor, but I mall always try to pick the blossoms myself.

“I got sortie bright red, feathery things that. look like pennies 0n a hillside in Itoly two years ago. It had been raining for three days and there hadn't been a flower in sight. Finally. the tour-ti: morning, the sun started to shine. I trumped miles through a beautiful valley and. suddenly. before me was a big patch of them." ~

A good deal of her success lies. o! course. in the fact that she in- vented a process which preserves the natural color of the petals. Mimosa from a mossy bank in England where she went last surn- mer is lust as lovely and yellowish- green as it was the day she picked l .

Dandelions from a neatly clipped field near Leipzig are as fascinat- ing as the ones you split and curled when you were seven. Thistle leaves across‘ the bottom of a shade for a ceiling fixture are so realistic- loolring that you have a feeling you'll prlnk your Lngers it you touch it. Arranging leaves and flow- ers casually and naturally seem to be part of her secret, too.

First oi’ all, the young an!“ stretches a layer of transparent pa-pcr around a plain wire frame and covers the parchment with a thin coat of muscilage. Then, fol- lowing a carefully planned design. she arranges the sprays of pressed ﬂowers on the sticky surface.
