The slim-figuve fashion is robbing the country of con- siderable singing talent, according to Dr. Leon Felderman, throat special- ist here. : g Many women, who might become great singers, sacrifice their voices by refusing to take necessary exercises, They are fearful of enlarging their figures, Dr. Felderman stated recent- ve. Many women also refuse to develop the lower register of their vocal chords because this has a tendency to enlarge their girth, Dr, Felderman said, "The vocal chords," he said, "are pairs of fibrous bands drawn sufii- ciently together to leave a fine open- ing called the glottis, The length of the glottis in the adult male aver- ages about 1.8 centimeters and in the female 1.0 centimeters. The stream of air flowing through the silt, or glottis, sets the vocal chords in vibra- tion, This in turn gives rise. to pe- riodic fluctuations on the-flow 'of air through the glottis, and these fluctu- ations create the sound waves."

Even the auctioneer was moved to sentiment, describing the sale as the climax of a tragedy and warning the town authovities they might be held to account by future generations if they allowed a place of such historic fmportarice to be lost. But the estate was sold in one lot of $62,600 to parties who, it Is under- atood,,- bought it for speculative pur- poses.

With the sole exception of the Shirleys of Ettington the Gres- leys were alone in retaining posses: sion of estates granted the family in the feudal tenure by Duke William of Normandy. The 28 generations of Gresleys have seen all the other families except the Shirleys dispossessed for one reason or another, including the ill-favor of the Plantagenet, Tudor or Stuart sovereigns, - the Wars of the Roses, the Puritan uprising, the industrial re- volution of the last century or the economic crisis of the present times. im ef meee The Macphersons With the appointment of a Macpher- son to the Pattullo Administration in British Columbia, each of the four Western Provinces has a Macpherson in its government, There are various are: British Columbia: Hon.

But when the new labels appear, nobody fs to be permitted to smoke unless the label is "smoking." And, concludes this official (and this is the informa- tion which is really surprising), "smoking is allowed in 76 per cent. of the coaches, and it is not proposed to alter that proportion. It seems ta be generally accepted as meeting public requirements." : ; We don't know in what respective proportions the males and <hé females of the species are travellers on the { British railways, but it seems évident that if the public requirements are met by vermitting smoking in three-quar- ters of all the pasgenger coaches, then A peoat many women must smoke on ihe British railways.
