Montreal, Mar. 7.--Painting a picture as he 'poke, Michael Ja~ cobs, New York artist and author of Bevervi vou... Ih (u I CAV members of the Women's Art So- clety a very vivid description of his xl Me od of painting, as well as e interesting comparisons between old and modern masters, at a meeting held in Stevenson 11, Modern painters have achieved something which eluded Michael Angelo and Leonardo da yinel the painting of sunlight, Mr, Ja- cobs stated, They have, on the other hand, lost the great love and passion for their art which marked the work of their predecessors, As for their color, the speaker felt modern chemical science had pro- duced pigments more brilliant and plobanly more permanent than hose used for mixing paints as de- scribed in the recipes the old mas- ters have left. Leonardo da Vinci had said you could only get sunlight in a paint- fng if you displayed the painting in the sunlight, and until the work of the impressionistic school ap peared, this had been true, Mr, Ja- cobs continued, Monet, Manet and their fellow-artists have led the way out of this limitation, how- ever, and modern artists can paint, sunlight which still looks like sun- light when it is brought indoors, Mr, Jacobs stated, Explaining his 0 work as he went along, he sald he had derived his method from a study of the unfinished paintings of Michael Angelo, the fundamental principle of which was to lay cool color on first and then work in the warmer tones, .He used only clear brilliant tones, he sald, from a palett containing 12 colors of the spectrum, Husband and Wie Recommend Them Mr. and Mys, C, Kesley find Dodd's Kidney Pills very : beneficial » Ontario Lady Suffered Very Much . with Her Back and Kidneys 'Chatham, Ont, Mar, 6, ----(Spe- clal)~--Thousands of women who seemed destined to a life of fre- quent suffering have been entirely Ireed from' their ailments by using Dodd's Kidney Pills, Mrs, Chas, Kesley, 126 Wellington St, E,, Zhatham, writes:--*'I have suffer- #d very much with my back and «idneys.

In these the writer says mud, and the irksome training of caused among the Canadians and that 'something like a mutiny fol- lowed." He goes on to say: 'The English general staff officers attached to out such training, instead of accustomed, were booted out of camp, By strategy one Saturday night the troops were entrained for an unknown destination and ship- ped to France, It was therefore with this unpleasant record that the Can- adians came." Neither former officers nor men of the First Contingent here could recall any mutiny or threatened mutiny on the Plains, The rain and the mud in the winter of 1914-15 were guffiglent to put discipline to a severe strain, but the Canadians accepted their lot with no more grousing than any soldiers are en- titled to make, It is pointéd out that 80 far as can be remembered after 14 years, all the English general staff officers accompanied the Divi. sion to France, and none were "booted out of camp." With regard to the Canadians be- ing spirited away, the Division re- ceived 36 hours notice when, as was customary all leave was can celled and preparations completed for their transportation to 'the theatre of war, The move &/as car- ried out in conformity with a sched- ule already anticipated by the troops themselves some considerable time before the warning notice was received. The sergeant's observations to the effcet that the members "complaints * AMUSE CANADIANS PAGE ELEVEN sergeants' messes" is felt to do something considerably less than Justice to the approved sobriety and punectilious regard for discipline of he hon brigade-commanders, who erg: onlat Brigade th Ypres, 1916, while commanding the 3rd an Division; 2n 'Bri ad vinta Rl ander of the Canadiau commanded the 2nd Canadian Divi- sion, and eventually commauded all an troops in England. § t Contingent members are, however, disposed to be fair with Sergeant Secrett and to accept the statement that he does not profess to be writing first hand. This would seem to gather strength from the fact that when the Canadians went to France in the second week of February, 1915, they were incorpor- ated into the Second Army, com- manded by Sir Horace Smith,Dor- rien, and not into the First Army wheh was under the command at that time of Sir Douglas Halg, the sergeant's immediate employer, Sergeant Secrett had no com- plaints as to the fighting qualities of the Canadians, "Even the ter- rible ordeal of the first German gas attack at Ypres for which they were totally unprepared, did not shake them," he writes. "They died by the thousands but the others held on gritted their teeth and showed the flower of the German Army Yhat the Maple Leaf boys could 0." Age Limit for the Railway Becoming More Difficult Problem London, March 7.--British rail ways have just raised the age at which children will be carried at half-fair from 12 to 14 years. A correspondent of the staff maga- zine of the Great Western Railway writes: '"'8ir, I submit that whilst in the case of males this will entail not more difficulty than hitherto, in the case of females there arises a serious question, viz: how is one to distinguish between a female of 14 and one of any age upward to about 45? What between bobbed hair, and bobbed skirts, and the bloom of youth supplied by cosme- tic, this is going to become a great difficulty, to say nothing of embar- rassment, "I foresee the time when grand- ma, age about 46, sidles up to a booking office and in a plaintive, small voice, asks for a half-ticket coming to headquarters of Cana- dian brigadiers seen drinking in to 'Somewhore-on-Sea' and gets it." five shillings.
