There can be nothing in the whole,

It is a story of.viciousness and anur-

No dynasty was ever faced with
such coitossal tasks as these kings of
ti`ghanistan. "'You would think you

Canadian's • who, flying from the
austerities of the northern winter,
have discovered that the Dominion
offers climatic amenities . for
which in other years it - was

West of the Rockies and warm-
ed by the Japan current, Vancou-

Canadian enterprise has been
quick to see the advantages offer-
ed by Victoria for those who seek
summer facilities and sports dur-
ing the .normal winter months.
The city boasts one of the finest
hostelries' of the Dominion, the
Empress Hotel, overlooking the
inner harbor and tree -shaded
lawns; social centre and head-
quarters for varied sporting ac-
tivities, These include golf on
superb full length courses, tennis
and swimming in the great salt
water pool at the, Crystal Gar-
dens. At Christmas the pagean-
try of an "Olde English Yuletide"
is observed every year at the Em-
press with "Bringing in the Yule
Log", "Boar's Head Carol' and a
ball on Christmas Night following
dinner. There is specially, select-
ed music every evening during
Christmas week and the New
Year's Eve Ball is a famous' in-
stitution at the Empress. From
November 1 to the following April
30 there are special lowrates in

What has specially drawn con-
tinent -wide attention to Victoria,
however, is the mid -winter golf-
tournament, an annual` Empress'.

Motoring is always a delightful
form of entertainment in Victoria:

finest scenery in Canada, offers
facilities to autoists whi eh make

There are many other worthwhile

THE TASK OF 'PHE LIBRARY
The part of the ,public library in vo-
cetional guidance of adults has long
been iolportatit, says `Linda A, East-
man, but the rapidly changing trends
of this industrial age and unprecedent-
ed phases of the present unemploy-
ment situation have brought to the
library both new responsibilities and.
sncreaseal opportenity for service—
and the op,portuneties for 'helped co-
cpera'tioa betweeb voeatioaal spe,cial
ists and librarians are potentially
great.
The types of service which the li-
braryCan render are perhaps more nu-
merous than is generally realized.
First conies the provision of the best
literature on vocations, including
books, peniodicals, .pamphlets, and oth-
er materials, The range of subjects and
the gttatiltity of literature required to
meet the general demand of any city
is great; while 'wire special local indus-
tries and occupations must be given
particular alten'tion, with generous
duplication of ,books .relating to them,
