A AJAbUikUA ... Lloyd George Takes Up Singing Instead -of Golf for Exercise ter of Lady Astor, he has taken up singing as more , refreshing mental stimulant When a guest at Cliveden, Lady Astor's magnificent country home, he frequently settles down before the great blazing hearth in the hall and. with the fire light playing across his face, sings for hours, delightful half forgotten melodies from , the scores of ancient-Welsh bards to the soft lan guorous straijis of ,Mrs. Phipps' ukelele. .'The prime minister loves nothing better han to seyle'down before the fire and join us in singing old time melodies," said Mrs. Phipps. "He has a fine silvery tenor voice and next to the ballads of ancient Wales he likes the darky songs of the south . and American ragtime. Ithink he-has spent many of his most enjoyable hours away from Downing street with us."

"Singing requires a minimum, that is why it does him more good, in my opinion, than the more active forms of amusement." , ' 40 York Women Send Hearty Endorsement To, Pershing Campaign York,' Neb, Feb. 28.
