DEEP-SEA DIVING PROFITABLE WORK
 FOR BLINDED MEN

London, Oct 22-Deepwater diving is one of the trades for which blind ed soldiers may fit themselves, writes C. Arthur Pearson, chairman of the Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Care Committee He says:
 Diving, is, !. think, a quite new occupation for blind people The div CT who is building breakwaters and piers works in in the dark, for even if the water is clear his work disturbs it and renders it impossible for him to see anything through it. The div CT is one of the best paid of workmen. He has an attendant to look after him while below an Id when he re- turns to the surface. land the occupa,- ton is one which I think will prove to be extremely suitable for intelligent blinded soldiers and sailors who have had some mechanical training.''

London Food Prices
 Show Great Increase

London, Oct. 22-London food prices have to date shown a general increase of thirty-f1ve per cent since the beginning of the var. .5 e...4
 Except for a panic rise at the. very beginning Of the war. prices have mounted with a disquieting and unre- laxng Asteadiness at the rate of 1it- tie more than two per cent. a month since the war began. The largest rise took place last May, mainly on account of sudden jump in the price of meat. It is thought that the new taxes on imported articles will raise this percentage of increase. Present prices have never been equa1led in England with the xeeption of the period from 1873-1S77, which was a time of peace and prosperity. There was at that time no interference with trade. and the high prices which ex- tended to all commodities were due not to short supply but to extraordIn- ary demand.
 Most 1uxuries are comparatively cheap. The price of caviar is the same as it was two years ago. Grouse can be bought at seventy-five cents a brace, hares at thirty-seven cents. large pineapples at thirty-seven cents and hothouse grapes at eighteen cents a pound.

BISHOP OF LONDON
 WOULD CLOSE ALL
 SOHO NIGHT CLUBS
Claims They Are Menace to Country When Nation Is
 At War.

London, Oct o2-The night club which is just now the subject of heat ed controversy in London, is an insti- tuition peculiar to England. It aims to provide amusement and refresh ment, the latter mostly liquid. during the late hours of the evening and the early hours of the morning. Since the war, the club, like the saloon or cafe, has been subjected to rather rigid restrictions as to the sale of al cohoHc beverages, but the police complain that it is difficult to obtain evidence against law-breaking night clubs.
 There are probably 400 night clubs in London. Nearly half of these are located within the narrow limits of the district known as Soho,s which is There are between 150 and 200 night clubs in So11o,' says the London Times, and most of these are disrep- utabIe. The Bishop of London does mot eXaggerate when he says that for the most part these establishments are the haunts and hunting grounds of sharks and loose women, whose trade is to exploit the follies and weaknesses of those induced to go there.
 s'It is unnecessary to insist upon the
 nischiefs to which such company ex- poses the young officers, some of whom have but 1ittles expsrienee of life. These m.schiefs are in one sense public danger at all times, but the danger is enormously magnihed~ when the suf- ferers are soldiers and the nation is at war.

PROHIBITION IN
 NORWAY OPPOSED
 BY WINE-GR0WERS
Question Becomes Leading Political Issue, As Result
 of War.

Christiania Norway, Oct. 22.-The prohibition movement which, since the beginning of the war, has been gaining momentum in all the Scandi- navian countries, has become in Nor way a leading issue in the present political campaign. Gnudar Knud- sen, the prime minister, stated in a recent speech that countrywide pro- hibition would be an achievement of the near future. But except among socialist and radical circles which have strongly espoused the prohibi- ton cause, it is thought that the eco homie and international complications resulting from such a reform will make it impracticable-or at least in advisable.
 The wine producing European coun- tries do not look favora bly, upon the. curtaflnent of their liquor, exports to Norway, and it is felt here that in the case of prohibition reforms, they will undertake reprisaIs which will serious ly injure the commercial and financial standing of the country. In 1909, when the legislature passed 8, bill re- stricting the import of French wines, Norwegian bonds were refused a rat ing on the Paris exchange, and the bill was repealed. The French dec lara ton, made at this time, to the eff feet that France would assume the liberty of making such an answer to any Norwegian legislation detrimental to Frances wine trade, is still in force. France, Spain and Portugal, accord ing to a tariff declaration of 1910, will double the duty on articles imported from countries which throw difficult ties in the way Of the wine trade.
 The Norwegian exports to these countries are several million dollars in excess of the imports, and any in- reference with these exports would
 work a serious com m inrV to
 Norway. Norway, at present, enjoys the most favored nation clause in
 her commercial treaties with France. If France feels that her wine exports

 PANAMA EXPORTS
Trade With Foreign Nations Has Fallen Off Since
 War Began.

Panama. Oct. 22-Latin-A American trade propagandists in the United States need have no concern regard ing the business with the Republic of Panama, according to import sta tistics just made public by the Bureau of Statistics for the year 1914. The United States leads all nations in ex- port business to Panama with grand total of $6, 6,396,276 which was nearly four times the exports of Great Brit ain and about thirteen times those of Germany for the same period. Great Britain's exports were $1,78S.O04.
 Pra ctical1y from the beginning of work on the Panama Canal by the United States in 1904 Panama has been a large buyer of American goods. Since then the business has grown rapidly until the northern republic became the largest exporter to Pana- ma. The imports into Panama from consideration the thousands of dol lars worth of goods that annually are sent to the Canal Zone. Panama re- ceived but very little duty on such importation.
 Other large exporters to Panama were: Germany $46O,45e; Belgium $30o,83S! France $211,724; China $149,905 and Cuba $S5,518.. The to- tai importations for 1914 were worth $9,S85,477. Importations from all countries during 1915 will show a material falling off due to the Euro pean war and general business de- pression in the republic itself.

WAR FORCES LAUNDRIEs
 TO RAISE THEIR PRICES

London. Oct 22.-The latest indus trial combination to force up its prices is the Launderers' Association, which adds 10 per cent. to laundry bills because the British public is al- legged to wear 12,00o,Oo0 fewer col lars since the war than before the war. This saving in collars is based says the secretary, on the assumption that the 3,000,000 men now in the army and navy used to send an aver age of four collars week to be washed.
