HIGH PRICES FOR
PROVISIONS IN NORWAY
AND SWEDEN
(By Associated Press.

1
Christiania, Norway, Sept. 81. -
Something very, close to panic is
spreading over both Norway and
Sweden, as result of the alarmin 9
scarcity of provisions and the un-
I precedented prices which are de.
manded for the simplest kind OF
food. Norway is now on the point
of following Sweden's lead in pro-
hibiting the export of all provisions
of which there is a present shortage
in order that prices may be brought
down within reach of the poorer
classes.
The advance in prices in Norway
is approximately the same as in
Sweden, but in some cases 1t has
been even more marked. Herring,
which is one of the main articles of
diet among the peasant population
have risen from two cents to four
and half and five cents apiece, and
the present price of oatmeal is $50
per cent higher than it was before
the war.
The meat shortage was temporar-
lily relieved some time ago, as it was
in Sweden, by the SLAUGHTER of a
large number of cattle, which there
was not enough grain to feed, but
prices have now advanced again,
reaching the highest level ever
known in Norway. II is a curious
paradox, however, that as nation,
Norway's economic and financial
condition is better than before the
war. Norway's tremendous exports,
at the same time that they have
provisions for home consumption and
carried masses of the people to the
verge of starvation, have brought a
tremendous amount of money into
the country enabled the country to
pay for all its imports, and left 2
large surplus to be used for indus
trial purposes and public loans.
The Bang of Norway-the govern
ment's bank-had a year ago twenty
million dollars of gold in its vaults.
Today it has forty million. A year
ago it had issued paper money to the
extent of five and a half million dol
lars beyond its deposits, while today
with the same amount of paper cur
rency in circulation, ii has reserve
of three million dollars.
Deposits in private banks are at
present thirty million dollars great
er than a year ago on the same date.
These banks had to their credit in
foreign banks 100000 last year.
This year they have ten millions.
The war has thus brought Norway
flood tide of prosperity, and If gov
ernment action is taken to reduce
present prices and provide the poorer
people with food, Norway will have
little to lose and great deal to gain
from a long war
,Norway's friendship for England
and the fact that she has had less
to complain of in the restriction OF
imports than Sweden, have made her
trade question much less serious
one than in her sister country Her
chief grievance against England re
mains the English censorship Of her
mail and eablegrams to America and
other neutral countries. Norway Is
still trying to devise a more direct
and speedier communication with
America.

Not within the memory of the oldest observer of fashions has there been a time when women gave so much at tention to their footwear, or the mak- CTS of shoes to their designers.
 The new shoes, high or low, for summer wear are nothing less than marvels of workmanship in which combinations of colored feathers or of cloth and leather are wrought into the daintiest and snappiest of crisp-looking clothing for the feet. The plain shoe comes in for little consideration, for even the utility shoe of tan leather takes unto itself tips and bands in deeper shades of tan or in gray, and revels in decorative stitchings. Also it laces up at unheard of positions, all. it must be confessed, to the advan- tage of the wearer as to the appearance of her feet A fine example of low shoe of this kind is shown in the group pictured here.
 The other low shoe is designed for more dressy wear, showing com bination of black patent leather with a colored cloth. Beautiful stitching and graceful shaping in the emplace ments of leather make this gem to be considered The inside lace is really a great improvement over the

Some of the seasons styles, but not many of them, lend themselves to the remodeling of gowns. Women who are clever at this work have been quick to grasp the possibilities of those models in which two fabrics are used for constructing the body of the gown.
 The difficulty lies nearly always in widening the skirt. If one possesses a last seasons gown very wide and voluminous as to the hips and very scant as to the hem, it is sometimes possible to simply reverse it. That is, the bottom of the skirt last year be- comes the top this year The fashion of wearing yokes to which the lower part of the skirt is set on helps out, and the vogue for very short skirts is also to be reekoned with in making over things.
 Other features in the present modes that encourage remodeling are the use of wide bands of silk about the bottom of skirts as finish, and the introduc- tion of two or three bands in the body of the skirt. The same silk may supply new sleeves and a part of the bodice. Wide, loose girdles of silk that swathe the figure and obliterate the waist line are good style and will be for another season, at least.
 The separate tunic, or two-piece skirt, and the small coat, made in

front lace, if not for greater conve- nience, for beauty.
 Except for ornamental stitching nothing is used in the way of decora- ton on the new shoes. No buckles or bows could be used where the body of the shoe furnishes all the variety in composition needed. A certain trim ness, too, in the designs compels the absence of decoration, also. It is a case of realizing the force of that adage against painting the lily and adorning the rose.
 The high shoes pictured are com binations of patent leather and colored cloth. They are shown with the front and the side lace. Similar shoes for midsummer made in combination of black and white leather will vie with low shoes to be worn with white dresses and with combinations of black and white.
 The vogue of colored cloth and un. usual colors in leather combined with black for shoes promises to remain with us for some time. Already those who make the cloths used in footwear are matching up the colors in dress goods which manufacturers are mak- ing ready for fall.

SEEKS TRACES OF LOST RACE.
Ne" Yorker Is Investigating Fate Of AraWak Indians, Who Once
 PeopIed Jamaica.

When in 1494. on his second voyage, Columbus discovered the island of la naica, it was populated by the Ara walk Indians. who, although at first hostile to him, became friendly on his giving them clothing and other ar ticles hitherto unknown to them. When, later, the Spaniards settled the island, they forced the Indians not only to do agricultural work in their own island. but to labor in the gold mines of Haiti. So hard were the Spanish taskmaster that by 1858 the whole Arawak nation was exterminat- cd. During the last six years c. G. LoHgley of Pelham manor, in New York, has been seeking to recover all possible traces of the lost race To that end he has spent the winter on the island in exploring the old kitchen middens. or refuse heaps. of the Ara walks, in which he has found, besides shells and pottery, and fish, turtle ano cony bones. many celts, or rude chisels, grinding stones, stone pend ants, and axes-1 800 objects In all.

color sharply contrasting with that of the gown, are items in the mode that offer very interesting features to the economist The tunic skirt is grace ful and popular, and last years skirt is easily converted into a tunic over a drop skirt of another material. Long sleeves of chiffon or other diaphanous material may solve the problem when new sleeves must be used.
 A pretty and simple gown of two ma terials is shown in the picture given here. The skirt, which is short and faced upon the under side, is attached to a gathered yoke of silk by a piping of silk over cable cord. Last years coat becomes this years bodice by means of wide girdle of silk finished with flat loops and ends at the right side. This girdle is provided with buttonholes at the front and back which fasten over decorative buttons.

Under the old act they were only required to report to the county clerk in their respee- tive counties that they were entitled to 8 pension. Under the new act, which repeals all previous ones, they are required to make affidavits simi- lar to those accompanying the origi- nal application for a pension.
