In spite of the fact that American
women have been wearing furs during
the summer, the fur trade of the world
is in a bad way. This, OF course, is
the result of the European war. 1t Is
estimated that there are now on hand
in the fur concerns In London some
100000 muskrat furs from North
America, 100000 skunk skins. 54,-
600 Australian opossum skins, 49,
900 clvet skins, $4,000 fox skins and
1880 polecat skins. London cannot
dispose OF this enormous number OF
pelts. nor can Leipzig avail itself OF
them. The heavy loss which the war
has caused the fur trade is indicated
by the fact that the price In Europe
last year for perfect black fox pelt
was $3.50. and now is 500. The cot
ton trade, which has been complain
ing loudly of the effect of the war, has
not been hit nearly as hard as the
fur trade.

When Your Foot Is Asleep.

After being for a long time in 8 con strained attitude a peculiar nnmbness and pricking are often felt in the arm, leg or foot. This is caused by some in terruptton to the circulation and can usually be removed by rubbing or ex- ercise. The reason of the sensation. which is decidedly uncomfortable while it lasts, is that pressure for a certain length of time deadens the sensibility of a nerve. When this pressure Is sud denly removed, as strengthening out the leg after sitting with it doubled un- derneath the body, sensibility gradual ly returns to the nerve, and as each nerve fiber composing the trunk re gains it's normal condition of sensibfl- ity a pricking sensation is felt, and tEese successive priekings from the successive awakenings of the nUmer- ous 1bers have not inaptly been called ''pins and needless '

Delegates to the Democratic nation al convention, opening in St. Louis June 14, are being urged to support Governor Elliott w. Major of Missouri for vice president on the ticket with President Wilson. Missouri Democrats have undertaken an active canvass in Governor Majors behalf. This fact is arousing- considerable interest, because the friends of Vice President Marshall are understood to have regarded his renomination as probable, if not a foregone conclusion. The Missouri candidate has been formally indorsed by the Democratic state convention of his state.'

 made any impression on Carrigans
 sox. and beat them on. the years series, f2 to 10. So far this season New York has. won seven out of ten from the Sox, winning six straight games from Carrigan's World s Champions. The Yankee percentage of 69A is by far the highest the Tanks. have owned this late in May in years and years
 The Yankees have taken a decided brace in their hitting, and what is more, they are making their hits counts. For a stretch they were hav- ing 10, 1z and 1 3 men left every day, and nothing is more sdiscouraging to a manager than to have club re- peated1y get men on and be unable to score them
 When McKechnie started to hit the Giants started to win. The same thing may be- said for Magee. Last week Lee rapped out eight hits in the six games, including a homef and two doubles, for an average of .343. That is some Improvement over Lees, .180 pace.
 Perhaps what is the most amazing about the clubs recent spurt is that it came after two players, Baker and Peckinpaugh, considered leading cogs in the machine had to be benched on account of injuries, after Maisel, Mogridge and Caldwell, other top-Iiners, already were in the Red Cross tent

Walking On The Ceiling

It can be done Circus acrobats have proved it.
 You know that performers who swing along head downward have attached to their feet device exactly like small boys "sucker."
 Trying to increase gamblers profits is like walking on the ceiling. It means talk ing big risk on the chance of getting a lit tie more money.
 Sooner or later the "sucker'' is bound to fail and there are not likely to be any safety nets.
 If we in Bridgeport delude our selves into believing we can keep on collecting abnormal profits we do not earn, we are ceiling walkers.
 We can't keep all the war profits, but we can keep big generous prosperity with factories running full time, good hours, good wages busy stores if we earn tiff we con- vert the gamblers profits into real values / and make them permanents
 The first permanent value we want to safeguard is the GREATEST OF ALL HOMES
 We have made real start But if YOU are going to pass the responsibility to a few men who are taclx1ing the problem with the grim, earnest determination to solve it in the right way, YOU are mighty poor citi- zen and worse business man.
 You are against your own interest and against the city. You are not a partner, but an outsider, grating on the work others are do1ng. -

YOU must help these men who are putting their shoulder to the wheel. You must offer your own shoulder and make it do real work, and YOU must use your best intelligence to direct it.
 If you are among those who want homes go about getting them in busi- ness like way. Hold meetings among yourselves. Decide how much you can ? afford to pay-hOw you want to pay it.
 Decide whether you want your own lit- tie private park around your house or whether you would rather share in finely appointed, well directed playground under the care of your partner, the city.
 Get down to concrete business pro- to finance it. The homes must pay, mind you, because you don't want philanthropy
 If you are manufacturer figure on costs and returns, especially on the relations of good homes to the efficiency of the workers.
 If you are big merchant or retail store keeper, figure out how much five thousand or even one thousand new homes mean to your business.

Plantations Benefit
From Recent Rain

While heavy damage is reported
from the plantations along the Hama
lua coast, on the island of Hawaii,
from last weeks storm, Maui has been
peculiarly fortunate. Practically every
plantation on the island has profited
immensely from the rain, and al
though it has in some instances in
terfered to some extent with field
work, this has been Offset many times
over by the benefits to crops
On west Maui, while the precipita.
tion on the lower levels has been
light, and have not interfered in any
way with harvesting or other field
work, the mountains have been almost
constantly saturated by heavy down
pours, with the result that the Pioneer
and OlOwalu companies have had a
great abundance of irrigation water,
and have not been obliged to pump
any for some time. Unless some
disaster occurs this
seems destined to be Maui's record
year in the sugar industry.

Locomotive Turns
Over Into Stream
Two Employees OF 0lowalu Company
Badly Hurt Bridge Pier Had Been
Washed Out

That no one was killed when a loco
motive and cane cars crashed
through a bridge into the Olowalu
stream, on Tuesday morning of last
week, is one of the mysteries that are
not inaptly placed in the miracle class,
AS it was, however, two employees of
the Olowalu Sugar Company were
pretty badly hurt, while number of
others doubtless had the narrowest
escape of their lives.
Antoine +. Santos, luna on the
plantation, who was riding in the en-
gine cab, sustained severe cuts on the
head and body, and Evaristo Ramos,
laborer, is believed to have sustained
severe internal hurts.
The accident was caused by a pier
in the bridge being washed out dur
ing the night by torrent of mountain
water. The train was the first one
out, and was carrying the laborers to
the fields. In falling the locomotive
turned completely over, resting in the
bed of the stream with its wheels in
the air. The engine cab, by some
lucky chance, was not crushed, how
ever, which doubtless accounts for the
escape of the occupants from death.
