 Similar statements are made re- garding the dyestuffs industry. Their prices have risen considerably during the war. Makers do not limit them selves to making dyes; they also make, and now more than ever, chemicals, drugs and explosives. so that dyestuffs are now playing an insignificant role in production" In respe ctto toys, 1t is noted that producton is rendered very difficult by reason of the lack of raw materials, so that the output is linn ited to the domestic demand.
 The entire range of textile indus tries, which constitute a very large segment of Germany's economic activ- ity, are now wholly eliminated from manufacture for export owing to lack of the raw materials; supplies of these are so short that they were long ago confiscated by the government in or der to conserve them for military re- quirements, aid only such small quan- titles are liberated for the require ments of the civilian population as are absolutely necessary. This is also true of the rubber and leather trades.
 In fact, there is not one single in- dustry that could be- named in which conditions as to raw materials, SUD- plies, labor and wages are such as would render it possible for nanufac- turers to turn out goods with view

NcoNVENiENCEs OF EARLY
 SHOP CLOSING IN LONDON
After 6 P. Nj. It is Impossible to Buy
 Anything Except Meals and Drink

LonGon. Nov 1.-The new carly hop-closinS regulation has dealt many people decided shock. The smoker who finds hipnsclf unexpectedly with out cigars, the candy eater overtaken with a tate craving for something sweet. ard the workman who wants to send out for q sandwich, is surprised and ansi' when 5e discovers that such indu4gences are bdrTCu.
 After eight o'clock On ali nights eX- cept Saturdays it is impossible to buy anything, except meals and drink. The cigar stores ard the candy shops must close, but restaurants may remain open and in London people may crowd up to the bars and buy drinks until half-past nine. But the public houses cannot sell tobacco after eight. Nor can restaurants purvey confectionery or cigars to any but those consuming meals oi. the premises. Discussion over what constitutes a meal is waSed in the newspapers IS . sandwich a meal? And if 'one sandwich is not a meal how many would constitute a meal? One cigar may be bought with a meal and lighted on the premises and therefore smokers may sometimes be driven to buy a meal for the sake of cigar. Hence the importance of this poirt.

GERMANY NOT PREPARING
 TO SELL CHEAP GOODS,
It Has Developed That Such Runners
 Are Based on Misinformation.

Berlin. Nov. 1.-The American As
 Berlin has been Investigating the ru-
 mors circulated abroad to tlle effect
 that Germany is preparing for dump
 ing enormous quantities of cheap
 goods there after the close of the war.
 According to. these rumors, Germany
 has mobilized a vast army of-ill l-paid
 old men, women and children to work
 on cheap staple goods for export, con-
 sisting chiefly of steel and iron goods,
 dyestuffs and others. It is further represented that vast quantities of
 these goods are being stored for ship ment when the war ends.
 According to the associations week
 ly report, all such rlimors are based upon transformation. It ffnds that
 there is no surplus labor in Germany that could be divertei to the produc- tion of the goods in question. More over, the supply of labor is not even of home consumers. besides tEe vast quantities of war materials needed; and instead of wages being so low now tha. manufacturers would find this a favorable time for producing cheap goods, the report points out that 'sthe wages of all workers have ab- normally increased, in proportion to the increased cost of living"
 The iron and steel now produced in Germany is consumed for the greater part in making arms and ammunition, while the remainder barely suffices for the legitimate requirements of civil ians, it being obvious therefore that no output is left over for delivery af- ter the war" Hence also hardware, household goods ana many export ar ticles of iron and steel Fare now pro- iduced to a very limited extent. just

A pair of red-breasted nuthatches are now coming to a feeding shelf on Mckinley avenue. These birds have been seen in northern Vermont by a Norwich bird observer but never before this autumn has she known of their being in this locality. The red
 breasted nuthatch builds it's nest in the northern part of our northern states and spends the winter south in the Gulf states and southern Cali fornia. They search for grubs most iy in the coniferous trees, their nests are in hollow stumps and limbs. and the space around the opening they cover with fir balsam-a habit which the naturalists do not understand.
