1t is possible to note this tendency.
There are preparations which when
put into effect, will mean another line

ly New Orleans, Galveston and per-
haps Mobile. There are no cotton,

Of Europe.

tain kinds of trade are in the hands
OF the Chinese, and they are said to
be increasing in numbers and in the
extension of trade. A small trial
consignment of American made clothes
sent to Buenos Ayres was quickly sold
but shoppers in the United States and
South American merchants were un-

while to moet the merchants OF these
parts more than half way. A good
way to work is along the line of as
large orders as one can get and as

Woman's Alleged Vanity i
Really Desire to Please
SAYS an Expert.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-An enterpris-
ing young man OF Newark N. j., has
suggested a single resolution for his
fellows. ''Let US boycott the pow
dered," is the slogan he offers. He as
serts quite truthfully that no tailor
can remove the traces Of powdered
chin from the lapels Of an evening
coat, and that the only way to deal
with the powdered peril is by strict
boycotting of the whitened debutantes.
Would they not stop using powder
and PASTE" he inquiries" querulous-
ly, III the using Of powder meant their
being numbered among the wall flow
ers at a dancer
Yes. they would, young man. But 1t
never has, never can mean any such
thing. II powder could make a wall
flower, II the lack Of it could make a
belle, the cosmetic manufacturers
would long ago have gone out of bus
ness. Women all know what nuisance
powder is. Is the Newark youth I'M
aware that it comes off on our own
coats, particularly since we took to
wearing those Russian blouses that
button close up to the throat?
Problem for Themselves.
Does he suppose that our own pow
dered lapels do not furnish hor-
rible problem for our own tailors, and
that It does not cost us money to have
the traces OF our alabaster necks re-
moved from them?
He has not thought Of that perhaps.
He never thinks about woman as jay
or nuisance or an expense to her
self. That would be disrupting to the
established universe Of which he Is

A traveller through the village Of
Modoc, on the Iron Mountain railroad,
Just below Prairie du Rocher, H., on
any balmy, sunny morning, will OBJ
serve peculiar aroma in the atmos-
phere. The sense OF smell, 1t is said,
often recalls memories lost to all the
other faculties. II so, this peculiar
odor, II the traveller lived in the coun-
try when he was a boy, is likely to
stir UP acute reminders, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
1t vii probably recall that celebrat-
ed occasion, when he set steel trap
under the granary in the hope Of
sharing rat and when on the next
morning he ran hastily to see what
the trap had caught. 1t was a haste
he afterward regretted. Through it,
he became a social pariah around the
place for several days. Even his own
kith and kin turned up their noses
at him. Wherever he went the air
was permeated with the same aroma
that is now assailing his nostrils. 1t
is an unmistakable aroma-one might
say a distinctive one. 1t is the odor
OF the festive polecat.
The polecat, or skunk, is playful,
affectionate little creature, with beau
tiful black and white fur. an inqulsi-
tive disposition and superabundance
of animal spirits. Its hide is valued
for its fine fur; its fat for kind OF
grease we'll known in rural districts,
and its two glands secrete what is
known as civet oil. Clvet oil, in its
cultivated state, is used as "fxer'
for delicate perfumes. In its natural
state civet oil is a perfume that would
scarcely be called delicate. In fact,
1t is about the most undelicate per-
fume imaginable. as anybody can tes-
tify who has encountered 1t unexpect-

furniture, carpets, rugs and house

house of six rooms. The class, made
I'D of senior and junior girls, visited
the furniture and department stores

One girl said ut couldn't be done"

PRODUCTION OF COAL
 IN GERMANY IN 1915
Good Showing Made in Spite of the
 Shortage of Labor.

Berlin March 21.-The production of coal in Germany in 1915 made a very good showing in spite of the shortage of labor caused by the war. The years output reached a total of 146, ,712, 900 tons, or only 14,S00, 900 less than for 1914, and 44,s00.000 less than for the record year 1913. Of Brown coal, or Ignite, the production last year was the greatest ever known, having reach ed SS,359, 900 tons, or about 100000 also kept up remarkably well. It amounted to 900 tons, or about 5,T00, 900 tons less than for 1913. The production of briketts from both coal waste and Ignite was the largest ever known.
 In view of the fact that fully ono third of the miners were called into service upon the outbreak of the war, and that further considerable with drawals proceeded during the past twelve months, the production of coal Is regarded as remarkable. The labor supply has been kept up as far as pos- sible in several ways. Men who had | worked hitherto above ground or as assistants to the regular miners took the places of the latter when called | into service, so far as this could be done: and women and younger boys were taken on to do the work above ground. Prisoners of war have also been employed in considerable num- most part as unskilled help above and under ground.

cars prevented the full operation of the mines. Owing to the scarcity of labor and the increased cost of liv- ing miners wages have been ad- vanced. The latest figures available give 7.04 marks as the wage of the highest class of miners for a shift of eight hours in the great mining dis trict around Essen. which compares with about six marks at the beginning of the war. In the northern part of the coal district wages run as high as 7.33 marks. While nearly all commo- oities have risen in price pretty sharp ly in Germany since July 1914, the advance in coal has been very mod crate. There have thus far been two changes in the scale. amounting to 3 marks, or 72 cents a ton. This makes good showing compared with Eng land, where Cardiff coal has risen s1.20 and Durham bunker coal S2 50.
