LARGE DRUG BUSINESS

LONDON. Jan. 19.-Lady Mackworth,
daughter of Baron Rhondda, who has
been called the most successful Eng
lish business woman, has Just taken
over the management of a large Ger
man drug business in England which
her father purchased at auction a
few months ago.

George cabinet as president of the Lo-
cal Government Board, is known as
the British coal king" He has much
faith in woman's business ability. His
wife, the BARONESS Rhondda, is man
agar of mineral water company at
Fulham. His reliance upon his daugh-
ter's business skill was illustrated In
1915, when, during his absence in
America in connection with the organ
ization of the supply of munitions, he
er trusted her with the oversight of his
entire business in Great Britain.
Il am a firm believer in woman's
capacity for business" said Lady
Mackworth in talking aver her new
venture, land look forward to the
time whoa Smith & Daughter will
excite no more comment over the en-
trance of a business house than does
Smith and Son. today"

LONDON Jan. 19.-The ''hoarded
treasure" of India is estimated by the
Financial Review at over 400,000,O0O
pounds. Most of this is believed to be

It is financial axium in London that

India annually by the British govern

India. however, the existence of any
really important hidden wealth is de-

January is good month for planting
shrubs and trees about the home 1t is
also a good month for digging up
shrubs and dividing the same. On nice
open days. when the ground is not too
wet to be worked, a great deal can be
done about the yard in thinning out
bushes that are too thick. These thin
ned plants should be exchanged or
given to the neighbors or sent to the
school for planting the school grounds.

The fields of workaday are thickly

A little wishing moon, above the hill,
Hangs in the saffron sky its silver

CAMP MCCLELLAN, Admission. Ala.
September 11.-Winter clothing and
tent warming stoves for the boys from
District of Columbia, Maryland. Vir-
ginia, New Jersey and Delaware have
been ordered by the headquarters of
the 29th Division. Overcoats, winter
underwear wooden uniforms and
other clothing have been asked for in
large quantities, together with 5000
stoves.
Requisitioning of these stoves does
not mean that the troops will remain
here throughout the entire winter, but
that If they move out other troops will
probably take their places.
Winter doesn't set in here very early.
Roses bloom well into December and 1t
is said that the most severe part of
the winter is little more than a term
of almost daily rainfalls tempered with
enough frost to keep the roads hard
at night and soft by day Snow is
rarely seen.

Rock Pile Incinerators.

Pending the construction Of brick in
Generators, which are being built on Il
model and fitted with standardized pans
stones are being used in large numbers
for the building of temporary rock pile
incinerators.
The question of the transportation of
men between Camp Mcclellan and the
city of Admission is becoming vexatious
So far the facilities have been entirely
inadequate.
There is scarcely a night that hun
dreds of soldiers are not stranded in
the city without any chance of getting
back to camp before taps.
To add to the difficulty, the road is
extremely narrow. rough and very dan
gerous. The number of cars travelling
over 1t in both directions make traffic
conditions almost unbearable. and ii
is doubtful whether more cars could
operate over the road between the
town and the camp.
Entertaining the men in camp nights
may prove partial solution to the
difficulty. or the authorities may turn
to a scheme that would involve the
granting of exclusive transportation
return for guarantees to handle fully
the crowds at all times.
Branches of the Y. NJ C. A. are
struggling with what talent they can
procure to supply entertainment for
the men, and it is possible that moving
picture houses will be introduced in
camp.
The construction of an electric car
line between Admission and the camp
ity of running trains over the single
track railroad line has also been dis
cussed Neither of these plans seems
practicable.
