Oysters Will Add
to Living s Cost

G0 AslWlE9g $ OOSG
 7HHE oyster, still known in remote J parts of the country as the "succulent bivalve," has joined the procession of edibles climbing toward the stars.
 Oyster planters of New Jersey and other eastern coast resorts announce an increase of 20 to 30 per cent for the season which opens September 1, with a suitable accompaniment of jazz bands and the noisy consump- tion of stews by fat men. Small oys- ters, the kind used to flavor stews at church fairs, will sell anywhere from 65 cents to SIPS hundred.
 In addition to an advance in the price of oysters, crackers, milk, but ter, eggs and lard have all gone up, so it appears that the bon vivant who eats his raw will be able to get them a bit cheaper.
 Figures on southern coast oysters are not available, but it is probable that the upward trend of prices will be felt in all parts of the country. However, it is gratifying to know that there will be more than enough to go around, and even if stew or a "fry" costs more, experts tell us oysters will still be the cheapest food available.

CURIOUS "RUN" ON A BANK

William A. Shryer in Leslie's.
 Supposing you were to be told that a certain bank in your town was besieged by 9 line of people over 200 feet long, and that they commenced to gather long before the doors were opened at g a. m. :? Suppose you learned that, the minute the doors were opened, this crowd damned
 into the lobby and, continuing to gather refused to leave until each any every little cages that need no description? :? What would you think if you learned that 1t became necessary to call out the po- lice department to handle such crowd which refused to relinquish their com mon object until six long hours past the time -honored hour every bank is supposed
 to close its doors?
 If your experience with banks and bank CTS is that of the average man, it would not be hard to guess that your answer to these questions would be: "A run on the bank, of course!'
 These things occurred in the city of Detroit on March 1 of this year. and the crowd of people that besieged this bank numbered over 5000. It is possible that few who needed little money managed to fight their way to the cages of the paying tellers and withdrew their usual daily needs. Five thousand eight hundred and sixty-one of them, however,
 came for an entirely different purpose. They came to deposit money in that bank and refused to leave until they had done so.
 In the light of preconceived notions about banks one would be entirely justi- { fled in branding this story as figment l of the imagination, and yet 1t is true. The bank was the Highland Park bank tof Detroit, and what is more remark able still, the bank had no hoary tradi-
 tlons of age to partially explain such a
 mark of confidence and trust. It was | a new bank, the youngest in the city, and l on this eventful day was celebrating it's | first anniversary.
 1 For the past l5 years number of men, whose energy in the face of discourage ment is amazing, have been trying tu make the banks see that it pays to ad- vertise As a result. there are num-
 Der of banks which actually spend real money in advertising. Many, however continue to look upon the double-column, hve-inch display of the financial state | ment of the bank as advertising. | Not so the Highland Park bank. Its officers and directors believe in putting
 the human touch into business and the above result was due to a regular hu-
 man interest newspaper campaign.

MAN-EATING SHARKS

From "Harpooning Deviifish," by Theo-
 dore Roosevelt, in the September Scrib-
 ner.
 All of the trained and experienced ob- servers with me agreed in saying that near our coast line there was but little danger from sharks for man swimming. Accidents do occur but they are wholly xceptional-unlike Tshat is true in the Indian Ocean and around Australia. The white shark is undoubtedly man eater, and Coles, who is probably more compe- tent to pass judgment on the question than any other man in the United States, believes that the four bathers killed and partly eaten off the New Jersey coast in the summer of 1916 were all victims of one rather small straggler of this forni- dable species. When this straggler was captured it wass found that there were human bones and flesh in it, and with its capture all attacks on swimmers ceased

Earl Grey Had
 Notable Career


 9E ARL GREY, who died at his l1 country home in England yes- terday, in his sixty-seventh year, had been a notable figure in public life. While not classed with the great statesmen, he was esteemed for his aptitude in administrative affairs. He had been administrator of Rhode sia and a director of the British South African company. Later he was sent to Canada as governor-gen- eral and commander-in-ch He filled that position seven years-a longer term than most of his prede- cessors had been permitted to serve.
 Canada, enjoying the fullest meas ure of home rule, the governor-gen- eral is chiefly a social and semi diplomatic functionary. His relation to the dominion government in some thing like that of the King to Great Britain. If he is tactful and estab- fishes himself as a social favorite he strengthens thereby the ties that bind Canada to the mother country. Earl

Tobolsk, the Place
 of the Czar's Exile

MMO OST people have but hay idea GVU of Tobolsk, the town in Si- beria to which it was reported the deposed Czar of Russia was exiled, The National Geographic society has issued a bulletin giving some facts about this little known town, which has lost much of it's commercial inn portance since the opening of the Transsiberian railway.
 From Petrograd to Tobolsk, in an air line, is 1900 miles. By rail to the boundary line between European Rus sia and Siberia, at Yekaterinburg, from there to Tyumen and thence 70 Tebolsk is a distance of nearly 1700 miles. Between the years 1923 and 1898, before the Transsiberian rail- way was opened to traffic, 906, ,266 Si- berian exiles passed through Tyumen snd there is grim retribution for Nicholas Romanoff in having to make the same journey, but under more comfortable circumstances, to which he condemned many of his unfortun- ate subjects.
 Tobolsk has now 21,000 inhabi- tants. It is the commercial center of the province of the same name, which covers half million square miles, most of which is desolate, inhabited wilderness. The density of population for the entire province is but four people to the square mile.
 The town is in practically the same latitude as Petrograd, with an aver age annual temperature of 32 degrees. Its history dates back to 1587 The neighboring country was exploited by Cossacks, under a grant given two merchants, Jacob and Gregory Stro- ganov, by Ivan the Terrible. in 1874. The Cossack leader was named Yer
