Denmark.

The farmers Of Denmark are fac
ing a serious problem with reference
to obtaining an adequate supply of
Irvine for binding their grain in 1917.
Three thousand tons of Irvine are con-
sumed in Denmark each year and this
has been obtained through English ex-
porters. Now England has placed an
embargo on all Irvine shipments to
Denmark. and this applies not only to
what Is manufactured in England, but
to imports from An erica via England.
No encouragement Is received from
the American manufacturers. who an
nounce that 1t Is becoming increasingly
difficult to obtain from Mexico the
necessary fiber used in the making Of
Irvine.
A cahlegram from Copenhagen says
that the Scandinavian steamship lines
have agreed to raise the rates on
freight to America by IS per cent
Rates from Scandinavia 40 America
have not been much abo-e normal, on
account Of the compc ratively small!
amount of freight shipped in that di-
rection, while the rates on freight from
America have increased tremendously
as result of the vast expectation Of
American products to Europe.
Another example of the soaring
prices OF steamships in Denmark: The
steamer Hecla was bought few years
ago for 10000 crowns After being
repaired at cost of $4,000 crowns the
ship was sold some time ago for co.,
600 crowns. and recently the present
owners declined an offer of 100000
tcrowns for the craft.
Ninety thousand horses have been
exported from Denmark since the be-
ginning Of the war. Most of these
were exported during the first months
of the war, which led to the fear on
the part Of the government that there
would be n scarcity Of horses for ag-
ricultural purposes In Denmark and
further sales to foreign countries were
forbidden. Recently $4,000 horses
| were sold to the helligerents with the
consent of the government, as it is NO

KNEW WEAKNESS OF WOMEN
French Police Minister Played Shrswd.
ly on Well-known Characteristic
Of the Fails Sex

During the reign of Louis. XIV Of
France the light chaise scame' into
fashion, and great ladies OF Paris were
accustomed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently In
he streets. Consequently. says Das
Buch fur ALE, the king besought the
minister Of police to do something
since the lives Of pedestrians were
constantly in danger.
Il will do whatever is In my pow
err" replied the police minister. "Your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entlrelyT
The king replied, Certainly. See
to It that they do"
The next day there appeared royal
ordinance that ordered that, in the fu-
ture. ladies' under thirty years of age
should not drive chalses through the
streets Of Paris. That seems mild
restrictlon but It is said that scarce
ly woman from that time on drove
her own chaise. The police minister
knew that few women would care to
advertise the fact that they were over
thirty, and that the rest would prob
ably be too old to drive.
