ORANGES ARE SCARCE
June Heat Wave Cause OF Present
High Prices

( Los Angeles, Cal, April 2b-Present
ABNORMAL prices of California navel
oranges are explained in recent fig
ures compiled by crop authorities
These figures show that only fifteen
per cent of the normal navel crop of
California came to maturity as a re-
suit of the heat wave last June, the
most destructive in thirty years AS a
result of the unusual heat, eighty five
per cent of the young navel fruit
shriveled and dropped from the trees.
The natural consequence has been
larger oranges and a supply far below
the demand and therefore higher than
usual prices.
The truth is that there has not been
anywhere near normal supply of
California oranges since the shipping
season opened last November. They
will not be on the market in album
dance until the new shipping season
opens in May.
The summer crop of California VAL
encia oranges promises to be good.
Unless there is d setback in weather
conditions or transportation facilities,
the market will afford a bountiful
supply of these practically seedless
oranges from California at consider
ably lower prices.

Questions Answered by Alicia Hoyt.
MRS. B.: 1t is customary to wear
evening dress at evening weddings;
/ but IT may be the one you contem-
plate attending will not be so formal
an affair that your grey silk afternoon
gown will be out of place. The best
thing for you to do is ask other ladies
who are invited how they intend to
dress, and you may find that you are
as deliberately attired as they will be.
AT any rate, / advise you not to re-
main at home because you haven't an
evening gown to wear. A light grey
silk gown is the next best thing
LEILA: 1t is very improper as well
as unwise, for you to accept gifts of
money from the young man you are
going with. Even if you are engaged
to him do not allow him to offer you
such presents, no matter what you
may use the, money for.

German Submarine Still to Be Reckoned With

WHlLE the war news was never
 WV more encouraging for the all lies, it is rather ominous that German submarines are still making steady inroads on allied shipping Since the practice of publishing weekly state ments of the tonnage sunk was dis continued the public has been led to believe that the worst was over. As matter of fact, the situation is caus- ing grave concern in England, accord ing to cable dispatch of the London Times Philadelphia Public Ledger service.
 It is stated that the total loss "by enemy action and marine risk" rose from PSI, JOS gross tons in June to 323, FTP gross tons in July and 327 ,67e gross tons in August The difference between the loss and output of British tonnage increased from 31 1855 gross tons in June to 4O,576 in July and was over 51 ,000 gross tons in August.

Dr. Damrosch went to France to provide entertainment for the men in the camps, and at his disposal was placed the services of the best artists France sible by the guarantee fund of Harry Hardness Flagler The overwhelming success of the allies made it impossible to carry out the plans laid. because 1t was not possible to use trains for the transportation of anything but soldiers sensational event. however. took place July IA. the great day of festivities in France, when MT. Damrosch took the baton in the great concert hall of the Conservatoire, this being the first time any but Frenchman had appeared as conductor.

DUBLIN BooTBLAcks IN 17so

From the University Magazine Among the populace of Dublin in 17S0 the shoeblacks were a. numerous and formidable body. The polish they used was lampblack and eggs, for which they purchased all that were rotten in the markets. Their implements con- sisted of a three-legged stool, basket containing blunt knife, called spudd, a painters brush and an old wig.
 gentleman usually went out in the morning with dirty boots or shoes, sure to find a shoeblaok sitting on his stool at the corner of the street The gen tleman put his foot in the lap of the shoeblack without ceremony, and the artist scrapped it with his spudd. wipped it with his wig and then laid on his composition as thick as paint with his painters brush.
 The stuff dried With rich polish. re- quiring no friction, and little inferior to the elaborate modern fluids. save only the intolerable odors exhaled from eggs in high state of putridity. and whlch filled the house which was en- tered before the composition was quite dry and sometimes even tainted inc ar or fashionable drawing rooms.
