HOLD WOOL IN THIS COUNTRY
War Trade Board Takes Steps to

the Army and Navy.

Restrictions governing the exporta-
ton and importation of wool were
frightened recently by the war trade
board with view to conserving Amer
lean supplies and checking the increase
in prices, which have risen 2O0 per
cent.
No commodities containing wool will
be permitted in future to leave the
country, it was announced. if, in the
judgment of the board, the wool is
needed for the uses either of the army
or the navy.
Importers before they can obtain IL
censes will be required TO sign an
agreement that they will sell no wool
to persons other than manufacturers
and that they will give the govern
ment an option to purchase all wool
imported at a price 5 per cent less
than the price that obtained for the
same grade July 30. 1917.

ENLISTED MEN MUST HELP
Portion of Government Allowance Re-
qulred to Be Allotted for Benefit
Of Their Dependents.

Every enlisted man in the military
or naval forces of the United States
must aliot for the benefit Of a wife or
child an amount equal to the govern
ment's family allowance, with maxi
mum. however, of half his pay and n
minimum of SIS per month, according
to the American Review of Reviews.
IL he has no wife or child and makes
no voluntary allotments for other de-
pendents, or for other purposes, the
secretary of war or navy may require
him to deposit with the government at
4 per cent compound interest half his
pay, or so much of half his pay as he
does not allot either for his dependents
or for other purposes.
This puts the man with dependents
more nearly on o democratic footing
of equality with one who has none and
the better-paid American soldier with
the poorer-paid European with whom
he is fighting.
The family allowances are based on
n graduated scale depending on the
number OF dependents, and are condi-
toned on allotments of equal amounts
up TO half pay. In no case. however
does the allowance exceed $50 for one
family. An ordinary enlisted man re-
ceiving S33 per month In foreign serv-
ice, II his family is large enough. may
be required 20 alot S1650 per month
and secure thereby for his family to-
tai income OF s6650 per month.

POISONOUS Constituent of Ivy.

Whether the poisonous constituent
of poison ivy is chemical or bacterial
is discussed in the Medical Record.
Doctor Frost insists that 1t is bac-
terial, because of the incubation pc
riod, the complete natural immunity
of certain individuals, and that expo
sure may be strictly limited to proxim-
ity of the plant and for other rea-
sons, and asserts that he has found a
form of bacteria constant on all leaves
examined.

tact with the resinous sap must occur,
and that neither mixing with mercury
nor heating destroys the poisonous
quality of the sap. He therefore be-
lieves the action Is chemical.

ORIGIN MARK FOR
BRITISH PRODUCTS

London. Nov. 6.--The following re-
ply was given by MIR Hughes, prims
minister OF Australia. when he was
asked by c. Freeman Murray sec
rotary OF the British Empire league.
whether he was in favor Of a mark to-
distinguish h origin of goods man
ufactured Or produced in the British
empire:
Yes. ! am. for such a mark will
be a simple n defnite means OF
Identifying genuine British goods. In
my opinion. this mark Is absolutely
necessary, for the enemy after the
war, will Use many means to conceal
the origin of his goods, and will pass
them off as of British or allied man
ufacture. 1t was quite a usual prac-
tice before the war for firms to Inn
port German goods and hen mark
these goods with a British firms name
or trademark, thus suggesting Ger
man goods were British. People will.
| am sure. lie surprised to learn that
German goods did not require the
mark Made in Germany unless AT
the time Of importation they had
English wording on them.
IF the British origin mark is
adopted-and / hope it will be at an
early date-even the most ignorant
purchasers will be able 10 know
goods produced within the British
empire. Unless such a scheme 10
adopted 1t is quite useless for pa
triotie individuals IL declare they will
not purchase enemy goods after the
war, as without a british origin mark
they will be only toe easily defraud-
ed. Holding the views which / har
expressed, | am very glad 10 know
hat the British empire league ~
using its great influence to have such
a mark established.
The introduction II al empire pat
ent was also advocated by Sir Robert
Hadfeld at a luncheon of the British

Journals.

BOOZE BREEDS CRIME
AMONG DEAN-EATERS

The following are the official fig
urcs showing the whole number of
arrests and also the number of ar
rests for drunkenness in Boston for
saloons by reason of the epidemic,
and the arrests during the first week
of the enforced closing.
1t will be noticed by reviewing the
figures below that the arrests for
drunkenness on the first day OF the
closed period were less than a quarter
Of the number for the last day OF the
open period. The increase later on
in the closed period may be accounted
for in part by the growth OF business
in bottled goods and in part by the
camoufiage bars consisting of tables
set directly in front of the bars. pro-
vided with the same half-washed
glasses used in serving drinks over
the bars and with only the addition
of the sandwich to carry out the
farce of the dealers cafe license.
