Americans for subscriptions to the

each country should finance it's own

British labor and to Anglc-American
friendship for either of US TO inter

The new register, with six million
women, should be ready by October.

not help hoping that general cleo
ton will be again postponed. The

iently to vote and it is not to be as
sumed that the soldiers minds ara

Price of Clothing and the
Supply of Wool Since Under
Control of the Government

Somewhat in contrast to repeated
be scarce is an official announcement
from the war industries board. which
says that the government control of
wool and woOlens has reached stage
(which makes possible the assurance
to cloth mills and to clothing manufac-
turers, jobbers and retailers that wool
will be equitably distributed to meet
both government and civilian require
ments. The price will be regulated to
assure fair and reasonable profit TO
the industry. but range of prices will
not be permitted which will allow alb
normal profits with the consequent un-
justifiable hardship TO the consuming
public" 1t Is declared that the pres
ent speculative movement In cloth and
clothing will undoubtedly compel def
mite penalizing action If persisted in.
Especially does the statement insist
that there are ample stocks of wool
ems and no cause for imitation. No
dealer should try to buy beyond his
present needs, Ii Is asserted because
there is no reason for II. This signif
icant announcement Is made: There
is no official warrant for statements or
rumors TO the effect that II will soon
be impossible TO buy woolens or wool

No Cross of Gold Found
When Lake in Moscow Was
Drained to Find Treasure

If all the lakes in the world dried
up, what would we find in their beds?
The question is raised through
recent allusion TO Lake SemlevO, in
Moscow, which for century was said
to contain a cross of pure gold 10 feet
in height Napoleon-so the story ran
tried TO carry it away with him as u
war trophy, but, when disaster came
upon him, lost it in the lake.
About seven years ago, relates a
writer in Answers, the lake was actu-
ally drained, but no cross was found,
although the bed was scattered with
other relics of Napoleons retreat-re-
mains of carts, horses, uniforms, etc.
There are many similar stories from
other parts. In the depth of South
gold is said to have been thrown by
Peruvian priests when fleeing from the
Spaniards, and the bed of the Danube
is the supposed hiding place of Attila's
wealth.
Attila ordered that on his death the
Danube should be temporarily divert
ed from lis course and that he should
be buried under the river beG with his
enormous fortune. This was done.
And after the river bed had been di-
verified and then brought back again
TO its original channel, the slaves who
had performed the work were killed,
in order that the secret Of the location
should never be revealed.
