Secretary Lansing finds, however.
that it is "the rate OF exchange

increasing rapidly since last year"
He reports that in 1914, and until the
early part of 1917, the Chilean peso
was equal to II cents in American
gold" It increased to 80 cents in
1917. "It has been steadily increas-

siderably more than he has ever

On this point we are now about to
consult Hon. Robert Lansing, \. B.,

does not specialize in finance except
for the reason every housewife in

requesting the acceptance OF his res
ignation and announcing that Consul
Mackay and Vice Consul McGurk felt
an equally urgent necessity TO get
into some business which would en-
able them to earn a living.
Secretary Lansing's reply is not on
official record outside OF the State
Department, but it appears that he
induced them TO hold on until he
could explain the situation to the
House OF Representatives. This he
did yesterday in a letter TO the
Speaker so highly educational that

MRS. ELIZABETH MCKAY
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. Elizabeth Mckay narrowly es-
capped serious injury or death Sunday
evening when the gasoline stove drop
ped from her hands and exploded,
SCATTERING the window and setting fire
to the bath room. She was carrying
the gasoline stove-a three hole plate
from the kitchen into the bath room
when the can holding the oil fell off.
She dropped the stove and states that
she heard loud noise and the shat
tcring of the window glass in the bath
room. She ran into her bedroom off
the front hallway and picked up her
travelling bag, her coat and dress and
a pair of portieres. Then she tainted
in the hall, just behind the door where
neighbors attracted by the smoke,
found her. Mrs. Mckay had been
suffering from heart trouble and the
shock made it necessary to call her
physician, Dr. Wells.
The fire department was quick in re-
" lllt anu Vic lllN,
which had begun to lick its way to the
ceiling in the corner of the bath room
and the adjoining kitchen wall, was
soon extinguished, causing little dam
age. Some clothes hanging in the
corner were destroyed, a fur coat and
set of. furs being included The kit
chen cabinet was badly charred and
part of the partition wall between the
bath room and kitchen burned.
Mrs. Mckay had just begun Satur
day to pack her things, preparatory
to leaving for Northport to make her
home with her daughter-n-law. Her
health has been such that she dreaded
to be alone. About week previous
to the fire she fell on the sidewalk
and struck the side of her face and
head. She was still suffering from
the effects of this.
