American Merchants Take Over h. l terestS of German Fur Men.


 Arrangements are being completed by which the interests of German fur men, amounting to several millions of dollars, will be purchased by American merchants and the money thus paid turned into the Treasury
 Before the war broke in Europe, ae- cerdlng to a statement issued by the Alien Property Custodian, the trade of AmerEcan furriers was practically nothing but a collecting and shipping agency for the Germansa Almost every pelt taken by American trap pers went to Leipzig before it could be sold. Although London was the worlds market, three quarters of the fur shipped to London from America Russia, and even China, went to I1eip- Zig for dressing and dyeing.
 The Leipzig dressers and ,dyers were recognized as the best in the world. Each year after the fur was prepared and German merchants had 1 fixed the price, Americans were allowed to purchase as much as three -fifths of the years output for manufacture into garments, but in so doing they were forced to pay the original cost expense of dressing and dyeing. a bis profit to the Germans, and a 30 pei cent. duty, before the furs were re l turned to America.
 The war deprived Germany of ths chance to purchase fur in London. and limited the supply from America now also entirely cut of. Tn New York American dyeing houses art actually operating, and in St. Louie sealskins have been dyed successfully According to the Alien Property Gus. todian, when the readjustment is com. l pleted and the German interests have been taken over by Americans. fur 1 fer European consumption will bl bought in the American market, anS will be American dressed and dyed.

Zone System to Distribute Purchases
 by Quartermaster Department

by Quartermaster Department
 A zone system for the apportion- ment of purchases throughout the United States and to facilitate dis tribution has been established by the
 Quartermaster Department. Terri
 tory has been allotted to each of 13 general supply ,depots. The general supply depot :quartermasters are charged with the duty of ascertalnlng the manufacturing possibilities of their zones On the basis of reports
 along this line forwarded to the Act ing Quartermaster General, food and
 equipment for troops at the different camps will be purchased within the
 zone in which the camp is located. Formerly nearly all of a particular class of supplies was purchased through single general supply depot Other articles were obtained through other supply depots. Manufacturers in sections distant from the particular supply depot buying their goods were unable to compete with rivals nearer the point. Under the new system l most classes of supplies will be pur- l chased through each of the 13 depotsi and manufacturers will be able to I transact their business through the deRets nearest them.
 Each general supply depot quarter
 master besides ascertaining production
 facilities within his zone is instructed
 to recommend to the Quartermaster l Generals office the employment Ri such producers as are in his judgment qualified to fulfill contracts. Each de- ! pot is expected to keep informed as tc
 market conditions and spot goods To-
 cated in that zone and when shortages occur submit recommendations for \ purchase of articles which may be l obtained within the zone.
 1 Purchases are to be made after ad- i vertisement by open competitive bid ding when time EliH permit. In
 emergency cases competition is de- sired whenever possible. The record l of bids received and awards made vii ] he nnen to nlIfllic insnection

Most likely she has more than once been on the point of throwing it away, but if you, madam, who begin this article, happen to own such a thimble, please do not drop it in the dustbin as of no value, or at least, before you do, have the goodness to read what follows:
