BRITISH MERCHANTS
 DISPLAY PRODUCTS
 AT IMPORTANT FAIR

British manufacturers made their best bow this week to the merchants of the world through the fifth annual exposition of the British Industries Fair. The Pen nington street house of the London Docks is filled with exhibits of china, glass, fancy goods, paper and toys from 570 factories, and it is expected these exhibits will be visited by thousands of merchants from all parts of the world.
 IL is purely a British institution, and none but British manufacturers are allowed to show their wares. The first purpose of the fair is to obtain business for British factor ies. All sorts of things are dis played, from the most expensive to the cheapest.
 The toy section is revelation. Once they said in Great Britain German children make what Brit ish children break" but no more, if one is to judge by the endless variety of toys shown in the fair There are airplanes. rigi Zeppe- lins. automobiles, games by the dozen, whole families of dolls. fluffy dogs and china cats. In short, everything calculated to delight the child is there. Once about all the toys they had in England came from Germany Even now some of them come from Japan.
 Every buyer is the guest of the Board of Trade, under whose direc- tion the fair is held, and each one is treated with the utmost courtesy Eighty thousand invitations were issued for the fair, and to the pres ent the attendance has been all that the promoters expected. Last years fair was successful to a marked de- gree, resulting in orders amounting to s1,000,000. This year. because of the inroads made on German trade. the business is expected to be even greater.

COAST PIONEERS

At a recent meeting of the Pioneers of Anchorage the com mittee on resolutions was authorized to prepare and submit resolution urging the removal of all restric- tions upon the development of the natural resources of Alaska. and the continued construction and early completion of the government rail road, to be submitted to all of the seventeen igloos of the Pioneers, having pre-war membership of about 4,0O0 members.
 Such action is authorized under fraternal obligations requiring Pion- eers to work continually for the best interests of Alaska.
 Further action was taken also authorizing the sending of telegrams to the territorial legislature urg- ing appropriations for extended road work to give employment to returning soldiers.

THAT WICK LETTER

Secretary Lane is highly thought of by Seattle and Washington peo. pie who have interest in Alaska's welfare, including the Alaska Bu. reau of the Seattle Chamber oi Commerce. saId Capt Fleischman, well known Alaskan, who arrived at Juneau recently after a stay of several months in the States. They regard Secretary Lane as Alaska s best friend, and feel that when for mer Delegate Wickersham attacked hlm he attacked them. They know II has been Secretary Lanes con- tinual interest in Alaska affairs, more than anything else, that has got what favorable legislation Alas ka has received from Congress, and they consider the attack made upon him an injustice to him and to the territory, and done only for politi- cal reasons. They are disgusted with the manner in which he has drawn government proposition into politics.
 All of the Washington delega- tion, including Senator Poindexter, are backing Lane and the appropria- tion for the Alaskan Engineering commission. I feel sure that the appropriation for s13,7OO,000 will he made at the special session, which will convene probably about the middle of May.
 People with whom I have talked all feel that former Delegate Wick erSham has done himself more harm than good, and that the publication of the letter was very bad mis- take"

CANADIAN COINAGE
 UNDERGOING CHANGE

WINNIPEG.-The big penny of Canada, for years the subject of mild controversy in the Dominion, is at last to be replaced by coin somewhat resembling the American cent in size and fineness.
 The government announced, how ever, that the big cent would con tinue in circulation. which is some what of compromise as enemies of the giant penny wanted it melted out of existence. One of their chief arguments was that a person carry ing fifteen Canadian pennies soon became round-shouldered.
 Banks favored the large coin be- cause 1t stacked readily.

NAPOLEON STARTED IT

Construction of a tunnel under the English Channel to connect England and France which, accord ing to government announcements, will soon begin, is century-old scheme broached to Napoleon by the celebrated French engineer Mathieu. Napoleon favored it, but nothing came of the plan owing to war and Napoleon's downfall It was not until Napoleon III came to the French throne that actual preliminary work was undertaken, with the approval of the French ruler and Queen Victoria
 Then came the Franco-Prussian war and the scheme again lapsed. Shortly after that war a convention was signed between France and England setting forth the conditions under which the tunnel should be constructed. On the English side boring operations were begun near Dover al depth of 160 feet and seven-foot tunnel was bored for distance of 2,000 yards. Strong opposition on grounds of military strategy developed in the British

OHIO AUTO NOVICES
 HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

STEUBENVILLE, O.-Probation Officer Dunlavey F. Voorhees, aged 60, and his son Frank, 2S, of this city, have a pretty good idea what the sensations are of a circus per former in looping-the-loop, or an aviator who does stunts in the air. While riding in a closed automobile which the elder man was learning to operate, the car plunged over a l00-foot embankment, to the tracks of the Panhandle railroad.
 Although the auto turned over five times in its descent, had its top ripped off by protruding rocks in the cliff and landed bottom side up, both occupants crawled from beneath the wreckage suffering only slight scratches.

SWISS HARD HIT

Wartime food restrictions still weign heavily upon the Swiss and are expected to remain in force for several months. writes an Associated Press correspondent from Berne.
 The bread ration has been in creased to nine ounces a day and is expected to remain at this allow ance until after this years harvests. The cheese ration is nine ounces a month. Butter is only obtainable in the remote country districts. The sugar ration is eighteen ounces a month.
 There is a great dearth of milk and. although the ration is nominally a pint per day, it is rarely possible to obtain more than half pint. Tapioca, sago, macaroni and many other similar articles of food are entirely lacking Meat, though un- rationed, is very poor in quality and cannot be obtained for less than S1.50 a pound
 The restriction which most serious ly affects the economic life of the country and also the comfort of the inhabitants is the reduced service of trains due to the coal famine. All express trains have been sus- pended and the speed of the few slow trains that run averages about fifteen miles an hour. Connections between trains on different lines are made as difficult as possible to dis courage travelling. Fares have been virtually doubled The trains are packed, many long-distance travel lers are obliged to stand in the cor riders all the way and the jolting Is violent owing to the attachment to passenger trains of freight cars which are shunted at the stations enroute.
 The importation of coal into Switzerland falls short of the neces- sary minimum by l7,000 tons a month and this deficiency must be made good before travelling can be- come normal again. The loco motives of the Swiss State Railways are burning wood instead of coal.
 The war restriction on the use of gasoline is about to be removed Its shortag.1 since 1917 has been 50 great that the entire supply had to be reserved for the use of the army and for physicians in emergency eases. The automobile had almost disappeared from Swiss roads. Now a large purchase of gasoline from Bohemia will permit unlimited sale
