DON'T LIKE
PAPER CLOTHES
German Officials Have Difficulty
in Making People Buy
Them

Berlin. Oct. Robert SchHi
Minister of Food is attempting .des-
perately to induce the German peo-2
pie to continue to buy the substitute
textiles made of paper so as to pre-
vent increasing the trade balance
against Germany and foreign cohn-.
tries from which the paper clothing
is coming. Thus far it has seemed
to be rather a hopeless task.
The Minister points. out that the
greatly decreased value of the Ger
man mark in foreign countries has
one advantage because Germany can
manufacture such products as it has
raw materials for and underseH- all
competition abroad because, from
the German standpoint, the French
franc, the Italian Ira and the British
pound are worth in exchange several
times more than they used to be.
Minister Schmidt sees hopeful
market for German toys which, he.
believes, has not been destroyed by
the war and he looks also for a good
market for German porcelain, china.
and musical instruments. When the
unrest in Germany has subsided he
predicts o. bright outlook for Ger
man industries.

Nome. Alaska, Sept. 5.-Establish-/

communication between Nome and

British Saloon Keepers Propose
New Bill to Regulate

London, Oct. 3.-Twelve hours a

British saloonkeepers in a bill they
expect to introduce into Parliament.
Before the war the number Of week
day hours for the sale Of liquor was

vincial towns and 16 in the country
The new bill proposes to leave Sun
day hours substantially as they were
in pre-war times, the London num-
her, Z, being applied to the whole OF
England.
Framers Of the measure say they
are seeking to convert the public
house from a place used aWerely for
the consumption Of alco5NsE drinks
into one of varied public;ss c;ssreshment
and social entertainment: They pro-
pose to remodel public houses in or
