Via Iceland.

The desire that centuries ago made
men look to the North for closer con-
nection between the eastern and west
ern hemispheres may soon be realized
by the shipment of Canadian grain
from Port Nelson, In Hudson bay, to
Rekjavic, Iceland, there to be stored
in warehouses for trans-shipment to
Europe. The ancient Icelandic capt.
tai, dating back to the coming of the
Mortimer in the ninth century, will
thus become an important link in the
international commerce. Hudson bay
is unfrozen during about five months,
and the grain, once stored at Rekjavic,
where navigation is practically always
open with Europe, can be forwarded
as needed. The plan shortens the rail-
way haul of grain moving from the
new to the old world by about thou
sand miles; and the grain ships cross
ing the bay will travel a twentieth
century version of the new route for
commerce which the old navigator,
Henry Hudson, was seeking in the
Early seventeenth.

Bucks County Briefs


BYistol's population was increased
materially during the month of Aug
ust. The stork far outdistanced the
grim reaper in the borough, there
being 40 births as compared to only
9 deaths
Miss Lula Traves is in Grand Jew
Hospital, Sellersville, with revolver
bullet lodged in the base of her brain,
and Artheur Collins, SO years old,
who did the shooting, is dead. The
shooting occurred on Sunday evening
at the home of Miss Travers, near
Brick Tavern, about two miles north
of Quakertown.
Roeller Smith, of Sellersville, met
with an unusual accident on Monday
evening while assisting at the family
washing. The electric washer which
he was emptying of water fell, and
in an effort to save it his hand was
caught between it and the floor. A
gear on the machine bruised and cut
tendon of his left hand so badly
that trip to Grandview Hospital
was necessary. The young man tried
to stand the dressing without an an
nesthetic but eventually had to sub
nit to the administration of ether.
Hope of healing the tendon is enter
tanned by the physician.
Unorganized cigarmakers at a
meeting on Saturday, at Quakertown,
voted to return to work. They had
been out for a period of seven weeks
during which time their loss in wages
is estimated at $4,000.
Union men met on Sunday and en-
dorsed the action of the unorganized
men. Five hundred workers have been
affected by the strike. Their demand
was a fifty per cent. increase, a A
hour week, grievance committee,
and better working conditions.
With a big increase in population
in this section Justice Cooper's office,
Tullytown, is becoming a popular
place these days. Heretofore the JUS
tice had but few cases to come be-
fore him for trial, but now his office
is busy one and there has been a
decided increase in the size of his
docket.
In an effort to meet the demand
for homes in Bristol and Hartman,
the Merchant Shipbuilding Corpora
ton has converted thirty-three of it's
bachelor quarter buildings in the town
into apartment houses, and will follow
the same procedure with all its bunk
houses" Two apartments have been
made from each of the bachelor dwell
ings, thus providing Accommodations
for &c additional families in Harri-

ment and that the day at the Fair is
one of practical education and pleas

order to win.

Dog Show at Trenton Fair.

1t has been several years since
Trenton Fair included a Dog Show
held under American Kennel Club
rulings, but this year the Fair intends
to have real one. There will be a
goodly lot of prizes, class and special,
and a picked corps of judges of wide
reputation. Dogs-big and little,
wide and narrow, high and low, thick
and thin, leggy and dumpy, will be
there All kinds, but not all conditions,
as they will have to be in the pink
to pass the veterinary at the gate.

Discouraged Aids to Beauty.
9-19-4 T.

In the day of Louis XIV LaBruyere
wrote this: "If women only desire to
be beautiful in each others eyes they
may, of course, follow their own ca
price or taste as to the way in which
they dress and adorn themselves; but
II they desire to please men, If it is
to charm them they rouge and paint.
I can assert in the name of mankind,
or at least of those men whose votes
have taken, that white and red paints
make women look old and hideous that
IT IS as disgusting to see women with
paint on their faces as with false teeth
in their mouths and waxen balls to
puff out their thin cheeks; and that far
from countenancing it, men solemnly
protest against all such arts. which in.
fallibly tend to cure them of love"
The wonder arises If LaBruyere
spoke only for the men of his time,

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

In spite of mud and cold chilly air
the Sunday school crowd was out in
good form, little late but better late
than never; Mr.. Gilman reports PIP
pupils in all; the primary department
under Mrs. Chas. Polster had about 70
youngsters out. Another new class
was organized to take care of this
ever growing family of future citi-
zens. The individual class rooms are
being fitted up and equipped and the
work in the new church getting under
nice head way for great success.
Next Sunday the contest between
the "Blues" and the "Reds" beginsi
the classes with even numbers will be-
long to the Reds; the uneven to the
Blues; find your place and get to

weeks from next Sunday and it is
hoped to increase the regular Sunday
school attendance from 225 to 600. Al

Rev. 0rton preached very interest
ing and intensely practical sermon. at
the morning services; with the aid Of
a daily newspaper picked at random
he pointed out the things people are
interested in to the detriment Of the
finer things Of life. DR.. orton is first
and always a preacher for souls and
you won't get into his church without
an invitation to step out and confess
for Christ; however, Rev. 0rton is a
man who has travelled much, even into
the Holy lands and he has a way of
reaching his people and the stranger
that may be in the audience that does
not curry" folks as some preachers
are chargeable.
If the great war has done anything
it has awakened the spiritual nature
in most men and the churches with q
wide awake minister are not loath to
take advantage of this opportunity to
reach men and women.

Just what will happen next to sports clothes is a fascinating subject for speculation. The new weaves in silk have intrigued them into beautiful ex- travaganceS, and other unusual fabrics have lent them originality. All sorts of materials, from leather to cricket flannel, with company of sturdy woolens forming their main depend ence, invite designers to become inde- pendent. Cleverness is at a premium, nothing is considered cratic and there are sports clothes and sports clothes some of them for actual sports wear and some of them merely versions of sport styles.
 For actual sports wear, coats and skirts of wool, or heavy cotton, are plain and cut on boyish lines. Skirts wide enough and patch pockets big enough are their sensible outstanding features. The sweater and sweater coat, in greater variety than ever, re- appear entitled to more service stripes than any other garment. One of the new, short slip-on models occu- pies the center in the group of three sports costumes pictured here. This Is very popular model and is made

of the war She was visiting friends in the States and has been unable to return to her own land, for reasons that must be obvious I may as we'll confess that her father was, by mar rlage. an uncle of the late ruler.
 Since the invasion and overthrow or her country by the Teutonic allies she has been endeavoring to raise money here for the purpose of equip ping and supporting the remnants of the small army that fought so valiant ly In defense of the crown. These men, few thousand only, are at pres ent tnterned in neutral country. I leave you to guess what will happen if she succeeds in supplying them with arms and ammunition. Her work is being carried on with the greatest se crecy. To bring the story to close, 1 was instructed to keep close watch on the man O'Dowd I traced him to this place. 1 was on the point of reporting to my superiors that he was m no way associated with the much sought-after crown-cousin, and that Green Fancy was as free from taint as the village chapel, when out of a clear sky and almost under my very nose two men were mysteriously done away with at the very gates of the place. The killing of those two men changed the aspect completely. You will certainly agree with me after have explained to you that the one known as Andrew Roon was no other than the equerry who had undertaken to find the-young woman"
 Barnes drew a long breath. His mind was made up. He had decided to pool issues with the secret agent, but not until he was convinced that the result of their cooperation would in no way inflict a hardship upon the young woman who had appealed to him for help. He was certain that she was the fair propagandist described by SprOuse.
 And the young woman, what of her? She would. in any case, be held for examination and"
 My dear sir, I may as we'll tell you now that she is a loyal subject, and, far from being in bad grace at court is an object of extreme solicitude to the ambassador.
