AFRICAN DEMAND FOR LACES
Trade Of That Section Sure to Be Well
Worth Cultlvating, According to a
Consular Report.

No laces. embroderies or dress trim
mings Of any kind are produced In
West Africa. OF machinemade goods,
principally cotton, large quantities are
imported, being supplied chiefly by
England. France and Switzerland The
native women use them In embroidered
under and top skirts, chemises, chemi-
settes and kimonos.
This Is true as regards the native
women in all West Africa, even in the
far interior They fancy the top chemi-
Sette, or short chemise, worn as a XII
mono. For the most part the goods
are embroidered, but many have begun
to wear garments with insertions and
laces Light figured and fiowered
voiles and dimities are well liked In
Senegal.
Many Of the women are seen wear
ing some of the best qualities Of these
goods, especially the voiles though, of
course the cheaper grades of the dimi-
ties find larger sale While no sta
tistics Of importers are available, the
trade undoubtedly is of sufficient I'M
portauce to cultivate. All the large i'm
porters are more or less interested In
these articles, as in cotton goods gen

NOW SHORTAGE Of CANDLES
Which It May Be Enabled to
Regulate Supplies.

News Is coming from many parts
OF the country that the shortage Of
candles is increasing owing to the fact
that many people who did not use them
before are now supplementing their
gas and electric light rations by their
use. 1t Is becoming more clear every
day that some means must be adopted
to insure that householders In rural
districts, where there Is no gas or elec
tricity. have an adequate supply Of
illuminants. Important national indus
tries which cannot well he carried on
without an adequate candle supply
must also be protected. A scheme for
controlling candle supplies is engaging
the attention of the ministry Of food
During and since last winter there
has been a candle shortage, The oils

IN SPANISH HALL OF FAME
The Name Of Espartero, Duke Of VII
toria, Has Been Properly Ac.
corded High Position.

Fifty years ago Queen Isabella was
dethroned, and Spain threw off the
yoke Of the Bourbons and inaugurated
new order Of things, looking at least
to the establishment of constitutional
government, if not q government Of the
people.
ESpartero, duke of Nittoria, was
placed at the head of the state. He
had occupied that position on two for
mer occasions. He aided in securing
the succession OF Isabella, and success
fully led her armies in putting down
the Carlists. In the nsurrectlon of
1910, caused by the law suppressing the
freedom of speech in the town coun-
ellis, Espartero became head Of the
government and was confirmed in that
position by the cortes. and was APP
pointed regent during the minority of
the queen. He was deposed IN lS43
and had to fly to London for safety
In lS41 he was recalled to Spain and
by the revolution of 1854, which drove
the Queen Mother Christina and Mar
vaez from the country, he was again
placed at the head of the government
position which he resigned in 1856
Espartero was born in 1892. He was
the son Of a wheelwright, commenced
life as a common soldier In the Span
ish army and gained his honors and
titles by his own ability as n soldier
and statesman.

copper was discontinued In 1917. Alu-

now made Of aluminium, which IS more
attacked by ordinary water, soda
