FRAGRANCE IS
 ELUCIDATED BY BANKER

NEW YORK, Jan. 15 (by Associated Press) American importers now pur chasing goods in England, France and Italy for shipment to the United States are waxing fat as a result of the depreciation of the pound ster ling, the franc and lira, according to stories now going the rounds of the New York wholesale district.
 The only "fly in the ointment for the American buyers abroad is the fact that, by a presidential order several weeks ago. United States consuls are required to keep tab on big purchases ascertain the selling price and cable these facts to the United States GUS. toms authorities. Then, by figuring <. the rate of exchange on the date of purchase, the government is enabled to set proper value upon the goods for the collection of import duties. A court of claims passes upon what are alleged to be unfair appraisals.
 The situation is said to be some what like this: An American buy ing pound sterling, say on December 12, needed to pay in American money only $3.66 for British currency, nor maIly worth about s4.87. Now he goes to Nottingham, England, to buy faces, and there, although prices, of course, are higher than before the war, he pays for them in this depre- ciated British money and makes a Handsome" profit Then he ships the faces to the United States, where, by reason of the imitation of the American dollar, they are retailed for from 100 A 15o per cent above pre-war prices.
 The same importer, on the same date, we will say, goes to France. In Paris he has exchanged his American dollars for francs Normally there are 5.18A francs to the dollar, but now he finds one Yankee "simoleon' will buy 11.52 francs, about 60 per cent more than before the war The price of silks has gone up, but he goes to Lyons and there, with his depreci- ated French money, he buys more than he has ever bought before at bargain" prices. The silks reach New York, where they are sold to the con- sumer at double their former retail price.
 Next this importer visits Italy, ! where he finds the lira, 5.18 IS Of which like the franc before the war could be bought for one American dollar, now at a vast discount. In fact, he receives 1347 lire for one American dollar and, we'll financed, he goes to Naples, where he negotiates the purchase of tapestries costing of course, more than in 1914 but in real

 The same financial conditions exist all, over Europe, and in the former Central Empires, or course, they are reported much worse. In the allied countries, however, where there is

 A healthy people loves color. Ameri- cans. with a sense of humor and love of life have too often In the past re- pressed their natural desire for robust color, lest they be charged with levity or bad taste. Only in her outdoor moods does the American girl reveal her buoyancy in dress of radiant color. In the cities we are too subdued.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
OPEN ON SEPT. IS.
School Houses Being Repaired
and List of Teachers
Announced.

Preparations are being made for the
opening of the city schools on Monday
Sept, 18th, for the session of 192O-21
Considerable repair work has been
done on the school buildings, especially
the Beach School house and the one
at Lake Avenue. The Lake Avenue
building has been put in repair, and
treated to a new coat of paint, and
this week workmen are engaged in do
ing the same thing for the Beach school,
something that was sadly needed
Minor repairs are also being made at
the Central School, and by the open
ing day all OF the school buildings will
be in comfortable and sanitary con-
dition, ready to receive our young
folks.
On account of the closing down of
the shipyards and the consequent
moving away of a number of families,
it is not thought the attendance the
different schools will be as large as it
was last year. but there are enough
children left in the city to give all the
teachers selected for the coming ses-
sion as much as they want to do.
The school board announces the fol-
lowing list of teachers for the session:
Professor Mack Morgan, superinten-
dent; Central High School, Professor S.
B. Churchwell, principal; Mrs. Alice
Hull and Miss Mary Henry, high
school; Miss Marie Rourke, seventh
grade; Miss Louise Baker, sixth grade;
Mrs. Alex Jackson, fifth grade; Miss
Dorothy Hague, fourth grade; Miss
Hattie Bell Merriwether, primary;
Miss Edith Lloyd, music.
Lake Avenue School: Miss Belle
Bailey, principal; Miss Estelle Naples,
assistant
Beach School: Mrs. J. c. Alfred,
principal; Miss Gladys Johnson and
Miss Zoe Belle Cox, assistants.

pal; Henrietta Norvill and Lemmie

RAT PROOF HOUSES
RECOMMENDED BY j. S.
Plans to Fight Bubonlc Plague
BY ExtermInatIng the
Useless Rts.

Washington. D. Especial Plans
for radical changes in the construc-
ton OF business buildings, dwellings
and wharves are being drawn up by
the United States Public Health Ser
vice as part of a nationwide campaign
for rat determination, it was ANNOUNCE
ed.
Health officers from various states
and the larger cities. at conference
in Galveston and Beaumont, Texas, to
study bubonic plague and rat extermi-
nation. recommended to Surgeon Gem
eral Hugh S. Cumming that speciaca-
tions for rat proof buildings be drawn
up by the Public Health Service.
These are to be furnished to the
different states and cities in order
that they may be Incorporated in the
building codes throughout the coun-
try.
While bubonic plague is under con-
troll in this country. there will always
be scattered infection until the rat can
be exterminated," said Surgeon Cen
eral Cumming. The most effective
measure is permanent rat proohng Of
all buildings. Plans for this may easily
be Incorporated in any new construc-
tion. While the Public Health Service
can concern itself directly only with
the problem of plague prevention,
there is an important economic prob
lem that enters into this situation,
due to the fact at the present time,
according to authoritative estimates,
there is one rat for every one person
in the United States. To maintain
this huge number Of rats costs the peo-
pie OF this country approximately one
cent per person every day for rat food,
an intolerable and unnecessary bur-
den for the people to carry"

mics, 34.58 per cent for the whole
country
Stated in another way, this means
that for every dollar paid to the rail-
roads for freight in 1914 we must now
pay two dollars or more. Now it is
just as certain as fate itself that every
increase in cost of transportation in
creases both the cost of living and Of
doing business and decreases the ter
ritory in which our products, whether
of farm or factory, can be sold. But
the most vital question today is not
whether we shall pay one price or an
other for the transportation of our
goods. but whether we can get them
carried at all.
In Europe they use waterways as
well as railways. France, Belgium,
Holland and Germany Gas it was be-
fore the war;. whose combined area is
only one-seventh that of the United
States, have 23,20O miles of water
ways, of which they make a continu-
ally increasing use. The tonnage of
goods transported on the waterways
of Germany in 1905 was five times as
much as was carried in 1875-and it is
more than coincidence that, in every
one Of the twenty years ending in 1918
the foreign commerce of Germany,
which is $4,000 square miles smaller
than the states Of Texas, exceeded
that of the United States hy hundreds
