That's the way, according to the big

worth while potash producing plant in
the west was started. At first the
potash was obtained by an open-
trough evaporation process. Oddly
enough it appeared that the more pot
ask was taken from the lake the bet
ter and more abundant the remaining
potash grew. Then more modern ma
chinery was put in. Other people
owning alkali lakes heard of the new
idea and began to get potash out of
them. The results were oddly spotted.
Some of the lakes were as bright and
beautiful and bitter as any alkali
lake ever was. but they did not have

Paper in Place of Tin.
The Square in Place of
the Round Package.

Styles in Packages of Food
Products are subject to change as
well as in the clothing line.
Z With some trade the Square Can
has been more popular than the
Round Can. Costs of package are
the elimination of an expensive
container. War times brought sub
stitutes for Tin and the round
Cans, and paper containers have
been largely superseded by the
square paper cartons.
Modern automatic machinery en-
ables the manufacturer to handle
the square carton to advantage.
Government officials figure that
there is a saving in space of 23Ps by
using the square package. This is
conSiderable-these days of Freight
congestion. There is also a saving
of about 200 in weight-but the
! great argument in favor of the
square carton package as compared
with the round tin package is the
greatly reduced cost per pound for
the container. Tin cans on being
emptied of their contents are

wanted and wasteful to the thrifty
housewife-and 1t certainly is. The
Tin. it is admitted. Is a good con-
tainer, but years OF experime nting
and constant and general use have
proved that the modern carton
with it's especially prepared lining
papers answers every reasonable
demand of the trade and delivers
its contents in prime condition. The
saving of cents per pound is the
sufficient and economical reason for
it's general adoption as an efficient,
handy container for many other
articles used in the households as
well as Food Products. The famous
White House Coffee is now packed
and shipped in the square carton

WHITE SOX SERIES
 SETS A NEW RECORD

The series between the Yankees and White Sox, which closed at the Polo Grounds yesterday set an att tendance record never before reached during a stretch of four days in an ordinary pennant race, and touched but seldom during a worlds series. The total attendance for the four days was 129,0OO, oran average of more than 32,0O0 per day. Considering the fact that weather conditions were bad enough on two days to cause de- lays of almost an hour, the attend ance figures are all the more remark able On Saturday 36,000 fans saw the Yankees defeat the White Sox and on Sunday 33,O0O looked on while the Hugmen repeated. Mondays s duobleheader drew 28,O00 to the Polo Grounds and yesterdays crowd amounted to 32,O00 more. From the standpoint of gate receipts as well as attendance this series touched a new high mark in baseball.

PROHIBITIONISTS
 OPEN SESSION

Lincoln, Neb., July 21-The prohi- bition party opened its thirteenth an- nual convention here today prepared to give over much of three days and nights sessions to jubiliation over the downfall of John Barleycorn.
 Indications were that such matters as nominees and platform blanks would wait two days on the jubi- lee.
 The opening session, however, found the delegates almost unanimously in favor of William Jennings Bryan as the presidential nominee and, yet di- vided as to whether the convention should nominate him.
 Bryans friends here, who claim to be speaking for him, firmly reiterate previous statements that he will not accept the nomination, will not run on any ticket and feels that the party should not name any candidates, con- fning its activities instead to local campaigns.
 Groups of delegates planned to try to have Bryan nominated unanimous ly regardless of his own views. There also was a movement to prevent his nomination on the ground that he should not be placed in an em bar rassing position. Nominations are not scheduled until Friday.

PARIS DESIRES
 BETTER TRAFFIC

Paris, July 21-Paris' slow and in adequate surface transportation is ex- pected to be vastly improved begin ming next year when the Departm ent of the Seine, which is Paris and it's suburbs, is to take over all systems.
 Payment is to be made in 30 an- nual installments fixed at nearly 40,- 000,0 francs each but which the au- thorities hope may be driven a little lower by some more bargaining.
 There are 117 street car and A au- to bus lines operating 2540 cars and buses. The companies are capitaliz- ed for 20,e00,o0O francs.
 The city and the department for merfy operated the surface transpor- tation systems but the franchises were given to corporations that have evolv- ed a puzzling network of lines but few of which give transfers. The two subway companies are not involved in the deal.

NEW ENGLAND
 DEMANDS EXPORT EMBARGO ON COAL
By DWIG

New York, July 21-Amp1e coal is being mined to supply the country s needs, but the export of that com modity has dangerously curtailed New England's share, and the only means of saving that section from the shut down of many industries is complete cessation of coal exportation.
 This was the testimony of James J. Storrow, Massachusetts Fuel Admin istrator, yesterday at the first session in the hearings of the Special Senate Committee on Reconstruction and Production, which is sitting in the Engineering Societies building, 29 West 39th street.
 -'"These excessive exports are taking away New England's coal from Hampton Roads, forcing New Eng land buyers into the Pennsylvania field. where they compete with New York, New Jersey and other states thereby causing a shortage in those states Though the Interstate Com merce Commission ordered restriction of exports the effect of the order was nullifed by subsequent interpre tation."

SEAT PRICES HIGH
 AT BELGIAN GAMES

Antwerp, July 21-Chances of for eigners securing boxes to witness the Olympic games appear to be ex- tremely slight, as announcement is made that preference will be given to those who subscribed to the million franc Belgian OIympiad fund and to those who have promised to surren- der rooms in Antwerp to accommo- date the visiting athletes. Ameri- cans desiring boxes or season tickets, therefore, are urged to act quickly, as all demands must reach Antwerp be- fore August 5 and be accompanied by remittances to pay for the ac- commodations. Requests for indf- vidual season places must have small photograph of the person for whom they are intended attached, as they are not transferable.
 Boxes for eight persons in the grand tribunal are to cost 3,2OO Bel gian francs; individual places in the grand tribunal, 300 francs; boxes for twelve persons in the small tribunal, $500 francs; boxes for eight in the small tribunal, 2,400 francs; seats in the small tribunal, 150. francs, and standing places, 75 francs.

LONDON PAPERS SAY WOMEN ARE
 'BETTING MAD"

London, July 21-Some of the London newspapers lament that Eng fish women and girls have gone ''bet- ting mad" and that it is a common thing for girls in offices, on the stage, married women, and even school girls to lay wagers varying from six pence to a pound.
 "Why shouldn't we gamble? % one pretty office girl asked. 'Now the war is over we must have some harm less excitement mustn't we?
 Some of us bet on tennis and golf, on engagements to marry, and even on what word people will open con- versations with.''
 A business man complained his of- flee girls "chatter more about their bets than their work and another de- clared his cook seemed more con- cerned about odds than ovens."
 "She has even melted my wife to making bets," he added.

 IRELAND TO GAMES

Brussels July 21-After an ex- change of correspondence with the British Olympic Committee, the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Olympic games has refused Ireland permission to participate in the seventh olympiad d as a separate nation.

As Ireland had not been included in the list of nations represented on the In- ternational Olympic Committee, the Belgium Executive Committee, fac ing a delicate situation, sought to gain Great Britain's consent, but failed.

VICTORY PROVES
 WELCOME NEWS

London, July 21-Shamrock's sue cess in obtaining two legs on the Americas Cup comes as a cheering surprise to most people here. Sir Thomas Lipton's past failures had in clined the public to believe there was little or no chance for the cup ever to be seen in England again.
 The Daily Telegraph thinks the vic- tory all the more remarkable "be- cause the Resolute showed superior to anything ever sailed in American waters and because the weather was of the type which wrecked the for tunes of every previous challenger"
 The Telegraph says:
 ''It would be absurd to base on yes' terday's result any confident pro- phecies that the cup will be brought in triumph across the Atlantic as con ditions off Sandy Hook are not seri- ously uncertain.
