Chileans Claim
 Goods From the
 U. s. are Delayed

Santiago, Chile, March 13.-Chilean merchants complain of delays in de- livery of goods ordered from the Uni ted States and that in some cases their orders are not filled by North American manufacturers, because the United States does not use the me- trical system of measures.
 Some Chileans declare that, instead of consulting the wiches and peculiar ities of the Chilean market, the Am erican seems inclined to sell only what he has to offer and to impose conditions.
 As evidence of this situation the Chileans cite the case of firm of wholesale dealers who placed in the United States large order for light summer wear textiles which were needed here in December. They paid 30 per cent on account and after awaiting shipment were advised that 1t could not be made before the end of January. This cost that firm it's that no explanations can condone that
 The newsprint paper business is declared to have been completely taken away from the United States by Norwegian competitors because the Americans cannot guarantee de- liveries nor prices.
 One firm of iron founders replaced a big order for material of various qualities and dimensions and two months later received advices that the material could not be shipped as the manufacturers could deliver goods only to approximate metrical measurements.
 There is some complaint that there seems to be no system in the North American export business and that the sellers have lost sight of the principle that the buyer is not forced to buy unless he chooses, that he has opportunity for choice and will buy where he obtains satisfaction in qual- ity. delivery and credits.
 Chile imports about $15O,OOO,O ,OOO worth of goods annually and, now that the nitrate export trade is booming, there is an active market here for public works and railroads, iron for private industry, petroleum, textiles, sugar and automobiles.

ROYAL HOUSE OF SPAIN ALONE HAS
 0LD-TIME P0MP
Strict Pre-War Formalities Are Still Observed at
 Madrid

Madrid, March 13.--The royal house of Spain, despite the democratic ma ture of the King and people, alone among the remaining courts of Flu. rope, retains all the old world for. malities, which up to the outbreak of the war were so vigorously observ- ed in Vienna, St. Petersburg, Berlin ard to more or less extent in Lon- don, Rome and some of the smaller cariSals of Europe.
 This IS due to large extent to the influence of the Queen mother Maria Christina, who remains all powerful in court circles and is stickler for the observance of those forms and ceremonies which marked all occas- ions at the court of Austria, where, as Grand Duchess, she learned them.
 King Alfonso, after receiving in the throne room at the palace in the morning, may rub shoulders with jockeys, bookmakers and the general run of racegoers at the track in the afternoon, but when he returns to the palace in the evening he resumes, as ! it were, the crown. It is generally reported that to him the afternoon, free from coilventionalities, is the happiest part of his day and that he has often expressed desire when harrassed by the political troubles of his country, which seem never to set tie down, to leave it all and take his family off to some South American republic and engage in the breeding of horses, of which he is passionately fond.
 
 The strict, formality of the court was observed at the banquet and re- ception given to the diplomatic corps short time ago when for the first time the representatives of all coun- tries had been invited to the same function since the summer of 1914. The guests saw a display of jewels, which probably could not be matched outside of Asia. Although the diplo- mats were the guests of the evening, the younger members of the royal family preceded them and were to the right and left of Queen Victoria at the tables, the ambassadors and ministers of state coming after them.
 Dinner over, the king and queen with the royalties and dinner guests formed in procession down long re- ception hall where the foreign repre- SentaClVeS presented the members of their st:ffs. The king and queen stopped at each group to pass a few words. but this was the only formal ity of the evening. Later in the throne room guests not belonging to the diplomatic corps were presented.
 The finest scene, however, was on the grand staircase on either side of l which stood row of brilliantly garbed servitors. As the beautifully gowned women wearing many jewels and the men in their brilliant uni forms, passed up and down this stair case changing color scheme was presented.
 Queen Victoria in dress of cloth of gold, 9 wonderful diamond tiara on her fair head, two great diamond necklaces reaching to her waist, was . stately and dazzling figure.
 The Queen mother was equally res plendent in pearls, of which she wore collar of six rows, a tiara, two necklaces and many clusters. Ladies' in-waiting wore jewels formed of every precious stone known, with vied the wives and daughters of the | grandees of all Spain.

The fish resembled in color the American shrimp but is much larger and has taste milder than lobster approximating the crab but considerably more toothsome. "Scampi" is the favorite seafood in practically all of the north Adriatic resorts.

SUGAR CANE USED IN

"NataIite" Proves Commercial

Town Motorists.

CAPE TOWN. July 25.-In its search
for an alternative motor fuel to petrol
the world has the demonstrated COM
mercial success of "Natalite" to guide
Il in the right direction. "Natalite"
(the name denotes its birth place.,
Is a by product of the Natal sugar IN
dustry--whiCh, incidentally, has oeen
able TO supply the households OF South
Africa with unlimited quantities or
sugar throughout the war period at
I'd. per pound. and is now only raising
it's price to Cd. 1t is a volatile spirit
obtained chiefly by distillation of the
crushed sugar cane after the sugar
mills have finished robbing il of it's
sweet contest: and il has been on the
market as motor fuel since the
spring of 1918, when it rescued the
motorists of Natal from a petrol
famine.
The process has really nothing
secret or remarkable about it. Much
tho same sort of power alcohol can
be obtained from any vegetable
growth. Maize stalks, for instance,
are suggested as another promising
raw material. But what makes

not yet resulted in the perfect sub

way to the production of an efficient
motor fuel on very large scale at
price which certainly ought to be con-
siderably lower than the price Of
petrol.
All along tho greatest concern of
the industry has been the discovery
Of powerful denaturant that is both
cheap and in good supply. There arc
