Frederick C.. Emery, Presi-
denS of the Aztec Consolidated
Mining Co., operating mines in
Sonora, has just returned from
a six months trip to Europe.
During most of this time he was
in England and France, al
though he visited Germany,
Belgium, Czecho-Slovakis and
Poland. Mr.. Emery tells of the
great difficulties these countries
are having to get back to norm
al pre-war production. In Engl-
and the mines are working far
more men than ever before and
are unable to produce 8O% OF
normal pre-war output. Steel
and textile plants are unable III
many cases to produce even 6OPo
of the pre-war output. Every
where in England you find the
labor unrest; this, together with
the Irish question, is giving the
Government leaders plenty to
think of.
France is rapidly getting back
to normal, but prices are high
and labor is scarce. The people
all seem to have money as shown
bv the over-subscription to the
recent war loan.
Belgium is nearer normal pro-
duction than all the countries,
but needs greater finances to
carry her.
Germany looks prosperous and
shows less signs of the war than
any of the European countries.
Poland produced large quaint
tiles of wheat and sugar the past
year, which has helped finan-
cially in establishing her new
republic. The extreme rich and
the extreme poor of Poland are
making it rather difficult for all
factions to work together.
The occupation of Poland by
Germany as, in a way, a great
benefit. Germany expecting to
keep Poland made great i'm
provements. The old wide
guage Russian railroads were all
abandoned and industrial works
were established.
Czecho-Slovakia has wonder
full future if she can successful
" market her production. This
little republic was given ter
ritory which took in about 8O9'
of all of tAustria's industrials
and mines. The people are
thrifty and hard-working.
Mr.. Emery, when asked in re-
gard to the League of Nations,
says emphatically that we
should be represented, but not
obligated. We must know all
the inside workings of the other
nations of the world for our own
protection. Our over-produc-
ton will in the future go to the
other nations as never before.
No nation in the world can
compete with our cheap and
moderate priced automobiles.
Even after paying 2590 duty in
to England our cars are going
over there by the thousand.
The greatest difficulty the
past year in marketing Ameri-
can products has been the big
flI1ctuation Of thp exchange.
With the exchange stabilized
the European nations will take
all Americas over-production.
Mr.. Emery says that after all
there is no place like the old u.
S. A., and he is happy to be back
home again.

 MT. Hill. do you approve of the ab- breviated bathing suit for women"
 Mrs. Philpots. who is q welfare work CT in the Quaker City, was stopping over in Birmingham on her way to New Orleans, where she was to take a United Fruit boat for British Honduras, and had gone to Edgewood park for an evenings amusement.
 The question came point blank, but Hugh Hill didn't daily in his answer.
 To tell you the truth" said Hill, T haven't had very much to say about what kind of bathing suits women should wear out here at Neptune beach, 'preferring rather to let them decide the question themselves. How ever, am not a prude, and while I realize there are certain limits. I do not believe in whole lot of fossilized ideas that are abroad in this land of ours.

a woman saved herself from a man, and how a man was saved by woman.
 A girl, Nellie Vaughan, who must make living and support a family by being flower girl at a racy resort, is almost convinced by conditions that life is rotten to the core. Pelter Van Feel, son of a multi-milionaire, has made love to her, to which she has responded. Then she is told that it is all a game with him, designed to trap her. to make her his playthng. This information comes to her from Devln Maddox. who represents himself as friend. She falls in with a plan that he proposes to trap Van Feel instead of being trapped by him. Following a series of dramatic in- cidents, this latter plan is consummated. Then it is revealed that Madox had cooked up the procedure to lure Van Feel into a tight corner there to milk him of his money. When Nellie Vaughan comes to a realization of this. she fights back as only woman can. for it has been demonstrated to her that Van Feel is true blue.

I say, let your conscience be your guide. I'll say this, however: I'm not going to let anybody go in Neptune without what call at least a decent one-piece suit, and by that I mean the thing must not be cut vulgarly low in the neck and the legs should run at least midway of the thigh. Further than that, I say again. let your conscience be your guide.'"
 And, one may think, strangely, Mrs. Philpots said, Good for you" or some thing to that broad and general effect. If they go too far, throw 'em ,out, but if not, let 'em go."
 "So that's what Edgewood parks for" said MT. Hill, "a genuine good time."
 While discussing the bathing suit question, MT. Hill remarked that Edge wood park was ready to aid in enter taining the Rainbow reunion men, and that professional performers had been engaged to appear in Dreamland dance hall and Mountain View inn Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the days of the reunion.

FREIGHT CAR BROKE AWAY
Peculiar Happening Hailed as Some

the practicabllity of theory that Il
freight train may lose car from its
midst and keep 10 its schedule with
Its crew in ignorance OF their loss, and
Ed Mott. of Goshen. the local histo-
rian, is happy.
For a generation Mott has been tell
ing folks OF an Erie train that left Sus-
uuehanna In the winter of 1855 with IL
cars of cattle. Al Port Jervis one car
was missing. II had disappeared from
the middle OF the train without leav-
ing broken couplings or other traces
OF the manner Of Its electment. Two
days later the missing car was found
In Il field near the trnck ut Shohola.
II was empty. The cattle II had held
were recovered In Sullivan county,
New York. They had freed themselves
from the car and crossed the Delaware
river on the ice.
Engineer Albert o. Roberts was
driving Il train 90 New York last Sun
day morning. At West Tuxedo air
brake trouble led TO the discovery that
the fourteenth car was missing. The
thirteenth and fifteenth cars had re-
coupled themselves Search led IN the
discovery of the missing car alongside
the track mile to the north.
The accident of Sunday was exactly
the same as the one which Mott de
scribes as OF sixty-odd years ago, er-
cept that the modern form Of brake
caused the loss OF car TO be dlscov-
cred more quickly than was the case
in the old days. when the couplings
were of simple design and the brakes

litional. The buffeting of winds and
the inhalation of large quantities of
oxygen stimulate digestion. assimiln
