BUYING FROM THE PAPERS.

NEW YORK, August 16 Especially -
In the opinion of leading garment
manufacturer. people are now doing
their buying from the newspapers"
He explained this by saying that the
shopper does not go to a store pre-
pared to pay what is asked for an
article, but makes comparisons of the
prices appearing in advertisements
and then makes a decision as to the
store in which the purchase will be
made. For this reason the COMPETE
ton at present is of a much keener
type than in normal times when mere
ly few visits from store to store
were necessary for comparison pur-
poses.

Secretary Payne Believes in Max
ing Resources Profitable.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. August 16.--
John Barton Payne. Secretary of the
Interior. who passed through here
with Secretary Daniels upon their re-
turn from Alaska. will urge speeding
up development of AlaSka's resources
Some of my predecessors" Secre-
tary Payne said. seemed to think
that Il mine or a tree were things to
be locked up and preserved. But
Alaska is not to be developed by
locking it up. A strict conservation
policy cannot be applied to new
country scantily settled which must
increase its population by using its
resources. ! believe that for time
the wealth of the territory should be
used without stint for the benefit of
humanity"
Mr.. Payne declared Legislation is
needed to provide easier access to
Alaska. Transportation. both for
freight and passengers. must be
cheaper and provision made to handle
traffic during the rushing summer
season.

MOSLEMS OBSERVE
 RELIGIOUS TRIAL

Constantinople, July 21-Moslems have just been observing Ramadan, a month of trials to all classes, espec- tally to laboring men, who are sup posed to go without food, drink and tobacco from sunup to sundown. Turkinsh restaurants are watched carefully by Mohammedan policemen who are instructed to arrest custom CTS and owners alike if any of the followers of Allah violate the laws of the koran. Consequently Chris tian restaurants, and especially those which have private rooms, become very popular with Mohammed edans dur ing the 2S days which are supposed to be given over to fasting and pray CT.
 Big guns are fired in Constanti- nople to indicate sundown and the rush of Turks to coffee houses and restaurants approaches riot in Stam- boul and other Turkish sections of Constantinople.
 Recently evening target practice of the British fleet has frequently been confused--many times intentionally with the food gun and Moslems have broken their fast ahead of time.
 Hot weather has made Ramadan especially trying, as the followers of the great prophet are not even SUD- posed to drink water during day. light hours. Fasting makes the Turks so irritable and impatient that 1t Is extremely difficult to transact business with them. Ramadan is a less trying period to Turkish men and women who are unemployed, as they merely sleep through the day and turn night into a time af feasting. Throughout Ramadan all the minar- cts of Constantinople are ablaze with electricity. The Turkish streets are crowded at night, bands play every where and frecrackers are discharg- ed wherever the allied military off, cers do not prevent.

CANNOT RESCUE
 ENT0MeED MEN

Pittsburgh, July 21-Tfe body of one of the nine men who were en- tombed yesterday by an explosion in a mine at Renton was recovered by the Bureau of Mines rescue teanf early today. Hope for the rescue of the other eight was practically aban- doned when the rescuers, after a trip through a section of the wrecked mine. said the force of the explosion was general
 The recovered body was burned, and leaders of the rescue crew said they believed it would be impossible to establish the identity of the vic tim.
 Members of the crew were lowered down the 500 foot shaft in a tempor- ary cage. They were forced to dig their way through a mass of debris and then make a passage through five mine cars which were wrecked near the bottom of the shaft. After a struggle of many hours the crew fi- nally entered the mine level. Near by the body was found. When it be- came evident that the explosion had wrecked the entire mine, which cov CTS an area of about one half square mile, the crew came to the surface, reported that further progress was impossible until they had cleared way through the level.

FIND QUANTITY
 OF CONFEDERATE CASH. IN GERMANY

Berlin, July 21-American Confed- crate currency in large quantities has been discovered in circulation in Ber- lin and other parts of Germany.
