BRIGHT Beads on Black.

Beads have been for time relegat-
ed, as trimming, to the cheaper
tyne of dress, but have now been
brought back for use on the more ex-
elusive models. COlored jewel effects
in the shades seen in garnets, rubies
and emeralds are introduced into dull
black dresses. The designs are massed
in interesting ways so that the
effect of this trimming, especially in
the evening, is very beautiful, though
it needs to he designed and carried out

First Writino Paper.

The ancient Egyptians were the first
people to make what today would be
called real paper. They made it from
a reed called papyrus, which grew
abundantly in marshy places. And
there is where the name paper came
from. They took slices of the reed,
cut them as thin as they could, and
then laid them side by side; then they
arranged another layer on top. When
dried and rubbed smooth it made a

AIaska's Bald Eagles Vanishing.
WORSE

an very short while there will
not be a bald eagle in Alaska, at the
rate these birds are now being killed
off, said John b. Traintor of Sitka, in
an interview at Washington. During
last summer bounties were paid to
men who shot and killed bald eagles.
1t is said that some 1900 birds were
killed. That is high rate, and If 1t
continues for many more months the
time will soon be at hand when Alaska
will be completely rid of the bald
eagle. The largest specimens Of this
bird come from Alaska and the North
west.

Money Banking and Exchange
Federal Reserve officials have given
every assurance that the general
banking position was never better.
Meantime, the continued inward flow
of gold is raising the general reserve
position of the banking system prac-
tically to pre-war levels. This influx,
which during the past week has again
added several millions to our net gold,
is now involving a movement for
South America Combined with fresh
German reparation payments and
speculation in exchange, the situation
as regards the purchasing power of
foreign currency has been growing so
serious as to give rise to the admins
tration's tentative proposal for an
exchange conference to be held sim
ultaneously with the disarmament
conference. The rapid depreciation
of the mark and of the various cur
rencies of Southern and Eastern Eu-
rope adds force to the suggestion.
Such a conference might result in i'm
proving some contemporary condi-
tons, although ultimate correction of
the exchanges must depend upon tax
reduction and restoration of govern
mental solvency throughout Europe.
Meantime the continued absence G.
any definite SYSTEM of financing for
eign trade and the growth of our one
sided Favorable balance almost un-
avoidably tends to make exchange
quotations less stable than they other
wise would be. The needs of Europe
for cur food stuffs will rather tend
during coming months to accentuate
this state of things.
MARKET Review and Outlook
Midsummer dullness in the stock
market has continued to be charac-
teristic during much of the week. Re-
duction or passing of dividends con
tinued in some prominent instances.
and the fact that business is still I'M
certain regarding Federal tax and
tariff policies have been factors work
ing against much Improvement in
prices. Special attacks upon indus
trials. such as the oils and rubbers,
by bearish traders who have felt that
there was profit in such tactics.
have caused temporary depressions.
Except in special issues which are
contending with conditions peculiar
to themselves. the sinking spells that
are frequently taking place are due
more to professional activities than
to genuine liquidation. Whenever the
market becomes overso!d as has
been the case during the past several
days, rebounds can be looked for due
to short covering. In the long run
higher range of values will no doubt
be brought about, as underlying con-
dtiCns are in the main improving and
the general run of stocks are not
dear, but there are still sufficient un-
certainties in the situation that make
for cautious attitude pending their
solution. With this in mind not much
change in the character of the market
