They are hard cobblestones about the

The residents Of Belfast hitherto
have enjoyed the use of the cobble-

The guard was chosen from the Lazes
because they have the reputation of
being the bravest and most ferocious

London, Sept. II. 5.
Plans have been completed for a
great British trade exhibition afloat
which will tour the world In eighteen
months. covering $4,000 miles.
1t Is expected that the exhibition will
sail from the Thames In the summer of
1929, and that It will visit thirty-four
important trade centres. The ship. a
large first class liner. will be specially
constructed for the purposes of the ex-
hibition. and every detail Of the equip
ment. including engine, fittings and fur
niture will In themselves be an exhibit
Of British workmanship at its best. 1t
will be christened British Industry.
The internal arrangements will differ
from any ship afloat. On the decks there
will be cabins for the trade representa-
tives who will make the journey. Around
a large reception hall will be grouped
the exhibition office, inquiry bureau. In
surance office and telephone exchange.
Opening off the entrance hall will be q
restaurant seating 500 persons, while a
reception and ballroom, with domed
roof will extend nearly the whole length
OF the boat deck.
The ship will steam first to the west
coast OF South America.

ing PAYERS" against the hour OF bat
tie. Lately, however. there has been
an uncomfortably Iethal disposition to
introduce firearms and bombs into
these arguments. and the decision OF
the Belfast fathers will prove popular
generally.
That Is not the real reason for the
move. however. Belfast never avoids
trouble. 1t has become the best thing
she does and she Is rather against
upsetting old traditions. But Belfast
is largely OF Scotch economic thought,
to which all bow reverently. and that
Is the real reason for removing the
"pavers." 1t will give work to thou
sands of Belfast's unemployed digging
up the kidneys" from the rest of the
troubled areas and making them
smooth with tar and macadam.
The work has been contemplated for
some time but no city father dared to
begin the work, involving as 1t did the
loosening of these cobblestone weapons
by the wholesale in the streets until
the truce had been signed, and that
was accomplished at the Queen street
police barracks between the leaders of
the two factions this week so that re-
trenchment and reform march on.

France is gradually losing her predomi-

centrs-not because the foreign public
does not prefer French styles. but be-
cause 1t Is no longer possible to find

This Is blamed on the war, which gave
thousands of girls an opportunity to
earn wages which were reached in the
dressmaking houses only after ten or
fifteen years OF apprenticeship and
study Of the individual requirements
Of their clientele.

trained assistants are spelling more
work than is compbsted, while the styles

United States or England. fail to give
the former satisfaction because they
lack the finesse Of workmanship upon
which Frances reputation Is based.
Tho milliners are appealing to the
banks and industrial firms to insist on
low paid apprenticeship which will
prevent employees leaving jobs when
ever they are offered few more francs

Tho secrets Of the Sahara Desert
crossing the sandy waste on camel
trains north to the south. are soon to oe
studied by an automobile party under
the auspices of the French Ministry and
the departments OF Colonies and War.
Recent experiments have convinced
the authors OF the scheme that 1t Is pos
sible to leave Frances Mediterranean
colonies in automobiles equipped with
caterpillar drives which will prevent
their sinking into the sands. The French
inventor, NJ. Kergesse. has improved the
caterpillar idea by q wide distribution
OF the burden so that 1t will not exceed
3h ounces a square inch. and certain
firms are now constructing specia!
series of cars for this journey. Each
car will carry q reservoir of 200 quarts
Of petrol with another tank of 1000
quarts on trailers. which is considered
sufficient fuel supply to reach Timbuc-
too without delay.
The party will include several geolo-
gists who will study the possibilities of
developing the mineral wealth known to
exist in the equatorial possessions but
which, owing to the lack of communica-
ton, are as yet untouched. If the first
trip Is successful weekly departures will
be arranged.
1t is estimated that the Sahara can be
crossed in less than fortnight, while
pack train routes following the coast
lines cannot be negotiated In less than
seven weeks. The Ministry of Colonies
believes that early next year will see the
opening Of Africa's resources, with a
tremendous exodus from the crowded
portions OF Central Europe IL tthe mails

her moorinS in the Thames opposite
Victoria Embanl1ment, where she lay for
many years. and was towed down the
river en- route to Holland, where she

Sixteen years ago this vessel took the
place In the British Navy OF the original
drill ship President. which was then In
East India docks.
The first President was a frgate, and
she passed through many vicissitudes
after her capture by the British. She
was practically rebuilt, with new bow
and a new stern and ultimately became
the storeship India. However. she was
always regarded with much pride by
British sailors.
The President Sd was a vessel on
whose books were entered all the naval
officers stationed at the Admiralty, and
during the world war even officers on
duty in distant parts of the far seas
were supposed to be attached to her In
order to keep the Germans in ignorance

set up at Muroran and Kure for the
purpose. Confidence is felt in Japan
