Changes Years
 Have Wrought
 With Broadway

New York, July 26-The ubiquitous soul who does his bit toward the set clement of world problems by writing letters to newspapers has been regal ing New York editors with observa- tions on changes that recent years have wrought with Broadway and life along that thoroughfare.
 Regard, he says, how the movie shows have showed articulate actors into the side streets. See what has become of the famous old restaurants. They have gone, and uninteresting shoe shops and drug stores have talk en their places The table d'hote re- sorts where dinner and laughter and liquor kept patrons happily ensconced around the tables until bedtime are earlier The good old crowds have vanished, he writes Diners seem to regard eating as a duty. And it used to be an experience, not without an occasional thrill.
 One hotel has done away with it's jolly hunting room where the boys used to get together, and the space has been rented to bourgeoisie Iner- chants And those viri1e chop houses where banqueterS robed themselves in huge white aprons and fraternized over juicy beef steaks are now admit ting women to their tables. The mid night shows have closed, and the cleo tric signs lure one only to a white goods sale, cosmetics, a movie show or chewing gum.
 And the clubs-oh, how they have changed! The cafe is deserted, the wags have forgotten to jest and make merry. The stewards say they have as many diners as before, but only because men want. company at din ner. Even the new night time traffic regulations in the=theater district have kept the crowds away.
 Meanwhile the men who conduct business in this great hotel, shopping and theatrical district have banded together ito help bring about a fair and proper municipal regulation of the district which will not be detri- mental to business interests, the life and happiness of the New Yorker and the visitor, and to perpetuate the name and fame of the worlds great est money-spending center" Their organization was incorporated as the Heart of New York Business Mems Association, and includes those whose interests are embraced in the district between Thirty-fourth and Fifty ninth streets and from Madison to Eighth avenues

London, July 2e - Swansea, one time leading coal port in the United Kingdom, is likely to develop into the greatSt oil port of tfDe country.
 Already facilities have been made Tor supplying fuel to TecoHverted oil burning warships, besides the rapid ly growing fleet of British and for e1gn oil-burning vessels
 The Anglo Persian Oil Company, has sunk s40.oOO.ooo into this new venture, and it has large measure Of support from the British Govern nent.
 The crude oil is unfoaded at Swan sea and pumped through pipes under ground to refineries, which are situ- ated in a. new town which has been built on the outskirts of the city. After treatment the oil is returned by the same way for distribution
 Huge storage tanks have been erected and wharves constructed, where three vessels can load and dis charge simultaneously.
 When the scheme is developed and extended six or seven vessels are ex- pected weekly with crude oil cargoes
 Although large sums are In the ex- pertinent, it is stated that the ven ture is only yet in it's infancy, and that in few years Swansea will be o11er1ng serious competition to Amer ican oil companies

MoSt or these e&pOrt45 went to Eng land, long one of Hollands best cus- toners.
 Development of mixed farming in the districts along the lines of the Canadian National Railways had made nearly every Western Canadian framer the owner of at least few head of cattle, hogs and sheep. Dairy products have reached total value of $250, 0,000, 900 annually. One dairy iarged to a daily capacity of 5000 pounds of butter and 2,O00 gallons of cream to handle the farm output in the immediate vicinity. A survey of that territory indicates a 100000 900 output by the farmers this year.
 A marketing service has been in stituted by which cream will be pur- chased on strictly Government graded basis. Farmers producing the highest quality cream will receive several cents per pound premium for butter fat daily pay check sys- tenn will allow farmers full net pay ment the day their produce is re ceived. A motor truck service insures quick delivery for all trains reaching the 250 towns in the Saskatoon ship ping district

THE DOPE FIEND

Don't despise the dope fiend. Feel sorry for him and do what you can to help him. Too many of us have only contempt for him. Drug add1c- ton is, in most cases, neither a, crime nor vice, but a disease contra cted through weakness It is an auto intcxication that affects every part of it victims make-up-WiIl, intellect, moral, physical and spiritual being
 The management of this disease should lie only in the hands of a, conl- petent physician.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Lopsided Beauty Surgery

Some time ago I had my cheeks filled out as they were rather hollow. surgeons part, however, he put more filling on one side of the face than the other, with the result that one side of the face is slightly wider than know if medical surgery has found any way by which some of this filling could be removed from under the skin without leaving enough scars to attract attention?
 Answer-I fear not Nature has sometimes a way of evening up such inequalities. I hope it will be so with you.
 Hay Fever and the Eyes
 My eyes have lately been bothering me considerably. I have also had hay fever all my life. They seem to water more than they ever have before. CD Do you think that hay fever has caus- ed them to weaken? (3) Would Tim othy grass innoculant help my hay fever? How long would the effect last?
 Answer-(1) There is probably cause and effect relation. You do not state your age; as people grow on to 50 their eyes are apt to weaken with than advancing years. In this case the hay fever would not be the cause. CD Yes. if that kind of weed has caused the hay fever.

 Removing the Appendix
 Should the appendix always be re- moved in case it should become dis eased?
 Answer-Whether or no the appen- dix should be removed depends on the individual case and on the views of the Surgeon-conSuItant Some sIIr geons maintain that every appendix should be removed as soon as the di- agnos1s of appendix disease is made. otherS would operate only in cases of rupture, or when there is abscess for nation, or in cases that do not inn prove in a. week or so, or when inc disease is steadily getting worse Every appendix that has been inf1ann- ed more than once, no matter how mildly, should certainly come out Tn most cases it had beeter come ont sf- ter single attack. One surgeon re- moved the appendix from his own six days old child, just so as to take no chances. io

 Dear Sir: Recently I took a pre- ecrfpt2on for lenses to a Bridgeport optometrist Hlho said that it would cost $z-5O for the two lenses. I de ctded that I could not leave him the presrfphfon, paying that price, but that could get them cheaper in New York. He thought not I am now wearing both new lenses which were lbought in New York.

Persons who expected to travel about the city in the Jitneys, gathered in small crowds on the street corners. and no one hesftated to express his or her opinion in most positive language The re-appearance of the buses was greeted with shouts and cheers, and in some instances, traffic officers re- ceived a loud and jovia1 ''razz'' as the loaded machines passed their corners. it's popularity in Bridgeport
