Woman Ransacks World for Adornment

 "Carelessly tossed aside In the warmth and light of the theater Hes the lustrious sable wrap. The hun dred or more of little 1S-inch dark brown animals, required to make this coat, tempted trappers into difficult and dangerous enterprises on the fro- zen areas of northern Russia and Si- beria. The fragrance that intrigues your senses is probably the distilled petals of roses grown in the fertile valleys of Bulgaria. A Chinaman in Shantung shed his queue to furnish the material for the net that holds the coiffure in unblemished continuous undulations.
 'aThe ropes of gleaming white pearls that caress her throat were probably gouged from the hearts of the huge thick shelled oysters of the South seas, Australia, Philippines and Burma, or from the small thin shelled ones of Venezuela, Japan, Persia and Ceylon. The platinum for the clasp came from Colombia, and the dia- monds which stud it may have been taken from the dark interiors of sub- terranean depths in Brazil or South Africa, to be polished by diamond cut ters in Antwerp, Amsterdam or Bruges."

New Windmill Idea.

A new French windmill on the prin- tlple of the water turbine, is encased kith a vertical cylinder bladed like a Venetian blind. The cylinder is sta tionary, but the blades or slats guide the wind from any direction to the turbine wheel. After acting on the wheel, the wind escapes from the bot tom of the cylinder. The vertical shaft transmits the power through a succession of gears adapted to light or strong wind, and centrifugal reg ulator controls the speed. The appa- ratus is designed especially for driy- ing an electric generator.

Georgie surveyed with puzzled eyes sentence in his reading lesson. At last he raised his hand:
 Well, Georgie, what is it?' asked the teacher.
 ''What is a feebly, Miss Smith?'
 "A feebly !" repeated Miss Smith, in astonished tones. "What do you mean, Georgie? Feeoly is an adverb, not q noun.'

Cause Big Debate


 Senators Borah, Knox and most oth- CT advocates of toll exemption hold that such legislation would not be in eontravention of the -Pauneefote treaty with Great Britain, under which the United States built the canal. They contend that the provi- sion for equal passage terms to the ships of all nations applies only to the ships of all nations other than the United States.
 President Harding fayors toll exemp- tion, but has indicated that it should be achieved through a new under standing with Great Britain.
 Last year the canal earned $10295,- 362 in tolls, of which $4,724, ,494 was paid by 1,281 American ships; $3,357,- 357 by S67 British ships; $583,643 by 122 Japanese ships, and $411, ,422 by III Norwegian ships. A total of 2,S14 vessels, representing more than 15 na- tfons, passed through the canal.
 The maintenance cost, including $900,000 for betterments, was $7,448,- PIP, leaving 8 surplus of $2,S47 ,090.
 Of the 16,324,024 tons of all Ameri- can shipping, 3,986,755 tons, or less than one-fourth, passed through the canal in 1920.

To meet obligations for the next
few weeks the commission sold an
installment of 100000 worth or
bonds at the rate of $907.10 per
100. Bids for $1,500,000 were
opened, but in view of the low
price offered it was decided not to
sell the full amount but only suffi-
cient to meet current obligations.
Within the 60 or 80 days an i'm
provement in the money market is
looked forward to.
Five Contracts Let.

Of 700 feet of Paragon hose, three

nance prohibiting the use of wood
en- buildings as public garages
