DON'T PUT FURs NEAR THE
STOVE

If you're putting summer furs away
and winter ones take the same
treament-be sure that their quarters
are both cool and dark.
The heat of the ordinary closet or
storeroom is injurious to pelts of ali
varieties for it dries out the natural
oil and causes the skin to crack.
Strong sunlight fades the dye and
incubates the moth eggs. Dry, cold
storage is the best means of guarding
against moths and the possibilities OF
dried out, vitiated skins.
Heat is always harmful to fur When
garment has become rainsoaked il
should be left to dry before an oper
window and not put before a heater
F'urs should be shielded from strong
sunlight as much as possible and wher
not in use should be hung in darE
closet.

NICKELS AND DIMES.

If you were to take a pencil and paper and make up an itemized re- cord of all your expenditures during any week or month you would be surprised at the sum that had been spent foolishly.
 A great many persons have learned to become habitual savers by enforc- ing system of self discipline thru which they save what would other wise have been spent to no purpose. Giving up few of the frivolities or so-called pleasures in life has started them on the road to a comfortable ac- emulation of money.
 Those who squander their incomes or their means in spectacular methods are few in number compared with those who failed to save as the result of constantly yielding to impulses to spend small sums ill-advisedly. Pref dent Garfield once said:
 Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up. Experience teaches that it is the men and women who pay attention to small savings that become wealthy. By saving nickels and dimes, thrifty person lays the foundation of for tune"
 Garfield claimed the highest gift and greatest honor within the power of the people of this nation to bestow, be- cause he was fundamentally thrifty man. He fought his way upward from poverty and obscurity. He knew the value of nickels and dimes, and made them count just as he knew the value of minutes and hours, and made them count In the creation of a great il- lustrious career.
 Do not minimize the importance of little things in life. We live our lives minute by minute and hour by sour, and life is mostly made up of a series of small events. We go upward or downward step by step.
 Resist the small impulses to squan- der. If you follow this plan closely life will hold many good things for you. You will not be failure and the chances of your great success will be all in your favor-S. w. Straus, Pres ident American Society of Thrift

GERMANS ID WAR
 ON J. s. INDUSTRY.
Teutons Engage in Terrific Trade Drive in An Parts of the World in Effort to Stifle American
 Competition.

tBy international News serviee.l
 Washington, July 20-German trade kings are gambling their nation al financial security away in order to retrieve lost commercial ground in other foreign fields. This is evidenced by latest reports from Berlin to Sec retary of Commerce Hoover. Utter disregard of price cutting and other German tactics, as that course may affect internal fiscal affairs, is re- svealesi by these dispatches from Amer ican. trade observers in Central Eu- rope.
 Significant of the trend in Germany as the fact that German business fail slres and bankruptcies are increasing. The number of business concerns that failed this year were increased four fold as compared with last year
 Germany continues, upon an even larger scale than was evidenced ear- Her this year, the price cutting war, aided greatly by the Government sub sidies to industry of all kinds. Ger mans are making terrific trade drive nto all parts of the world. This push of German traders, aimed to uproot competition everywhere, is going on with success, even without the aid of the big merchant fleets owned by Ger many before the war.
 Foreign countries are buying heav- fly from Germany and ignoring the goods of American and other pro- ducers, because the German quota tions are so low that bidding against the mis impossible. Reports show that millions of dollars worth of American goods are piled up on the piers of .South American ports, tied up because nf cancellations of contracts covering them, while German goods of all kinds 1sre flooding into those trade fields.
 Cheap German money is big fac tor in this flood of low-priced German .gDods. South American and other countries having depreciated currency can buy at much lower figures from Germany, aided by labor at low wages, have a distinct advantage in the low exchange value of the German mark. Germany, aided bl labor at low wages, government subsidies and goods put out at relatively low overhead costs, IS able to intensity this trade war against America, and government of fcials are alarmed over it's effects and the need for American protective measures.

GIGANTIC WH|SkEY

New York, July 25.-Federal Au- thorities along the Atlantic coast, re- doubled their vigilance over tramp ships today, following disclosure of evidence indicating the existance of at least two gigantic international wnis- key smuggling rings, one having headquarters in this city and one at Atlantic City.
 lAiu pf the navy depaf tnient also was being sought in an effort to build up a rum-hunting fleet capable of cop ing with the mysterious ships and their allied fishing smacks which are alleged to have landed hundreds ot thousands of dollars worth of con- traband liquor at secluded points un- der cover of darkness. According to Leroy w. Ross, United States district attorney of Brooklyn, foreign and domestic capital aggregating several million dollars is behind the whiskey smuggling conspiracy.

 Keenest watch was being kept by revenue boats off Montauk Point, to- ward which, authorities were tipped, large vessel was bound from the Baham Islands with cargo of 15,OOO to 10000 cases of choice Scotch and Irish whiskey.
