SURVEY OF LOCAL
 WATERS STARTED
Explorer Begins Triangulation And Wire Drag Work in
 Castineau Channel.

The Coast and Geodetic Survey EX petition, in command of Lieut.. Com N. H. Heck whose headquarters are on the U. s. Ship Explorer has started on what is described by Commander Heck as the most ex- haustive survey of Gastineau Chan nel ever attempted. The work is to consist in trianglf1ation of the Channel. topography of the shore line and the water fronts of the various cities along the shores. magnetic operations and complete wire drag survey with solndings to, develop the extent of all shoals.
 Commander Heck said today that the charts now in existane of Gas tineau Channel were made many years ago. They are sadly deficient in the matter of landmarks as the whole district has grown since they were made. It will be necessary while the triangulation is on fOT| shore parties to tresspass in some cases on private property to set un monuments
 Compass Variations.
 Particular attention also is to be given to the determination of re- ported variations of the cOmpasses in the vicinity of Thane and Tread well, caused. it is supposed, by the large quantity of iron in the ore bodies there.
 To correct misunderstanding regarding wire drag work that many boat owners have had that when the wo.k is going on the whole Channel Is taken up, Commander Heck said today. When wire drag work is in progress, vessels and launches can safely pass over the wire at any point except between the towing launches and the buoys nearest to them. 1t is requested that care be used to avoid fouling the small buoys by attempting to pass to close to them.
 All points determined by tri- angulation will be carefully marked and described and will be available in the future to determine accurately determined points for survey anu other purposes

to stay few days to make some local
firms pay for goods" said the Ameri-
can. IS far our local agent hasn't
succeeded"
"This is evidently your first time
here; you'd better make that Jew
days a few weeks" advised the CORES
pendent
The American SO far has spent two
months, and he is still wrestling with
conditions, one Of which is that his
local agent insists on opening his mail
and private kilograms, and calling it
mistake"
1t is generally stated that American
exporters must begin at the bottom
and secure laws at home which will
give consignees more protection.
Boxes and pieces should be properly
marked, and cases filled. Ship car
riers should be made to stow goods
properly so that a given lot is dis
charged at the port of destination as
a lot, not as series Of separate pack
ages. Also, bills of lading should be
properly forwarded so the consignee
will know when his goods will arrive.
1t has happened at this port that a
ship with several lots of goods has
discharged the lots in small parts in
various lighters, and also without
notification to the consignee, so the
latter has lost heavily in time, dam
age, theft and storage charges. Also,
cases often arrive empty or partially
filled, or with goods not up to sample.
Too often the American exporter
has treated this market as a dumping
ground and sent goods of the quality
and nature used by Cook on his voyage
of discovery through the Pacific.
These things being true, given con-
ditions often bordering on Bedlam,
the American is advised to be wary
and remember the common saying of
the Levant that sit takes three Jews
to outwit an American, and three
to outwit a Greek"

RATE HONESTY HIGH
IN C0NSTANT|N0PLE
LITTLE AFFECTION PAID TO KILL
INGS, BUT HONESTY in TRADE
IMPORTANT.

Constantinople, April 22-(By A.
PAN honest business man who Will
keep his word in a trade is pr1zed
above fine gold in Turkey, for there
is hardly a law now functionlng in
this distracted country. A man who
breaks his word in business is never
let into the inner circle of big traders
for honesty is today at higher rating
here than ever before.
One may steal or kill with large
limit of impunity Some months
since in Batum, an Englishman was
put upon and in self-defense killed a
man. Frightened as to consequences,
he began collecting evidence to show
he had acted in self-defense. After
he had collected his evidence, he
found no one was interested IN the
case, and also there was no one to
whom he could submit 1t.
Constantinople is an importing and
exporting center, the logical clearing
house for. the Levant, with much mer-
chandise in transit or in bond.
Americans have traded here in unpre-
cedented numbers since the armistice,
and some of them have lost money.
Naturally they blame the local agents,
the city, the conditions. According to
Julian Gillespie, the United States
commercial attache, there is often
good deal to be said on both sides.

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT AND
AND WCHES APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin
specialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into pleasant cold cream,
gives such quick relief even to
fiery eczema, that nothing has ever
been found to take it's place.
Because if it's germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
lions, rash, pinples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You
can get little jar Of Mentho-S Sulphur
at any drug store.
