ANNOYING NAILS

Finger nails are such small things
and yet they are so curlously sensitive
that a rough bit of skin pulled off
hastily will start sore that will be
annoying for weeks. Perhaps it's their
very smallness, and their apparent in
significance, that causes them to be
SO much neglected-in retaliation for
which they will develop all sorts of
troubles.
They do not need much care and it
does not take much time to keep them
in condition. But the care must be
intelligent, or the time will not be we'll
spent. And the first thing to remem-
Der is that the nails. like every other
part of the body, sometimes require
to be fed.
We all know the sad story told by
any pair of old, work-worn hands
the blunted finger tips, enlarged
knuckles, marked, misshapen nails.
There is something unusually pathetic
about hands that have labored too
hard. But there's the other story, too
the woman or girl who does not
have to do more than the average
amount of labor. who simply doesn't
know how to look after her nails.
Here are some simple directions:

rather than an hour once in two
weeks. Scrub them with soap and
water; clean with the tip of the file,
dipped in a bottle of lemon juice if
there are any stains on the fingers;
shape every other day with a piece of
pumice board-4O seconds time this
takes; above all, push back the cuticle
daily with an orange wood stick-this
gives that clean edge every woman so
desires to see.
And rub the nails with cream
every day if they are dry, every few
days otherwise. If you want the
cuticle cream, which is healing and
astringent and saves many hours mani
curing, send to me for the formula of
it. I know its value and will be glad
to send it.

 "A roundup of all untagged dogs is now under way and we plan to clean up the city as measure of public safety. Persons owning valu- able dogs should immediately secure a city license from the city tax col lector."

 At least one and possibly two mad dogs are believed to be at large somewhere in the city, it was de- clared yesterday, and the public was warned to be on the watch. Instances of dogs acting peculiarly should be reported to police headquarters, he said.

 Any kind of dog bite is danger ous in hot weather and should be the signal for immediate attention by the family physician" he continued. "A dog doesn't necessarily need to be mad, or suffering from rabies, to cause serious wounds. A bite from a well dog. unless properly cared for, might develop blood poisoning with resulting serious consequences.
 All instances of attacks by dogs should be reported to the police de- partment without delay.

Commercial Trade
Trade Commissioner, To. Be
Sent TO San Francisco at
Once, Is Urged; Plan for
Organization of Industry

Australia is planning an aggressive
campaign for the extension Of its
foreign trade.
The Commonwealth Bureau of Com
merce and Industry in it's first annual
report points out that as the war
taught Australia to manufacture, so it
made other nations that were cut of
from their usual trade channels look
in the direction Of Australia for sup
plies.
The industrial development in East
ern countries is said to mean large
demand for many materials and manu-
features which Australia is favorably
situated for supplying. The bureau
points out that Australia has large
and growing market at it's doors which
can be entered with a marked advan-
tage in point of nearness and time of
transit over the industries of America
end Europe. Vigorous exploitation of
the Eastern markets is urged.
India is stated to offer a valuable
field for the expansion of Australian
trade. The possibilities of extending
commerce with the Straits Settlements
ana America are stressed, and Sectlon
of the report is devoted to China,
which, it is declared, is not only will
ing but anxious to extend it's trade
with Australia.
The bureau recommends the appoint
ment of trade commissioners, attached
to the Bureau of Commerce and In
dustry,>and suggests that such commits
sioners should Immediately be dis
patched to Great Britain, the United
States (San Francisco), France, India,
the Straits Settlements and Java, Egypt,
South Africa, China, japan and South
America (Buenos Ayres).
1t is also urged that there should be
a travelling commissioner, to be dis
patched OH missions as required. The
functions of these commissioners would
be identical with those Of the British
trade commissioners attached to the
Departm of Overseas Trade.

France Sets, Price
Limit ON American
Coal at SO a Ton
Action to Protect she French
Operators Amounts to-
Embargo ON u. S. Fuel, as
Figure Prohibits Exports

PARIS, Feb. 2.---The government has
fixed a new maximum price Of SO a
ton for American coal, free on board,
at French Atlantic ports. This is the
lowest level American coal has reached
since last October, when it sold for
$32 ton.
Coal dealers here regard the govern
nient's action as in effect establishing
an embargo on American coal, because
no American company could afford to
sell at the new price, which, after the
payment Of freight would net not more
than Sd ton.
The new price was made necessary,
according to government officials,
through the fear that France would be
glutted with American coal and there
by be forced to suspend partly, or
wholly, its mining industry. There now
is more than q six months supply of
coal in France.
The government, it was said, does
not wish to issue formal embargo on
American coal interests, which came to
the rescue of France when she needed
coal most.
Although French coal dealers ap-
prove the fixing of the new price as q
temporary measure, they met here to-
day to protest against the arbitrary
action Of the government in fixing the
purchase and sale price of all the coal
in France. The dealers appear unani-
nous in demanding complete freedom
| of action in the coal business, and it is
considered certain that the conference
formally will request the removal OF
ali governme restrictions.
| The convention to-day discussed the
relation of the American coal market
to the French market, and it was the
feeling that the present price mus
be maintained only temporarily, other
wise it might result in the withdraw
Of all American coal firms from tht
French market.
Coal dealers explained that France
will need American coal for man,
years to come, and that it is only be
cause of the present unusual situation
that such low price has been made
Inasmuch as there is very little Goa
being sold in France by American com
panies at this time, the dealers pointet
out, the new price will not work Sc
rious hardship on any firm.

Strange Flash of Light
Mystifies Coast Guard
speciol Dispatch to The Tribune

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 2.--Coast
guards in this vicinity report seeing
a vivid flash of light, followed by, a
| rumble as of an explosion, about 2
o'clock this morning.
An alarm was Immediately sounded
along the coast. Stations tonight were
still mystified over the incident. The
Investigation showed no sign of an ac-
cident at sea. Marine experts have
suggested that the explosion might
have been a floating mine, which would
account for the fact that no wreckage
had been discovered.
Captain Henry Holdzkom, commander
Of the coast guards in Atlantic City,
expressed the belief that the flash of
light might possibly have been the re-
fection Of an explosion in powder
plant in North Jersey. Inquiry at the
plants at Mays Landing, Hammonton,
Raritan, Paulsboro and Dover, how
ever, revealed nothing was wrong there
I The fash could not have been caused
by lightning, it is believed, owing to
the fact that the temperature was be-
low freezing. Norris Smith, Federal
coast guard, was one of three patrols,
miles apart, who saw the flash. Smith
Is attached to the South Brigantine
station. He said:
"a few minutes after 2 o'clock the
sky suddenly lighted brightly, and
turned quickly and gazed seaward, but
1t was not repeated. Some seconds
elapsed and then came the rumbling
of the explosion deep and long. From the
time which elapsed between the flash
ana rumble judged the explosion oc-
Cured some miles off the coast. am
inclined to connect it with the blow
ing up of a steamer or Warship"
John McAney, patrol on duty at At
lantic City, saw the fash and heard
the sound. The lookout at Little Beach,
| twenty miles from here, saw the flash
