highly-respected minister for educa-
ton. fet
M. Berard. it seems, just recently
spent a few days in a provincial
town. At the hotel where the min.
lister was accommodated there was
a very pretty widow, who made
herself particularly agreeable to
the distinguished guest.
Early risers. on the morning after
M. Berard's arrival. were greatly in
trigued to see two pairs of boots out

evidently belonged to a lady.

Quite a number Of women, I

they are quite convinced will break

their faith to certain charms which
they declare will bring them luck
Gamblers Of this class are bad

pARIS is kind to bachelors. The
gay city has a tradition that they

and public arrangements are made
in their favor. Here is an instance:
An English matron went to book
seats at the opera for a piece in
which the ballet was a particular
feature, but was told that all the
seats were taken. She happened to
see by the plan that there were
many seats vacant in the two front
rows of the stalls.

II HAVE just seen one OF the
dream salons" OF which GER
tain Partisan furnishing firms
are now making a speciality. The
dream salon." to tell the plain
truth. is nothing less than lux
urious opium den.
Low divans. with cushions in the
most gorgeous Oriental colors. and
small tables about foot high, are
the only furniture of the room. No
daylight enters the apartment. BY
a hidden mechanical device the artl.
fetal light alternates for a time
between red and blue.
The chamber 10 then plunged in
darkness relieved by a phosphor-
escent glow Of weird Chinese char
acters on the heavily-curtained
walls. Grotesque vases become lumi-
nous. and nude statuary emits ~
rose-red light.
Mid such surroundings society
indulge in its poppy dreams.
THE limit having been reached
with the low-cut v in evening
toilets, certain fair Parisians have
caused some sensation by turning
the v upside down.
The material Of the gown is cut
to an apex which reaches to within
about three inches OF the neck, to
which it is suspended by a string of
pearls.
A slight ruching Of a flimsy ma
terial on each side of the inverted
V serves as a compromise to mod
esty. In some evening assemblies.
however, 1 hear that even this
compromise is dispensed with.
THE bathroom in the houses Of
certain members of the gay set
Of Partisan society is increasing in
it's proportions and luxury.
The bath itself Is a large marble
basin let into the center Of the
floor. while marble lounges. warmed
by invisible steam pipes. are ar
ranged round the apartment. The
flooring ana walls are rich with
mosaic.
The bath, as a matter of fact, is
coming to be regarded as quite
other than a private function.

Cache Creek Is

Jack Cofrey Reports Everything Booming for Big
 Season.

Jack Cofiey is back from a trip on official business to Cache creek and reports things moving along rapidly in the great placer camp. He reports Anton Eide in the district on a tour of inspection of road worlS<as far as Peters creek. where men arc pulling sumps and preparing for grading work. Ten men have been busy all winter getting out bridge timbers and timber for corduroy roads and in slashing right-of-way. A bridge is already built across Moose creek and is a fine structure. The bridge across Croto creek is finished, the work be- ing under the foremanship of Carl Johnson.

Monderful Is Human Skin.

The human skin, which forms a protective covering over the whole of the body. consists of two layers, an outer one and an inner one The epidermiS, or outer skin, is so con Structed that no moisture from out side can penetrate It so long as the skin itself is not torn or cut. At the same time the pores of the skin are so formed that the sweat is freely discharged through the skin. thus ven riluting the body and keeping it at an even temperature. Ii someone could invent a material possessing the properties of the human skin, q material which would keep out all moisture. however heavy the down. H6ur of rain, and yet allow the free escape of the heat and moisture of the body, his fortune would be made.

FOREIGN TRADE

Foreign trade figures for the month of March show q general decrease of about 50 per cent. in imports as com- pared with March 1920, and rather more than that proportion in exports. As against February of this year there is shown an advance of about 15 per cent. in imports and falling off of about 15 per cent. in exports. Meanwhile gold has continued to come into the United States in large quantities and has tended to strengthen the reserves of the Fed eral reserve system in an important degree. The net amount received since the beginning of the year is es- timated at about 100000. It should be remembered that whereas in 1913 it was estimated that we owed to foreign countries some &C., O0,0OO.000 in securities and proba- bly ,OOO,OOO,0 on open account we have turned tho scales and as q result of our war advances we are today creditors to the extent of not less than $12,O0O, 100000 or $14,- 900, 100000 on funded and S4,000,- 00O.000 on open acCount--a shift Of at least $25, 5,OOO,0OO,OOO as compar- ed with the situation in 1913. All this strongly emphasizes the neCCssi- ty of obtaining some genuine improy- ment in our method of financing for eign trade. Action of Congress on Wednesday in modifying the Edge Act sO'as to reduce the immediate capital requirements for organization under that law may help somewhat. Interesting in this this connection is the fact that recent careful surveys of the volume of acceptances issued by member banks of the Federal re- serve system appear to show de- cline of some 50 per cent. from year ago. This must be attributed in large measure to the declining vol ume of our export business.-Henry Clews.

Washington. May 1.-The Su- preme Court ruled yesterday after noon on the question of the validity of the 18th amendment to the Con- stitution on account of the time giv- cn for the ratification of the meas ure. This time is given as seven years in which three fourths of the states may vote for or against the measure.
