 SUGGESTS NEW GARMENTS

With the arrival of the first day of autumn, woman's thoughts must neces- sarily turn to seasonable clothes.
 new dress, smart top coat, a nat ty hat, a comfy suit, one or all will mean much in the matter of satisfac- ton and appearance.
 Then there is always the need of re- plenshing ones footwear, or gloves, or veils, after thescorching sun and pos- sibly dampness of fog or rain, or the wearing effects of travel throughout the summer
 Whatever the needs, very modest amount of money will. enable one to refurbish her wardrobe. in case she puts a little thought and time into that inn portant duty.
 Looking about in the stores Thursday, there was noticed, for example. frock which would delight any woman's heart. It was of black Canton crepe, it's trimmings white kid and white silk em- broidery-a charming model which would | give distinguished air to any wear | CT.
 The same material was developed ir | a beautiful frock which had for trim. | ming narrow white German val lace | Its collar was on the .Capuchin order and it's sleeves were short peep a the price tag showed s35. These are mere hints of the brett! | things of which merchants advertisin; in The Bulletin this morning have sucl an ample and elegant stock.

AT DAVIS THEATRE
Ladies' Night in a Turkish Bath

Seldom is bashfulness successfully cured in one treatment, as all those who are or have been afflicted with that dread disease know. But Ladies' Night in a Turkish Bath which was staged at the Davis Theatre Thursday night proved beyond a doubt that even the worst case of bashfulness and timidity can be per manently cured within a few hours time. Jimmy Walters, the timid retiring hus- band who was so afraid of women that his wife was unable to drag him out of the house and into society took the cure as cooked up by two of his personal friends, and as a result figured in a police raid on dance hall of question able reputation. became and unwilling vis- itor in the Turkish bath on ladies' night and got into numerous humorous situa- tions along with his self appointed ben efactors, and finally emerged from the tangle a happily cured man.
 Such was the thread of the story un. raveled in the farce which was witness ed by large sized house at the Davi. Thursday night. The farce was present ed in three aects. John Westerman, Jr. ap peared in the role of the timid husband whose timidity and bashfuhess cam, very near wrecking his domestic happi ness while Harold Hutchinson and Jeffer son Evans carried the roles of the self apointed committee who took Jimmy ol a midnight party in an effort to cur
 him of his embarra ssing affiiction. Dor
 othy Holmes was a. happy selection a | Dulcy Walters, Jimmys wife
 Most of the action took place in tn
 second act which was the scene of tn Larchmont baths. The baths were large | ly responsible for Jimmy's troubles. Jim
 my suddenly and very unwillingiy ap peared in the baths. entering throug
 window while escaping from the polio
 during a raid on the dance hall mex | d6or. Jimmy's visit was most mop
 perfume for he landed in the midst c
 a dozen or more women, mainly attire
 in towels and sheets.
 i The third act was mainly featured b l explanations and a happy ending. La dies Night in a Turkish Bath prove
 something new and little out of tn
 ordinary in local theatrical circles.

For some reason Gladding lurched over towards the auto and was struck down. H, was so badly injured that he died ir a few hours. If he had kept his DO. sition in the road there would hay, been no accident.

The body was discovered by J. Edward Orcutt of Nelson place, Nor wich, who has been spending the sum- mer on the north shore of the lake.

lnniuration lnto Canada.


 A recovery of immigration into Canada amounting to 27 per cent. over the previous year occurred in the year ending March 90, 1921. Of a total of 14S,OO0 immigrants 74.0O0 were Brit ish. 4S, 900 came from the United States and 26. 900 from other countries.
 Emigration from the United States to Canada increased steadily from 2.4O0 in 1897 to the high point of 139,- GOO in 1913. The flow was checked at the outbreak of the war by the pro- spect of conscription and heavy war taxation and later by the increased prosperity of the United States. An even greater reduction followed the armistice and the present recovery is but small advance toward resumption of the pre-war movement
 American immigrants are eminently desirable, not only because they are assimilated without difficulty. since living conditions are so much alike in the two countries, but because they are on the average wealthier than the settlers from any other country. It is estims ted by the Department of Im- migration and Colonization that the American settlers in 1920 brought with them wealth averaging S3T2 per capita. It is estimated that the British immi- grant before the recent enactment pre- scribing possession of at least s250 brought with him on the average about s1OO.

THE UNITED STATES
 ELECTRIFYlNG THE WORLD

Official announcement from Wash ington of the creation of a Division of Electrical Machinery" in the De- partment of Commerce calls attention. says the Trade Record published by The National City Bank of New York. to the growing demand of the outside world for American equipment for harnessing this latest servant of man electricity. In .Khe opening year of the war. our fiscal year 1915, our en- tire exports of the group officially designated as electrical machinery and appliances" amounted to but s19.- 712,000 but had advanced to s54. .54T. 900 in it's closing year 1918. Then with the worlds return to peace and its closer acquaintance with the quality of our manufactures in this line. the total exports of electrical machinery and appliances" jumped to sSO. O.O0O. 900 in 1919, sS7,000,0 900 in 1920, and s119.- 221 900 in 1921, the fiscal year just ended.
 This increase of ss2, 2,ooo. 900 in the exports of this year of merchandise in the fiscal year 1921 is the more re- markable in view of the fact that in the other important classes of ma chinery the exports of 1921 showed but comparatively slight gains. The exports of electrical machinery in- | creased 37 per cent. in value in the fiscal year 1921. while those of all other. machinery were increasing but 10 per cent. in value.
 This growing demand for electrical | ma chinery comes from every direction and includes every sort of appliance | American electric lights twinkled ir practically every country and colony | of the world; our telephones trans init the languages and dialects" oi every part of the globe; our telegraph instruments click in every continent | tric fans supply cooling breezes the ] world around. The more than 1000. 900 electric lamps reported in the lat. est year for which details are availabl, went to seventy-five different countrie! and colonies, including all the princi pal countries of Europe, all of Latir America; all of the Asiatic Countries
 Australia and New Zealand: and tn, | principal countries and colonies in Af
 rica. The s5,000, 900 worth of telephone | exported in 1921 went to over sixt-
 different countries: the SS.0OO electri l fans sent abroad in that year were dis tributed to more than seventy countrie
 while the s2,000,00O worth of electri
 heating and cooking apparatus went t
