Bonar Law Urges
 Stimulus To Trade
 In British Empire

London. Aug. 19.-The need for the | oeVe!opment and expansion of trade within the confines of the British Elm pfre has been stressed recently by a number of public speakers.
 Among these is Andrew Bonar Law, former Chancellor of the Ex- | the visiting members of Dominion parlia aments said:
 - am not an advocate of com plete indifference to the wreck of is to develop our own heritage. and in that will be found the way to safe ty and prosperity.
 The war could not have been won without the help of the self-govern- tragedies of this world if, after this cooperation, we should not be closer Knit in the bonds of a common em- pire.
 "The whole of Central Europe. from the commercial point of view has gone. If we have to wait for the nope of recovery until order is re- stored in that part of the world, it try
 Before the war our total exports to Germany, Russia and the whole of Central Europe amounted to far less than half of what we sent to our self-governtng dominions. It is to them we must look.''-- The Association of British Cham bers of Commerce at it's quarterly meeting in London passed a reso- lutoon urging on the government the need for converting at an early date an Imperial Conference at which the government, the dominions and com merce and industry should be repre- sented, in order to consider the devel- opment of empire resources.
 The government has decided to meet half the cost of sending all ap- proved emigrants to the dominions. This will cost about 100000 annu- ally.
 Great as has been the past of the British Empire" said Lord Birken- head, Chancellor of the ENchequer, in referring to this measure, 'it will be as nothing to it's future if the wis dom of our statesmen in all parts of the Empire is equal to the gigantic task that awaits them."

WAR SURPLUS

Washington. Aug. 19-Up to July l | surplus war material valued at $l59,773 3,9S6 was delivered to the states for use in road construction, according to a report of the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agriculture De- partment.
 The material, which consisted of all sorts Of supplies and equipment suit aple for road building for which the War Department had no further need. was distributed on the same basis as monetary Federal aid
 New York and Texas lead in value of maternal ma delivered, with nearly ss,- 0O0,O0O worth, and every state. with the exception of five of the smaller ones, received supplies valued at more than $1,000,000
 This material has been of great value in road construction,'' said an olne1aI Of the Bureau of Public Roads, and there is hardly a county in the United States in which some of it has not been used
 Probably of greatest value has been the 29,s25 motor vehicles dis tr1buted,e consisting of 24,752 trucks and 4,573 automobiles and. in adii- uon, a large number of tractors"
 The system of distribution, the bu- reau stated, has been so arranged that the states requisition only material usefuI to them. In some cases they Tall behind in a1lotments in order to wat Tor material particularly desired. ~ Great ingenuity has been shown by many states in conditioning worn equip shops in which other war ma terlal is made suitable for use, ac- cord1ng to government observers
 large quantity of material still re- mains in the United States for distri- button, the bureau stated. This will be further increased by supplies used by the army of occupation in Germany soon to be brought back.

A WOMAN'S PREY
SYNOPSIS:
BY FRED JACKSON.


 John Bolt, ''the finest specimen of manhood in Nevada" is dele gated to act as guide to the mine owner and party of East ern tourists. This task is not 10 his liking, but he quickly falls under the spell of Lorah War Ing, who deliberately sets out 10 make a conquest of him. She gets him to talk of his life and his ambitions and sows the seed of unrest in his mind by her vivid pictures of the East and by her disapproval of his manner of liv- Ing. Why should you waste your life taking gold out of the earth for some one else to spend? And even if you have been doing 1t utnil now, why should you bother thinking about 1t when you don't have to?"
 'Pve never had anything bet ter to think about" he told her, realizing 1t himself for the first time.
 "Let me give you something much better to think of, then," said Lorah Waring.

HAVE YOU GREY HAIRS?

To judge from my correspondence all our young people of today are go- ing grey. Whether it is the result of the strenuous life we lead nova days, whether it is because more than ever we are crowded together in cities or whether we are all becoming more nervous I cannot say
 Personally, I am inclined to think we are too ambitious and too strenu- ous. Girls who hold responsible posi- tions in offices, girls who teach school these are the ones who write and say that at the age of 24 or 25 grey hairs are showing, and that by 30 grey hairs predominate.
 It is for this reason that the Pilo- carpine hair tonic is so uch in de- mand. Pilocarpine is good for the hair. It also acts directly upon the color cells, stimulating them to re- newed activity.
 The formula follows:
 Pilocarpine Hair Tonic.
 Pi1ocarpine Hydrochlorate,
 Precipitaeed Sulphur, 30 grains
 Creoso1 (Lily) ....... 30 drops
 Castor Oil ........... 10 drops
 AlchoI (95 per cent), 4 ounces
 TIT. Cantharides ...... drams
 Farina Cologne ...... 4 drams
 Rose water ounces
 Eeven without the Pilocarpine, the most expensive part of the tonic, the cantharides is stimulating and will make the hair thicker and healthier though it has no action upon the color cells. Pm afraid that in these days of great activity. even the young women should use a tonic. It is an

insurance against early grayness, even when actual gray hairs have not ap- peared. Nerves have a great deal to do with the health of the hair-and we are all nervous these days, 1t seems. Jeanne:-There is nothing in ttts eyelash tonic that could hurt the eyes,. But the eye is always sensitive and will smart if you get even the finest of oils in it. This should only be for an instant, however, and in no way inurious.~ The directions on the form ula explain this and you are told to apply the tonic to the roots from the point of fine brush.
 r Kora:-It would be very foolish for a girl of 16 to try to reduce the size of her bust, as this apparent over development is only due to an un- even growth.
 E. Next year she will be so grown LID in some other ways that she will be in proportion. Boys, and girls too, grow abnorma11y in length of legs and arms and they feel ust as sensi- tive as she does now, but a year or two more their bodies will have at tained the proper development so all is in proportion.

and her manner was more compos-
ed than last week
Warren r. Austin, counsel for
the plaintiff, said today was an ap-
propriate time to consider such a
case as this as the Thanksgiving
day reunions would give the jury a
clear vision what family love
means and what it meant to have
a home broken up.
The attorney said he would show
by positive act, the parents hao
tried to break up the marriage. He
read from the deposition of Wood
house taken at Reno, New. Mr.
/ Austin called attention to the tes-
I timony surrounding the trip Of

Too Speedy In Matt

Company d generally outclasSed
the rangy Berlin basketball team
at the Armory yesterday afternoon
in the toughest game thus far.
The score was 27 to 18 in favor
of the Burns coached quintet. The
, team play of the locals was up to
the high standard set in the Han
over A. c. game last Tuesday but
the Berlin ball chasers lacked
team work.
The passing of the ST. Johnsbury
team stood out in bold relief as
compared to the lack of such at
tatking manoeuvres in the Berlin
scheme Of assault. McGivney, Pow
erS and CO., relied almost eXclu-
siyely upon long hit or miss drives
AZ the hoop.
Fitz Marshall played the best
game he has fought this season. He
contributed two stellar running
toSses that set the crowd of
Thanksgiving fans in bedlam of
noise. Lucky Fisk turned in three
sensational field goals and Curley
Burns continued his strong defen-
slve and offensive tactics in the
pivotal position.
Albert Goslant and Whitley Du-
mas each reamed out the iron cir
clct with a neat chuck apiece and
played up well in the few minutes
tina. they had to display their stuff
in the game.

pivot, hurled a long shot, followed
it in and scored on the rebound
