European Wheat
CropF Falls Short
Nations Expected to Import
582,000,0OO Bushels Of
Grain This Year.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Europe
will have TO import 582,000.0CC
bushels OF wheat this year. or 27,.
100000 bushels more than last year
because Of the decline in this years
production, the Commerce depart.
ment was advised by Alfred P.
Dennis, its special representative in
Berlin.
Exclusive Of Russia. this years
European wheat crop 10 estimated,
Mr.. Dennis said at 1,057, 100000
bushels. The total represents a de-
cline OF ls6,80000O bushels as com.
pared with last years yield.
This falling off in yield was ac-
counted for by reduction OF l,500,-
900 acres in the area sown in Europe,
by unfavorable growing conditions
in the winter and early spring, and
in the case Of Germany and Aus
tria, by the lack Of fertilizers. The
bulk OF the decline, he added was
accounted for in the losses in three
countries as follows: France. 49,
100000 bushels; Italy, 33,500,000
bushels, and Germany, 22,500.00O
bushels, while the percentage OF loss
in the minor producing countries
was as follows: Sweden, 40 per cent;
Switzerland. IS per cent; Holland
rs per cent; Austria, 20 per cent;
Hungary, 20 per cent. and Spain, l6
per cent.
Production In Great Britain, he
reported, shows decrease OF 9 per
cent, indicating production in
homegrown milling wheat Of TO-
100000 bushels as compared to last
years production.

General Wounded.


London. Aug. 23.-(By A. PAN
Evening News dispatch from Dublin
today says it is believed Michael
Collins was accompanied by seven
free state staff officers, including Maj.
Gen. Dalton, when the free state chief
was killed from ambush last night at
Bandon. Several soldiers, the dis
patch says, are believed TO have been
killed or wounded during the attack
on Collins party.
A Central News dispatch from
Dublin says il is reported that Mai.
Gen. Dalton himself was slightly in
jurcd during the fight in which Col
Inns was killed
~ The assassination OF Collins comes
directly on the heels OF the announce
ment by the Irish irreguIars Of a
policy OF ambushcs and raids in their
fight against the free state govern
ment.
Shot From Ambush.
Collins was shot down from am
bush only few hours after he had
been given AN ovation by the resi-
dents of Cork City, which was freed
less than two weeks ago by military
under Collins command. The place
where he fell is part OF the con-
stituency which he represented in the
Dali Eireann.
Thus, within ten days, two OF the
most prominent figures in the new
Irish government have been re-
moved by death. Just ten days ago
President Griffith of the Dali
tackled by group of men. some
with rifles, who rushed his car and
opened fire.
The Collins party returned the fire
and one of the assailants was cap
tured. Collins was not injured.

Also Urge Better Labels for
Makers of Canned
Goods.
RAP FLAPPER LADY
(By The Associated Press. }


| Chicago. April 3-SubjcctS ranging
from rolled stockings TO can labels
were dealt with in talks and papers
prepared by students at Harrison Tech.
nical high school here in connection
with Better Design for American
program and exhibit at the school. The
purpose was explained by Wilbert An
dersOn, one of the pupils. as ito ac-
quaint the community with the fact
that design is used in almost every
thing we do or make" and that I'VE
should all try to improve it and make
its progress more rapid"
did you ever see anything more out
landish than girl with a fur coat
spring hat. rolled silk stockings and
galoshes? But that's what they wear"
said Leren Rockey. who continued in
a talk on Better Design and Dress"
still little farther. we come to
misapplied paint. powder, lip-stick and
twecsed eyebrows. The young ladies
today Use some of these. and there are
few who use them correctly 1t is bad
enough for the girls to msapply cos
metics. but when the fellows start toI
tweeze their eyebrows it is time to
draw the line.
Young ladies, earrings and orna-
mcnts have long been out of style.
Back in the cave-man age they flour
iShcd. and by the way some of you
dress you seem to wish TO resurrect
those days"
The desirability of better designs on
can labels was urged in paper by
George w. Holt.
"a grocer in our neighborhood.' this
pupil wrote. says that the canned
goods which have the better designed |
labels sell much more rapidly and
bring more money to him than those
which have poorly designed labels. He
explains this in the following manner i
Il customer comes into the store and |
wants 4 can of peaches: she looks |,
around and then finally says. Give me
a can of peaches with that good label
Yes. that's it, If the manufacturer
will wake up and use better designs on
his labels his sales will increase at /
least five per cent"
