measures.
The German government has given
exclusive control of all foreign trade
into the hands of what are described
as a1-powerful and aIl-directing Ger
man import and export boards.
These, boards possess powers which
are Virtually autocratic, but although
they are being opposed by some they
are reported to be highly efficient in
their protection of German business
and economci interests
They have the authority to Law
down absolute trade prohibitions at

special industry, in whole or part, is
described as creating a system much
more effective than the method of
building a tariff wall which is so Of

This new German system is said
to be not unlike that which the Nc
Cumber tariff bill would establish by
empowering the President to lower or
raise tariff rates after consulting with
the Federal Tariff Commission and
similar government agencies, except
the German import and export boards

Industry Highly Specialized
They are controlled and mana ged

of it.
Legal action against them is not

are held to be "decentralized'' and of
a Semi-private character
Before any import or export trans
action can take place in Germany a
permit must first be obtained from
the proper board, which has the DOW

London, June 13-Life Is no rosy
dream for the American housewife
who lives in London, and the way
becomes harder as the summer sun
becomes hotter and hotter.
Ice-an ordinary nouseho old COM

the greatest worry to the American
housewife in London in summer
about the English people, but it
doesn't cut any ice.
Ice can be procured in London, but
one must spend a day or two in pro-
curing it and is apt to die from pros
tration in the meantime.
ANY old Londoner will advise that
ice can be readily procured from the
fish dealer. Very good. The kitchen
maid is ordered to make a trip to the
fish mongers to get a small piece of
ice. She returns with the sad word
that the ice is all gone. Then the
mistress makes a try. If she has per

sent to sell her a small piece of ice,
but the charge is sixpence for three
pouGds, or IL cents for three pounds

small enough for one glass of ice
water by the time it has reached the
home.
The big department stores have de-
cided to cater to the American ice
lovers this summer, however, and
they offer a solution, even though it
be an expensive solution. If one has
credit and can give bank reference
it is possible to oren a charge ac-
count at one of the ice dealing de-
partment stores. Then for one Shil-
ling sixpence, or approximately S5
cents the department. store will de-

delivered at your door, having per
haps suffered somewhat from the heat

A few of the better hotels cater to
the cold drink lowing Americans, and
by suasion and threatening it is pos
sible to procure ice water, but you
get the ice water only after you have

who can't understand why one should

tea schedule. AT o'clock in the

FRACTION OF ONE VOTE
SETTLES BOND ISSUE
IN WEST VIRGINIA

Morgantown, w. Va. June ID
One of the strangest elections
ever held in West Virginia, in
that the issue was decided by
about three-fifths of a single vote,
has just been held here. A special
election on the question of issu-
ing S75O,000 in bonds for street
improvements and a municipal
building was carried by the mar
row margin of 1904 of a. vote,
according to expert nathemai-
clans. the unusual result arising
from West Virginia's constitu-
tional provision that all bond is
sues must be approved by three
fifths of the vote cast Three
fifths of the total vote cast would
be 1,130 2-5, while the vote for
the issue was 1,131.
The question is not likely to
remain settled by this balloting,
as protests have been made that
many citizens could not vote be-
cause they had not been regis
tered under an inadequate regis
tration provision, and steps have
been taken to hold the election
