ARE RESPONSIBLE

Tens of thousands of lives are in
peril because Of the fuel famine, and
scores have already succumbed, de-
clares Senator-elect Royal s. Cope

results from this condition will be
upon the heads and cOnsciences of

companies to limit the supply and
transportation.

cipal Industries Of the district during

The lumber industry is experienc.
ing great activity. Handicapped by
adverse weather conditions the camps
and mills of the district have been un-
able to supply the increasing demand.

garding seasonal changes, the general
trend was upward. Important in
creases in the prices of cotton, wool,

ported.
Building Boom.
Building activity is again increas-
ing after diminishing temporarily

It was difficult for the audience

in costume and divided her program
in four groups to match her gowns.

Of the audience Immediately, and
from that moment she didn't really
have to sing. Her appearance was
enough.
Light and Flexible.
Her voice, unusually light and
flexible, was especially well adapted
to her program. In the first group,
q series of French songs, Jean ne

was by far the best. Nine. Bori

was white satin, rose pink and

black, setting off the singers

was LA Pavana" sung with great
animation. a tender little cradle
song, and "Invito ALA danza,'' by
Repighi, followed. The last one,
one OF the best numbers on the

captivating, and the singer was
forced to respond with an encore,
''Villanella," by Sibella.

PETRELS FLEE GERMAN COAST
Ornlthologist Thinks Disturbances
Caused by War Conditions Induced
Birds to Abandon Place.

The petrol has completely vanished
from the German coasts. Not many
years ago petrels' breeding grounds
were to be found on the Island Of Reu-
gen, on the mainland opposite that
island, and on the North Tristan island
Of Sylt.
The first two were gradually aban-
doned by those birds, which appeared
in April and again in September, but
even last year some of them still made
Sylt their summer residence.
This year, however not single bird
has put in an appearance ut that for
mer pctrels home, the long, low-lying
peninsula of Ellenbogen, at the north
of the island.
Professor Dietrich, the well-knowu
German ornithologist, thinks that the
disturbances caused in the North Fri
sian Islands by war conditions have
had much to do with causing the petrels
finally to abandon their last home,

"Do YOU know who that man is? He

The result was that when Mr.. De-

tered the room:
