Iceland Fishing
Reported Good

Copenhagen. Oct. II GA. T. by
Man)-We all have heard about the
Iceland of old, the land of the saSas
ands eddas and of mighty warriors,
but very few know about modern
Iceland, though the tale of her re-
cent development and the great plan
for Harvesting her great natural
powers and resources make just as
interesting reading Us those old
sagps.
Ioeland's minister to Denmark,
Sveinn Bjornsson, tells of the Won
derful resources of his country.
Some of these are highly developed,
others are barely tapped, and some
have not been touched at all.
Among the former are the fishing
grounds, the richest in the world.
Six weeks recently produced an eX-
port surplus of 100000 pounds of
herring. The Iceland herring con-
tains higher percentage of fat than
any other herring and is much
sought after, particularly in the
Scandinavian countries. Only the
finest herring are exported, and be-
fore export are subject to close in
spection by government agents. A
small quantity goes to the United
States.
The cod fishery is, however, the
greatest industry of Iceland. Dur
ing 1921 no less than 27,500 tons of
dried and sailed cod were exported,
chiefly to Great Britain and the
Mediterranean countries.
The export trade of Iceland was
in danger of being seriously inter-
fered with through the refusal of
Spain and Portugal to allow inn
ports of lcelandic fish as long as
the import into Iceland of Spanish
and Portuguese wines was barred
by the Icelandic Prohibition Act but
now a working agreement has been
arrived at, and Spain and Portugal
have both signed trade agreements
with Iceland in the most favored
nation" form.
For the Icelandic farmers, sailed
lamb and sheep make the biggest
export article. Denmark and Nor
way are the chief markets for this
commodity, which Ms used in pro-
visioning ships. The quality of Ice
landic lamb and sheep is excellent

What To Do For Constipation

After one has come to some con-
clusion about the eauses of eonsti-
patton then It is much easier TO act
wisely in overcoming it. For the
very young child that is nursing the
mother must eat generously of
whole grain breads and cereals,
bran every day, fruits and vege-
tables. The baby of two months of
age may be put on a tiny stool
fitted with a top which is padded,
and held against the mothers breast
for support for ten minutes. Use
a soap suppository made about the
size of a lead pencil at the thick
end and tapered off TO a narrow
point. Put a generous COB Of
~vaseline on this and insert for a
few seconds. Do this at a regular
time every morning.
In case these things are failures
there Is nc real harm in giving milk
of magnesia. This can help out un-
til such time as a more varied diet

Baptist Women
Urged To Open

STOCKHOLM, July EFF the
Baptist women of the world seize
their present opportunity for the SER
vice Of their generation they viii
adopt as their slogan Educate the
women of all lands" Mrs. Helen Bar
rett Montgomery of Rochester, n. Y,
and former president of the Northern
Baptist Convention, told the Baptist
World Alliance today during its spec
ial program given over to the con-
sideration of women's work.
when you educate a man you
! liberate an individual. but when you
educate a woman yeu liberate a
family" Mrs. Montgomery declared,
and she said Baptist women of the
world were performing no more sig
~nifieant service for womankind today
than through their Home and For
| eign Mission Societies in establish
ing schools for the education of wo-
men to whom doors of opportunity
have been closed heretofore. Seven
schools of higher learning in the
Orient are supported by the Women's
Board of Foreign Missions, the
speaker pointed out, while the wo-
men Of various denominations and
countries are cooperating in the sup
port Of is schools in the Orient
which have for their sole purpose
the provision of a trained Christian
leadership for the women of that
section of the world. A fund of s3,-
100000 for these schools was recent
ly completed in the United States
under the leadership of Mrs. Henry
w. Peabody of Boston.
Christ was the great emancipator
of women, Mrs. Montgomery declar-
cd, and in the proportion that the
women of the world are educated
and trained for service viii the
Kingdom of Christ be ushered in.
With the larger education of women
there have come larger opportunities
in organization and service, it was
set forth, and recent reforms in tenn
perance and other welfare lines in
dictate the effectiveness of woman's
power, once she is liberated and

YOUR VOICE

Loud voices are obnoxious, shril voices are firing, rasp-
ing voices are irritating, but most exasperatlng, don't you
think, is the monotonous voice. The voice that has no infections
but mumbles along in the same monotone. The owner OF such
a voice you Immediately catalog as undressing, hfeless,
ambiiousless.
Think over your acquaintance. Do you know someone
with such a voice? Is not the monotonous, lazy voice a sure
index of a lfeless, ambitioness personality?
have in mind a young man with such a voice. 10 look
at him ones impression is-what a good looking young chap,
such a fine honest face. But let him open his mouth and ne I'M
mediately drops many notches in ones estimation. Llfeless,
monotonous, wearying and wearing in its sameness, is his
exasperating onetone drawl. This chap, with many splendid
qualities to his credit, has never risen far in the world. Is 1t
not possible that it is his voice that is holding HIM BACK HOW
unfortunate TO 90 through life with such a handicap when it
can be femedied, unless of course it is due to some physical
ahnormality, which is seldom the case.
How about your voices Is it pleasing7 Remember it plays a
big part in the impression you make on people. just as I'M

STYLES IN EAST AND WEST

NEW YoRK-The place to see
the Egyptian costume in all its
splendor is not in the streets of

York, concludes Sarah 3. Lyon,
traveller and lecturer.
Having just returned from a tour
of Asia, Africa and Europe that
lasted almost two years, she OBJ
serves that the orient has been
moved to the oecident.
In Egypt" she explains, Il found
that though most of the women
have lot abandoned wells, they are
wearing the very latest and most
fashionable type Of veil, sheer as
mist and most becoming.
In New York, every other girl
wears an oriental turban or a yelled
effect. Just as the fashionable
world is turning to the land OF Cleo
patra for inspiration, the Egyptian
herself falls under the spell Of the
western styles"
Changes Everywhere

But the most significant thing in

of working together under the same

Hope From Women
