DEMAND FOR BLUE FOX INCREASING

It is almost impossible to meet the demand for blue fox for breeding stock to stock new farms being opened There are large number of islands being stocked along the coast of British Columbia and a large num- Der of the islands of Alaska are being completed with the amounts of stock wanted to bring their breeding stock to the number necessary to properly develop the income of the islands. The great local demand for Alaska, Brit isb Columbia and Puget Sound district will take the entire output of breed- CTS for couple of years, in all prob ability.
 In two years it is estimated that this district will begin to deliver fur in quantity, as far as the blue fox is concerned. We will then begin to have a real knowledge of the greatness of this output We do not mean to say that all the production will be sold for belts, as there will still be the de- mand in the United States to supply breeders.
 It is hard for us to grasp the pos sibilities of the blue fox, it's fur is in a class by itself; a rich pelt of this fur has richness not to be found in any other fur. Good specimens may be taken by extremity of the pelt and when held up it will run down to the bottom side in a sheen of silken beau ty. The pelt has to be seen to Ee ap- preciated.
 We do not want to discredit the progress accomplished by general isl and breeding of the blue fox. Far from that, the island production has. and stin will develop and improve this strain; yet we are assured hy ob- servaton that when we raise thls strain in captivity we will be able to, in greater extent, improve the strain of this splendid specimen of fox. When we come to marketing the production of this fox, it is to be hoped that every ldIlllGI WILL use tIlC uCLllooI DtS- caution to see that his pelts are in perfect condition, as to skinning and preparing for market, and further that no skin is taken that is not properly primed and well furred. The associa- tion should see that this is the case with all it's members. Too much care cannot be exercised in this important matter, as this means standing and credit to the industry and association as we'll There is quite little in- terest in the Puget Sound district in Washington, re the possibility or raising blue fox. This is not only pos sible but practical up in the hills where it Is cold enough to produce proper fur. It would have many ad- vantage, also, in the matter of eli mate as well, being similar to that Of their native environs.

MONoCLE GETS POPULAR WITH WOMEN OF ENGLAND;
 IT PREVENTS WRINKLES

LONDON, April 1.-The monocle, hitherto one of the hall marks of the fashionable London man-about-town, is threatening to become the latest craze among Englishwomen.
 Increasing numbers of fashionable women are to be seen toying with dainty tortoise-shell, gold and plati- num-rimmed monocles suspended on balck silken cords or rainbok-hued rib bon.
 Spectacle makers report an in- creased demand by women for the monocle, which Is made to fit the eye with faultless precision, to avoid the possibilities of wrinkles or crooked contour.

LONDON, April 11.-Women are to wear the "pork pie" hats and poke bonnets of the seventies and eighties this Spring, according to the latest fashion displays. z The re-introduction of the crino- line and other modes of the nine teenth century Is said to be respon- sible for the new hats, which are completely different in shape from those of last season.
