MYSTERY ATTENDS
 TRADE CONFERENCE
German and British COnfrereS
 Meeting at London

London, Oct. 8 PN-Not a little mystery is attached to visit of a dozen German industrial and tinan- cial leaders to London today for conference with a similar number of British industrialists and bankers under the presidency of former Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Robert Horne.
 There was much speculation as to the purpose of the unusual gather ing, this ranging from the formation of q great European industrial pact .or industrial united states of Europe" an Anglo-German indus trial understanding and the forma- ton Of a world steel trust to a de- sire by the Germans to raise funds in England to carry on their indus tries.
 It was carefully pointed out be- forehand that the conference would be entirely unofficial although it is said to have been approved by Pre- mier Baldwin.
 While the residence near Romsey .of Col. Ashley. minister of trans port, was announced as the meeting place 1t was stated that Col. Ashley would act mot as minister. but in Ia private capacity" The invita- .tions are understood to have been Isent to the Germans through the British legation in Berlin. Those invited were prominent representa- tives of the coal, iron. textile, ship ping, electric and mining industries of both countries in addition to bankers.
 The Westminster Gazette believes the meeting to be closely connect ed with a movement much favored by German industrialists toward 8. great European industrial pact, the essential principle of which is that goods must be manufactured on an immense scale by mass pro-

 On Job in Bridgeport

Bridgeport, Oct. s LP)-Two more merchants have fallen victims Of the bad check artist that has been oper- ating in this city during the past week police were informed yester- day. The total number of complaints received during the past week of &C., tivities of the check passer is six.
 It was reported today that d man entered Hayes Fish market and or dered groceries to the amount of SIS and gave In payment check of s3S.20 made out on the United States Trust Co.,, of Boston. He re- ceived the balance of the amount in currency and asked that the ar ticles be sent to the barge Waltham decked at the foot of Henry street.

GREET YANKEES ON
 ARRIVAL AT HOME
Subdued Reception Planned for
 New York American Team

New York, Oct, s P}-No deliri- ous greeting such as met the Cardi- nals on their return to St. Lotus awaits the New York Yankees. com ing home with q lead of three games to two today to finish the world series in native pastures. A crowd of the faithful. inspired by the clouting of Babe Ruth and his mates that has brought two victories in the last two starts in the mound city, have planned a large. if eubdued re- ception, when the Yankee special rolls into the Grand Central terminal
 The Tanks are due at p. m. but railroad officials, remembering the record trip made west when the series shifted to St Louis, expect the special any time after 5:3o. The same was said at the Pennsylvania station, where the Cardinal special is due at p, m. The trains Of the athletes, rushed out of St Louis last night within an hour after the game was over, are followed across the mid western states by a half dozen other specials on both roads. These contain ncwspapermen and the more rabid Of the rooters who dare not let their favorites function beyond their vision.
 World series talk hummed about the city again today after crowds of fans mobbed the scoreboards or tuned in their radios to be in on the Yankee triumph yesterday. The throngs before the newspaper offices were almost double those of the previous day. The general feeling along Broadway. where opinions were amply backed by cash. was that the Hugmen, now at the top of their stride, would look at all pitchers alike and end the series with victory tomorrow. Little chance is conceded the Cardinals, who must take two straight to gain a world championship banner to flaunt at the fagpole with the first Cardinal pennant in 3s years.
 CHus oi F2 to ana to "cle offered on all sides that the Yam lees win the series. One freak bet of 215 to i that Alexander. If he started, would not finish the nine in- nings, was recorded.

'STILLMAN PLANS ID WED IN JUNE
Not Concerned About SOCiety'S
 View of His BetrOthal

New York, Oct. O' - James Bud" Stillman, heir to millions, is not much concerned over how New York society will receive Lena Will son. the little backwoods girl from Canada he expects to make his wife.
 He is more interested In plans for their marriage. sometime in. June, and in the unqualified ap- proval Of the match expressed by James A. stillman, the banker, "I don't see that it matters" young Stillman said when asked yesterday at Princeton university about his brides qualifications for entering metropolitan society. Per sonally I'm not interested in so- ciety. After we're married I ex- pect to settle down and have friends, and it won't matter much to ms whether they're in society or what they're doing so long as I | like them"
 Tho c3-year-old youth who some | day will fall heir to millions talk ed reluctantly in his modest dor mitory room of his prospective bride. who has spent her entire life | in the woods surrounding his mothers estate at Grand Anse, Que bee. She was different from or dinary girls" he said. "old fash toned in a way" and her first en- counter with city life will be when she arrives in New York with his mother about November Is.
 Miss Wilson doesn't smoke or drink, he said, nor do the Charles ton or other modern dances. She dances, though, but mostly waltzes and the old-fashioned square danc- es, the steps ( which she taught him last summer. She excels In hunting, canoeing and fishing. and plays-the mouth organ and aocor- dion.
 Bud grinned when asked If Miss Wilson was fascinated with pretty clothes, and replied.
 "I don't know. She's never had any"
 But when It comes to cooking?
 "Oh, Boy." was his answer to the question.
 "she did all kinds of things" he said. "She was mothers house. keeper and she also acted as inter- preter for mother when she wanted to give orders to the gardener or other servants who spoke only French Canadian"
 Plans for the marriage. and after 1t, are still somewhat indefinite, young Stillman explained. He will graduate from Princeton next spring and expects to enter Harvard Med ical school in the fall. He Is much interested in scientific research but said he might take up general prac- tice or specialize on children's dis eases. He expects to spend four years at Harvard and two in a hos pital.
 Bud paid for the engagement ring Miss Wilson now wears with his own funds, his father, James A. Sullman revealed yesterday.
 We are so thoroughly happy about our sons coming marriage" said MT. Stillman. You see, they lean almost be said to have grown up together, for Miss Wilson lives on the adjoining farm and he and Lena played together when they were hardly more than children"
 MT. Stillman confirmed reports that Miss Wilson had worked for Mrs. Stillman, but said 1t was not correct to call her a servant as it Twas custom in the Grand Anse re- zion for neighboring families to help out each other when needed.

Wear on Your Paper Money
{ Increased by Prosperity

More than 1900 tons of worn-out
paper money is destroyed in the
Urhted States every year. Green
backs, gold and silver certificates,
which formerly lasted from eighteen
10 twenty-four months, now are put
but of commission after eight to ten
br twelve months of service. Dollar
bills are even worn to shreds in the
Ehort period of five weeks. Our pres
bat use of currency is thrice that of
1915 and is six times greater than it
was twenty-six years ago. Our use OF
currency has increased because our
national prosperity has demanded a
maximum of paper money in constant
circulation. To make it last longer,
the paper has been subjected to ex-
traordinary tests which simulate the
wear and tear to which the currency
Is subjected. An automatic eraser is
used in a rubbing test, which dupli-
Gates the surface wear, a register keep
ing count of the total number of Tubs.
The test is completed when a hole Is
finally worn in the paper. As paper
is susceptible to the weather, these
tests are conducted in a constant-tem-
perature chamber where the heat is
seventy degrees and the humidity
sixty-five.
The folding test is carried on by
special devices electrically operated.
The paper specimens work over small
rollers in such a manner that the ma
terial is folded again and again. The
currency paper will not break until
exposed to about 1000 foldings. Sci
ence also is armoring paper against
dirt, dust and greasy stains. 1t is
bathed in glue to cement together its
fbers. Then, by spraying the paper
with formaldehyde, dirt-resisting
coating has been developed. To pre-
vert fraud, the dollar bills now bear
the head of Washington. Lincoln
adorns the fves. Jackson's face is on
the tens, Cleveland's on the twenties,
Grants on the ffties and Franklm's
on the hundred-dollar notes. A pro
posal to cut down the size Of paper
money to decrease the cost of replace
ment is being considered.

hat of two years ago but the prices
Dbtained were much better. Accord

rear there were 100,501 crates trans

During the past six weeks there
we're $40 cars shipped by rail and
R55.109 crates by truck.
Cold Pack More Than Double
How many strawberries were put
In bv the cold pack method it is un-
Bile to determine. Compared Win
he 1885 crates preserved two years
90. is the pack announced by one
sussex county Gamer who this sum-
ner put up 10000 barrels, compris-
ne $4,000 crates, or double the en-
ire amount that was preserved two
ears ago.
This Sussex county packer had the
bold pack strawberries sold before
le put a single berry in a barrel.
n many instances the buyers OF
hese cold pack strawberries had
heir inspectors on the ground and
aw the berries that were bought
md picked and stored in the casks.
n this way they knew exactly the
lind of fruit their corporations were
going to use during the winter
nonths in manufacturing strawberry
ce cream, sundaes and other things
which the fruit is used.
Some idea of how the strawberry
back this year meant so much more
money to the grower than in other
rears, may be gained from the state
nent that strawberries brought from
Doc to S1.5O more a crate this year
han last year.
A strawberry grower walked into
/ store in Bridgeville few days ago
hnd the storekeeper asked him how
he made out with his berries.

Strawberries, said this man. Short
after this another strawberry
grower came into the store and the
said to him:
How did you make out with your
Btrawberries this year? just heard
from another man that he had re-
Eeived $500 gross per acre from his
held.
Cleared $1,4OO An Acre
That's nothing" said the second
grower. "I received an average Of
Il 400 an acre for my berries"

Putting Fruit to Sleep

As a substitute for cold storage, an
English professor has been attempting
the preservation of fruits simply by
keeping the air Of the room in which
they are placed at exactly the same
temperature and degree of humidity.
The effect is said to be a state Of
torpidity, halting decay. Apples
stored by this method were found to
be In good condition after four
months, according to reports
