AS late as 1912 the state derived a revenue of s1.250,o00 annually from the sale of amber following the exploitation of blue sand" mines some dis tance from the coast For centuries amber has been flshed out of seaweed and sand along the Baltic shores,
 Amber has been initiated so skllfully that 1t is difficult to tell real Prussan amber from limitations made of other resins, celluloid and even glass.

German Art Critics Fear Munsey Mil lions Will Buy Many of Their
 Valuable Masterpieces

Berlin. Jan. 16-Frank A. Munsey's bequest of many nillons--estimated at between S?5,- 900, ,000 and $40.000, ,000--to the Metropolitan Museum of Art suggests a fresh menace to European art centers, in the opinion of Ger man art critics
 These critics fear that the New York insti- tuition will b. in pC:,lon now 10 gobble up Europo's choicest art treasures unless rigid export embargoes are interposcd.
 "Once more we are confronted by the Amer ican menace against which we were warned by the veteran curator. Wilhelm von Bode many years ago when the late J. Pierpont Morgan was on the scene" Is the lament of Lothar Bricser, the well known critic. He demands tightening of the restrictions on exportaton of art works. and appeals to the patriotism of private collectors to remain steadfast in the face of tempting offers from the United States
 American art buyers are becoming more impetuous," he says, flor the smallest mu- seums are rich enough to enter European max- kes as active buyers"

TRAIN ON BANANAS

Bananas have become popular as training
 food with British football players. Profession al trainers of athletes have come out in favor
 of the banana account of the readiness with
 which t Is digcsted and tho fact that it con-
 tains higher percentage of calories than most other fruits.
 Football players want to avoid any risk of "stuffing," but during cold weather they want [ to be sure that whatever they eat will con- tain as many heat units as possible. The trainers maintain that before a football match, for instance. when the players are pressed for time. or between periods of the game when they are more or less exhausted. the banana Is tho most suitable food, espe- cially as it carries d guarantee that until its
 natural germ-proof wrapper is peeled away it lis free from contamination.

MORE PRETTY WOMEN

There are many more beautiful women in England today than in Victorian times, and one reason is the number of American beau ties who have married British titles. The au- thorty for this judgment is the court photo- graphcr whose opinions are almost universal ly respected. He says that the new styles of hair dressing. the shingle and bob, have nothing to do with it.
 VI would say that there are at least fifty classic beauties in London society today" he said, 'and nt least dozen If these are Amer- can girls married to Englishmen. Twenty yrars ago there were only two or three women in London who could be called beautiful
 To-day one sees hundreds of women who. although not exactly beauties. are pretty. Women nowadays have more character. and character frequently means beauty according to modern standards"
