NEW ALPHABET
ALL CURVES

RICHMOND. Va. July 13.-
Patents on a scientific alphabet
designed to reduce eye strain have
been granted August Dietz. sr.,
widely known Richmond phila-
telist and printing craftsman.
Generations of tomorrow will
be relieved of the eye,strain
caused, by many of the conven-
tional types used in modern print
ing. Mr.. Dietz feels, as the re-
suit of his elimination of straight
lines and angles in letters.
Mr.. Dletz worked on the theory
that curves are more restful to
the eye, and this, coupled with a
balancing of the color mass. has
been embodied in his design.
Horace w. Davis. president of
the Agfa-Ansco Photo Products
Corporation of Binghampton,
N. Y, is associated with Mr..
Dietz in the promotion of the
invention, which is to be brought
to attention of the International

EDMONTON, Alberta. August 6 (P).-
During the past fortnight hot. dry
weather has prevailed in most districts
in Alberta, chiefly in the southern
areas, the department of agriculture OF
the province reports. AS a consequence,
the wheat crops have ripened rapidly
in many places and the filling process
has not been proceeding under as good
conditions as might be wished for.
The prospects, therefore. now are for
q somewhat reduced yield over that
which was anticipated month ago,
the report states, but adds that, gen.
orally speaking. a good average crop of
wheat is expected.
Practically all of the southern dis
tricts have suffered from the hot
