I INEN is a magic word in the
~ fabric realm. The news on
linen weaves for the coming months
is most exciting. Paris cables all
laud linens and the roster, Of cou-
turiers cited as favoring liners lends
considerable weight to genefal pre-
dictions for a forthcoming linen
summer. .tl
There are no apparel needs which
cannot be ratified with linen. For
general purpose and daytime wear
best dressed women are choosing
stunning suits tailored Of either
black or navy linen. Recently bur-
gundy and bottle green linens have
been added to the list. Worn with
n blouse of the exquisitely fine and
sheer lingerie type now so fashion
able, these suits are about as eye
appealing as fancy can picture
smart with the new plaid Bingham
blouses too!
What with their newly acquired
crease resistance, there is no ques-
ton about the absolute practically
OF linens. With the non-crease as
surance given, gone forever is the
wrinkling bugaboo.
Among the linens fashion is high
lighting this season there gre most
attractive striped patterns and riot
ously colorful floral prints. Dress
makers, in search of something new
in jacket dresses, see infinite pos
sibilities in the new embroidered lin
ems. Vivid sprawling designs, either
printed or embroidered on q natural
linen background, fairly cry to be
made into jackets, and boleros to
wear over natural linen dresses.
Then, too, chic linens are leading
a gay night life all their own. For
party wear natural pure crash linen
with insertions of white Torchon
lace, the matching linen bolero
edged with the lace, the skirt floor
length and full, is but one of many
clever entries of linen into the eve
ming mode.

American Hunters Find
Luck Poorer in Canada

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINI.
-Midwestern sportsmen who hunt
ed big game in Canada during last
falls open seasons had rather poor
luck, according to records kept at
the American customs Office here.
The records, which tabulated the
game in pounds and not in numbers,
showed that only 29,645 pounds of
moose were brought into the United
States as compared with 1905 for
1887.
American hunters returned home
with only SIS, 1888 pounds of deer as
against 81 ,645 pounds last year. I'M
portation of bear meat dropped from
3,l4l in 1887 to $3.50 pounds last
year.
Duck hunters, however, had bet
ter shooting in Canada. They
brought in 4,089 pounds of duck as
compared with 3.141 last fall.

II you 60 In for sports (and Of
course you do, for the trend is
more and more toward frolic and
fun of life in the great eutdoors)
you'll be wanting a lightweight
sweater jacket, designed for activ-
ity and comfort. Here's one, shown
to the left In the picture, just the.
sort you will appreciate and treas
ure the entire season and on into
fall and winter. It's crocheted cas-
lily and economically of lustrous
mercerized crochet cotton. Choose
your own color combinations, but
turquoise and ecru are particularly
recommended for q nice harmony.
In this model the front is worked In
ecru with bands Of turquoise trim
ming the pockets, closing, collar,
and shoulders, while the back In
crocheted in solid turquoise. The
design calls for unusually simple
crocheting, using only the easy sim
gle crochet stitch with alternate
loops front and. back for the ridge,
effect.

out beyond sweaters this season. If

at: fancywork departments you will
find that entire dresses are being.
beautifully crocheted in merceri1ed,
cottons that come in delightful COL
orings. There is, every encourage
ment in undertaking the crocheting
of a complete dress, chiefly because
modern mercerized crochet cottons
have been so perfected they work
up without btIlkiness or. undue
weight, making the ideal garment
for summer. The openwork of lacy
crochet makes it the coolest thing
you can wear on a torrid. day.

which the new crocheted frocks fit
and. mold the figure. Dressmaker
touches are stressed while skirts are
made to swing with the new young
look"

Roast Meat Made
In 1924 Still Good
Is Relic of Expedition to
arctic by Parry.

LONDON.-Roast veal more than
100 years old but still palatable and
nourishing is on view in a glass tube
in the museum of the Royal United
States institution in London.
It comes from tin which formed
part of the stores taken by Sir Will
liam Parry on his expedition to the
Arctic in 1924, but brought back I'm
, used. L-lso on exhibit is the tin
carrying this instruction: 'Cut
around with chisel and hammer.
This probably is the earliest
known example of canned foods,
and is one of the exhibits at the
museum connected with polar ex-
ploration.
At the request of the international
tin research and development coun-
Gil, the museum authorities permit
ted the tin to be opened for chem
ical and meteorological exanlina-
ton. No trace of preservatives was
found in this meat, but it was in
perfect condition. Ten rats, which
were experimentally fed upon it for
several days, grew fat on the diet. z
Although the process of canning
was invented by a Frenchman at
the end of the Eighteenth century,
it was left to the English firm
OF Donkin & Hall to make prac-
teal use of it. This firm set up
business in 1911.
It is said tina; the duke of Yelling
ton, then Lord Wellesley, and yet to
fight the battle of Waterloo, tried
and approved the preserved beef
and in 1914 Sir Joseph Banks, the
botanist and explorer who accom-
panied Capt. James Cook on his
voyage and was largely responsible
for the first settlement of Australia,
wrote In praise of the nutritious
qualities of what he termed "your
embalmed provisions.
The firm of Donkin & Hall pro-
vided the 1924 polar expedition with
canned meat, soup and vegetables,
which did much to prevent scurvy.

Perak Taps U. S.
Cash Registers
Every American Family
Pays Tribute to Sultan
Of Little State.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Thousands
of cash registers all over the United
States reverberate family but con-
tinuously in the treasury of Perak,
in British Malaga, halfway around
the world, as millions of shoppers
make purchases of toothpaste, tin
foiled CONNECTIONS, cigarettes, canned
goods, and particularly automobile
tires.
Probably every American family
pays tribute to the Sultan of Pc
rak," says the National Geographic
society. "Three-fourths of the tin

from British Malaga and fat share
of the totals is produced in the little
state of Perak. One of the richest
tin deposits known is in the Kinta
valley of that state, and it is also
one of the three states having the
argest rubber acreage.
Great Source Of Tin.
ga new sultan is now collecting
the American tribute; Abdul Aziz
has just been installed on the throne.
His domain, which is under the
protection of Great Britain, is one
of the four Federated Malay states
near the southernmost tip of Asia.
1t is about the size of Massachu-
sets but has only one-fifth as many
inhabitants as the Bay state. The
population consists of Malays, Chi
nese and East Indians, and sprin-
king of other nationalities.
The Malay states are the great
est source of tin in the world, de-
posts which attracted the civilizing
agencies of Europe and converted
the jungle savagery into a. well or
gained society. Back in 1850 the
Dutch built a tin factory or trad
ing station on the Perak river and
from then onward tried to monopo-
LIE the expectation of tin from Pc
rak. In 1918 the sultan signed a
free-trade treaty with Great Britain
and shortly came under British pro-
lection, but the British had little to
do with the affairs of the state until
after 1870.
"About so years ago the British
introduced rubber trees into British
Malaga, from seed struggled out Of
Brazil, and today rubber trees prac-
tically cover Perak and other Malay
states. In Northern Perak 10000
irrigated acres are devoted largely
to rice; coconuts and oil palms -four
ish in the south. Some tea and
coffee are grown in the states, and
little tobacco.
Under British Protection.
''Perak is mostly in the fertile val
ley of the Perak river, with noun
tains in the north and east rising
five, six and seven thousand feet,
affording relief from the humid
heat. The river is navigable by
coastal steamers for 40 miles, and
also supplies hydro-electric power
for the machinery and lighting of
Ipoh, the capital, and other towns
and villages.
''In 1895 the four states, Perak,
Pahang, Selangor and Negri Sem
bilan, agreed to form a federation
and to maintain a contingent of
troops. Legislation for the fedora
ton is in the hands of a federal
council organized in 1909, and
presided over by a British high
commissioner. He appoints the 9TH
er % members of the council.
Council enactments are then assent
ed to by the rulers of the four states.
Each state has its own council ap-
pointed and presided over by the
