REVOLUTIONARY LAW
WILL SOON BE TRIED
IN BRITISH INDUSTRY
LONDON, Aug. 25 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—The finance
act, which more than any other re
cent legislation echoes the popular
cry of “British for the Britons,”
through the preference which is to
be given materials produced within
the empire, is to be tried imipediate
ly through two orders issued by the
board of trade.
One order provides that preference
shall be given refined sugar, molasses
and tobacco imported from the colo
nies, and the other sets the standard
of “imperial origin” by declaring that
no manufactures shall be considered
of British or imperial origin unless
25 per cent of the total value is the
result of British or imperial labor.
For the purpose of the regulations
governing the second order it is pro
vided that the total value of an arti
cle shall be “its cost to the manufac
turer at the factory and shall include
the value of containers and other
forms of interior packing ordinarily
sold with the article at retail, but
shall not include the manufacturers’
profit or the cost of exterior packing,
carriage to pore and other charges in
cidental to the goods subsequent to
their manufacture.”
Iu calculating the proportion which
is the result of labor within the em
pire there may be included the cost
to the manufacturer including wages,
proportion of fuel, supervision and
other factory charges and the cost of
labor for packing for retail sale.
PECULIAR ANIMAL
FROM AFRICAN WILDS
—*-m_
LONDON, Aug. 26 (Correspondence
ot Associated Press).—British natur
alists, who have been confidently ex
pecting that the only live okapi in
captivity was to be brought to the
zoological gardens in Regents park,
were disappointed today when the
news came from Antwerp that the
animal had been brought there from
the Congo by Dr. Lebrum. It was the
gift of Mme. Landagham, whose hus
band is in the Congo medical service.
The okapi is the survivor of a
distant ancestor of the giraffs. An
adult stands about five feet high, and
although it has the general shape of
the giraffe its neck is relatively
shorter and' its forelegs are not so
high in proportion to the hind
quarters.
The sides of the animal’s head are
light fawn color and the general color
ation of the body is a dark purple.
The most striking character is that
the rump and the upper part of the
legs are transversely striped with
black and white. It was first known in
1901, having been found in the Sem
liki forest, haunting low undergrowth
and swamps.
This particular specimen was in
Mme. Landagham’s possession for a
number of years and photographs of
it received here show it eating out of
her hand.
UNIQUE CONTRIVANCE
TO DETECT CAR THIEVES
LONDON, Aug. 20 (by mail).—
Motor car thieves were invited to at
tend a recent demonstration here of
a device invented by a British naval
engineer to check the thieves activity.
So far as known, none accepted the
invitation.
The invention consists of a box
containing a gong which is adjusted
by means of a key. Thereafter the
slightest movement of the car will
set the gong going and it will con
tinue its clamor until the car stops.
London’s police have been notified
of the invention and in future they
will detain the driver of any car
whose bell is ringing.
