MANY FAPRES
CAUSE ENGLISH
TO ECONOMIZE
LONDON, Aug. 5 (by Associated
Press).—English people have deter
mined upon a policy of strict economy
resulting in a considerable increase in
the number of bankruptcies during the
last few months. These failures have
occurred not only in London but also
in the provinces. Business men, how
ever, are confronted by the fact that
the aggregate number is far below the
total of pre-war years, figures for 1919
being 737 as against 2,856 for 1914.
While many reasons are advanced
for this state of affairs, the most ac
ceptable one in business circles is the
attitude of the buying public which
has decided only to purchase absolute
necessities. In consequence, traders
# who have purchased large stocks of
goods at fancy prices in anticipation
of quick and handsome profits, find
themselves with “white elephants” on
their hands and a non-buying public.
The goods had to be disposed of fre
quently at a big loss.
The recent bankruptcies included a
number of demobilized men who
started business with the proceeds of
their gratuity and small savings.
These men, for the most part, were in
experienced in the ways of trade and
when a severe test came, they were
forced to close their doors.
A woman proprietor of a high-class
millinery shop in Bond street ex
plained recently that wealthy women
who before the war bought generously
in such specialty shops as hers, were
unable to do so now, because of the
tremendous increase in the cost of
living, wages for servants, etc. These
women now are only purchasing the
necessities, the business woman
added.
From every trade comes the report
that shop keepers and business houses
generally find themselves with an
overstock of goods, purchased in hope
of a big buying season this spring and
summer.
GIRLS BADLY BURNED
WHEN FLIMSY GOWNS
IGNITE FROM GAS JET
TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 5—Fuzzy
gowns and a gas flame almost brought
destruction in a girl’s rooming house
here.

jet in the bathroom to heat water.
As she reached across the burning jet
the fuzz on her nightgown caught
fire. In her fright she ran across
the hall and jumped into bed with
Miss Adele Osbourns, who also was
wearing a flanelette gown. In an in
stant Miss Osborne’s garment also
was blazing.
In fheir frenzy the girls rolled hys
! terically under the covers and cried
for help. Before the members of the
household reached them the flames
had been snuffed out.

BALD EAGLE AND
iSALMON
GIVE BATTLE
SEATTLE, Aug. 5 (by Associated
Press).—With right hands upraised
and left hands across their hearts,
every man aboard the schooner Roose
velt, from the master to the cook,
averred they saw a huge bald eagle
take a wild ride on the back of a
huge spring salmon which the bird at
tempted to catch in the stretch of
water between Cape Mudge and Sey
mour narrows, Gulf of Georgia. And
they brought the eagle to Seattle to
prove the tale. The Roosevelt was
on its way to Seattle from the fishing
banks in Hecate strait. Shortly after
passing Seymour narrows members of
the crew noticed a bald eagle flying
close to the water, near the vessel.
As they watched the big bird skim
ming near the surface, a spring sal
mon, estimated to weight about 20
pounds leaped clear of the swift mov
ing current. Quick as a flash the
eagle drove his sharp talons into the
fish’s back.
■%
There was a great splash as the big
springer dived, taking the eagle be
neath the surface. All hands rushed
to the rail to watch the struggle.
Three times the fish and the bird
disappeared in the water, while the
Roosevelt steered a course close be
hind them.
Finally the eagle loosened its hold
on the salmon and flopped over on
the surface of the water completely
exhausted. It had put up a game
fight but had lost its prey.
The crew of the Roosevelt pulled
the bird aboard with a bait hook. The
eagle was soaking wet but on deck
it soon recovered and showed fight.
While the battle between the bird
and the fish was in progress two other
eagles flew around the vicinity scream
ing loudly.
Captain Barney Pederson brought
the captured eagle to Seattle and pre
sented it to one of the public parks.
