READY SALE
IN LONDON FOR
LOOT OF WAR
LONDON, June 25 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—England’s
newly rich, the persons who have ac
cumulated millions during the war and
since, are buying at any price de
manded furniture from some of the
ancient houses of the country, jewels
from some of the looted palaces of
Russia, and other continental coun
tries, and paintings from anywhere
if they bear the mark of time.
There is no lack of jewels for those
who have the price and are willing
to pay. Many beautiful pieces of jew
elry the history of which is not given
by the dealer, but which experts say
could only come from the wealthiest
families of Russia, are finding their
way into the market. Enormous prices
are being asked and promptly paid,
while the cost of ordinary stones, dia
monds, for instance, has risen to un
heard of heights. Many old English
families also are selling off their jew
els.
Flowers and food for the elaborate
entertainments which are beginning
to mark the appearance of the newly
rich are commanding fancy prices,
such as $25 for an orchid and $1.50 for
a peach.
Automobiles are very scarce and
expensive in Britain. Some of them
command as much as $10,000 to $15,000
and they are models of three and four
years ago, while new machines are
almost unobtainable. The maker of
the most famous English car turns
out only about eight hundred each
year, and it is said he already has
booked his entire output for this year
and next.
This extravagance is attracting
wide attention from newspapers and
public men. “Peace has brought an
orgy of spending,” says one writer,
“which high prices can do nothing to
check. The higher the price the eas
ier it is for those wrho have money
to draw the big lines of demarkation
between themselves and the crowd.”

SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST
MAKES APPEARANCE IN
VALLEY OF RIO GRANDE
EL PASO, Texas, July 25 (by Asso
ciated Press).—What city, state and
federal experts here agree is the sev
enteen-year locust has invaded the
El Paso section of the Rio Grande val
ley. Thus far, however, the insects
haye done no harm to growing crops,
and it is not believed they will appear
in devastating numbers.
Reports of the presence of the
cicades were first received from fish
ermen down the river, who com
plained that the locusts were making
such a noise that they were frighten
ing away all the fish.
Specimens of the males show the
characteristic “W” sign, which super
stition has interpreted as meaning
“war.” This marking is made of the
triangular markings which form the
“fiddle” through which the locust
makes his “music.”
The damage done by locusts is con
fined to the injury to trees when the
female lays her eggs. The eggs,
hatching under the tender bark of
young trees, cause it to split until the
tiny grub emerges from the crack,
drops to the ground and burrows far
down, to see the light no more until
it comes up seventeen years later. Old
trees are not injured by the insects,
nor do the cicades devour other grow
ing things, according to entymologists.
MEXICAN COMMANDER
IS CONGRATULATED FOR
HIS DEFENSE OF JUAREZ
EL PASO, Texas, July 25 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Colonel J. Gonzales Es
cobar is recovering rapidly from
wounds received in the recent battle
at Juarez while leading a charge which
drove Villa’s rebels from the town.
After receiving his wound Colonel
Escobar ordered his men to continue
the charge down Calle Commercio, and
delegated his command to the lieuten
ant colonel. He then rode to the in
ternational bridge, saluted the Ameri
can commander there and fell from
his horse in a faint from loss of
blood. He was taken to the Sisters’
hospital here, where he . is being
treated.
Among those who have called re
cently to congratulate him upon his
brave defense of the Mexican town
were General Francisco Gonzales,
commander of the Juarez district, and
Brigadier General James B. Erwin,
commander of the El Paso district.
COAL MINERS OF WALES

cause the coal miners of Wales can
not buy enough beer, owing to the
shortage, they are buying a brewery.

chase and operate it, and the capital
of $100,000 is being subscribed by va
rious miners’ clubs, which are taking

tion to membership.

JAP MEDICAL STUDENTS
.. TO COME TO AMERICA
-T --•
TOKIO, June 14 (by mail).—A com
mittee to encourage post-graduate
study on the part of Japanese students
in American scientific institutions has
been formed here. That Japanese med
ical students should go to the United
States instead of to Germany is one
of the ideas behind the project.
Dr. R. B. Teusler, head of St. Luke’s
hospital, Tokio, and now Red Cross
commissioner to Siberia, is one of the
originators of the plan. The Ameri
can committee to handle the question
already has been formed.

I “And my
GOODRICH Shoes j
j outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
years—and just back in the States. He
fi was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
, asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make,
i Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
I we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
' they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for. mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red
Line ‘Round The Top.”
