GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR
GERMAN DYE INDUSTRY
BERLIN.—German trade experts
are pessimistic over the prospects
of selling German dyes in foreign
markets. Part of this is due to
the peace terms, and part to realiza
tion of the fact that the Entente
Allies learned how to produce dyes
, while making explosives for the war.
It is asserted that the industry
has been further harmed by the con
fiscation, by France, of factories for
making dyes and chemicals; by the
seizure, by America, of German
patents and their distribution to
■Americans, so that Germany would
be guilty of breach of patent if it
attempted to sell dyes in the United
States again. In addition to which,
England and America are expected
to erect customs barriers making
German competition impossible.
! Fears are expressed that foreign
countries will be able to push Ger
many out of the market with mass
production.

CLUB SETS DATE
DECEMBER SIXTH
ANNUAL SMOKER
The annual smoker of the Ne
nana Commercial club, for which
arrangements are now being made
by a committee consisting of Alex
Fowler. Burdette Tunison, and S.
E. Parks, will be held on Saturday
r.ight, December 6th. The date
was decided upon at a special meet
ing of the flub last night and the
committee instructed to carry out
the plans as originally outlined. The
smoker will be held at Union hall.
The names of four new members
were added to the club roll last
night—August Peterson, E. H. Os
borne Vaudin, Joe F. O’Connor, and
Louis Johnson.
For the purpose of continuing the
work of wagon road campaigning,
with a view to securing the early
construction of a road into the Kan
tishna district from the Government
railroad, a new permanent roads
committee was appointed by Presi
dent Bowen, several of the appoint
ees being members of the commit
tee which served during the past
year. The new committee is com
posed of M. A. Schaeffer, George
W. Woods, Ed Brooker, Martin
Nash, and M. J. Cooney.
The chair also appointed a new
finance committee, consisting of J.
A. Slippern and Ralph Waechter,
Who will serve in conjunction with
the secretary.
The secretary was instructed to
send a telegram to the secretary of
the fisheries bureau commission
which is now in Seattle conducting
hearings on the Alaska fish ques
tion, reminding the investigators
that Xenana “is of the same opinion
1 still” regarding the necessity of
j closing the Yukon river and delta
to canneries. The local club was
the first organization in Interior
Alaska to protest against the opera
tion of the Carlisle cannery near
the mouth of the Yukon river, and
there is daily evidence of the fact
that the stand of the club was well
founded.
The secretary also was instructed
to write to Delegate Grigsby re
questing that N'enana be supplied
with an early shipment of Govern
ment seeds for spring planting.
Former President R. S. McDon
ald gave the members a brief out
line of the things accomplished by
the Xenana Commercial club durin;
the past couple of years. The list
includes many accomplishments, nu
merous of which have been very
beneficial to Xenana and to the
surrounding districts. The list is
now being prepared for publication,
and will be ready probably within
the next day or two. It represents
much work on the part of the mem
bers of the club and the results ob
tained reflect much credit upon the
organization.

ENGLISH BIRTH RATE
SHOWS RAPID INCREASE
_
LONDON. — More babies were
born in England during August this.
year than in any prerious month
■since the beginning of the war. Of
ficial returns show the number to
be 6,390. equivalent to an annual
rate of 18 per thousand, and 461 i
babies more than in the same month !

I “1 believe that during and after'
; wars more boy babies are born
than girls,” said Dr. Mary Scharlieb, I
a specialist, discussing the report. ,
i “I think official figures will prove (
that more boys arc born during:
l
periods of stress, hardship, and food
shortage, and more girls during;
periods’of wealth, ease, and luxury.”
“A baby these days is a very ex- ■
pensive addition to the average Brit
