PARIS AGAIN ENDEAVORS
TO SET WORLD STYLES
PARIS Mar. 6— A directoire touch
in day costumes and Oriental in
fluence with gorgeous embroideries in
evening frocks, marked the opening
of the spring season of the Paris
dressmaking establishments, now in
full swing.
Long haired mannequins have vir

flare. The long V and dropped stom
ach effects are evident. Many of the
models have the front cut in the long
V, or the ornamentation is arranged
with the V as the basis.
In the tailored costumes the colors
incline to browns and the various
shades of beige, in which kasha
cloths are extensively employed.
Evening frocks and wraps run to
Oriental styles, many of them having
the wrapped around effect finished on
one side, with a long tassel where a
sleeve might have been. But sleeves
on the whole, appear to be in the
majority and. they are more or less
fancy and curious in their cuts. Some
are open at the elbow and puffed at
the wrist. When sleeves are absent,
however, they disappaer completely.
Some evening dresses show deep
armholes ,and in many instances the
bodices seem to be cut aAvay under
the arms.

HAWAIIAN CANNA STARCH
FINDS A READY MARKET
IN THE UNITED STATES
HONOLULU, Mar. 6.—Hawaii’s
most recent industry—the produc
tion of starch from canna plants—
came thru the piist year with a total
output of 22,000 cases, according to
announcement by Edouard R. Doty,
secretary of the Hawaiian Starch
company.
The entire production will be ab
sorbed on the mainland and is sought
anxiously by mainland manufacturers
of starch who mix it with their own
product to raise the quality, Doty
said.
The manufacture of starch from
canna tubers was launched by the
»
Hawaiian company harvesting its
first appreciable crop in 192-1. The
demand for the product, Doty said,
is practically limitless and 100,000
cases of the starch could have been
disposed of this year. Considerable
new acreage is being granted to can
na, which is refined at Hilo.
DEALER DESCRIBES DEMAND
FOR DIAMONDS AS INSATIABLE
LONDON, Mar. 6—There is no
likelihood of diamonds becoming as
cheap as colored beads, despite the
recent prolific discoveries in South
Africa, Gordon Nathan, a prominent
diamond dealer, said recently to a
re porter of the Daily Graphic.
“There never will be enough natur
al diamonds to satisfy the demands,”
the speaker added. “Even if that
mysterious syndicate of which we
hear so much fulfilled its threat and
flooded the market today with $100,
000,000 worth of diamonds, no lasting
harm would be done. They would be
bought up in ten minutes; the trade
would suffer a temporary depression
and the demand in a short time
! would be as keen as ever.”

SYNTHETIC MANUFACTURE MAY
CHEAPEN CHILEAN NITRATES
LONDON, Mar. 6.—The fear of
synthetic nitrogen becoming a seri
ous competitor to the Chilean prod
uct is now being regarded more seri
ously than for 20 years past, and
has caused a rather sharp decline in
prices of producing shares on the
stock market.
A writer in the annual review of
Aikman, Ltd., nitrate brokers, speak
ing of theartificial product, declares
that synthetic nitrogen in its vari
ous forms is daily becoming a more
serious competitor to Chilean nitrate
of soda, owing to the cheaper price
at which it can be sold, and that the
erection of several large plants for
the production of both sulphate and
nitrate of lime is at present under
consideration in various countries.
BULGARIA RANKS WELL
IN MODERN SANITATION

Europe, Dr. Selskar Mitchael Gunn,
before his departure from Sofia after
is visit of inspection of sanitation
in Bulgaria, arranger for the sending
of six local physicians for a year’s
course of study and practice in Am
erican hospitals. These doctors are
to be selected by competitive exam
ination, and will leave next Septem
ber.
Pr. Gunn pronounced himself high
ly pleased with the arrangements for
sanitation in Bulgaria, which he pro
nounced superior to the achievemens
along the same lines in several Eu
ropean countries.
Borah never would stand hitched.
He and the foreign policy should
find much in common.

SLAVEHOLDERS IN ARABIA
MODIFY THEIR METHODS
JERUSALEM, Mar. 6—The slave
trade still flourishes in Arabia where
a state of war exists between the
Hashemite family, the former rul
ers of Mecca, and Sultan Ibn Saud.
the Wahabi leader and contestant
of the Husseins’ vested rights to Mos
lem’s holiest city. One of Ibn Saud’s
first acts after attacking the Hedjaz
was to free many slaves.
Conditions, however, differ consid
erably from the methods of former
days. The slave markets have now
been closed, and it is very rare to
hear of a slave being offered for sale
openly. But this does not prevent
the existence of slaves in the service
of the noble and wealthy, who stiil
have the children of their old slaves
in their service. These were neith
er freed by their masters, nor did
they ask their masters to free them,
being content to live in the houses
where they were born.
In the Yemen, it is said, the child
ren of negroes may be offered for
sale. The masters who have such
slaves are free to do what they like
with them; even if a slave is killed
by his master the latter cannot be
held responsible for the crime.
