PLAINS OF CANADA ATTRACT
YOUNG WOMEN OF ENGLAND
WINNIPEG, Man., July 3. (IP)—
Emily Pinder, a graduate of the ex
perimental farm of Leeds University,
is in Winnipeg to begin a year’s
study of Canadian agricultural meth
ods, with a view of creating, on her
return to the British Isles, a move
ment to western Canada of English
farm girls.
“Girls on the farms in all parts of
England are intensely interested in
Canada. They are seeking an outlet
for their energies and would migrate
to the dominion in large numbers If
only encouraged,” Miss Pinder as
serted.
Many of these young women, she
declared had sufficient funds to start
farms of their own and would prove
a valuable asset to the development
of the western country.
WOMEN POSTMEN WIN PRAISE
LONDON, July 3. (/P)—Women as
letter carriers in Great Britain have
proved a success, according to Sir
William Mitchell-Thomson, postmas
ter general, who said recently that
4,200 women were now' in the em
ploy of the department in that ca
pacity.
BUTCHER SPLITS RICHES
WITH HIS CUSTOMERS
HAVANA, July 3. (IP)—A short
time ago Segundo Tellechea, of Cam
po, Florida, was criticised in the
same manner as all butchers always
have been, for his high prices.
But suddenly he reduced prices be
low any other butcher for miles
around and people wrere loud in their
praise of Segundo. Friends, inquir
ing the reason for the cut, were in
formed that he had won $20,000 in
the government lottery.
BURNING IT UP.
Gasoline consumption in the United
States now amounts to more than
27,000,000 gallons a day, which is
an increase of 34 per cent over that
of last year.
To keep pace with this ever in
creasing demand, refineries are pro
ducing record-breaking quantities,
but since the first of April consump
tion has gone ahead of production
and stocks on hand have been de
creased to some extent.
Gasoline stocks have for some
time averaged about two months’ sup
ply—that is, if every refinery in the
country would stop work for twc
months there would not be a gollor
of gasoline anywhere in the United
States, at the present rate of con
sumption.
From these facts it may be readily
seen that there is no great probabili
ty of any decline in gasoline prices
in the near future, especially as th€
production fo high gravity crude oil
such as is used in its manufacture;
is not increasing although more
heavy oil is being taken from the
ground than ever before.
DECLINE OF CROSS-WORDS
Holding their own for a longer
time than most passing fads, the
cross-word puzzles seem to be losing
their grip and newspapers are begin
ning to do away with them.
Numerous attempts have been
made to invent new forms of the
puzzle and various syndicates fur
nishing them have used strenuous
efforts to maintain their popularity
but it appears that they will shortly
go the way of other diversions whicl
have at various times became a tern
porary craze.
The San Francisco Chronicle ii
one of the last big dailies to discon
tinue printing the puzzles and man:
others are discarding them. Perhapi
the puzzlers find it too warm fo
such mental exertion.

EXTRAVAGANCE IN DRESS
LONDON, July 3. (#»)—With Lon
don opera season in full swing many
new styles have been seen, particu
larly among the men. One of these
was a revival of the evening cloak.
These are cut in the Inverness cape
style, and lined with French grey
satin, or with a discreet blue.
And as for men’s handkerchiefs,
they are a bit thinner and flimsier
this year, and at very high prices.
As much as $40 to $60 a dozen i3
charged for these new creations o?
diaphanous linen for evening use.
The monograms of these ultra-styl
ish handkerchiefs are peculiarly
elaborate, being formed of thin lines
of bound silk drawn across a neat
hole in one corner.
