It was really the first day of ' brilliant sunshine of the season to I grace a feature event at a French i race course. Summer furs of silver and blue foxes and white monkey 1 adorned the necks of the dainty Paris- I lennes, who, with cobwebbed stock- ■ ings, showed just a suspicion.of the [ color of the skin beneath gowns of taffeta, with ruohlnge, and wearing, poke "coal scuttle bonnets," attracted !

Crinolines and Tom Thnmb Shades A reversion to the 1830 Louis Philippe styles—what Anglo-Saxons | have been pleased to regard as early] Victorian—cam out second best in the d'lplay. In this category they wore hoop skirts of flimsy material, topped with Immense waists of the same design, and miniature umbrellas called *'tom thumb shades." j Duck green, which had been the i reigning color at the track during the ■ entire spring season, today had to \ give way hefore an avalanche of i white and mauve. Most conspicuous among the. sum- ner styles was the difference in the1 "decolette". Last year 90 per cent of the Parlsen women who watched the running of the Grand Prix de Paris displayed bare arms up to the shoulders. This year arms were covered, but shoulders were exposed to such an extent that it caused one clerical-looking United States tourist to mutter: "Some of these dresses would never 1 pass the muster of the beach censor at Atlantic City, or many of the Long i Island resorts." Flappers aro Bobbed At the track, the "flappers" were [ in pink, paisley or flimsy dresses, J bare heads and with bobbed hair. r Short eklrts wore few. President and Mme.

Near Bartlbog river, sectionmen, train hands, and soldiers on the Ocean Limited, were used in sweep- i ing the insects from the rails, before the engine could pull the rain 'up the grade.

'Mil See British Rights Trampled Upon in Volstead Act Regulation DEMAND GOVERNMENT TAKE ACTIVE STEPS Shipping Circles Increase Pressure; Foreign Office Will Probably Act LONDON, June 26.—No subject in recent days had occupied more of the attention of the British newspapers or offered a better topic for animated discussion than the liquor seizures in New York. The London newspapers seldom before have printed so many dispatches under United States date lines, and the greater majority of these relate to the liquor confiscation. The items are variously captioned. Dtvote Pag* to It "Dry comedy In the United Staes," "Meddling with our ships," "The Prohibition farce," The wet liner absurdity," "Making the Atlantic Dry," and "America's dilemma." The week-end editorials are couched in sarcastic vein. Some of them manifest resentment, and others are severely critical. All of them are eager to know what will be gained by a "test" case, and whether the seizures will continue. Some of the writers take the British government sharply to task for what is char- asterized as Its passive attitude, and its apparent intention to make the steamship companies fight out the issue with the United States government. Some of the newspapers take a stronger view of the situation, -and say the is.sue may lead to grave international complications unless the United States relaxes its ridiculous law. International Discord" The Sunday Times declares: "If the British government does nothing, then we practically invite Washington to trample upon British rights and the amenities of civilized existence. In a few years the Americans may ban tobacco, or diaphanous blouses, or some other target of the reformers' wrath, but if the Ameri cans try to force prohibitions that happen to appeal to their taste or morals upon foreigners wh0"e habits and predelietlons run in the opposite direction, then they deliberately are sowing the seeds of international discord." The Sunday Pictorial champions the cause of the "many Britons who pride themselves in living in the freest state and most democratic country in the world, and who resent America's action as an invasion of their liberty. We don't think prohibition should be forced upon u?, either in our ships or in our homes." Liner* Sail Full Stocked The Homeric, Belgenland, Laonla, and several other transatlantic liners are to sail this week, and their captains are evidently to run the risk of having their wet stores confiscated. Shipping corporations are, bringing renewed pressure to bear on the British government, and lt is considered likely the foreign office will make further representations to Washington on the liquor situation. LLOYD GEORGE FRIEND TO THE VOLSTEAD ACT Former Premier Says Britons Should View Sympathetically Effort to Deal With Great Curse LONDON, June 24.—Addressing a large congregation In the Welsh Baptist church here today, former Premier David Lloyd George made some interesting observations* regard Ing the prohibition situation ln the United States. During his discourse he made It apparent that he did not share the views of certain of the British newspapers concerning the lack of right of the United States authorities to seize British, liquor stores aboard ships. "I hope we won't get excited over the seizure of liquor in New York harbor," said Mr. Lloyd George. "It is not merely that America seems to be well within her rights, but I think we ought to extend a certain meas ure of sympathy to her in her diffi culties. "America is making a very bold experiment to deal with probably the greatest curse of modern civillza- tion. "It is all very well for us to say that alt this liquor is merely for our own salors aboard ships. I do not say this with regard to any particular ship—it may not b-3 po. But, speaking generally, there Is no doubt fortunes have been made by smug gllng liquor into the Unite! States in defiance of a law which was passed by a greater majority than almost 'any other great law in any other ■country, "Give lt a fair trial. I do not say the experiment will succeed. It is just possible that America may have to modify It. It Is In the interest of civilization that they be allowed full time to test this effort to solve a problem which is just as much ours as theirs." Several Houses in Toronto Are Struck; Nobody Is Injured TORONTO, June 24.—Half a dozen houses were struck by lightning and set afire during the storm which visited the city Saturday night.

WOOD Smuts Says Present Policy Works for British Producer Against Dominions DOMINIONS WILL DEMAND REVISION Union Will Appoint Trade Commissioner for Canada and the States CAPETOWN, South Africa, June 23. —In the Union house of assembly Saturday, Premier Smuts Initiated e. discussion regarding the agenda of thi*; Imperial economic conference to be held In October. He declared thai: imperial preference, up to tbe pres- enti has been largely to the advantage! of the British rather than thu dominions' producers, and he felt sure the question of the Imperial preference would be raised. Will Welcome Tariff Assistance. The position which South Africa would adopt, he said, would be to welcome any assistance which Iba British people could give ln the way of preference to South Africa's products, and also any widening of tlie field of tariff preference which could be given to her producers. Premier Smuts pointed out that, owing to the British fiscal policy, thu field of preference was limited and that was where the Issue would aris*. Australia and New Zealand were going to press very strongly for a very much stronger measure of preference for their products by Great Britain. The premier foreshadowed substantial exports of dried fruits from South Africa, which would have to moet competition from the continent In the British market. South Africa., said the premier, was not going to press the British government to change its fiscal policy. With reference to the fiscal policy in general, South Africa would adopt the same line as Canada had done. Will Reserve Trww Hand on Market*. He emphasized tbat the development of South Africa would require the widest expansion of her markets all over the world, and whatever arrangements they might make at the conference would not be of an exclusive character. Dealing with shipping and com* munlcatlons, Mr. Smuts pointed out that faster communications were needed within the Empire, but, owing to the difficulty of dealing with the question of shipping, they must await proposals the' British government would make at the conference. The premier paid tribute to the work of the trade commission and the commissioner for commerce. He foreshadowed tlie appointment of a commissioner for Canada and the United States.

This was the opinion expressed Inst night by H.W, Wood, president of the United Farmers of Alberta, who returned to Calgary Saturday after attending conferences on the wheat board in Winnipeg,, which ended in failure to or- ganize, Formation of the voluntary pool will not take place this year, however, Mr. Wood wild. Mr. Wood did not say whether this meant that the scheme of forming n compulsory wheat hoard would forever be abandoned. He merely said that in his opinion a voluntary pool plan would be the next topical step in the process of ultimately attaining centralized marketing of primary products. "Contracts with farmers would be necessary to ensure success of the plan, would they not?" he was asked. Southern Pools Rigid. "Yes." replied Mr. Wood, "I l derstand that in the Texas and Oklahoma pools, contracts were obtained with farmers to market their product under the voluntary pool plan for a numher of years. I believe the same system is utilized in the tobacco pool. Thus, the formation and organisation of a voluntary pool would be much more different than a compulsory board, and would take more time.' Mr. Wood however, was confident that ultlmateley a plan would be devised nnd placed in operation for the centralization of wheat selling. While there is life there is hope, and while there is life, there \s necessity, Mr. Wood said, and efforts would continue unabated. (Mr. Wood wild naturally he wa? disappointed at the defeat of the wheat hoard plan, saying that the fact that suitable men could not he obtained, was responsible for thc failure, It waa suggested that a? Manitoba was not In the scheme, and that trading in futures would continue on the floor of the Winnipeg Grain exchange irregardtess of what action Alberta nnd Saskatchewan took this might have Influenced grain men approached on the wheat board proposition, and Mr. Wood agreed Wheat will probably be lower In price this year than last, Mr. Wood said, when asked regarding what the possible effect the collapse of the board plans would have on prices. Grain men with whom Mr. Wood had talked were also of this opinion. The fact that the crop in Alberta probably would he greater this year than for many years in the past, would exert a bearish influence on the market also, he said.

This authorization can be given by :tie president of the control com mis- dan to factories and mines.

"As, when a nonparty hody gets together for the better of the community It cannot help stating some reforms," said Mr. Bowser. The world today was war wUkl people thought that the millennium would dawn on the European and Anglo-Saxon ra<*es. This* Was not so; the world was in the grip of reactions and troublesome times; the people were dissatisfied and it was the duty of the local community to what It could to settle conditions. "The people today are not normal, P.nd until then there will not be prosperity." said Mr. Bowser. "Those In ( ana da. cor.Id, however, do a Rreat deal as lhey had a grand history und tradition."

Currie the* Conservative, is again running for Toronto Soulhoast "A", though it one time reported to be retiring rations for their debts. Hbe did. however, acknowledge her debt to the United States, and through the chancellor agreed to ri-pay it In CO years, with Interest, not knowing when payments would be made to her by the other Kurop»nn nations. KiikI:iii>1 had come through the crisis and at presenl .showed a surplus of J500.000.000. This debt would be reduced ' this year, aud It was Mr. Bowser's belief that the great strHin of taxation and finance was practically over. At prevent the center of exchange had moved from London. England, to New York, but in a short time lie t'l-erticted it would change back to London. The animal addresH of Sir Arthur Johnstone of the Bovrll company, read by Mr. Bowser, liuggcsted that if such a surplus ns named above existed, the [ people t-hould create a reserve fund for disposal to Canada for the development of tlie {minlry, and it would be a great thing. He also puggeHied that the work of the support of the sol- oters along the Rhine ami tho debt incurred should be wiped off, An extract from lhe Chicago Tribune was BlA read by Mr. Bowser. The article, he stated, did not work along the lines that diplomacy meant KMOIM However, Canadians bhould ; in ver be ashamed at suggestions made1 at British traditions, as they should be proud to conic from tdock of thi:**. kind,. England Was Firm. The speaker then read a It-tin written by Otto H. Kahn, a (Jennan- Aiuerlcan financier. This opinion meant something, he stated. The letter said that England faced her problem with courage, resolul ion and resourcefulness. Someone had always been ruining lOaghind, but it was still doing business at the old stand. Today she was disappointing the il t- wi.shes by wise tradition and Hit* respect. l-.tigtand's ijualities made BnglUfd strong and thus kept her e»- chanse up iu timo of trouble. Thia Meant that money was going to England for safe-keeping; capital took refuge in England. In closing his letter lie hoped that Kngland and America, as in 1.U7 and 19JS they slood together, would In time of peace stand together for their own good and for the good of the world. '•Why should we not be proud when we are British and Anglo-Saxon?" asked Mr. Bowser, "If we have some confidence in Kngland, settled conditions will come In Europe; prosperity will come to this American continent which has so liutiiy assets. "What British Columbia needs fs foreign capital, and England will onie more return to Canadian Investments," he Mid, Suggestions had been made that Canada break away from the Empire and become a separate nutl-m. Mr. Bowear was personally opposed to any such action, and was sorry to see Hon. K, Lapointe Wanting to put Canada on i higher plane of treaty making. Just suppose, stated the speaker. that the United States and Canada went to trouble, or Canada and Jupan went to war; one battleship cuuld wipe British Columbia off the face of tlie map. What was wanted was closer ties with the Empire for protection's sake. When these new-fangled Ideas of breaking away from the motherland came up, the boards of trade could do a great, work, and it was their duly and responsibility to do all possible te stop the suggestions which might lead to the disintregation of the Empire ln closing, he stated that l.c thought it would be the unanimous opinion of the members of the board ol trade that if the time should come again, as In the past, for Canadians lo aid the Empiie, there would be the same response as during the war.

J, W. tones, member for South Okanagan md Jantei H. Schofield member far Trail addressed a political meetingR. Jordon acted as chairman. All tpeakerd dealt with the reckless spen- ling of public moneys hy the present fovernment- •* Mr. Bowser, in addressing tlie meeting, stated that he was not in Trail to criticise lion. John Oliver, tho premier, but to discuss the serious situatiop of the province. The matter was not case of politics, but was a chance for all people who had the interests of the province at heart tu «ee if the present government should he rntuincd any longer. Both sides of the question needed d iscusslon, and was u p to It he electors to decide if their business In tbe province was being run on a suitable busis. Mr. Bowser stated he had been in office fur many years. The Liberals had denounced htm and his government; the peopio later removed him. Men, untrained for office, were placed In charge. He had no complaint as to the verdict of the people at that time. Now it was up to the people again, and on its record the Oliver government must, shortly,' stand or fall. Premier Oliver, when taking office. had denounced the system of patronage, claiming ft to be clan-ted with highway robbery. "Vou have a liquor store In Trail. Do you find nny Conservatives there?" asked the leader for the opposition. Patronage throughout the province was widespread, and the people in public office were not of the best class. He referred to tho recent bur;*l;iry of the Oreenwood liquor store, where the woods had heen taken to the I'nited States hy airplane In broad davlight. In llll, continued Mr. Boveer, the present government had told the people that the late government was corrupt, unbusinesslike, ran a Wg puhlic debt und had not developed tile country as they should, and lhal a change would mean a superior system of administration. l'eople took their word. In the WM election the excuse was, although time hud added to debt it had left the vox try in a muddle, the unsuctessfsl- ness was blamed on tbe McBride and Bowser administrations. Now the party was about to again face an election, "They can't go to tin people now and say I'm to blame," said the speaker. "They will stand on their own bottom, and you people who are taxed to death are to hold them at their own stewardship." Government Aided John Oliver claimed lo have built roads throughout the country, and would lead people to believe that the. government had built the Rossland* Cascade mad. The Dominion government (iaid 41 per cent of the cost. through the policy of Uobert Borden, which hgd been followed by Mackenzie King, the present prime minister. Oliver, he said, also told the Slocan people he had given the women tlie vote. "I draftel the referendum in 1*916, and the .men voters by a large majority decided the women should b« on an equal basis, aud still Mr. Oliver will tell be gave the vole." The Workmen's Compensation act, also claimed hy Mr. Oliver, was drafted hy Mr. Kowsei- when he was attorney-general In ltll it had been laid ankle for Improvements. lt was later adopted as law. That, declared the speaker, was tlie honesty of Mr. Oliver's discussion of affairs. "Mr. Oliver asks how I am going to economize?" If I am going tu close tlie labor bureaus?" Half the coat of maintaining the hureaus was stood by the federal government.

VTh was U. F. O. whip In the Ontario house until the closing weeks, was turned down by the U. F. O. convention in his constituency of Huron Center. 1917 first framed the Mothers' Pension act. Mr. Bowser favored the act, but witslied honest enforcement. "We will look into this when we lake office," s&ld the Speakor, "and all cases will be adjudged u. cording to their merits. "TbO greatest rond builder in lhe Interior of British Columbia is James Schofield of Trail and formerly of Ymlr riding, his road monuments, built years ago, st;ui00.(H>0, Of this J,r.,000.000 had been borrowed this year, aud six months of the year was not gone. Civil service cost twice as much today as in l?lfi. Mr. Oliver claimed increased revenue meant a quarter more cost of operation. He had failed to state that the province's population had not yet Increased. No more clerks were necessary today than in 1J10 hecnitse the same taxpayer was just paying three times as much now as then. There was no excuse or justice for the enormous overhead. This was caused through hotel bills and Joy riding, motor curs for the civil servants at the taxpayers' expense; $1.5,000 a month was spent this *way. ' Figures of borrowing and expenses were alarming. Since 1516 $132,000,000 had been borrowed. Oliver Is rich, where spending the peoples' money is concerned, and it is hard to believe he Is the same mon who denounced the Conservatives. Al! this is charged to you, said Mr. Bowser. Speaking on Mr. Oliver's freight rate question. Mr. Bowser stated that In 1901 'James I>unsrnuir, who was then premier, sent a delegation to Ottawa on this question. lrj 1903 Colonel Brlor pressed the matter. Utter Sir Richard McBride sent u committee, composed of Charles Wilson and Itobert Green, now tien-.it or (ireen, tg interview the federal authorities on this question of butter terms for the mountains. In 1905, with no assistance of John Oliver, a brief was filed by the Conservatives, ln 1907 Sir Richard McBride passed a resolution that British Columbia receive Jluy.ouo fully years, for the payement of better terms. Hhls was later accepted hy the then-Premier Sir Wilfrid Laurier. and made final and unalterable. At that time John Oliver was in the legislature, and he didn't do a tiling i then. In 1910 the Conservatives took up the freight rates question with the government and W. A. Mc- IXjnald, formerly of Nelson and now Justice McIXinuld, assisted by several experts, went fully into the matter with the railway commission, but with no succe.«s, This committee was In no wav assisted by the Liberals. Thus. stated the speakoi', ths freight mles question was decided 10 vcars ago. and Oliver lij.,1 been iu a Bip van Winkle sleep for that time. It was only on the eve of an election that the premier started this freight rates question. He was now usiim it as a smoke screen, lo cover up administration of which he was ashamed, The IHuikiiobor situation at Orand Forks was another deathbed repentance, stated Mr. Bowser. "I am as strongly in favor of freight rates as he, except I do not start out on the eve of a nelection. ln 1914 the rallwav commission was to sit I -ui the eve of an election. In 1914 | war th* tiling was cancelled. In | 19ltl the government had been overthrown. "After Oliver is dead and Tone, t will take up the freight rates question again," said M*. Bowser. The public debt of the province was serious, ho continued. The credit was almost gone. Hundreds of people were being carried by false reports, What was neede i was a new government. Willi good men selected from each constituency, .Mr. Bowser stated, he could form a government which would do much better work than the present administration is doing. Restore Confidence The first step would be to restore the confidence of tlie people in Ibis country. Mr. Oliver was denouncing the Canadian Pacific vail- way, and Mr. Bowser stated that, in the :n years of his public life, he had never seen a corporation which had done so much good us the Canadian Pacific railway had done. All Kootenay developments were because of tlie Canadian Pacific railway lines, nf which the people should be proud. The Trail smelter was made possible through this organisation, "if Premier Oliver wishes lhe Canadian Pacific rahvay to reduce freght rates. I could tell him how tu do it." said Mr. Bowser 'Hlis people control the Canadian National system and charge the same freight rates as the Canadian Pacific railway. All he has to d„ is to reduce the Canadian National rates for competition.*1 The premier had attacked the Canadian Pacific railway, but had- never said a word ibout the Canadian National railways The pverhead expenses of the province should be reduced. Tliey were now S-.I.l-OO.OOO. Mr. Bowser proposed cutting these by $1,000,000 the first year, The civil service salaries should be looked into, mid MM man retained fo,- one job. Th. | public works should be simplified. | hi 1911 tin-re was a road' superintendent, where today there were j lislrict engineers, and morn en < gineers. Speaking mu the liquor control | system, Mr. Howser created an att- , mosplni-f! which kept tlie audience wide awake. "Vou know tho class of people employed in the liquor | stores." said .Mr. Bowser, who told of meeting a vendor last year, whom he had defended in court for rolling a Swede. In the old days the bars kept a stock of perhaps 10 brands id whiskey. The new bartender, John Oliver, stocked 84 brands with the people's money. That was where the graft came in. Many war brands hail been purchased at. M Shillings a piece. Tho . government bought the ill-natured whiskey at tQ shillings through an agent, aud it was sold at -10 shillings. Eelectricity Does It thlsilsbottleil - . A blander wns employed at the coast warehouse, where cheap whisk] was emptied into a vat--King George whisky was added to give it tone, prune juice was then added aud tho following process. a professional secret obtained from the blender under oalh, was then gonji through. An electric wire was attached to the vat, and the mixture churned, tho Idea being to give tho whisky 10 years of ageing In 10 minutes The mixture was then withdrawn and bottled, and labelled U C B., and sold at $.1.50. "iJentlemen maybe you have been drinking h. C. B. brand; that will account for the headaches" stated tho opposition leader.. Under a. new regime all this would go. There would be no Archie Johnstone of the Kootenays at the head of the liquor hoard. In his place would be an old-time liquor man, obtained from some of the well-known liquor houses. The business would bo run as the people wished it. Mr. Oliver had attempted to prove that Bowser was crooked, so stated tho speaker, but was unsuccessful All that was needed was the proper men from each constituency, and these, under -Hr. Bowsers" leader- I ship, would bring about a change for the good of the province. People Leaving Canada J W. Jones, member for South Okanagan proceeded Mr. Bowser. He was pleased to greet a Trail audience the home of the Conservative whip James Hchoffeld. The prewent government, he stated did not know Its own mind. lion. John Oliver had stated that there was prosperity and no criticism of the government in any part of the province. He defied the premier to go to his South Okanagan constituency and preach prosperity. The premier referred to the people carrying on but made no statement of the exodus from this province to the states in the last six months'. From September to March 14,000 had gone to the States, of these there-were 8,000 Canadians, the others were naturalized Canadluna. Thus there must be something wrung. Production in the province two years ago was $64,000,- 000, last year It was $04,000,000 and yet while the people had agreed to go on the land a decrease had been id*own. Twice aw much butter was being imported to British Columbia as was beitiff produced, seven times as much mutton and two and half'timea as much pork was imported as produced, these did not point to progress. What the people needed was advice to encourage them to stay on the land. One reason for the people leaving, being the heavy taxation of the past six years, premier Oliver pointed with pride at the revenue figures of this year for |lt,000,000 as compared with $0,291,000 of 1916. The latter figures were at the husie.it time of the empire when the men were away or leaving the country for overseas and produce had fallen down. He took pride in increasing the revenue of the province through the pockelN of the taxpayers. thus capital was shy- During the past six years the revenue had amounted to $86,000,000 while the expenditures were $96,000,- 000 and the government had been forced to borrow. On comparing j Hritish Columbia and Quebec It was shown that (lie expenditure there per capita was $7 while iu this province 1 it was $40. This was the difference of careful administration and that of British Columbia. Civil service saluries this past year were ||,1I8,0-H while under the Conservatives it was $1,664,000. In- crtOHf in salaries had been granted but only a few of the servants had got it. Pulillr Dent Largo The public debt of the province ju 1M7 was $1B,?S4.000. tin the first of November last year it was $57,060,- 000, nearly three times us much in six yetrp. The taxpayer was helping to pay that ibht off and some of thos*' today would not live to see it paid off. It was going to lake th<* best endeavors of the coming government to wipe off the debt. Tho finance minister had claimed that the debt was increased .owing to war debts and land ventures for soldiers, irrigation schemes and other methods. For the board $1,500,000 had for settlements nt 1. and Fernie. At Merville the land had been purchased three or four years ago one of the agricultural experts of the government denouncing the, hind as unfit. Up to last fall nut more than 8 to 10 lots of from two acres had been cleared and ttie liabilities against each soldier settlers had amounted to between $4,000 and $6,000. The land was stoney, light and stumpy. Al Creston $lj,400.000 had been spi in clearing operations under Col. I. ter who had resigned In disgust. Of the 130 returned men originally ther about so remained, the others' having gone to Fernle and Trail to seek employment. Another debt incurred was the irrigation scheme In the Okanagan Valley at Oliver, which had amuunred to |1,865,D00 and the iiistrictf, wero now wondering how the debt would be paid. The land settlement Idea at Oliver had also cost Ihe province much money. There had been 2^,01)0 res bought apd irrigation proposals lounting to IS50,006 made. After the land was subdivided and roads built only half was able to bo irrecat- Already $2,606,000 had been spent nn this schme, and it wuh tlmated that four millions would be spent hefore it was compiled. From in investment of $4,000,000 tin- re- urns would be $1,500,1*00 showing a ;lraight loss. Such reckless squandcr- ng :is these, bad put the province in lent and it was up to people when lection came, to elect men who had '•Cards for ihe sdmlnhrtrat iffalrs of the province. James II. Schofield, mel,|l"T Trail stated, .that it looked like lection in the next six months the visitors wore sort of spying the land.

Wbole Wheat Bread Lettuce Cocoa Jam Dinner Tomato Bisque Baked Sword Fish Baked Potatoes peas Fruit Salad Coffee Cottage Pudding It la a deplorable fact 'that the average family ia not fond of fish. On Fridays such a family will eat lt—but on other days of the week meat is preferred. And I mum confess that I am not among this majority who prefer meat to fish! Yet, for reasons of economy, I believe that we should ent fish at least twice a week. Many varieties of fish are cheaper than our favorite meats. We should, therefore, be glad to eat fish often, rather than only on Fridays. In summertime, especially, It Is wise for us to eat plenty of fish. For in hot weather we do not need the heavy, red-blooded meats; our stomachs are working under the handicap of exhausting atrfiospheric heat, and they can more easily digest the simple fish. Although there are 40 commonly- known varieties of edible flBh, the average housekeeper Is familiar with flnly a few. This is doubtless because her local market carries only a few kinds, (for, In different parts of the country, different kinds of fish are plentiful). Almost all of us, however, are familiar with the following kinds: The Dark-Fleshed Fish — These are known as the olly-meated fish. They have a rich flavor, for the fat is distributed through the flesh. The best known ol thla variety are the bltiefis.li, mackerel, shad, salmon, herring, awordflth and sabh'flsh. Because of their own rich flavor, they n«"fd very little seasoning, (except salt, butter and pepper), and they are best served with the mildly- flavored and sweet-Juice vegetables, such as peas, carrots, beets, greens end asparagus . They need no sauces. The White-Fleshed Fish — These fish, however, need rich butter and oil sauces to make them tempting. The heet known of this variety are the flounder, pike, cod, hake, turbat, perch, pollack, Rtrlped bass, red snapper haddock, halibut and white- fish. These are called "lean" and "dry-ineated" fish, and they have their fat secreted in the liver. All strong-juiced or acid-flavored vege tables are suitable to serve with thpm—such as tomatoes, onions, cu cumber, green pepper, dandelion greens and chives. Of course these suggestions are not fixed dietetic laws. If you wish to serve one of the milder-riavored vegetables with a white-fleshed fish you can supply the acid or puiquant flavor with a fruit salad or fruit dessert. Tomorrow — Answered Letters.

Ten Years Ago Why do fat people whe want to reduce always take such a roundabout way of attaining this end? If Increased physical exercise will bring satisfactory results, as it is said it will, why don't these oversized persons find some sensible and useful kind of work In which such exercise may be found? They 'seem to go to a good deal of trouble to get themselves Into Bhape so that a smaller Buit of • clothes will fit them; but lt is not by* the kifid of work which appeals to reasonable persons. Roll- ffig "Around ln one's pyjamas on the floor for a half hour every morn- ning may be an effective way of getting rid of superfluous flesh; but neither- to the persona in the next room, nor to those in the room Immediately below, does thia process of weight reduction appeal as a rational form of exercise. Fat are urged now to play croquet. The fact that they are to use only a mallet with a- very short handle will make H necessary for them to stoop over, and thus exercise regions moat -affected by the adipose tissue, Th* sport Is said to be becoming more popular from day to day, and the results In decreased weight are unusually gratifying. But why not take to something useful? If exercise will do the business, why not a couple of wash- tubs with a week's washing done to a state of immaculate whiteness? Hep-eat this exercise every day for a month or two, and the results will be Just as satisfying as they will be from rolling insanely around the bedroom floor for a half hour in the morning. Probably more so. - What shall be said of an individual who finds that at all hazards he must reduce, and then hires someone to remove the dandelions from the front yard, and for himself takes to playing croquet.

Do You Get Seasick? dit- w the WhatMouThink? (Registered ln accordance with the Copyright Act) Seasickness or trainslckness are such distressing conditions that perhaps a few thoughts about them might be helpful. As to the cause? Well, there are about 20 ferent things that are blamed, that our balancing organ in inner ear is at the bottom of it seems to find favor with most investigators. This fluid in the ear gets shifted about in such an unusual way that It sends impulses to the vomitting center in the brain. Tfce fact that deaf mutes are free from seasickness would tend to sterngthen that idea as to its cause. On thc other hand the shifting of the abdominal organs by the motion is also blamed. The fact that a good wide belt worn* tightly about the abdomen affords relief to many people has been amply proven. It Is estimated that only about one person in 20 entirely escapes seasickness, while at least one ln every two are pretty sick. Now, what to do about it? Well, the first thing is to get yourself, particularly your "Intestine, in good shape beforp you go on the boat. Take a good purge, particularly one that will stimulate the liver. Cut out pork, pastry and ca ndies for a few days before you go on board. And, when you get on board, go lightly on meals. I know they are good and the open air makes you hungry, but eat little and often. You know they feed you five or six meals a day, so take a "little" every time, with the emphasis on tlie "little." If you feel Rick, notwithstanding all your precautions, try and stay midway in the boat and get less of the motion. Remember you must take something into your stomach or you' will get very, weak. So. after each retching spell, take a little broth or, beef tea. So, if you're up against It, remember the above suggestions—midway on the ship—a wide belt—and nourishment after each retching spell. prepared from the fresh young leaves of "SALADA" is the ideal drink for Summer.

ABBOTT'S CLAIM ENGLAND STILL WORRIES OVER SMOKE PROBLEM 'Eii£lam1 iigaiiis Is becoming excited over Its black srnoko problem and rumors that something might 'tte done have caused manufacturers anxiety. lt has been said that legislation -would be passed requiring manufacturers to place smoke, (-onsumers o*t their plants, nut they have little to fear from the government, If one may judge from the records of the past century, a correspondent in the Manchester Guardian says. The first actual mention of the Bmoke nuisance In Great Britain wa» in IWTi when Eleanor, the queen of Henry VN., Indignantly refused to live any longer at Nottingham castle because of the obnoxious black smoke from tho "sea- coles" burned in the village below, and went off in a huff to live at Tilbury castle. Hjdwonl I. made a yreat effort tp stop the use of coal in London, issuing his famous proelamation In 1307, and about this time at least one man is said to have been hanged for the cirme of persisting in ths use of coal. However, the shortage of wood made lhe use of coal Imperative, and Great Britain had to endure a moderate—but still very objectionable—amount of smoke for the next five centuries. The invention of the steam engine and inauguration of the Industrial era began, about 1870, to render Uie smoke nuisance intolerable. In 1822 the house of commons took up the question. Experts said that with ery little trouble the nuisance could be abated, but the manufacturers set up a howl, and the committee dropped the matter. And su^h is the status today. After a 100 years the situation is the same, and until the house ignores the voice of the manufacturers the smoke nuisance will continue throughout Great Great Britain. If Correct, It Means CoM Surnmet, Spoiling of Crops, and Sever9 Winter ■When L)r| diaries Q Abbot, secretary of the National Academy of sciences, announced that Uu heat uf the siiti was gradually diminishing and had decreased from ;i to 4 fee cent during the laid U iiiyi-ths, In- started a controversy which promises to rage Indefinitely, If Dr. Abbot's statement is prnved to be correct it means a cold summer, a spoiling of the rrops and an unusually severe winter. E>r. Abbot id.ouM speak with authority, since he. has ben continuously engaged in the study of solar radiation since UK, when he joined tho staff of the Bmlthionlan Astronomical observatory.
