Some_copper has been sold for delivery in January, next year. Although the producing companies are turning out more copper than ever before in their history they have been obliged to ' refuse orders from some of their regular customers recently. I A considerable tonnage of unrefined copper was sold this week for export. It is to be made into copper sulphate, converted into Bordeaux mixture and used to spray vineyards. This leads to the conclusion that even the- supplies of unrefined copper in Europe have been practically exhausted. Brass makers in this country are continuing to receive ah enormous aggregate of orders for the various shapes used in the manufacture of ammunition and other war supplies. Consumers are afraid to enter upon new contracts until they have covered in the required amount of copper, and as a result there is no sign of any let up in the buying demand. A large tonnage has been sold recently at prices ranging from 26 to 28 cents and in these sales nearly all of the producing companies have participated.

The understanding is that the government will place a war tax on the earnings of corporations profiting by war business.

The custom which ordains that a woman may propose marriage to a man in leap year dates back seven or eight hundred years. An act of the* Scottish parliament, passed about the year 1228, made it a crime punishable by a fine, for an unattached man to refuse to become the life partner of a woman who had thejeourage to "speak ye mon she likjjdl" The custom in a milder form is referred to in a work published in 1606, entitled "Courtship, Love and Matrimony:" "Albeit it has now become a part of the common lawe in regarde to 'social relations of life that as every bissextile year doth return, the Indies have the sole privilege during the time it continueth of making love unto the men, which they doe either by wordes or by lookes, as to them it seemeth proper; and, moreover, no man shall be entitled to the benefits of clergy who doth in any wise treate her proposal with slight or contumely." skirts gracefully and without' self- consciousness, there is no great offense in itexcept to those whose morals is microscopic.

The great New York success "Within the Law," which .comes to the Miners' Union Opera house Marth 4, for one night only, bears the distinction' of having obtained the longest'run ever giveo a drama in a New York theatre, For over 400 performances capacity audiences were the rule at the Eltinge theatre. There are those, doubtless, who may ' undertake to prove that "Within the Law" is a problem melodrama. It may stand as a pitiless arraignment against the men who ask girls to work for them at wages on'which the girls cannot live; it may stand as an ironic exposure ofthe way the law is. sue- cessfully twisted by expensive lawyers to fit rich clients' needs; it may stand for something of a laugh at the, expense of the police department. But it is safe to say that audiences will not see anything in it. but an exciting entertainment of a most vivid kind in which the sympathy from first to last is with the shop girl who is sent to serve three years in prison for a crime she has, never committed. Someone once said that if you win your uudience in the first scene you may play with them for the rest of the evening. You have established your atmosphere. "Within, the Law" establishes its atmosphere in its first five minutes and maintains an undivided interest until the fall' of the curtain on the last act. Comedy is provided by the character of Agnes Lynch,, a professional blackmailer, whose tirades on the inspector of police never fails to elict roars of comedy and rounds of applause. No one who enjoys intense interest in dramatic production, a theme to think over, and plenty of good comedy, can afford to miss this production. All special scenery and effects are used. L O. O. F.
