Higher Price for
Furs Next Winter
Say London Dealers
(By Associated Press )
LONDON. July 2."i. Fur dealers in
London say that furs in America and
Great Britain are to be uigher in price
next fall and winter than ever. Alien
furriers in Loudon have advanced the
price of the furs they are putting on
the market 200 per cent since spring
and many of these were damaged
skins.
In some of the London shops fur
coats were displayed recently at
' prices ranging from $200 to $250 which
I a short time ago could have been
bought for $"0 or $75.
"We are quite at the mercy of the
Russian alien workman" a British
furrier said. "They know more about
'the fur trade than anyone else. I
j would not guarantee the plainest fur
(coat at $100. as owing to the lack of
proper workmanship and the short-
lage of furs a coat is often made up
of some pieces that are faulty though
j some parts of it may be good.
I "It is difficult just now to get
i the alien furriers to do repairing.
I They are keeping coats and fur wraps
jin hand for months as they do not
jwant to be iiothered with repair work
while they arc preparing new gar-
ments for their full harvest -of ab-
j normal prices''

PUT ON FEW DROPS
AND LIFT OUT CORN
TRY THIS YOURSELF. TIIEX PAS
IT ALONG TO OTHERS.
IT WORKS!
Hood things should Uo passed along.
It is now said that a few 'drops of a
drug called freezone applied directly
upon a tender aching corn relieves
the sorness and soon the entire corn-
root and. all can be lifted out without
iain.
For little cost a quarter of an ounce
of freezone can ne obtained from-any
drug store which is claimed to "be suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet.
This is a -drug recently announced
from Cincinnati: It is gummy but
dries the moment it ' is applied and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the
healthy tissue or skin.
Cut this out and lay it on your
wife's dresser.

I SCOT BEATLAW BY A NOSE
Thirsty Sandy in Wild Race Against
Time Arrives on Quarter Minute
and Gets His Drink.
Writing in Everybody's- Maude Rad-
ford Warren enumerates some amusing
Incident showing the effects of lim-
ited war prohibition in England.- One
evening the author witnessed the fol-
lowing race agninst time that was
staged near Victoria station London
at an hour when traffic is thickest:
"Presently a shouting and cursing
arose at the center of the Intersecting
streets. " People turned peering and
gaping. Streaking straight through
the traffic regardless of thundering
trucks and sliding cabs and obstruct-
ing pedestrians came a Scotchman
His eyes were glassy and staring; his
kilts were flying; his knees were twin-
kling. On he came straight for the
public house. If he could get a hand
on a glass of his national vodka by.
9:29 he was saved. Would he make
It? A group of ribald Americans
cheered him on yelling at him in race
track fashion. Ills fellow Scotchmen
silently made way for him and some
of them even pushed people out of his
path. But they did not cheer; it was
a matter too deep for sounds. On
came Sandy; panting glaring he
leaped through the door and xi sym-
pathizer from over the seas who fol-
lowed hliu reported that 9:29 he hud
a strong Highland paw curled around
three fingers of Scotch. The eary
closing law thanks to good sprinting
had been respected but nevertheless
the trench liad been taken and the day
saved."
MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING
Jersey City Judge Rules In Favor of
Girl Whose Intended Sought
Return of Sparkler.
There can be no Indian givers' on
the Jersey side of the Hudson so
ruled n judge In Jersey City; writes a
New York correspondent. As a result
of the. decision a young swain is out
fi $150 diamond ring which he wanted
a blue-eyed petite blonde to return to
.him.
The two wore engaged and according
to custom he placed the sparkler in
question on. her loft hand. They then
quarreled because she according to
his testimony preferred the tango jazz
and foxtrot to sitting on a sofa and dis-
cussing their future. Therefore he
broke off the engagement and demand-
ed his presents buck.
The Judge was called tipon to decide
whether an engagement ring was a
gift outright or merely a gift contin-
gent upon the fulfillment of a promise
to wed. The court then arranged a
little "Solomon judgment" skit that
worked to perfection so far as the
judge and the young woman were con-
cerned. The Matterhorn.
The Jfatterhorn was the favorite
petk of those who "went in'' for the
lur.ardous sport of mountain climbing
in tho Swiss Alps. Now "reports say
that there is no more mountain climb-
ing bei.ig done. It is easy enough to
guess Why writes Xiksab. Kqr those
who went around the Y.orlil looking
for hazardous occupations before the
war there Is now no need to 'make ex-
tended .search to stop at- expensive-
hotels or to biro a retinue of guides.
Nineteen nations oiTVr the adventurer
mure op -less t.f a salary along with
board lodging and hospital facilities
for-ihe pleasure of. risking his. neck.
Xo wonder mountain climbing has
fallen off.
There are those who say that It
will never again regain its old high
estate. They rather think aviation
will attract most of the devotees "who
survive the war. But your true moun-
taineer langhs at such a suggestion:
For hlrn thro Is no thrill to replace
the 6nr he feels as he swings by" his
fingertips over a fiOO-font drop.
French Aristocracy Works.

Insurance Against
Injury from Bombr
Now Sold in I(ans
(By Associated Press.l
PARIS. July 2.". The German ad-
vance has. brought into Paris '-'anti-bombardment
insurance." ffhe one
ccntpany allowed to do such business
will insure any given property only
against damage from -5000 shells.
If the Germans were to reach a point
where their huge ?50-centimeter: guns
could effectively K)atter 'Paris and
were to pour 3.000 in without damag-
ing any given piece of property its
owner would have to reinsure agahi3t
the next five thousand shells.
The price of the anti-bombardment
Jn surance has gone up to twice what
the anti-airplane bomb policies- cost.
It .means just six francs per thous-
pnd of insurance .if it is furniture
and other household .goods that is be-
ing insured; eight francs per thous-
and if buildings; -and twelve francs
if anything else. .
.The insurance company has; also
drawn up a scale of insurance against
personal injury from long range and
other kinds of guns and airplane
raids. Thereby it is possible to Insure
civilians up to 50.000 francs' at four
francs per thousand in the districts
nearest the present front; and two
and a half a thousand In Paris and Its
immediate vicinity: at one franc in
remoter departments and in Algeria.
The company whose parent organi-
zation in England has achieved a rep-
utation in years past for taking any
kind of a "sporting" risk in the in-
surance line will not insure life for
o'er 50000 rancs unless special prem-
iums are paid.

SNIPERS
IS SERIOUS IASK
OF FRONT LINE MEN
ARTILLERY OCCASIONALLY CALL-
ED UPOX TO JIELP 1VIIEX
i IUFLE FIRE FAILS.
(By Associated Press)
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
. FRANCE July 25. Sniping and coun-
ter sniping has been reduced to a fine
art in modern warfare and the sharp-shooter
uses many other branches of
the service to assist him. An incident
j which occurred a few days ago in the
'British lines In Flanders shows how a
'little artillery work is sometimes nec-
'essary in bringing about the undoing
of the German snipers.
Lieutenant Jackson battalion snip-
ins officer w'as walking down the
trench when he heard a sudden rattle
of musketry German bullets striking
'one of the British sniping plates. One
of his sniping posts was being batter-
'ed by German armor piercing bullets
i The officer hurried to the" scene
land with his periscope located the
fspot where the Germans were firing.
It was a big post on some ground be-
ihind the enemy firing line hidden
;with and looking exactly like any one
!of the other tangled hummocks with
.which shells and mines had strewn
tthe vicinity. But his trained eye
quickly marked out four small aper-
jtures; which he knew to be loop holes.
The excellence of his periscope even
enabled him to see the puffs of un-
i burned powder which came from the
four hostile rifles at every shot.
"They are behind concrete and steel
under that surface nurd sir." said the
sergeant. ''It won't be easy dealing
with them."
"It's a case for the heavy artillery
I'm afraid" murmured Lieutenant
Jackson regretfully he disliked call-
ing in any outside assistance for his
snipers.
"I saw the major of that heavy bat-
tery which covers us going by a mo-
ment ago" suggested the sergeaBt.
Lieutenant Jackson hurried . off
down the tiench and found the major
who was up on a survey of the enemy
line for special targets. A hint of
j what had developed brought the major
i
back and a minute later ne was 'in
the nearest signal dugoutt telephon-
ing instructions to his battery. .
j Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson
' beckoned the sergeant away out of the
major's hearing. "Put Haggarty and
Brown into post 9 sergeant" he or
dered. -I don't think the Germans
have any day communication into that
post of theirs and they will have to
bolt for cover over the ridge."
Presently the first heavy projectile
came rumbling up from the rear. It
burst fifty yards wide in a great
splash of earth. Tho second shell
burst in the German firing line right
in front of the sniping post and tore
a huge gap In the parapet. The third
fell right on top of the post itself. But
the concrete of the structure was
strong and the shell actually rico-
cheted clear and burst several yards
away.
"That has frightened them" ex-
claimed the major suddenly as four
figures appeared from behind the
sniping post and raced madly for the
crest of the ridge. Just then a shot
rang out from the British trench and
the first German pitched forward on
his face. The second fell a yard
further on. The remaining two were
dropped as they reached the crest.
