LONDON June 14. Having kept
the British empire running fairly well
for the last aix month the labor
government is JfoiDf to turn its hand
to a really difficult Job and try to
suppress sweepstake betting on the
horse races.
Home Minister Henderson the
other night told the house of com-
mons that the law against sweep-
ktakes would be enforced impartially.
He immediately was reminded that 87
. labor party organisations then Would
be the first to be punished for all
bad sweeps on the derby.'
It also was suggested that Mr.
Henderson might find means of pros-
ecuting the whole country at once and
be done with it for nearly everybody
buys a sweepstuke ticket or two- at
derby time.
The sweeps are organised for all
sorts of charitable and benevolent
purposes.
Cliveden ancient country estate of
Lord and Lady Astor situated on the
bank of tbe Thames near Taplow
will be the scene of two large garden
parties to visiting Americans during
tlie coming month.
On July 10 the Astors will enter-
tain the delegates to the advertUing
convention and their families and on
--Cr 27th they will stage a similar
party for the delegates to the Bar
association convention.
During the week-end following the
latter affair the Astors will have as
house guests at Cliveden Secretary of
State Hughes Secretary of Com-
merce Hoover and other American
notables who on that occasion will
have the opportunity of striking up
friendly acquaintance with some of
the leaders in tbe political life of

HERLIN June 14 Titles of no-
bility to order was the chief stock
in trade of Von Hohendorf Von HauK-
lrr and company . the principals of
which recently were hailed into a Ber
lin court. 1'he company in the words
of the judge who tried the principals
were resDonsible for oueratiug 'the
moat succebsfui wholesale factory for
turning out aristocratic marriages ever
undertaken by sharpers in Germany."
Alfred Von Hausfer was accused of
having married in less than a year
11 ambitious young women all of
whdm it appeared- were. sger for a
hniiflln tn their names and willinc to
pay liberally for the privilege. One of
tne victims wan a moving picture it-
trexs who admitted a title would be
worth a great deal to her in business
especially in America. These women
paid from $1 to $.'10)0 each.
By ingenius schcaies and numerous
forged and faked papers giving him
fraudulent titles. on Hauler satis-
fied their desires to become short
term princesses but a day of reckon-
ing was brought about by suspicious
persons who engiifted detectives and
the company quickly went into tauk-
ruptry. The head of the concern was Krau
Anna Von Hohendorf. who it was re-
ported in court collapsed and expired
when it became known the polk-e were
after her. It was Anna according to
the police who conceived the scheme
of making princesses to order and it
was she who engineered tne plots io
get acquainted Willi young women. She
paid Von Huusler a percentage on
pjirh mil maze.
Vn Hausler's trial was nostnonpd
nendiua further investigation. The
police said he had several confeder-
ates who had not been captured.
Furthermore the police expjt to
find a half dozen more women who
have been victims of the marrisge
factory.
The bobbed hair craze which litis
extended pretty well all over Kurope
as well as America has brought a
boom to the German scissor industry
according to receut trade reitorts but
at the same time it has placed man-
ufacturers of hair pins in the dol-
drums A number of wire bone ivory
tortoise shell and celluloid comb factories-
are reported to have reduced
their forces greatly and in several
eases to have shut Sown altogether
. owing to a lack of demand for orna-
ments used to support the hair or to
keep tbe head dresi in plact.
A staid old trade report says:
"Manufacturers of scissors are work-
ing full time at Bolingen and other
Darts of Germany. Orders are recorded
from all parts of the world and prices
for stock goods vary from ehjnt t3 i2
marks per dosen pair which corres-
ponds to price Increase of approxi-
mately 60 per ornt as against the
prices before the war."
Some of the hair pin eomh and or-
nament manufacturers are conside.-ing
taking up manufacture of scissors or
something which bobbed hair wearers
or other faddists will not be able to
io without. "

4-4-
Royal Ascot week commencing
June 17 will be probably the most
brilliant race week and society func-
tion this season with a record at
tendance "in view of the many Ameri
can and coloniul visitors here for the
British empire exhibition.
The king and queen will entertain a
select circle of guests at Windsor
castle from which they will drive
through the great park daily in their
motors to Ascot where they will
change to landaus proceeding in
semi-state behind four horses and
with gentlemen outriders through the
race truck and right up to the royul
box.
As the Epsom races on the open
downs are principally for the peo-
ple." Ascot is reserved for the so-
ciety folk Who have to pay for the
privilege of getting into the race
course and alto big prices for seats
in the stands. There is such a rush
for these reservations at from 15 to
30 gufneas that all were sold a week
ago while the tickets to the royal in-
closure long have-been allotted.
After the daily races at which the
women Vie with each other in tbe
matter of dress there ia a continuous
round of entertainments and house
parties in the big establishments
nearby.
As far as the racing is concerned
there is a strong international flavor
to the entries this year French
sportsmen having sent over 30 horses
to compete for the several valuable
prizes offered including tbe royal
hunt cup the gold cup and the gold
vase.
It is hoped by sporting men that
the French cracks Kpinard and Sir
Gallahad will be sent to the post
despite the big handicaps in the mat-
ter of weights imposed on them.
The Prince of Walca is developing
the philosophic mind. Everybody is
always talking or writing about what
a fine young man the prince is but
his ideas of other folks seldom get
printed. They would be more inter
esting thnn some of the well worn
tributes to the prince's good looks
and manners if his recent comment
about somebody lie knows bns been
reported correctly. "Kvery dny that
blessed so-and-so gets royaller and
royaller and every day I get com-
moner and commoner" Wales is said
to haw remarked about this person.

JJmne JmfoM&e Sale
WE WISH TO REMIND YOU ONCE MORE THAT
EVERY ARTICLE IN THE ENTIRE STORE HAS A BIG PRICE REDUCTION
But aside from price reductions we wish to write an ed itorial of something of equal if not more importance.
Here gathered under our roof is a happy contented business family of some few hundred individuals. There's
team-work because all work toward a common good. There's the get-ahead spirit in every employe from the
young errand boy up to the president. You can't help but notice it when you visit the store. You see it re-
flected everywhere in the smiling countenances of the salespeople; you see it in the merchandise you buy.
That contentment is part of every purchase made here. Goods are only half sold when there's half-hearted effort.
As members of this business enterprise we make it our most important business to see that every employe is
happy and contented. Perhaps that's why it is mirrored "in the constantly increasing volume of business we do.
