. NEW YORK, April 13. Almost ev
ery unhampered male adult in the
country has tried "new" ways of get
ting out of jury duty. It remained for
a -Manhattanite to discover a truly
n.ew one which works. It isn't. Bick
wives or government necessity." It's
whiskers! Just good substantial whis
kers. The Manhattanite had been un
usually pursued by Juror-servers and
had reached the desperate stage. So
he tried thinking. And as he thought,
he realized that never yet had he
been' present when the" opposing at
torneys had dome more than perfunc-,
torily questioned any bewhlskered
talesman and then excused him "by
consent." He started in immediately
and recently when he came up before.
Justice Barlow S. Weeks, he had a
full beard with which to confront the
court and lawyers.. The'counsels look
ed at him once, smiled at each, other,
and he was excused. No one knows
why it works, but it does.
Indication of the demand for American-
manufactured products and raw
materials from foreign countries is
contained in cable advices received in
New York within the last few days
from foreign agents of American ex
port , corporations, specifying the
goods wanted and the terms of pay
ment. A report made the other day
by one of the largest of these corpor
ation says that inquiries have in in
stances resulted in orders, owing to
the fact that prospective purchasers
were in position to deal on cash or
short-term credit basis. Many other in
quiries have come to naught because
of demand for long-term credits.
The exchange situation makes the
matter of credits a prime one in any
discussion of export trade and meth
ads of pushing it. Longtime credits
and the exchange question in its va
rious angles will be one of the important-subjects
of consideration taken
up at the National Foreign T ade
council convention in Cleveland this
May.
by Miss Ella Delorla, daughter of a
Sioux chief, of Standing Rock, South
Dakota, who has left for the "Pacific
coast to give a series of talks on rec
reational and other branches of Y. W.
work. Miss Delorla, who -was graduat
ed from Columbia University in 1915,
has , been physical director in. All
Saints' school, at Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, since her graduation. It may
seem a bit like carrying coal to 'New
castle for what was primarily a city
organization to go out and give phy
sical training to Ind'lan girls, but it
has worked splendidly. Miss Delorla
assisted in putting on a pageant at
an Indian gathering last year, which
she wrote and directed, telling the
history of her tribe, and she is plan
ning to do more work of that kind.
Another Indian girl recently added to
the Y. W. forces is Susie Meek, wtfo
had been trained by the' Friends, but
whom they could not employ as a
worker because their rules insist upon
married workers and Susie is as yet
unattached. She explained frankly
that after she was married she might
prefer to stay at home and take care
of her husband and home and babies
and so she'd better go where they
could use her now.
The Hon. Sylvia Gough 1 the lat
est member of the English titled' cir
cle to i make her debut on the proces
sional stage. She has chosen for her
medium the chorus of "The Right
Girls," a new musical comedy just
opened here. The Hon. Sylvia is the
wife of Captain Wilfred Gough, son
of Sir Hugh Sutlej-Gough, and she is
said to have been induced to become
a climber after theatrical laurels
through the success of her friend,
.Lady Diana Manners, in the cinema
field.
Max Rosen, the well known violin
ist, was amusing himself at the phono
' graph recording laboratory by playing
over a Jazz number with a syncopated
orchestra. One of the ragtlmers,, un
aware of the violinist's identity, took
, the instrument from him and said:
"Pretty good, but let me show you how
to play this Bluff. Just the same, you
got talent, I'll say."
Gotham is now eating its fruits
from South Africa. Shipments of
plums, nectarines, peaches, pears and
honey-dew melons from far-off Cape
Colony are helping the city to keep
her reputation for ignoring seasons in

There is loud cheering by the ten

The heroof it rented 'himself u house
which needed decorating. Even the

he went to court, "But no," the judge
declared, "If nothing was said as to

NEW YORK, April 12. Even uftcr
all these years . of sophistication,
New York cocicty simply cannot pre
vent itself .from getting all keyed
up about real princes and prin
cesses. It has obtained considerable
zent from the presence here this
last season of various jnembers of
the nobility who were, nevertheless,
quite a ways from being royalty.
So now. the news that the Princess
Anastasia of Greece, formerly Mrs.
Leeds of the U. S. A., will come to
Newport for a part' of the season,
has sent social thrills down many
spines. For her husband Is of
truly royal birth and brother to the
present king. Everyone is getting
out her former acquaintance with
the one-time Mrs. Leeds and dusting
it up all ready for use. It's going
to be 'a pleasant occasion in more
ways than one, it would be thought,
for the handsome women who used
to be half-snubbed by some of the
.present enthusiasts, under the title
of the "tin-plate heiress."

(In spite of the cables and news re
ports it begins to seem as though the
great war were actually over. Foreign
mail steamboat service has just been
re-established in New York bay and
harbor after four years of discontinu
ance. The service transports mail
from incoming trans-Atlantic and
coastwise mail steamers' from Quar
antine to the North river pier, to extoe.
dite delivery. It was abolished April
21, 1917, "for th time of the war."
The recent verdict In the case of1
a New York department store against
a .talking machine company is of
general interest because of the con
test which has sprung up at various
times over 'the same principal of a
manufacturer's being able to con
trol the retail price of his product.
R. H. Macy & Qgmpany sued the
talking machine concern because it
has refused to sell the store Its ma
chines after they cut the price on
them, charging violation of the Sher
man Anti-Trust law. The Jury In the
federal district court awarded Macy
& Company 149,698.71 damages. The
verdict, will probably be appealed

LONDON (By Mail) Horse racing,
the Englishman's favorite sport, has
begun and this season promises to
be a record one. The pre-war stan
durd as regards the number of horses
In training has not yet been attained,
but there are plenty of horses and
another year or two should bring the
turf back to Its original standard.
Never were such large sums of
money offered for blood stock as
now and there are np signs of a
slump. It was the owner-breeder
who saved the situation during the
war. With' few exceptions all big
breeders kept their studs going,
with the result that today the whole
tuft situation is better than might
hare -.been expected.
Race-courses are overcrowded and
the executives are perplexed as to
how they can accommodate the thou
sands of people who now Vittend.
Nowhere else in the world is
horse-racing quite so' "exciting" ns
in England. The raucous shouts of
the book-makers, the picturesque gip
sies, the blare of color as the horses
go flitting past, the frocks of the
society dames in the grand stand,
from1 the roof of which the "tick
tack" men send their mystic signs
down to their colleagues. In the ring,
the deftness of the three-card trick
sters who reap a golden harvest
among the unwary; the frenzied,
shouting and stamping of the bet
ters as the horses dash past the
wlnnlng-p'ost all of these things go
to make an English race-course one
of those "sights" ao dear to the
hearts of tourists.

First In The Fields
CLECTRAC FARMERS A WEEK
AHEAD IN SPRING
Clectrac farmers are first in the fields every
year. Even a late spring doesn't worry them their
Clectracs get right into the fields and start work
a week ahead of their neighbors.
There are no delays with a fleet of Clectracs on
the job. The tank-type tracks ride easily over the
soft, wet ground. They do not dig in or mire in the
soggy spots.
With the Clectrac fleet its easy to get plowing
and fitting done and be ready for those few days
when conditions are just right for planting. And
if one Clectrac should be laid up, the others easily
shoulder the extra load and the work goes right on.
"Selectirig Your Tractor"
tells all about how Clectrac reduces production
costs on raising farm produce. Come in and get
your copy.
