C. Ernest Bamberger of Salt Lake City, Republican National Committee man from the State of Utah, has been designated special representative to assist the War Finance Corporation In connection with advances made by It to Industries In Utah and Idaho. Ernest Bamberger Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the War Finance Corporation announced the appointment of Mr. Bamberger Saturday. Stephen L. Richards, head of the Beet Sugar Manufacture Association, and E. O. Howard, head of the Farmers Loan Agency, are also designated by Mr. Meyer as representatives of the War Finance Corporation to assist in handling the beet sugar crop of 1921. The War Finance Corporation which was reorganized under Act of Congress within the last five month has been one of the greatest boons to the farmers of the West. Many millions of dollars has been set aside, by the Wat Finance Corporation and loaned to beet sugar companies and to other manufacturers In order that the manufacturers might be able to take the crop from the farmers. The sum of $4,500,000.00 was credited to the State of Utah by the War Finance Corporation for the purpose of handling the beet sugar crop of 1921. This money is loaned to the sugar companies that they may be enabled to pay the farmers for the sugar beets without straining the resources of the companies. President Heber J. Grant of the Mormon Church conferred with Mr. Meyer In the relation to the loan from the War Finance Corporation to the Sugar Companies of Utah. President Grant Is the president of the Utnh-Idah- o Sugar Company. Mr. Meyer, as managing director of the War Finance Corporation, has been extending aid to farmers all over the country, and it was mainly through the efforts of the War Finance Corof Mr. poration and the Meyer that the farmers of the coun try were able to realize upon the crops this fall. The War Finance Corporation has also made heavy advances to cattle and sheep men of Utah and Idaho, and Is enabling the cattle and sheep men through the banks and representatives of the War Finance Corporation t . handle their etock. Couldn't Spare Him. Janet's mother entered ttie nursery and, as site surveyed the childs collection of dolls, said : Now, dear, you have had this soldier doll a long time and the poor little girl next door Is ill and has no doli at all.

FIND MARRIAGE TOO COSTLY Camel Can Only Be Valued fop Most men say, and many women Its Usefulness. agree with them, that mens great and growing reluctance toward matrimony Is chiefly due to the high cost of living, Emma Wise writes in the London Mall. Financial conditions also explain their extreme discretion in cultivating friendships with women, for many men dread the expense of courtship almost as much as that of mutrimouy. There are women a regrettably large number of them who make their sweethearts veritable purse slaves. They are never satisfied unless the poor men keep them liberally supplied with sweets and flowers, frequently take them to theaters and concerts, and make them handsome presents whenever Christmas, a birthday, or any other occasion offers an excuse. It is a lamentable fact that many women judge a mans devotion by his capacity for spending on them money which. If they reflected for an Instant, they would know Is often saved by denying himself actual necessaries. However, it must be admitted that it is not always the woman's fault. Often a girls sweetheart gives her no chance of acting sensibly. The amount of Ingenuity which some men evince In an attempt to conceal the real state of an empty purse is truly marvelous. Other girls make extravagant demands upon their sweethearts time. For example, a young man of high ambition wished to devote his evenings to the study of a subject which might be of great use to him, but which would restrict his visits to his fiancee to Sundays only. When he mentioned his plun to her she wept and reproached him for contemplated neglect. Now he wants to know what he must do. From the standpoint of common sense there Is only one thing he can do. A woman of that type will never help any man along In the world. The girl who asks that a man shall sacrifice his prospects for her pleasure and to satisfy her vanity Is the kind of girl who should be left alone. Taxation in Bulgaria. The peasants are now firmly established In power In Bulgaria, and legislative bodies, both state and provincial, in which their representatives are in the majority, are engaged In transferring the burden of taxation to the shoulders of the despised city folk. The district council of Roustehouk has evolved the following taxes, which it styles American: For carrying a parasol, 50 levas (nominally worth 19 cents each) yearly; for wearing skirts more than eleven Inches above the ground, or silk stockings, 500 levas ; for wearing gloves between April 15 and September 15 wltttout a doctor's certificate, 200 levas; for wearing jewelry, 300 levas; for keeping pet dogs, 50 levas; for use of walking canes by persons less than 50 years old in good health, 100 levas ; for wearing shoes with tops exceeding eleven Inches In height, 200 levas; for wearing fur tippets or muffs, 500 levas, and for using a baby carriage in cities, 200 levas.

More than 300 lives were lost and about $20,000,000 worth of bullion went down with her. The divers liken the condition of the wreck to a long street of high houses which have collapsed into the center. The action of the sea each winter makes the following years work of the divers more difficult. The wreck lies at the extreme depth at which diving is possible. The men work below for a. quarter of an hour and It takes half an hour to bring them to the surface, on account ol the risk of heart failure through the sudden change of blood pressure. Only two spells below per day are possible for each man. The divers ' . Mixed Hawaiian Population. In 1920 there were only 22,000 full' blooded Hawailans in the island and about 18,000 of mixed blood. The two groups were less than 15 per cent in the islands in 1920. The Ameri cans and northern Europeans made up about 10 per cent, the Portuguese ap proxlmately 9 and the Porto Ricans The total and Spaniards about Caucasian population was thus little more than 20 per cent, or only about of the entire population.

There they were, sitting In rows of 50, witlr-thei- r legs folded under them and quite oblivious of my presence. Now and then a camel would blow out its palate membrane (these are hollow and can be filled with air) with a bubbly noise like water going out of a sink pipe.

Even more thoroughly does the cam- el from the deserts crock up when made to cross flints and stones. In the foot all the toes lie In an elastic pad, which flattens out and gives a sure foothold. But woe betide if the ground be slippery or muddy; all your charges will slither this way und that, aud seyere sprains will be the result. The Oont (the camel's name throughout the East) is either a fool or a hero, which ever way you look at It. He Is the most uncomplaining animal alive, but this Is not the advantage It may seem. Over und over again the first sign that anything was amiss was that the poor brute laid down and died. This was not only the loss of a valuable animal, but also a loss of carrying power. His load (lie takes 400 pounds about 20 miles a day with ease) had to be put on other backs, and it Is therefore necessury to watch all one's circus very carefully. The childs rule that a good camel has a big hump Is true of all except desert-brecamels, which have very small humps.

The chopping process has been going on so long the wonder Is New England looks at all as one feels It ought to look. Only sixteen years after the Salem merchant Ellus Haskett Derby, In 1799, built his expensive dwelling It wus torn down because nobody could afford to live g No. V COLOR In the dim agree of history when man first felt the desirq,for beauty, traders searched the world for dyestuffs, jewels, perfumes, spices and precious woods. The risk of these voyages was great and only princes or nobles could afford the fruits of ventures to the far corners of the world. No man of humble origin could aspire to the rich crimsoned linen, the Royal Purple of ancient Tyre, retailing at $600 i pound. Royal Purple is an age-ol- d insignia of aristocracy. This dye was secreted by a small shellfish on the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean and here the enterprising merchants of Tyre formed a dye monopoly equaled only by the German Cartel. A bit of the whitish liquid secreted by this mollusk, if spread upon a cloth and exposed to the air and sunlight turns first green, next blue and then purple. If washed with an alkali soap it becomes the magnificent Crimson worn by the Cardinals and Trinces of the Catholic Church. Tyrian purple vanished from the marts of the world with the fall of Tyre. Synthetic chemistry learned the secret of making Royal Purple as, indeed, it learned to manufacture indigo, the same deep blue that may be seen today in museums, the winding sheets of Egyptian mummies. It was an achievement to snatch its distinctive color from royalty and to rival the best vegetable indigo of the ancients but modern chemistry has gone far beyond that. Today any kind of dye found in nature can be made in the laboratory. Indeed, among the 900 shades and colors bring manufactured there are tints that it would be difficult to discern in the rainbow. These colors all come from coal tar but after it is un-4derstood that coal far is the quintes- sencc f the forests 'iftV.xr " of untold ages the feat docs not appear to be so marvellous.

Practically all types of paint now use a derivative of coal.

The paper industry, the soap business, tnd the shoe tnanu facturcr would be in serious difficulties without the of coal tar. The electrical industry would lose its chief source of insulating material and the dortors and druggists would be without a sufficient supply of phenol to make their supply of everyday drugs. Coal tar, the refuse of ancient vegetable kingdoms, is valuable because it produces a galaxy of brilliant .colors, not so much for the colors themselves but because in producing them so many intermediates are developed that are of inestimable worth to the industrial life of the nation. ct eati-mat- nine-gallon- s compounding .
