Ho# War Affected Trade.
Investigation by trade experts show
that the sales of jewelry, diamonds,
watches, pianos and phonographs in-
creased during the war. Corsets ami
mlinery showed a considerable falling
of, while the ante* of shoes is aceount-
ed for by the withdrawal of several
million men for army service. The de-
crease in the sales of corsets and mil-
Inery is attributed to a greater sim-
pilciry and rconomy in women’s attire
The increase in the sales of jewelry,
piano*. ete . is laid at the door of the
prosperity the war brought working
people, bet h men ami women. The in-
crease in such sales was particulariy
notable among munition factory and
shipyard worker* and others in the em-
ploy of the government who have made
more money than ever before.
iease is dry? Men like S. M. Gose of Decatur, one of the heaviest investors in the
field, states, “I consider the Cumberland property 100 per cent better than many
properties now being drilled in Burkburnett; it looks better than the lease I recently
assisted in putting a company on." John Scott, another successful operator in the
Burkburnett field, says, "The Cumberland property should prove very valuable; jt
looks good." The opinions of these men. along with others who are familiar with

surroundings and every foot of land on which the Cumberland wll drill mut be
accepted. They know good property; they have been successful in their investments
in a number of fields.
Algerian Women Waking Up.
In no countries have the barriers
which have hedged women in been
broken down to a larger extent by the
war than in Mohammedan countries.
The women in Algiers have taken
charge of the estates and businesses
and handled the money of their hus-
bands who have gone to fight or who,
in many cases, have gone tn France
to work in munitions plants and facto-
ries for higher wages than those they
can command at home. The women
seem to have used their new inde-
pendence well. They subscribed heav-
ily to the government loans.—The Suf-

one of the many toy stores in the
city. They entered the store. I wait*

walked away with a bundle under his

I asked the soldier about it. As he
