TABOO IN SILVER TERRITORY TONOPAH, I\L\ July 24.- One ana two dollar bills, omens of il luck to desert rats and miners, are scorned in the vast sagebrush reach- es of southern Nevada. Banks do not carry them to; cagh small checks or to make change, and most busi ness houses refuse to place any piece of currency under $5 in the cash register. Before 017-gold and: sik ver coing. were almost the only mediums of exchango. Aversion to paper money is natural in a region where men live and die for the yellow or sfiver ore.

P. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, July 24 Men are interested in women's clothes but not in babies. So de- clares Mrs. Walter Runciman, M. P, who is the latest addition to women parliamentarians in the house of commons and should be an authority on the subject In, addressing the Newcast'e Ro- tary club here on women's ques- tions, Mrs. Runciman said that there were none which did not in- terest men as well as women un: less it was the care of babies. Men, she deglared, are responsible for all medern eccentricities in femi- nine dress because women dress to please them. They, however, are not so ready to please women the same way, “It is a pity men do not give| more attentior to their own adom- ment,” says Mrs. Runciman, “and produce something more irterest- ing and becoming in their clothes than they do now.” ——.
