BREAKPROOF PACKING OF BOTTLES TO BE TESTED| Baltimorean Will Demonstrate Method Before International Milk Dealers’ Group. TORONTO (#).—Milkmen have their | moments, and one of their big ones is expected when O. B. Schier of Balti. more hurls crates of bottles against | brick wall before 1,500 members of the | International Milk Dealers’ Association | in England, is being erected in Victoria here late in_October. Schier, with a special machine, throws the bottle crates against a wall with far greater force than ever met under work- ing conditions to show how they can be packed to withstand even such sevel shock. & Whether milkmen with weak hearts will be permitted to view the affair is uncertain, although the claim that the industry can save $6,500,000 a year by right packing seems likely to pull every one through with no greater damage than an involuntary shudden or so.

OFFICES . STARTED IN ENGLAND! Improvements to Attract Interest Rather Than Repel, Says Head of Service. LONDON (N.AN.A.)—The new post- master general, H. B. Lees-Smith, has started a campaign for brighter post offices. Instead of the somewhat dingy and depressing offices that are the rule in this country we are to have neat, bfllhtly;gllnled bulldings that will af tract rather than repel. The postmas- ter general has even guaranteed that before long we shall have “pencils that are sharp, ink that is liquid and nibs that will flow like a poem.” Mr. Lees-Smith had an amusing ex- perience during a recent tour of the post offices. He went into a village post office in Wales to find the post- mistress distracted because she had a telegram for delivery and no one to deliver it. There are no telegraph mes- sengers in such a place, but the post- mistress is allowed to get whom she can and pay them 3 pence for their trouble. (CopyriEnt, baper Alliance.) TAN INFLUENCES STYLE.

STOCKHOLM (N.AN.A.).—October will see the opening of a great exhibition of cotemporary art in Stockholm, for which the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden have been affording practi- cal help to the organizers. Sir Joseph Duveen'’s national organization, on be- half of living British artists, has ar- ranged the exhibition, which will be held under the auspices-of the British government. Princess Ingrid, the Crown Prince’s daughter, has artistic talent, and Prince William, her uncle, is an artist of in- | ternational repute. So the Swedish royal family will be active and inter- | ested patrons. | (Copyright, 1920, by North American News- | paper Alliance.) o Dull times in Japan have so decreased the sale of automobiles this season that many dealers may fail.
