MODERN DRESS NOT LACKING IN CHARM BARNACLES AVOID COPPER AND ZINC Palm Industry Chief Sierra Leone Asset The principal industry In Sierra Leone Is the palm oil -industry. Up to the present time It has been purely a domestic Industry. The fruits are collected from the wild palms and are taken to the vil luges, where the oil la prepared by boiling the fruits to re move the oil from the Ileshy pericarp which surrounds the nuts. The nuts are then laid out to dry In the vil luges, and when dry they are cracked one by one to obtain the kernels, which are exported. The palm belte form the banking Institutions of the native population. When they are In need of money to buy clothing or do mestic utensils or to pay their hut tax, they go to the palm belts to col lect the fruit In order to obtain ker nels, which they take to the trading stores to convert Into cash. Palm ker nels form the backbone of the trade of Sierra Leone. This country requires large quantities of palm oil for edible purposes and for its soap-making Industries.

They are Interesting, joften beauti ful and always picturesque. Is long time required to mellow modes of dress to meet the requirements of our taste? All through the Middle ages the cos tumes of the people, to our eyes, are acceptable, sometimes Inspiring. The pageant of "The Miracle" reveals this. Not one blouse or smock or gabardine or mantle f.r sMken hose or pointed shoe Is nji graceful.

It will see charm and grace in the Oxford hag pantaloons of our masculine youth and the knickers of our elders on an outing, if we don't.

Aluminum, Iron, tin and lead, It was found, sustained luxurious growth, but the surfaces of the cop er and zinc plates were practically Revenue collected by all states in 1925 amounted to $13,19 per capita as compared with $4.66 per capita in 1915. per d free. The chemical explanation lies In the fact that the Ions and soluble compounds of the heavy metals are extremely poisonous. Where they are liberated from a metnlllc surface, such a surface Is protected from organic growth. This Is the case with zinc and copper, but the products of marine corrosion with the four other metals are Insoluble; consequently the bar nacles and their allies grow over them unchecked.
