MAKE BOATS WINTER HOMES Londoners Partially Solve Housing Question by Living on the Thames \ Close to the City. The housing question is being solved in a novel way between Thames Ditton and Hampton court. Unable to obtain a room occupants of houseboats are continuing to live in their floating homes, and in one backwater, 13 miles from London, houseboats are actually k being built for winter occupation, LonI don Answers states. J They are moored by a tree-sheltered | bank. But you are too late to apply L for them?they are all taken. One wonders what will happen when the floods begin. I Bungalows, which usually see no B human soul save during the hot weather, are also finding winter tenW ants. A five-room bungalow on | Thames Ditton island cost 25 shillings Fa week until April.

N ? __ V NEWFOUNDLAND RICH IN IRON Enough Ore There to Supply the World for at Least a Century, If Not Longer. Lord Morris in a lecture at St John's H Wood Presbyterian church, Marl- j H borough place, London, described the BB development of Newfoundland for the ; Bv last 400 years, "from the time of the j | early colonizers up to the day when ^ that great captain of industry, Lord I A Northcliffe, established the great paper j H mills that are now supplying the Times,; V the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and f the Sunday Pictorial with paper." r He said that in Newfoundland today - there were many paper "propositions" i * quite as attractive, if properly de-! veloped, as that of Lord Northcliffe and 1 his brother, Lord Rothermere. There were also sufficient fish on the Newfoundland oanks and along the Newfoundland and Labrador shores to feed the whole of the British empire. They had only touched the fringe of that great fishing industry in which lay the possibilities of cheap food for England. Lord Morris drew an attractive pio ture of wonderful mineral possibilities, j showing that Newfoundland was the j second largest producer of iron in the British empire, England coming first! There was enough iron ore to supply all the needs of the British empire and of the world for the next hundred years.?London Mail. ; Headlines and Hosiery.

Strange to stumble upon a quotation . about manna in news of the drug and f chemical trades! The children of Israel, we know, were saved from starvation in the desert by it It fell from heaven, was small like coriander seed, 1 . and tasted like wafers made with honey. However, the actual manna of trade today comes from incisions in South European trees and it is now reported i to have been quoted higher than preI viously in the primary market. The I demand has increased of late, especially for small flake manna, which is the better quality, coming from the upper part of the stem of the tree. Referred to an Expert.
