"GETTING RICH QUICK.'
ANCIENT PROTOTYPE OF GRAZE.
"Industrials" are Fashionable. In Japan. in the manufacturing nations of Europe, in Great Britain and to a lesser extent in the United States the speculating public has gone on a mad revel in industrial securities: Re-flotation at "replacement values has-been the bait to attract monies from the public in England this and other methods are being used to de- coy the unwary as best suits the national temper of those who would get rich quick in other countries.

"SHAMROCK'S" VICTORY
AN EXCITING FINISH.
* SANDYHOOK, July 21.
The "Shamrock's" victory is very popular and Sir Thomas Lipton is the centre of extravagant enthusiasm. The finish was very exciting. The "Resolute" made a determined attempt to beat the "Shamrock" on the time allowance.
THE THIRD RACE.
In the third race over a windward and leward course the "Shamrock" led at the start but the "Resolute" crossed her bows an hour later, increased lead to half a mile and rounded the halfway mark 1 min. ahead, On the homeward run the "Shamrock" repassed the "Resolute" and finished 18 seconds ahead. The "Shamrock" was therefore beaten on the time allowance by 7 min. 1'sex. A navy blimp observing the race fell into Jamaica Bay. The crew and newspapermen aboard were easily rescued.

POLES TO APPLY FOR AN ARMISTICE.
A TEST OF SINCERITY,
LONDON, July 21, -- The British reply to the Soviet note despatched to Moscow last night assumes that the Soviet is ready to make peace but suggests, that some of the Soviet's argumente cast a doubt upon that intention. In the meantime in order to test the Soviet's sincerity, the poles are advised to apply for an armistice. If the Soviet declices and invades Poland the British trade negotiations will be stopped. The Russian mission at present at Reval will not proceed to England until the question is settled.

A NEW LIFE-BOAT.
SIR. RUNGIMAN ON OFFICIAL "HUMBUG.
A huncheon was given the other day at the Savoy Hotel by the Board of Directors of the Gaskin Life-boat Syndicate, with the object of explaining the merits of an invention which, it is claimed, should play a large part in the saving of life at sea. The Gaskin
lile-boar has been classified in America
as an A.1. 'open life boat, which in- cludes the best types of life-boats altowed to be swung under davits. She has also been certified as a 2 A. standard life-boor of the second-class. and as a life-craft. So far, the Board of Trade has refused to grant an A. 1 certificate on the ground that, having- á double bottom iz is not, by an old regulation, a life-boar but ́s portDOES.
Sir Walter Runcinian, who pre-: sided, said he wanted the Board of Trade officials to have done with un- necessary “humbug" and so get vid of the red tape which actuated them. They should minimize the loss of life as much as possible, and the Gaskin tile-boat ought to be adopted by the Board of Trade, even if a new regula- tion had to be framed for that pur-, pose at the earliest moment.
Sir Arthur Pearson (Director of the Gaskin Syndicate) said that ar2 pre- sest there was needless loss of life et sea owing to the inefficient life- The Gaskin life-bost, could boats.
