Then Dr. Tillyard placed some metal rings or the table. Ha writes:
"Walter lifted them up and said they were damned heavy and awk- ward. He swore."
Once or twice during the seanca Walter said he was "off to Niagara Falls or somewhere else for à minute or two."
At another, even more remarkable seance the spirit of Walter left fin- ger-print in wax according to Dr. Tyard. Packets of ordinary dental wax were used and secretly marked beforehand. When the spirit of Walter arrived that night it asked that the war should be put

DYES & HEALTH
DANGERS IN DRESS COLOURING
THE BLUE LADY:
"Loose dyes not only damage the reputation of the dyer and atore, but may cause serious trouble to the clothes, skin, and even health of the customer, declared Mr. J. G. WI liams, of the analytical and testing laboratory of Messrs. Selfridge and Company Ltd., in the course of an address to the summer school of the Drapers Chamber of Trade at Calus. College, Cambridge.
Mr. WUliams continued: "I had an instance brought to my notice been ruined through its wearer when an eighteen-guinea gown had leaning on an art-serve tablecloth. In another case a woman, through a faultlly-dyed dress, had her neck and arms turned a deep blue colour, which no amount of washing would relieve until it wore off." (Laughter.) NEAR
There were about fifteen hundred chemically different dyes at the present time, said Mr. Williams, yet colour fastness was a serious cause of complaint. Out of 120 samples which he had tested, only twenty- one were found of good all-round fastness.

Skirts Which Shrink Referring to shrinkage, Mr. Wil- liams warned women against maro- cain particularly, and men against unshrunken collars and shirts.

Mr. J. M. Hollely, of Messrs. Popham's Limited, Plymouth, pressed the opinion that self Inter- est must be of paramount import- ance In business.
