The subscription lists for an issue of £2,500,000 werd opened yesterday at 8 o'clock and closed within half

For coms days before the actual flotation of the shares, it was evi- dent that New York was taking s keen interest in the matter. The shares of the Ford Company in America have not been obtainable

by the public in the United States, and apparently there was a keen desire on the part of many on the other side of the Atlantic to treure shares in the English company.

So keen was this desire that it is even believed that the New York exchange on London was affected on Tuesday by the stream of American

remittances to this side to acquire share, and it is probable that a rush on the part of English a plicants was stimulated by the

This would seem to presuppose some unofficial transactions having takom place here, but it would be well, perhaps, that applicants for the sharea should not reckon too confidently as to the actual pre- mium here when the shares have been allotted.

However that may be, the circum stances surrounding the flotation of the shares and the huge applications are as interesting as the venture itself.

Mr. Boothby does not want in dustrialiste a both countries to wait for diplomatic agreements and treaties, and suggests that these would follow from any important industrial activities. He desires that our great industrialists should at once get in touch with Russian industrialists.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

WOMEN AND ATHLETICS,

TRAINING ON STALE BREAD, UNDERCOOKED MEAT AND BEER.

There is not the slightest harm caused by women participating in athletics, according to Dr. E. B. Turner, well-known "physician and veteran British athlete.

Dr. Turner, who is now in the neighbourhood of the seventies and still hale and hearty, was, in his Younger days consistent breaker" of bicycle records and represented England in international Rugby football matches as far back as the days when a team consisted of twenty men instead of the present fifteen. He is still an enthusiastic follower of many aports and can often be seen at feld and track mects.

"I have for the last five years observed a good many competitions among women," he told his audience at a recent lecture at the Institute of Hygiene in London, "and I have not found the slightest harm or mischief of any sort that can be laid to their charge."

Athleties for young men are beneficial and good, especially for men whose work may be sedentary. With regard to the question, of similar exercises for women, thers is still a good deal of misapprehen- sion."

"I saw the other day that the Pope was fulminating against com- petitions for girls, and even the League of Nations has added to its activities an inquiry" into the health of the women athlete."

Dr. Turner went on to describe tests he had made of the pulses and hearts of twenty" women - athletes after they had participated in a four-mile cross-country run on the edge of London. According to his deductions none of the girle showed any ill effect.

He is not a supporter, however, of mixed athletics. He pointed out that in a game such as football, lagrosso or hockey played by mixed teams of men and women, either the game or the girls would be spoilt the game if it has to be slowed down to the speed of the girls, and the girls if the game is played at its cormal pace.

THE IMPORTANCE OF

ACCESSORIES IN "

DRESS.

It is not surprising that the big dressmakers. the jewellers, the people who deal in one leather work, and the speciality shops spend so much time and thought on things that were once considered the minor accessories of dress.

Bags and bracelets, scarves, and brooches, earrings, necklets, and belts, are none of them very large in themselves, except, occasionally when it comes to scarves; but they are so clearly seen against the severe background of modern clothes, that they have become de tails of great importance.

A Clever Bag.

"The woman who is clever at as sembling a wardrobe in which many garments are interchangeable is also clever, as a rule, at choosing acces sories which will harmonise with more than one ensemble. She is fortunate, because the cost of these small but powerful objects is apt to make a considerable hole in. the dress allowance.

It you cannot have the right kind of accessory to wear with an in- dividual outfit you had far better have none at all, except, of course, for the indispensable bag, which, having no packets, we must all possess.

Plenty Of Space,

One of the cleverest bags I have seen lately-in Lane, Crawford's-- was designed primarily for travel- ling

It is made in black or red leather, it has plenty of space for papers any money and keys (passport too if necessary) and a neatly housed and complete assortment of cream, lotion, powder, lipstick, rouge and cleansing tissues, with a mirror large enough to enable one to denl adequately with one's complexion when no dressing-table" is avuil- able.

"Retains Ila Figure,"

The great point about this parti-' | 'cular bag is that it looks quite or

dinary (though by this I do not mean dull) and yet whereas the or-

dinary bag would bulge abominably

if you filled it with all the things

I have mentioned, thin ong retains

its figure admirably.
