Purple Trend _ For Mourning

(By The Canadian Press)

‘IURDNTO, Feb. k-Without suggestion from faihion soiucee Toronto women have added purple, the mourning color for royalty, to their black costumes. Many have chosen a simple knot o: ribbon and others have pinned velvet to their fur collars. Purple hats with a re- petition of that color in a scarf or bunch of violets are being worn.

Viewing a large group of women at some of Toronto's downtown restaurants, one is suddenly aware of this addition o‘ purple to the costumes. Instead of the usual gen- eral block, but and brown color impression which one gets of s. crowd in winter garb, the rich depth of the purple tones stood out in striking contrast to the general tone of black and extremely dark colors.

some of the Toronto shops, com- menting on the fact that orders for all-block gowns and purple hats had been received and filled, said no definite preparatlons for service to customers had been thought of, There has been a demand for dsrk purple felt hats of the convention- al. brimmed. English type.

On the other hand. lDDifmI-ly the demand for purple ties for men has required large orders for them being put through the ‘manufact- uiers.

NICE FUR GLOVES? "AW, RATS!" SAYS N. B. PIIJD PIPER

(By The Canadian Press)

SAINT JOHN, N. B., Feb. il-The ladle; may not like it but George Hawton says that selling the pelts is a profitable sideline of rat ex- terminating, and the fur of many feminine gloves once covered cr- dinary rats of the cellar and sewer variety.

"I sold over 800 skin; last year," said Hawton. “For one thing. they make gloves out of rat skins. You can't tell them from mole skin when they're treated. A pair of rat skin gloves will set you back 20 shillings or so in the Old County, and bring about $5 in the United States.

"Then they make fishing fllcs out of the white belly parts of the skins. They even make coats out of the belly part-very fine ones. too. i ship the pelts to Montreal. When rat skins are tanned they are very strong. They'll last for years.

"It Just depends," said Hllwton when asked how much he received per skin. “It's all according to the condition of the pelt. Some bring l1 cents, some 15 cents, some as high as 20 cents. You skin them like you would a rlbblt. I can skin s rate in a couple of seconds.

"Handling them doesn't bother me at all. It's never made rne sick. Handling a rat is the some as hand- ling anything else. It's just im- agination that makes people dread them. Oi course. a rat carries o lot of diseases-oi lot of germs- but I put them through steam be- fore I handle them. I work with gloves and put them over a boiler for a while before I skin them."

“Pide the Piper," as he designatel himself, says proudly that he bas- ged more than 2,000 rats in i935. l-fis weapon is l. Poison which lie claims was concocted by him and a German sailor Whllq they were st sea on a square-rtggor. -

"we were pesteied with rats on that ship," he related. "This Cler- man fellow and I got together and mixed this stuff up Ind in a week there wasn't anything but powder left of the rats.”

Ice Conditions Cause Fuel Shortage

BOSTON. Feb. 4—(A.P.)—'1‘he Boston Chamber of Commerce ask- ed President Roosevelt tonight to order Government ice breakers in- to the Buzzards Bay area to avert "a shortage of fuel."

It asked the secretaries of war and navy in similar telegrams to dispatch aid to the coast guard forces that have been struggling to keep open the Cape. Cod Canal and other ice-choked waterways. ‘Ikie Maritime ‘Division of the Chamber telegraphed the three ex- ecutives that 14 tank "s arc cziilght in the ice blockade.

“Unless emergency measures are taken," the message said, “the Bos- ton area will b: hit by kick of fuel."

Today the coast guard will send three cutters and a. patrol boat to make another onslaught on the icy seal that has been laid on Buz- zards Bay. . Nantucket Island, cut off from cape cod by ice, was visited by planes on three different missions, some carried bread and other foodstuffs. A coast guard plane dropped the first mall in three dllyi.
