Ocean kelp harvest powers Pacific industry
The kelp harvest from the Pacific shores is now on a solid footing with cutters at sea and barges hauling kelp to the wharf for fermentation tanks. Electromagnets remove foreign matter before pumping. Harvesting occurs about six feet below the surface, improving bed growth about every 90 days from Point Conception to the Mexican coast. Potash from kelp is used for chemical purposes but demand is limited. Siberia’s Tobolsk is noted for its great extent and the Kremlin, built by Swedish prisoners, stands as a landmark. Germany shifts to iron coinage due to metal shortages, while zinc coins enter circulation. Industrial exemptions trigger small pranks in draft boards, and a court case in Indianapolis highlights a misfiled exemption note.

A correspondent describes an unconventional fringe technique for frocks. Long fringe strands are applied spiral fashion with invisible stitches, then looped and secured to form a soft looped spiral border. Chenille fringe and two color options are suggested.
Late Style Hints Forecast New York Fad Frocks
The latest trend centers on lateen dresses likely to outrun last summer’s calico craze. Paris favors monkey hair hats though they may not suit light or gray hair. Brown replaces black as a popular evening tone, with most gowns still incorporating some black.

Manufacturers at the National Cloak and Suit Association convention in Cleveland report prices may climb as much as 25 percent due to higher costs.
