L--------J business outlook is enca0r-
aging despite the adverse factors of labor
controversies, fuel shortage anu tight
money. That these drawbacks have hot
seriously checked industrial progress tes-
tihes 10 the strong position attained dur
ing recent months of uninterrupted activ-
lty and growing confidence. Manufoctir-
nig plants dependent upon steam for mo-
tive power are finding profits curtailed
by the high prices for fuel, and unless
normal conditions are soon restored il win
be necessary to secure better quotations
for products The foregoing is from
the Weekly Trade Review of r. G.. Dua
& Co. 1t continues;
The problem of adequate transporta-
tion is also disturbing, as there is already
congestion in the coke region. When an
thracite coal mining is fully resumed and
grain shipments attain expected dimen-
sions the railroads win find great diateul-
~ in meeting all requirements, despite
vigorous efforts TO increase facilities
Railway earnings in September were "a
per cent larger than last year aud 20.2
per cent in excess of 1900.
Dun's index number of commodity
prices proportional to consumption was
Sl00,64S on Oct. /. an advance of IL per
cent compared with the position on
Sept. 1.
II is certain that all records Of Pig
iron production would be far surpassed il
coke could be obtained. even AT the eNcep-
tionally high prices now prevailing.
Hence reports Of active furnaces measure
the available supply of coke rather than
the demand for pig iron. Imports con-
tinue on liberal scale. although new rub
ings as TO tarin rates checked arrivals
of steel billets. Railway equipment is
still the most active feature of the mar
ket, earshops seeking material, while or
ders are placed for far distant delivery
because early shipments are impossible.
High premiums are offered for locomo-
tives. but works have their books filed
well into next year. Last weeks redue
ton in prices of sheets and wire have
not been followed by any weakness in
other branches of the trade while an ina

PORTO RICAN SCHOOLS.
ThereAre 200 of The EN- Open Through
ont the Island

Twelve hundred public schools were
opened throughout the entiTc island Of
Porto Rico on the morning of Sept. %.
The news is surprisingly important
because it means that 10000 Porto Rican
children have been started on the road
toward worthy American citizenship. The
news means that the youth of Porto Rico
are being given a chance in life that they
never could have had under the Spanish
flag. We have carried to them the cp-
portunities that Europeans have TO come
TO us 10 get.
The fifty thousand boys and girls who
assembled in the LOO public schools of
Porto Rico on that Monday viii be the
fathers and mothers. the educated faith
ers and mothers. of the next generation.
And the next generation of Porto Ricans
will be the citizens Of an American State,
a sovereign member of the American
Union. Without the education impaired
in her public schools Porto Rico woul
never be fit for statehood.

"A new industry has recently been

Electricity in the House.

Not every man who airily claims
that his house is equipped with mod.
ern Improvements has any idea of the
extent to which these improvements
have been developed.
Not so long ago a steam radiator, a
gas jet and a bathtub constituted all
the known improvements that even
the owner of a modern palace would
dream of coveting.
But the marvellous application of
electricity to every existing domestic
institution has made the present list
Of improvements a burden to count
To be quite up to date, for instance,
you must equip every room in your
new mansion, especially the sleeping
rooms, with hand lamps which light
at the touch of a spring. Equally con-
venient is a pocket lamp and battery
made like folding camera-obviously
a great convenience to burglars
something, indeed, that nobody in the
world Of graft can afford to do with
out.
There are also ornamental candles
with miniature lights at their tips; a
tiny lamp attaches to the front Of a
clock, and small lamps for decorative
purposes.
A current is introduced in a house
to supply power for Gat-irons, curling
irons, coffee mills, ice cream freezers,
and sewing machines and heat for
chatting dishes and tea kettles. Tele-
phones are replacing speaking tubes in
most Of the new mansions and also
to connect with stables and other out
buildings. If power from a waterfall
or windmill is available the owner of
a house can install an electric plant of
his own at small cost In many large
country houses the dynamo is run by
q gasoline engine.

Life ofaL Lock.

A railway mail clerk in one Of the
railroad stations Of this city gave the
lock to a mail pouch q snap as he
tossed the bag into his car.
There are a half million OF these
locks in use on mail bags in the
United States" he said to a reporter.
'They are made right here in Wash
ington on @ street, between Four-and-
one-half and Sixth streets. in the mail
bag and repair shop Of the Postofice
Department
THE Government employs about
sixty machinists there, and about $50
other employees on mail bag making
and repairing. If the fire in the rear
of this building on Indiana avenue a
few days ago had extended to and con-
sumed the shop and it's contents the
service would have been seriously in
terfered with for a time.

securely in the pouches are very
strongly made, and are called eagle
locks because each has an eagle in
bas-rellef on the face. BY a Few pro-

and the old disagreeable feature of
rust will be removed. These locks
stand the hardest kind of usage and
all kinds Of weather, yet their average
life is ten years. They turned out of
the G street shop 1900 locks and
1900 keys last year, at a cost Of about
$4,000. In enumerating the industries
Of Washington in the future the lock,
key and mail bag manufacturing in
dustry must not be omitted, as it is
considerable.
1.-THE department has a special lock
for its valuable registered packages,
and also a special key. Each Of these
locks and keys is numbered and re-
corded and carefully guarded and
traced. Many thousands are in use"
